My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 222

"Sure! As long as you call me, I won’t forget." Tristan said.

Bella, "..."

"Okay, can you release my hand? I’ll be late for my meeting if you don’t let me go now…"

Tristan leaned closer and kissed her lightly before he signaled his bodyguard, sitting next to the driver, to open the car door for Bella.

Bella quickly exited the car, afraid Tristan might try to stop her again or step out of his vehicle.

This morning, she had actually declined Tristan’s offer to drive her to the office, but he persisted. She had no choice but to agree, with one condition: he must not leave his car.

Bella was gripped with deep worry. She was not yet ready for her relationship with Tristan to be exposed to the world, especially not in her office.

The media’s relentless pursuit of gossip news and constant presence in the Quantum Capital building, including the café or lobby lounge, only added to her anxiety.

The longer time before people knew about her relationship with Tristan, the better because she still needed to resolve many things, especially about Laura Kiels and her family. Once these two issues were sorted, she would allow Tristan to make an announcement. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

However, when they were about to leave the house earlier, Bella was taken aback when she saw Tristan’s luxurious car. She had expected him to drive her in his usual, modest vehicle, and this unexpected change left her perplexed.

When she protested, he stated, "My dear wife, I just want to let everyone know that Arabella Donovan already has a man, and her man is a big shot. So, they can back off if they dare to approach you..."

His ability to spin words into excuses made her feel amused and speechless simultaneously.

...

Bella quickened her steps as she walked toward the lobby. From afar, she saw Leo standing inside, near the entrance.

Leo looked casual, wearing a white slim-fit shirt and navy trousers that hugged his long legs. His simple attire did not diminish his attractiveness, prompting a few women nearby to steal glances at him.

They were all curious to see Leo standing near the entrance, holding two cups of coffee. This only heightened their interest in who the lucky woman would receive his coffee!?

Three women seated on the lounge sofa whispered among themselves while stealing glances at Leo.

"Look... Look at that guy with the white shirt over there; he looks charming."

"Oh my! Why have I never seen him before? Is he new!?"

"Do you know which division he’s in?"

"I’m not sure. But judging by his attire, he’s probably a staff member at the management office."

"You mean Quantum Capital?"

"Yeah, obviously! I hope he’s on our team’s entertainment division."

"Ugh, can you guess who he’s waiting for? Looks like he’s been standing there for three minutes."

"Let’s approach him and ask his name," one woman giggled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Leo.

"Let’s go. I hope I can snag some coffee from him," another woman responded.

"Hahaha, you can have the coffee. I just need his cell phone number."
