My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 246

"Yeah, life was not so kind to me in the beginning. But…yeah…, I’m glad I met the right people, including you, Boss." Leo answers her awkwardly.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let’s talk about work..." Bella said softly, but her eyes stared thoughtfully at Leo as if she signaled him to return to discussing work.

That gaze caused Leo to nod in a hurry.

...

They started discussing Stefan’s arrival. Bella already assigned Leo to prepare Stefan’s place and temporary office during his stay in this city.

She hears everything about the progress in silence.

"His bedroom is already ready upstairs... Overall, everything is ready. His office has also finished. We only need to buy a high-tech computer for him..." Leo explained.

"There is no need to buy anything. Let him buy himself because only he knows what he needs. You only need to provide him with space and funds..." Suddenly, she paused for a while as if thinking about something.

After several seconds, Bella looks at Leo again, "Leo, you don’t need to ask for money from the company. Just ask me. I will use my personal money for what Stefan needs during his stay here..."

Leo was confused as to why she suddenly changed her mind. And why does she use her own money?

"Bella, I know you are super rich, and your husband is too. However, it does not feel right if you use your own money." Leo expresses his concern for her.

"Stefan is also here to work for the company and not merely handle your personal matters. I think Jack or Harper will be OK if you use company money for him, right?" His eyes narrowed as he looked at her, curious to know her reason.

Bella chuckled when she realized Leo didn’t actually understand her.

She couldn’t risk Stefan’s identity. He is their precious asset, their top hacker in the company. If his identity were exposed, his life would become a target for evil people outside. Someone might even kidnap or eliminate him.

That’s why Jack has been overprotective of Stefan since he joined the company; only a few people know his real name, and others know that Stefan is Jack Foster’s assistant, using an alias named Gael Foster.

Stefan uses Jack’s last name to tell people that he still has a family relationship with Jack Foster and to prevent people from asking about him further.

"You must know that Stefan’s identity was top secret, right?" When she saw him nod, she continued. "If we use company money to set up his temporary office, many eyes will be curious why we built a super advanced computer room in this building," Bella explained.

Leo suddenly understands Bella’s reason. Indeed, a few people in the company, especially in the finance department, will know about him.

"OK, Boss. I understand…"

"Thank you. How about his flight?"

"He already emailed me his flight schedule. He will land tomorrow at 10 a.m..."

"Good," said Bella excitedly because she would be working alongside Stefan again, like before. She really needed him now to help her take care of her personal matters and many other things at Quantum Capital.

Leo asked Bella, "Are you sure you can go to the airport tomorrow? Did your hubby know about it?"
