My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 73

"Bella, can I enter?" Leo’s voice could be heard behind the door.

"Sure."

Leo looks concerned as he enters the room, stopping before her messy desk with papers and notes.

"Don’t force yourself. It’s almost 2 PM... You should take a break, Boss." He said.

"Yeah, you are right. I feel hungry now; how about going out to eat something?"

"Alright. But you need to meet your personal assistant first. He already waits outside."

"Hmm," she said and tidied her desk before grabbing her bag and following Leo out of her office.

Bella spotted a man standing near the sitting area with a sturdy posture resembling an active soldier’s. His face appeared fierce, but his eyes conveyed calmness and friendliness.

Approaching him, Leo said, "Boss, this is Samuel Brown, a former Astington soldier who retired several years ago. He’s actually the head of the security division at our head office. Still, Jack assigned him here to protect you, and he’s also assigned as your personal assistant who will follow you wherever you go..."

Bella was rendered speechless upon hearing Samuel’s background.

How could someone as capable as him now become her personal assistant, driving her wherever she goes? What was Jack thinking? Why waste Samuel’s talent and usefulness?

She could only vent her frustration internally while making a mental note to call Jack later. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Bella smiled at Samuel, extending her hand for a handshake. "Hello, Mr. Brown. I’m glad you’re back in this country to help me." She said sincerely, feeling grateful this capable man would become her guard.

"Ms. Donovan, yes, I’m grateful to Mr. Foster for assigning me here to assist you, ma’am," Samuel Brown said politely, accepting her handshake. "Ma’am, you can call me casually, Sam."

"Hahaha, alright... I will call you Sam." Bella gestured for him to sit as they discussed his role in assisting her personal needs.

She also wanted to learn about Sam’s other talents besides guarding her, so they chatted briefly about his assignment.

After some time, she remembered his accommodation.

"Did the company provide a place for you to stay?" Bella asked. She didn’t mind offering him a place; she still had her old apartment, and he could stay there if he wished.

"Don’t worry, ma’am. I live in this building," Sam explained. "There’s a studio-size apartment on the rooftop."

"Very well," Bella felt relieved. After discussing a few more things with him, she dismissed Sam and told him to start working on Monday.

Later, she and Leo left the building. They didn’t drive a car but walked.

"Where are we going?" Leo asked as they walked silently for a few minutes. "We better bring a car, Bella..." Leo suggested.

"No need. The restaurant in that building," she pointed to the building a few meters ahead. "There’s a sushi restaurant there. I used to go there when I was still in college."

When they arrived at the restaurant, the staff came to welcome them.
