Chapter 31
Bella’s POV
Herbert appeared at the banquet, but there was no Intersection between Us, just like two strangers
But I don’t mind
I found a quiet corner to enjoy mysell
In other words, it wos better to enjoy the delicious food than to get others’ attention.
I saw Emma in the crowd
She wore a very exaggerated dress today She wore a golden dress with her back exposed, which almost
exposed her buttocks. Although she was vulgar, she still attracted a lot of people’s attention
At the end of the meal, the host began the garne “Everyone, our first game today is to carry balloons
One of the two boxes has a card with the names of the ladies present, and the other one has a card with
the names of the men present. I choose five men and five wornen randomly If you’re picked, sland on the
stage!” The host stood in front of two transparent boxes full of cards and said
The competition of carrying balloons was between a man and a woman in a group Neither of them could
use their hands nor let the balloons fall to the ground. The two of them would use their bodies to carry
the balloons from the starting point to the finish point, and the group with the most balloons would win
This game was a test of their coordinations. Of course, it was mainly about creating an ambiguous
relationship between men and women to make fun of each other. Therefore, the atmosphere at the
ene was very active All the men were looking forward to being selected
There were four pairs of men and women standing on the slage soon. I thought that this small probability
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad nothing to do with me After all, it was very unlikely for me to win five out of a hundred female
employees. But it was such a coincidence that the last one was me!
*The fifth lady is.. Bella!” The host shouted on the stage
I stepped onto the slage in a daze.
The host continued. “Now I’m going to select the last man…”
At this time, the host raised the microphone in his hand and said in an emotional tone, “Everyone, our
Boss, Mr Wharton, is also participating in this game, so the partner of the fifth lady is our Mr. Wharton
Now, welcome Mr Wharton!”
Standing on the stage. I saw Herbert, who was stepping on the stage, and stunned, “lam actually in the
same team as him? God, why do I feel that my heart is bealing so last?”
Herbert quickly stood beside me. Just as the staff was preparing the balloon, I suddenly heard his deep
voice “Dont be nervous. Let’s take the first place.”
In the blink of an eye. I saw no expression on his face, but his eyes were gentle, not as cold as before I
haven’t seen him for a few days, but his character has changed? Why is he suddenly sa
The next moment from the corner of my eye. I suddenly saw a sharp gaze in the crowd staring at me The
gaze was different from ordinary envy, jealousy, and hatred, but it was a kind of resentlul
light
That was the gaze of Emma
That kind of expression was as if she couldn’t pull me off the stage. Her fierce look was as if i had eaten
the meat in her bowl.
The angrier that woman was, the happier I was.
I pretended to be very happy
Sure enough, Emma’s face was distorted.
Looking at her angry face, I found it funny.
Soon, the game began!
In the beginning. I was in the front, and Herbert was in the back. The balloon was stuck between my butt
and Herbert’s lower abdomen. This action aroused everyone’s laughter.
But it was too slow. Later, we changed our strategy. We faced each other, and the balloon was stuck
between our abdomen. We held hands and kept the same steps and movements.
His big hands were really warm. My hands were wrapped in his big hands, and my face and his face
almost touched
At this moment. I suddenly felt that a deer was constantly hitting my heart, and my face turned red. I
didn’t dare to look up into his eyes. His warm breath had sprayed on my face, making me feel itchy Just
when I was distracted for a moment, the balloon fell down a little bit.
This made me afraid to continue thinking about other things.
There were constant cheers in my ears. The last pair would be punished. He must not lose!
We cooperated well. Although we were not the first, we were still in the second position. I thought we
didn’t need 10 worry about it, but something unexpected happened
“Ah…” I accidentally sprained my ankle and sat on the ground in an indecent posture.
There was an uproar over the scene. I was so embarrassed that my face turned red. Why did I want to
wear this pair of three-inch high heels today?
At this time, a pair of strong arms helped me up. I looked up and happened to see the handsome face of
Herbert
“How is it?” He frowned, as if he was worried about me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m fine” I shook my head.
His expression softened.
The competition was about to end We were the last I took his arm and said anxiously, “We‘re the last one
Let’s continue” Herbert shook his head and made a gesture to the host, indicating that he should give up
the competition
“Why should I give up?” I asked discontentedly. I didn’t want to be punished, although I didnt know
what punishment was
Herbert suddenly put his arm around my shoulder. I heard him say. “Don’t be stubborn Don’t forget the
baby in your belly”
Hearing this, I had to accept my fate
Fortunately, I didn’t hurt the baby just now I just had one thought in my mind, which was that! couldn’t
lose the game I forgot the fact that I was pregnant As soon as the bell rong, the game was over. The
couple who won the first place were rewarded with the latest version of the smart phone, I stood there
and thought, “Could it be that the last one wants to pay for the two mobile phones? Oh my god! That’s
the latest one!” Alihis time, the host finally spoke. “Everyone, I now announce that the last punishment of
this game is pouring a bucket of ice water!”
Although it was spring now. I would catch a cold if I was poured ice water
“Are you ready?” After the host shouted, someone immediately came up with a large bucket of ice water,
and a staff member put a chair in front of me and Herbert.
There are so many ice cubes. If all of them fall on me, what will happen to the baby if I fall 17 While I was
thinking about how to refuse, Herbert was already standing in front of me.
