Destiny of the Substitute Bride
25. Caught.

These past few days have been quite a tough day for Celine, during her time as Noah's secretary. Because there is a man's behavior that makes Celine often hassles. Not to mention his anger which always culminated in every little mistake he made.

Moreover, the anger that Noah showed not only to Celine, but all employees who met him. In fact, the office boy who delivered coffee to the man's room was also affected, just because he forgot to take a spoon from Noah's cup.

"I don't want to know! Throw away these papers and re-create the report correctly. How could you make a mistake like this, Celine!" noah exclaimed furiously at Celine who was now busy picking up a stack of report papers, which she had just finished painstakingly making.

Actually, there is no significant error in the report, only one number and it does not affect the count of the other. Usually Noah also only asks Celine to replace a piece of paper that has errors only. But now he had to replace all the paper.

Celine did not have to type everything from the beginning, because she just printed it again while checking again. However, that was not the main problem for Celine, but rather Noah's anger which for these few days made no sense.

Celine lowered her body while apologizing to Noah once more, before then exiting the room.

After Celine died, Noah leaned his head on the chair, while kneeling his forehead which began to hurt.

Lately there is something that makes his anger peak. There was not a single person who was really good at doing their duty, not least Celine, the secretary. Even his big project has now reached a dead end after a few days ago their company's database system was almost exposed to hacking. Luckily, the company has a team of IT experts who are qualified enough so that it does not happen.

Before long, Celine knocked on the door and entered the room again.

"Where do you want lunch, sir? Do I need to order it like yesterday?" ask Celine politely. The woman remained professional despite having just received no-wear treatment from her superiors.

Noah stood up from his seat. "I'll eat myself," the man replied as he walked out past Celine.

"Good, Sir." Celine bowed briefly to Noah before returning to her seat again.

...**********...

The atmosphere of the first-floor canteen was not too crowded, as Noah set foot there.

"Mr Werner!" screech some employees, when they find their big boss coming there alone. They bowed their bodies to the man.

"Be normal" asked Noah. Although his mood was not good, Noah still tried to return the greetings of the employees. The man also invited a large pregnant female employee to take his queue first.

"Thank you, Mr. Werner," said the woman.

Noah nodded briefly.

Queen, who knew Noah's arrival, was surprised. He came out to the man to ask him what food he wanted to eat.

"No need, just here." Answer Noah flat.

"Ahh, so it seems. All right, please enjoy lunch, sir," Queen said, retreating.

"Thank you for taking my place" Bella whispered to Emma. The girl just returned from the food warehouse.

"Together." Emma smiled back at Bella. Both changed positions.

Bella kindly greeted the employees as she poured the soup into their empty bowls one by one, until then, without Bella noticing, a man who had just stood before her, he looked at the girl with a surprised face.

"Congratulations si—" Bella's hand holding a spoonful of soup suddenly trembled violently, when she realized that Noah was right in front of her.

The man's eyes were staring at Bella. It was as if all his anger was contained there right then and there.

...**********...

"What are you doing in my office!" noah shouted furiously, as soon as Bella set foot in their apartment.

Bella was silent and did not answer. The woman looks better prepared for the fight this time, as she knows, Noah won't stay silent watching her roam the office.

"I just want to work on my own!" bella replied firmly.

"That means you've been lying to me about volunteering at the parlor?" Noah did not lower his voice.

"Yes. I had to do it to meet my daily needs. Not more!"

"I don't care about that, all I care about is, you work at my company!" shouted Noah.

"Only your company is the only one that has a greater chance of accepting me" Bella replied undaunted.

Noah's breath was hunting. "From tomorrow, you don't have to go there anymore. I won't let you come to my office no matter the reason!"

Bella looked at Noah. "What do you fear when I work there? During these six weeks I always tried to work well" he said in self-defense. However, a faint smile suddenly fell on the girl's face when she realized something.

"Ahh, I know ...," he continued. "Look, I won't reveal my identity to anyone, nor will I open my mouth about the Renatha you brought into the office." Bella's words did sound cynical, but swore to see the fragility in those beautiful eyes.

...**********...

The Werner family's magnificent residence looked very quiet, as Viola stepped foot into the kitchen. Understandably, time had already shown at one night, and he had accidentally awakened from his sleep due to thirst.

"Leganya!" exclaimed the girl after downing one glass of cold mineral water. However, just as he was about to return to the room, suddenly his ears accidentally caught something.

"You must immediately silence him, Madam! Otherwise, everything the Madam had done would have been a mess!"

Viola frowned. While hiding behind the stairs, the girl peeked at Martha and Jessica who seemed to be seriously talking about something.

Silencing? Silencing who? muttered Viola in the heart.

"You're right Martha, I have to do something. I won't let that old woman destroy everything I've worked so hard to build!" jessica said cynically. I think that woman just came back from somewhere.

Since Harold's departure a while ago, Jessica is indeed more often out of the house, especially at night. Sometimes, that woman would even go with Martha for a long time.

All this time Viola was reluctant to interfere about the two of them. Precisely the girl and most of the domestic assistants there were happy if both were away, because no one would shout at their work.

However, curiosity suddenly rose to ambush Viola, upon hearing the next conversation.

"You have to help me. We have to make sure the old woman keeps this secret quiet, so I can calm down after my husband to Gargania."

"Okay, Madam."

It seemed, she had to figure out what Jessica and Martha were really hiding.
