We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Meanwhile, Bella, dragging her weary body, went to the office.
Originally, Elisa’s intention was for Bella to rest well at home first.
However, every time Bella closed her eyes, all she could see was Rachel lying lifelessly in the hospital bed, hooked up to a
respirator. Either that or she would see Elisa overwhelmed with grief. As a result, Bella couldn’t sleep.
Just then, her subordinate called to report an issue at the company. Apparently, one of the subsidiary companies had defaulted
on their project payments. They hadn’t settled their dues with the workers and had simply vanished.
Wage arrears were a serious issue.
Bella didn’t even have time to catch her breath at home and went straight to the company.
The company entrance was swarmed by the media, all vying to get ahead of each other. They were so eager to rush into the
building and interview the person in charge that they would even risk getting trampled.
After all, for such a high-end company, the occurrence of that kind of accident was a very serious matter.
Even though it was just a subsidiary company, oftentimes, it was the reputation of the parent company that was at stake.
To give a simple example, the parent company was like a classroom, and the subsidiaries were the students. within it.
Outside, students represented the image of their class.
Thus, when a student made a mistake outside, the first thing people thought of was that there was a problem with the class, not
the individual.
The same could be applied to Benett Corporation. Those who were popular were more likely to be targeted, and Benett
Corporation was a prominent company. No trouble had arisen when Elisa was in charge.
Even though Elisa had just stepped away, there were already people eager to stir up trouble. It was truly infuriating.
If the situation was mishandled even slightly, not only would the brand image plummet drastically, but it could also directly impact
the company’s stock price.
If that happened, the company would be in a precarious situation.

Bella had no prior experience dealing with such matters, but she was determined to handle the situation. well.
She had to.
Otherwise, a slight mistake on her part could lead to irreversible consequences.
Bella’s car pulled up at the entrance of the building, attracting a swarm of reporters like bees to honey.
“Ms. Wickam, what is your view on this issue of wage arrears for migrant workers?”
“I heard that Ms. Benett is in the hospital. Is she genuinely unwell or just feigning illness to avoid this incident?”
“Ms. Wickam, in regards to this matter, does your company bear any responsibility for inadequate supervision? How do you plan
to address this?”
Those journalists not only spoke sharply but also unpleasantly.
The microphones were practically being thrust into Bella’s mouth, and cameras were almost shoved in her face to capture every
moment.
Security quickly came over to maintain order, and Bella struggled to walk through the human walls formed by the security
guards.
Just when she was about to break through the crowd and enter the company, a pair of giant hands, slightly calloused, grasped
hers.
Bella lifted her gaze and saw Mike.
Mike wore a neutral expression, though the slight downturn of his lips indicated that he probably wasn’t in the best of moods.
Still, he pulled Bella out of the encirclement.
As they started to run, the wind hit their faces, blowing strands of hair. As Bella stared at Mike’s figure, she experienced a
peculiar emotion for the first time.
After much difficulty, the duo finally escaped. The gate was tightly shut, and the last bit of noise was isolated.
Only then was Bella able to look directly at Mike.

However, before she could speak, Mike beat her to it.
He knitted his eyebrows, likely angry, and his tone was far from pleasant. “Why did you come? Don’t you know it’s dangerous
right now?”
