Rather than reprimanding Louie for not being honest, Bella, on the contrary, said a ambiguous sentence. This gave Louie more courage, and he didn't let go of his right hand. Instead, he added a bit of force. Although Bella pushed him, she didn't manage to break free until she exerted a lot of effort to twist her waist.
Louie smiled and paid for the cigarettes with his credit card. At this moment, Bella briskly walked towards the exit, afraid of being embraced by Louie again. At this moment, her complex feelings were only understood by herself. Louie followed behind Bella, watching her swaying buttocks, and a trace of embarrassment arose.
Suddenly, Bella seemed to sense Louie looking at her buttocks from behind. She turned around abruptly, facing Louie, who was following her casually. "Manager, what are you doing? Hurry up," she said.
Only then did Louie take a few quick steps and catch up with Bella. The two walked side by side out of the central mall.
When they reached Bella's apartment building, it was already 5:30. Louie parked the car at the entrance, opened the door, and was about to accompany Bella upstairs. At this moment, a young man of similar age to Bella was coming down from the building, holding two empty beer bottles.
"Bella, just off work," the young man greeted Bella warmly, his face full of smiles.
"Brian, yes, where are you going?" Bella, seeing this young man, also put on a smiling face, completely different from her attitude towards Louie.
"I'm going to buy two bottles of beer to drink," the young man said, glancing at Louie standing beside Bella. There was a hint of hostility in his eyes as he asked, "Bella, who is this?"
"My colleague," Bella smiled. "He escorted me home last time, and today, I invited him to my house for dinner to thank him. Brian, I won't chat with you now; my dad and mom are waiting for me. We'll talk when I have time." Saying that, Bella showed a sweet smile to the young man and walked into the building.
The young man looked at Louie following Bella into the building, his eyes revealing a displeased expression.
"Bella, who is that handsome guy? He looks so cool. I really didn't expect him to have such a slim figure. You can't compare with him at all," Louie teased as he climbed the stairs behind Bella, intentionally using a reversed description to depict the young man as overweight and not handsome.
Hearing Louie's words, Bella suddenly stopped. Louie, who was climbing the stairs behind her, didn't expect Bella to stop, and he bumped into Bella's raised buttocks. Bella, who stopped abruptly, asked in annoyance, "What are you doing?"
Louie, with a face full of grievances, replied, "You stopped suddenly; it's none of my business. I haven't even asked you why you stopped."
"Because you were insulting my brother. How could I not be angry?" Bella turned around, not in a good mood. "Who gave you the right to talk about my brother?"
"Your brother? You never mentioned him before," Louie said.
"Why should I tell you? Huh, do you really think I'm something to you? Why should I tell you everything about me?" Bella's face was tense, looking genuinely angry. Louie, seeing Bella like this, felt a bit uncomfortable. He thought, "Who did I offend? Was it worth it? It's just a question; is it worth getting her so angry?" Bella seemed genuinely angry this time. Louie suddenly felt a little displeased. He handed the cigarettes to Bella, pursed his lips, and said, "What's the use of getting angry? Fine, I think it's my fault again, making you unhappy. Can I leave now?" Saying that, Louie turned around and walked downstairs.
"Stop right there." Bella, seeing that Louie seemed really angry this time, shouted from behind him. However, Louie ignored her and quickly descended a floor.
Confirming that Louie was really angry this time, Bella hurriedly descended the stairs to catch up.
