Chapter 23 Be Grateful
Belinda was a little displeased, but she could not lose her temper for the receptionist's polite attitude. After all, she was just doing
her job.
"Well, I don't have an appointment. My name is Belinda Qin. Please tell him that I'm here." As Belinda finished her words, she sat
down in the resting area of the hall.
The building was bright and spacious. Belinda sat down quietly, watching the receptionist making a call.
After a while, people around became restless as they saw Arvin in fancy elegant suit, coming out of the special elevator for the
CEO and walking towards Belinda.
The whole floor was shocked. They fixed their eyes on Arvin with admiration. They couldn't help but become more curious about
Belinda.
"Well, did I bother you?" She felt uneasy as Arvin behaved in such a noticeable way, as if a king met his queen.
"Come on!" Then Arvin grabbed Belinda's hand and took her to the elevator.
"Oh my God! Who is this woman? Our CEO should invite her in person. "
"Is she boss' girlfriend?"
"Nonsense. She looks so ordinary. How could she be CEO's girlfriend? Lily is CEO's girlfriend! Haven't you seen the
entertainment news? "
The employees downstairs were gossiping.
In the elevator, Arvin stood in front of her in silence. Belinda was a little uneasy. She felt awkward to be with him alone in such a
quiet place.
"Well, have you heard about that? It hasn't been peaceful recently. Ellie told me that an official's son was beaten up and forced to
go abroad! "
Looking at Arvin's expressionless face, Belinda didn't know what to say to arouse his interest. After all, they seldom spent time
together.
"Yes." Arvin answered lightly.
"Ellie told me to be careful." His calm reaction made Belinda feel like she had punched a stone. She looked embarrassed.
"Yes."
Belinda was a little speechless. She didn't know the elevator was going up until she saw the number on the screen kept
changing. "But don't you think that the man who beat him is going too far? It was said that the man was beaten beyond
recognition and that his teeth were even broken! And he was forced to go abroad. He couldn't stay in this city anymore! "
Belinda said agitatedly, trying to arouse any reaction from Arvin.
Hearing this, Arvin turned around slowly and looked at her with deep eyes, "So what?"
He asked tentatively.
"I don't know specifically what happened, the one who beat people like this must be violent, crazy, and narrow-minded! What do
you think? "
Belinda searched for exaggerated words in her mind and spoke out all of them to Arvin. She looked forward to his opinion and
waited for comments.
Arvin's stiff face twitched slightly. Belinda gazed at him with all her attention expecting his response. Finally, he opened his
mouth, "Do you really want to know?"
He said in a calm tone and looked at her. It seemed that he was looking at an idiot.
"Of course! Do you also think so? "
Belinda smiled awkwardly. She didn't know why she felt a little guilty in Arvin's eyes. She was trying to dispel the embarrassment
with a hollow smile.
"It's me!" Arvin looked at her in the eyes and said carelessly.
"What?" She yelled out as if she didn't hear it clearly. At that moment, Arvin opened the door and walked out of the elevator first.
Belinda was in a trance and didn't respond for a moment. What did he just say? Who hit him?
Wasn't she speaking ill of him in front of him just now? Belinda's brain went blank for a moment. But Arvin, who had taken a few
steps away, realized that she didn't follow, so he had to turn around, saying
"Why don't you get off? The elevator is going to close! " As soon as he finished saying that, he turned around. An unnoticeable
light smile played at the corners of his mouth.
Belinda was suddenly enlightened. She blocked the closing elevator with her hands and walked down dejectedly.
She was totally embarrassed this time!
Arvin's office was on the top floor of the building. It has top-notch interior design and lighting. As soon as Belinda entered the
office, she felt suddenly enlightened.
Looking at the luxurious decorations and the first-class sofa, Belinda finally understood why Arvin was willing to stay in the office
and unwilling to go home!
With such a high-end enjoyment, she would have no complaint even in her job!
"Capitalist life!" Belinda couldn't help but sigh. She looked at the man in front of her with some jealousy in her eyes.
"What?" Hearing her jealous words, Arvin turned around and looked at her deeply.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just telling you, comfortable life!" Belinda immediately corrected her words and watched her tongue.
Arvin turned around and pointed at the sofa, saying, "You can sit there" He sat on the CEO's chair, feeling at ease. His eyes
looked at Belinda, full of curiosity.
"What do you want from me?"
"Oh, I came here to thank you for saving me," she said, coming back to her senses.
Belinda said gently. Although they were husband and wife, it was just a marriage in name. Frankly speaking, he wasn't obliged to
save her. Belinda nodded to him politely.
"Just for this?" Arvin responded calmly. He thought she might have something important to tell him.
"Oh, by the way, thanks for asking Sophie to send breakfast to the bedroom!" Hearing his suspicious tone, Belinda thought for a
moment and answered in a hurry. These two things were the only merits that Arvin had done to her since she married him.
"Anything else?" But Arvin didn't care about it. He thought Belinda seemed to have forgotten something important.
Looking at his determined eyes, Belinda began to question her memories. She tried to search for what had happened last night
in her mind. But Besides these things, it seemed he hadn't done anything else for her to be thankful.
Belinda looked at Arvin in confusion. But he was so serious that it didn't seem like he was fooling her.
"Oh, I remember!" That must be the reason why he wanted me to thank him.
Belinda suddenly clapped her head, her face full of excitement. Arvin put down his crossed hands and looked at her seriously,
"What do you remember?"
