Life at The Top
Chapter 2139

"Hey, Bentley. Wendy is back in Nauritus City, and she gave me a job today. But it's the same job I did abroad, and I suspect she may have found out something about me..." May's tone sounded a little urgent, but after she said that, there was no reply from the other end of the phone.

After a while, a slightly hoarse man's voice snarled, "You good-for-nothing! Miss Bella trusts you, so she entrusted you with such an important task. However, you've exposed yourself so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, May's face turned ashen, and she quickly pleaded, "Bentley, you're a little irresponsible for saying that. I already said that this domestic mission is probably not suitable for me, but you insisted I take it. Now that Wendy is suspicious of me, you can't just sit back and turn a blind eye!"

From what May knew of Bella, Bella would definitely not let her live anymore if she failed this mission. When she thought of this, she immediately panicked. Right now, she could only ask Bentley for help. If even Bentley was not willing to lend a helping hand, then she could only stay in Nauritus City and be resigned to her fate.

Fortunately, after a while, Bentley, finally spoke on the other end of the phone, "Why are you so anxious? Jasper and Wendy didn't do anything yet, right? They just arranged a job for you. Don't make a fuss. It might just be a coincidence." May felt that this was not as simple as that. However, Bentley interrupted when she wanted to say something.

"Alright, just stay by Dawson's side. Miss Bella has more important tasks for you soon. Once you have done it, you will definitely get a lot of benefits when you return to the United States in the future."

After speaking, Bentley hung up the phone directly.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Bentley..." May cried into the phone a few times. When there was no response, she had no choice but to put away the phone.

After taking a deep breath, she calmed down a little, and continued to return to work, pretending nothing had happened.

On the other side, after Jasper returned from the car factory, he ran into Celine in the hotel, who was about to leave. Then, he remembered what Anna had told him before, so he stopped Celine. "Miss Maynard, wait a minute. Where are you going?"

After hearing Jasper's voice, Celine stopped and turned to look at him. "My friend and I are going shopping in Nine Dragon Town today. Why? Do you need anything? If you want me to accompany you today, I can tell my friend I won't be going."

What Celine said sounded very amorous, and Jasper was a little embarrassed. So, he quickly explained, "No... I didn't mean that. Old Master Law's birthday is tomorrow night. I received an invitation letter, and the Laws invited you to attend tomorrow as well. Do you have time?"

Celine nodded after hearing that. "I do. It just so happens that I am not so busy in Harbor City this time, so I will go with you tomorrow. There's still a little time today. I'm going to pick a gift for Old Master Law."

Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed. "Say, what gift should I give him?"

Upon hearing this, Jasper pondered in his heart. Although it did not matter what gifts were given at a banquet like this and what mattered more was the person's attendance, there would be so many celebrities and upper-class people attending after all, and it would be a little inappropriate if the gift was not presentable.

Jasper thought for a while and said, "There are a few antique shops in Harbor City. If you have time today, I'll go pick a few decent antiques with you."

When Celine heard that, she nodded quickly. "Alright, we can do that I'll tell my friend now, and you'll go with me later."

As she said that, she took out her phone to call her friend. She said, "Hello, Carrie. You should go by yourself today. I can't make it."

After she said that, she hung up and strutted to Jasper. Then, she grinned, "This afternoon belongs to just you and me."

Jasper was between laughter and tears. He could not stop himself from saying, "Miss Maynard, can you not be so amorous when you speak? Those who don't know might misunderstand..."

Celine pouted disapprovingly when she heard that. "From what I know, your fiancée Wendy has gone back to Nauritus City, and now, you're free in Harbor City... No one will be able to control you even if you find a woman and sleep with, let alone be amorous with me, don't you think so?"
