Chapter 753 Don'T Flatter Yourself
Chapter 753 Don't flatter yourself
So last night she made up her mind that today she would find an opportunity to apologize to Donald in
person.
Bella grinned at the thought.
"Donald, I'm here to talk to you, not Mr. Bissel."
Donald froze.
He was a little surprised.
"Me?"
"Yeah, yeah." As Bella spoke, she unconsciously linked her arm through his. However, Donald averted
it cleverly.
Donald stepped back and bent slightly. "Miss Collins, I'm a servant and you are a guest. Please don't
put me on the spot."
Bella's hands froze in the air.
At first, she thought that he was old and wanted to treat him as she had treated her grandparents.
She wanted to be nice and friendly to him by getting closer.
In her opinion, a man of Donald's rank would already be married, and his grandchildren would probably
be her age. In doing so, maybe Donald would forgive she showed enough kindness.
She didn't expect him to refuse her help - she was trying to help him down the stairs so she reached
out to his arm.
Although he looked hale and hearty, he was nearly seventy years old. God knew if he might fall down
the stairs.
However, his reaction dismayed her.
She couldn't comprehend his attitude, because he was wary of her like a virus.
Did he despise her or fear that she had bad intentions?
He must be going soft in the head!
Even if she failed to get Felix's favor, she was not going to hook up with an old man!
She wondered why he flattered himself and put on such an air of dignity.
Bella, not daring to show her rage otherwise, forced a smile.
"Donald, don't get me wrong. I was just trying to help you downstairs."
Though she smiled, there was a flicker of malice in her eyes.
"You freaking old man! How dare you look down upon me."
"We'll see." she thought to herself.
Her words were a deliberate attempt to embarrass Donald.
Implicit in her words was that compared to Donald, she was more open-minded and aboveboard.
To her surprise, Donald nodded to her and said, "Miss Collins, I appreciate your kindness. But having
lived here for decades, I already know every step like the back of my hand. So don't bother!"
"Instead, you are a guest here. So don't wander around if you don't have to."
"After all, you come from a good family, so you should watch your manner so as not to bring disgrace
on your family."
The smile on Bella's face disappeared when she heard his words.
Although his manners were decent, his tone was tinged with irony.
She knew he meant that as a guest she'd better not poke her nose into other people's business and
wander around.
However, why would she be here if it wasn't to apologize to him? Didn't she suffer enough humiliation
in front of Felix yesterday?
What an unreasonable person!
Rage consumed Bella.
However, there was nothing she could do about it now.
Finally, she gave a snort of disgust.
"I see. I just came to apologize to you. Now that we're good, I should go."
Then she left.
Donald watched her leave with a stony face.
After she left the building, Donald shook his head and sighed deeply.
Bella Collins... is so...
She was not stupid, because she knew she should apologize for her mistakes;
she knew Felix was her life-saving straw, and she would beg him to let her stay.
However, she was not smart enough.
After all, Donald was sophisticated and he had seen much of the world.
But he had never seen such an apology full of haughty disdain before.
He couldn't help laughing at the thought.
But when he thought about her story, it all made sense to him.
She was nothing but a spoiled lady who liked to play petty tricks.
She had been spoiled by everyone around her ever since she was a little kid.
She was always too proud to say sorry even though she indeed did something wrong.
If she did apologize, it wasn't from the heart. She had always been arrogant, selfish, and unreasonable.
Donald had been everywhere, and he would never make a fuss about the trifles with her.
So he just sighed and was ready to leave.
Just then the door of the study behind him opened.
He paused. He turned and saw Felix standing there.novelbin
Felix was a tall man, about 5 feet 6 inches. He was wearing a black shirt and trousers. His manly figure
was enriched by his regular features.
Donald's eyes met Felix's icy gaze and a deep frown.
"Mr. Bissel."
Felix looked at him.
Then he cast his eyes to the entrance of the stairs. "Who was there just now?"
Donald's face changed at Felix's words.
He thought Bella's noise had disturbed Felix.
So he said, "It was Miss Collins. She said she came to apologize for having offended me yesterday."
Felix frowned faintly.
The thought of her filled him with disgust and contempt.
However, he just said, "don't let her in without my permission."
"Got it."
"And tell her, if she wants to stay here, she'd better behave herself. Or she might regret it!"
