23 Orphanage or Foster Home? (1/2)

*WARNING: Chapter contains sensitive topics.*

A light knock on her door pulls Su Lian out of her daydream.

”Come in.”

Bella enters with a stack of files and she places them neatly on her desk.

”This is all the summarized information and company losses resulting from the former president, Jim Silva's corruption scandal for you to revise.”

”You also have your first meeting with the high ranking managers and employees of Infinity Corp China in an hour.”

”Would you like me to start on the Perfume endorsement?”

”No. You'll be going with me to the meeting. Ryan can't come because I assigned him to another task.”

Bella nodded her head stiffly. What she hated most was human interaction. Apart from Ryan and her boss, she speaks to no one else.

Su Lian feels bad for her. Bella has worked under her as a secretary for six months, and she has noticed that she isn't comfortable around people.It's like she built a wall around herself that isolates her from everyone else.

She shows no emotions and never complains about any task Su Lian gives her. Although being subservient is normal in an employee-boss relationship, Bella's submission and lack of a social life seems alarming.

During the background checks on her close and frequently used workers, Su Lian found out that Bella is an orphan. She had grown up in foster care since she was three, moving from home to home.
