Chapter 45 Asked for Leave

Levi Song thought that she was determined to stay in the underground city club for the sake of Ethan Mo. If that was not the case, she probably stayed for him, but if it was not because of him, then… There were many things that he, an outsider, didn’t know. Belle Ye was very unlikely to mention anything to him. After all, they only met once when they were young. Now that they were all grown-ups, Belle Ye almost forgotten this man. “Mr. Song, thank you so much for helping me today. In the future, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely repay you.” she said both politely and seriously. It seemed that this was the real her. But, she was implicitly rejecting his kind gesture. Levi Song knew that this time she really didn’t want to go. Whether it was for Ethan Mo or someone else, she didn’t want to go. “Do you love Ethan?” he asked. Love? Belle Ye was shocked. How could he conclude that she was in love with the devil? “No. I have nothing to do with him, Mr. Song. You think too much.” she forced her stiff lips to smile. It came out bitter and fat-fetched, but her tone was serious. Love was the most beautiful word in the world, but sometime, it changed people into a bad individual. If one loved too much and too deep, one wouldn’t be able to bear it. About Ethan Mo, she might have loved him in the past, but now all that left was only hatred. Levi Song stopped asking. He was just her brother’s classmate. He didn’t have the right to interfere or meddle with her secrets even if he was curious. “You’re still injured. You can stay here for a few days. I booked the room.” the atmosphere was stiff. Levi Song was not much of a talker. He could say that sentence after racking his brain. Belle Ye was quiet, then she asked him a favor. “Okay, but can I borrow your phone? I need to ask for leave.” she didn’t want to go back to the club with fresh wounds on her body. Her face too was bruised. Levi Song took his phone and handed it to her. The phone’s casing was pure black in color and the design was smooth. It was the most popular business phone nowadays. He didn’t stay to eavesdrop. So, he quietly went out to give her some space. She dialed Echo Xu’s number. After the call was connected, she heard an outburst, “Belle, where the hell have you been? Do you know that we’ve been looking for you everywhere? If you’re okay, come back quickly. If you don’t come back, I’m afraid something bad will happen to you.” She hadn’t say a word, but Echo Xu snapped already. “Sister Xu, are you looking for me?” “Cut the crap! What are you thinking? I told you before, I will arrange your work, other than that, you are not allowed to take a job outside. Who ask you to come with Lewis Qiu? where are you now? Come back in ten minutes!” Echo Xu was gasping for air. She was agitated and frightened at the same time. In the office, there was Barry Mo who was listening to her all along. “What?! Do you want to take time off?” Echo Xu asked in a loud voice. She glanced at Barry Mo and took her eyesight back, “I don’t allow you to take time off. You should get back immediately.” “Sister Xu, two days. I will go back after two days.” She was writhing with pain. What could she do if she came back now? She was still injured. If those men humiliated her again, she would really die this time. When she was facing a desperate situation, she couldn’t get rid of dying from her mind. However, whenever there was a small chance of survival, she felt that she could still live after enduring the misery. If she died so easily, how could she live up to those people who dies because of her? Belle Ye stopped explaining her situation. She pressed the off key to hang up the call. Echo Xu was furious. She stared at her phone while cursing at Belle Ye, “Barry, you see, she doesn’t want to come back. I already ask her to come back.” His eyes were cold, “If she doesn’t come back, you can leave the underground city club.” Echo Xu was scared. She tried to explain, “What can I do? If she doesn’t come back, how am I supposed to keep my eyes on her? Even if I can, I don’t know where is now. You sent someone to Lewis Qiu’s villa, but you couldn’t find her there. Lewis Qiu passed out of alcohol. You could ask anyone about her whereabouts. Now, she’s taking two days off. Should I go to the police to file a missing person?” “Well, you can explain this to boss.” Echo Xu reached his arm. Her charming face was troubled, “Barry, you should help me, President Mo—” Barry Mo pulled his arms away from her, ‘You wish.” “You little shit! How can you be the same as boss? You’re really annoying!” Echo Xu’s face changed faster than a flipping book. She glared at him as he left. She couldn’t help stomping her feet and get discouraged. After Barry Mo went out, he immediately located Belle Ye’s number. At the same time, Ethan Mo who was away in London called him. “Where is she?” Ethan Mo asked. Through his phone, Barry Mo could feel the coldness. He shuddered. “She just called Echo Xu saying that she wanted to take time off. She should be fine.” Barry Mo reported according to the facts. Why did she ask for leave? Across the distant ocean, Ethan Mo was flaming with anger, “Find her! Find her right away and lock her up! Send her updates to me!” “Yes, Sir.” Barry Mo replied. After hanging up the phone, Ethan Mo couldn’t stop walking back and forth in the living room. His eyes were gloomy, but fierce. His secretary was frightened by his appearance. His secretary stood by the door, afraid to approach. Ethan Mo was utterly confused. He learned from Barry Mo that Belle Ye was taken away by Lewis Qiu. Now, he couldn’t calm down. Even for a moment, he had the urge to buy a plane ticket to fly back immediately, but there were too many important things to do here. His company’s overseas development cooperation’s meeting were of top priority. He couldn’t back down and fly back for a woman. After that, Echo Xu received a phone call from Ethan Mo. he learned that Echo Xu didn’t feed Belle Ye to Lewis Qiu. He learned that she volunteered. He was so angry that he started to smash things in his office to pieces. The large office could conceal the noise from inside. No passerby dared to approach. “President Mo, good afternoon—” the secretary stood trembling at the door. The secretary didn’t know whether he should inform him about the upcoming meeting or not. “Get out!” “Yes, Sir. I will get out right away.” the secretary was so scared. He was about to leave when Ethan Mo stopped him, “President Mo, what is it?” “Book a ticket home right away! I need it right away!” he ordered coldly. The secretary was shocked. He already arranged today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow’s schedule. He lost his time to rest because of that. What happened with boss? Why did he suddenly want to return home? “President Mo, there is no ticket for this afternoon.” “If there is no ticket then arrange a private jet! I will give you one more chance. If you fail, you can leave the company!” he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with his secretary. Now, his mind was a mess. He could only think of that woman.
