Punishment
She remained calm and composed as she said, "Jack, we are best friends. But for business, that's a different story."
"I understand, Bella—" Jack said faintly.
"What I want is simple. I have two choices for you..." Bella paused to take a deep breath. She appears to feel bad for stating her punishment, but inwardly, she struggles to hold on to her laughter.
Bella never imagined that acting like this would be so exhausting.
She now admires actors and actresses for their ability to portray various emotions and roles perfectly in movies and dramas.
While her? She acted for only a few minutes, and her energy was almost drained.
"Please tell me what your decision is..." Jack said calmly.
However, Bella noticed that Jack held back his laughter and urged her to speak quickly; otherwise, they would be caught.
Bella shifted her gaze to Andreas. She saw him still lowering his head, lost in thought about his fate.
