Chapter 64: Does He Like Her?
Belle brought all the cash and cheques to Echo's office.
"What are you dong?" Echo was still in the shock of that Belle was a straight A student. Belle took out the money from a bag slowly and looked at Echo with an entreating expression on her face," Echo, I don't have a bank acount. Could you take care of these money for me?"
"What?"
Belle explained again to make sure Echo was clear about what she said.
Echo was totally stunned. She looked Belle up and down and she found that she had never figured out the mind of this woman,"You want to keep you money here? Don't you afraid of that I will put these money to my own pocket?" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
People would not ask a woman who had no friendship with to keep the money for them. Especially the woman was even a little bit disliking them.
Belle shook her head. She said with her feeble voice,"Echo, you won't. I'm begging you, please."
Echo stopped breathing for a second. Suddenly she realized that even though the frail woman in front of her always talk about making money and even could do anything to make money, did she really care about money?
"I can keep these for you. Just come to me if you need the money." Echo did not say too much. She knew that perhaps it was big boss asking Belle to make 10 million in a month. That why Belle made money at full split.
" Thank you." Belle appreciated sincerely.
Suddenly Echo felt sorry for Belle. What a poor woman. How long would it take to make 10 million for her?
" How many languages can you speak?" Echo locked the money into a safe and asked randomly. Belle surprised her a lot today.
In Gang City, English was a necessary language for every one. Therefore, it was normal that Belle could speak English. However, Russian was quite unusal. Number of people learning Russian was much less than that of leaning Japanese.
" About... 13 or 14 languages. I have forgotten some languages since I haven't use some of them for a long time."
Echo was so shocked that she nearly fell from her seat. Her eyes and mouth were widly opened," How... How many languages again?"
" Including Chinese, I can speak 14 languages." Belle thought that Echo didn't hear that clear so she said again.
Belle followed Nathan since she was a little girl. She learned what he learned. Education Nathan took was an elite education customized by Luo family. Belle got educated together with Nathan and the efforts she put was much more than people thought.
Damn!
This must be the best explaination of that 'when the God close a door for you, a window would be left open'.
Replenishing lacking of face score with knowledge!
This was more than a straight A student. She was the Godness of study!!
There were only five official language in the UN. Plus Arabic, there were only six languages for working. Belle was so young but she had mastered in 14 languages... A door of a new world opened in front of Echo.
"You..." Echo could not collect her mind and didn't know what to say. How could a person knowing all those language come to this club and do a job of bathroom cleaner? More than that, she was even forced to be a service lady by the big boss...
Echo suddenly felt that the club was such a high class place.
However, Echo felt very confused. She asked,"How did you offend big boss?"
The big boss she said was Ethan.
Belle was stunned for a second and she did not know how to explain.
Echo thought that Belle did not want to talk about that so she waved her hand telling Belle to ignore that.
"Because... I caused his child die. And his girlfriend..." Belle took a breath out and looked to outside the window with her empty eyes.
"What?" Echo was shocked again. Belle seemed not lying. The expression on Echo's face was a little changed,"You killed people?"
"Similar. His girlfriend is still alive but lying in hopital. The child was dead."
Echo was so startled. after a while she said,"But you are not seemed to be that kind of person."
Belle's face became pale. A smile that was worse than crying showed on her face,"Maybe, who knows?"
The man she loved, her family, close friends... They were all sure that Belle was the murderer. They were all firm that Belle hurt May. No one listened Belle explaining and no one believed her...
Why? Why Echo who just met Belle short time ago could know her better than anyone?
Echo had met a lot of people in her career. She had learnt the insight skill of see through people clearly. In her view, Belle was smart but she was not scheming at all. All her minds would show on her face and she was a straight talker. Such a innocent girl... How could she hurt anyone?
"Is big boss not believing you, either?"
"Hahaha..." Suddenly Belle raised her head and laughed loud. Echo was frightened by the laugh. Belle covered her mouth with her hand but she could not stop laughing. Even tears came out since she laughed so hard.
Believe?
In this life, she was not dared to ask anyone to believe. That was an extravagant hope. She used to think that time could prove that she was innocent. Maybe one day he would believe her. He would understand her and she hoped that he could understand how much misunderstanding he had on her.
However, Belle knew that when he tell her to disappear from May's wardroom, those were extravagant hopes. All her hopes were just bubbles.
Even a deep desperation could not describe her mood... Extremly silly, she cursed herself. Why would she still have hopes on him? Why would she still think that he would believe her?
Belle, just admit how silly you are. You loved a wrong man and believed a wrong man. In this life, you could only live in a menial life.
Ethan would not believe her and she, after all those desperations, was not hoping anymore.
Absurd tears of desperation floated backward as she raised her head. Echo got close to her looking at her expression of enduring pain. She felt the bitter taste, too," Cry out if you need. Maybe you would feel better."
Belle shook her head and shook off tears. She was not a tough person. She could feel the pain and she would cry, too. But she did not want others to share the pain.
Echo looked at Belle who was pretending to be tough. She did not know how to comfort her,"You should talk to Mr. Mo and ask him to investigate clearly. I know the feeling of being misunderstand by others. It seems that you like Mr. Mo a lot, don't you?"
Belle just shook her head but not saying anything. A few bloody wounds show on her dry lips after she bit. After a long while, Echo heard her hoase voice,"Echo, it won't work. I'm tired..."
Yes, she was really tired.
"Are you going to keep him misunderstanding then?" Echo looked at Belle,"You are very smart. You must have a way to prove yourselt. Even I could tell that you would not hurt anybody. Since you like Mr. Mo so much and it seems that Mr. Mo is not completely feelingless on you, you may..."
Belle interrupted her before she finished her words.
"Ha! Feeling?" Belle pushed aside her hair covering her forehead and pointed her own face then her right leg. Her voice contained a bleakness,"Echo, this, this and this... They are all gifts from him. What do you think now? Do you still think that he has any feeling on me?"
