Chapter 144

The Japanese food on the table looked scrumptious, but neither Christian nor Bella had the appetite to enjoy such a delicacy.

The corner of Christian’s lips curved up, but there was not a hint of joy in his eyes. “I’m afraid I can only apologize. Daisy is one of the employees in my Delta Club. I’m not going to hand over an employee to become the partner of an old man almost on his deathbed.”

A shocked Bella froze in horror but still maintained the slight smile on her face. “What if I take Daisy with me and still don’t agree to treat Victoria’s legs?
