"Sorry, my friend didn’t agree, so..." Leo shrugged.
Laura’s manager was left speechless. He couldn’t believe someone refusing an autograph from Laura Kiels.
Previously, he refrained from mentioning Laura’s name when approaching people, fearing someone might take a video or picture and share it on social media.
However, after struggling to convince a few individuals, all in vain, he felt he had no other option.
Upon observing these two, who appeared to be ordinary employees and relatively young, he dared to offer them Laura’s signature.
Nevertheless, he hadn’t anticipated their refusal as well.
"You seriously didn’t recognize my talent? Fine! You’ll regret your decision, man... If someday we meet again and you ask, I won’t give you!"
The manager looks at the handsome man sharply before turning to the woman ahead.
When the manager noticed the woman ordering the same coffee that Laura usually drank, a brilliant idea immediately dawned on him.
The manager cleared his throat while smiling warmly at the woman.
"Miss... Hello... Wow! You look so pretty, dear!" The manager greeted Bella cheerfully. Looking at Bella’s striking features, including her flawless face and sharp gray eyes, he was shocked.
He couldn’t help but think that this woman had the potential to be a movie star.
’Should I recruit her to enter Stellar Entertainment?’
An idea to recruit her popped up in his mind. However, a second later, he dismissed the idea. There’s an urgent matter he needs to take care of.
He continued, "Miss, I will pay triple the normal price for your coffee..." His tone sounded urgent, but he didn’t cease to smile at her.
However, Bella only stared at him without expression. He continued again to convince her, "How about four times? No!? Alright... This is my final offer, five times... take it or leave it!"
Leo was rendered speechless, hearing this foolish manager’s words. How dare he challenge Bella’s calmness?
Bella narrowed her eyes at the manager, looking at him from head to toe as if she was starting to remember his face to take revenge.
After a few seconds, she didn’t utter anything but glanced at Leo and gestured to him to take their coffee. Then she walked away, leaving the manager looking at her in annoyance.
’Huh!? Why did she leave just like that? Did she agree or not?’ he mumbled under his breath.
"Miss, wait? How about our deal..." He asked, still trying to be polite while following Bella even though his patience was now as thin as paper.
"Forget it!" Bella said coldly without looking back.
The manager was even more annoyed, and his hot temper arose as if someone was boiling water in his heart.
"Seriously... Who are you? Why are you so arrogant?" The manager shouted.
He was really pissed off that someone was threatening him cruelly like this, ignoring him. It was the first time someone ignored him even after he confessed he was actually Laura Kiel’s manager.
The coffee shop wasn’t too big so all visitors could hear the manager’s conversation with Bella.
They were all surprised to hear the annoying fat man raise his voice as if he had just scolded someone.
Everyone now looked at him with their disdainful gaze. Then they turned to look at Bella and saw her stop before she reached the door.
Instantly, a little chatter could be heard among the coffee shop visitors.
"Wah, look... Look, that woman was about to piss off now."
"That fat man is really annoying. How could he threaten all people like his lowly peasant?"
"I know, right? I would scold him back if I were in that woman’s position!"
All eyes now look at Bella, and before long, someone was taken aback looking at her beauty.
"You know what? This was the first time I saw that woman in this building. And she looks beautiful..." Someone whispered to her friends.
"Me too..."
They couldn’t tear their eyes away from Bella; they looked at her long, wavy black hair hanging down her back. And checked her simple outfit; she wore a black turtleneck and knee-length skirt. A long gray suit hung on her arm, and her bag was hiding under her long suit.
Suddently, they were shocked, looking closely at her bag.
"Oh my god, who is she? This is the first time I saw an employee bring that H brand to the office..." She whispered to her friends.
"Maybe she is not an employee but a guest?"
"Wah, she is so rich... But low profile, look at her shoes. She only wears sneakers."
"Wait, maybe the bag was fake. That’s why she hid it?"
"Yes, we can buy H brand bags at Snake Market; they all look like originals."
.
.
Bella chuckled, hearing all the chatter. Even though they spoke softly, she could still listen to them.
’Gosh, when I don’t want to be exposed, they all challenge my patience!?’ She adjusted her emotions before turning to face this arrogant manager.
"You want to know my name?"
"Yes!" he shouted, annoyed.
The manager had a plan to teach this woman. He would ask Laura to speak to a higher-up and fire this woman. How dare she not spare anything for Laura Kiels? Even though he had already stated, he would pay five times the average price for her coffee.
A faint smile slowly appeared on Bella’s lips before she said, "I’m God!"
Hearing Bella’s answer caused Leo to almost spit out the coffee he had just drunk.
"Puff..."
Not only was Leo surprised, but Laura Kiels’ manager was utterly shocked, too.
He couldn’t believe this woman, shameless enough to call herself God.
This woman was bizarre. How could she randomly say her name was God? He would believe her if she told him she was Goddess.
But God?
Seriously!?
"Are you kidding, right?"
"No."
"The fuck!" The manager couldn’t hold his curses. "Oops... Sorry... Well... Can you tell me your last name?" he continued, trying to believe some crazy parents gave their child a weird name, like God.
"I don’t have a last name. My name is only God..." Bella said while holding her laugh inwardly. She immediately left without giving the man a chance to speak.
"...."
