On her way, she spotted a few staff working on that floor and saw Samuel Brown, her personal assistant, already busy at his desk in front of her office.
She stopped before Sam’s desk, making Leo almost hit her back.
"Oops, sorry, Boss..." Leo said while taking two steps back from her. Bella only gave him a slight nod and turned to see Samuel again.
"Sam, follow me inside. There’s something I need you to do..." She said and then turned to Leo.
"And, Leo... Could you bring me everything about Stellar Entertainment? The report you gave me is not detailed enough. I want all reports, starting from when the company was established here. And, please... don’t tell Jack about this yet!
I will call him later."
After that, Bella immediately entered her office room. But Leo stopped her again.
"Boss, how about the CEO of Stellar and the legal team!? You need them now?"
Bella stopped walking and turned to see Leo. She pondered for a while before shaking her head.
"No. I must read your report, so you better complete the task quickly. I will let you know when I want to meet them..."
"Alright, Boss. I will make this matter a priority," Leo smiled and left, heading to his office.
...
After Bella sat in her chair, she didn’t immediately turn on the desktop computer. Instead, she looked at Sam standing in front of her desk.
"Sam, do you have any investigative experience?" When Bella saw him slightly confused, she immediately clarified her words. "I mean, finding out someone’s identity, tailing, and spying. Well, something like that..."
"I do, Boss. That’s what I did when I was still active in the military, undercover missions..." Sam, slightly smiling, reminisced about his time in the military.
If only he hadn’t been injured at that time, perhaps now his rank in the military would be high because he was a member of one of the special forces in this country.
Bella smiled happily, hearing Sam’s confirmation. She really needed his talent now.
"I need your help to spy and investigate someone. Can you do it without resources and a team? Well, later, you can hire someone... I don’t mind."
"Yes, I can," Sam said confidently. "Who is the person you want me to investigate!?"
Bella immediately gave Sam several names. Hearing all the names shocked Sam.
Sam couldn’t help but clarify, "Boss, so you want me to spy on the head of building security and some of the Executives in this building?" He was surprised to get this assignment on his first day of work.
"Yes. I need to check what they do daily, who they meet, etc..." Bella said. She needed other reports about those people before she could crush them all.
Bella couldn’t keep people who would stab her in the back. From the initial report she read, she could already see how deep the corruption was in this company.
Everyone was involved, which made her uneasy to work with them. She needed to remove them before she could make Quantum Capital achieve the targets that Jack set for her.
"I’ll try, boss," Sam said firmly.
"Perfect!" Bella took out a card from her wallet and offered it to Sam. That’s actually a card that Jack gave her before she returned to this country.
"Take it. You can keep this company card. You can buy whatever you need. And you can also hire people who can help you."
"Understand, Boss. I will work for it now..."
After Bella dismissed Sam, she started to check her work.
...
After several minutes, Bella was immersed in her work when her cell phone rang.
She casually glanced at it, reluctant to pick up if the call was from Jack.
However, she was stunned when she saw no number on the cell phone screen.
"Spam!? How could my spam filter not work to block this unknown call?" She muttered.
Her gaze was still fixed on the phone screen while trying to debate with herself whether to pick up or not.
Before the ringing ended, Sean’s face suddenly flashed in her mind. She remembered Sean telling her about this; he might call without a number.
Without a doubt, she immediately picked up.
"H-Hello?" Bella greeted him quickly. She was worried Sean would end his call.
There was a sigh of relief on the other end, followed by Sean’s soft voice, "You finally picked up, Bella. Sorry if I called at the wrong time?"
"No... Of course not. I was worried about answering your call because no number appeared, so I hesitated to answer it. But then I remembered you mentioned an unknown number caller..."
Finally, Sean was able to call her. She really needed to hear his voice after that shameless Tristan Sinclair tried to waver her so many times.
Sean chuckled, "Well, sorry... to make a call from this unknown and secure phone. This is the only way to contact you, and I can’t speak over the phone for long." He took a deep sigh.
"Thank you for making the effort, Sean. I appreciate it..." She stood from her seat and looked at the scenery outside, feeling good after the unpleasant drama in the morning.
"Ugh! I miss you so much, Bella. I hope I can fly back there and meet you and Dax." Sean cleared his throat after saying those words.
When he didn’t hear any response from her.
He continued, "How’s your condition and Dax’s offer there? Everything alright?"
A smile flashed across Bella’s face, hearing his sweet words. But, somehow, she didn’t respond to it.
Bella started telling him about their condition; she moved to the capital and finally lived with her grandfather.
She also told him today was her first day working in her office.
However, Bella didn’t tell him about her encounter with Tristan. She worried Sean would stress and cause discord to his mission.
"I’m glad you are doing alright there. And I’m sorry I can’t help you during your transition to the new city, Bella." Another deep sigh could be heard from the other end.
It made Bella feel sorry for him.
