Bella looked up and met Felix's warm gaze. "Felix? What are you doing here?"

Seeing him in a white coat with a hospital badge on his chest only added to her confusion. "Did you start working

here? | thought you were managing your family's company?" Felix smiled, his expression gentle. "I had a long

talk with my parents. They've agreed to lettake two years to do what | really want.

tension, "It's fine. I'm sure you had your reasons for deleting my number. That's your choice, and | respect it. No

He was always like this-making people feel warm and at ease

Bella's embarrassment shifted into guilt. "It's not like that. You probably changed your number after coming

back, right? Giveyour new one. Now that we're colleagues, we'll need to stay in touch."

Felix recited his new number, and after they exch

they exchanged contact information, they went their

separate ways.

Back in her office, Bella thought about Dominic's possessiveness and sensitivity. She quickly changed Felix's

contact nto "Colleague" Dominie wasn't the type to listen to explanations. If he were even remotely

reasonable, she wouldn't have to tiptoe around like this. lan, who acted as Dominic's "eyes" at the hospital, was

always around, so hella made sure to keep her distance from Felix whenever lan was nearby

She didn't want Dominic to get the wrong idea and blow things out of proportion. So, whenever she bumped into

Felix at work, she kept it to just a simple greeting- Felix wasn't used to eating takeout, so at lunch, he invited

Bella to a nearby restaurant. It was the first the had asked her out tot a meal since coming back, and she

felt it would be rude to decline. -

Once they were seated, Felix politely handed her the menu first. Bella, a bit distracted, picked a random dish and

handed it back to him. "How's Yvonne? Has she cback yet?"

Felix shook his head. "I cback to focus on my own life. My parents arranged a school for her abroad. Living

alone has its perks. It's easy, but also kind of dull. I'm not used to her not being around,"

Bella smiled. "You and Yvonne have one of the closest sibling relationships I've ever seen. I'm a little jealous. If

Felix's expression remained calm as he replied, "Dominic treats you pretty well, though."

Bella laughed at herself. "He'd definitely not be my brother."

Felix smoothly added, "No, he's not You two are dating now."

It wasn't a secret anymore, and just thinking about it gave Bella

headache.

Beling with Dominic had been her dream for so many years, but now that her wish had ctrue, something

still felt off. Was it because Dominic didn't love her? Being together like this seemed to lack any real meaning.

Suddenly, Dominic called Bella glanced at Felix and gave him an apologetic smile. "I need to take this."

Felix gestured for her to go ahead, his quiet demeanor showcasing his impeccable manners.

The restaurant was fairly quiet, and their table was tucked in one of the more peaceful comers. Bella didn't feel

the need to step outside into the freezing wind to take the call, so she answered it right there. Dominte's deep,

magnetic voice cthrough the line. "Are you having lunch?"
