As a foreigner

“My Little Slave”

Author by Natalie Ernison

…

Belle has high hopes for her future career path. However, who would have thought if there would be a big storm waiting in front of her.

“Andrew my best friend, I will not waste your kindness..” Belle stepped forward with hope and responsibility on her shoulders.

“Sorry sir, Miss Belle seems to be getting new responsibilities from the boss who takes care of her work.”

“Ah, I see.. well, you can go out.”

The man sitting in the CEO's chair was Jordan Heron the mob boss who had made a deal with Belle that night. It was something Belle had never imagined before.

For several weeks Belle worked as usual, and she still hadn't met Jordan in person, the man she had made love to at the mafia headquarters at the time.

“Miss Belle, we are counting on you.” Said the other employees, when it was time for Belle to present in front of big clients even from abroad. Because Belle can speak several foreign languages, she is entrusted as the front speaker.

Today is an important meeting between domestic and foreign clients. If Belle manages to get through this, then her career path is already ahead.

Belle stepped in confidently, and she began to present the development of the Tiger Group company. Everything was really as expected, Belle managed to finish her presentation to the end. Some of the young leaders were also very proud and amazed at the achievements that Belle had.

Unbeknownst to Belle, Jordan was already in the middle of the meeting.

“As a token of our appreciation for this partnership, we invite the CEO and owner of the Tiger Group to share a few messages for us,” Belle said with a confident smile, followed by loud applause accompanying the steps of the CEO and company owner, the handsome man.

As Jordan stepped closer, Belle's whole body seemed to lose its balance. Her hands trembled as she was about to hand Jordan the mix. However, Jordan behaved like a foreigner and more precisely limited to superiors and subordinates.

The cheerful smile that Belle had displayed in the first place, now turned somber and almost lost for words again.

“Thanks to Miss Izabelle Vedroe, for your help until tonight,” Jordan said with a smile on his face and then walked away.

After presenting a series of events, Belle returned to the common rest hall. Brew a cup of hot tea and also a piece of cake on a small plate. Just as she turned to take her place, Jordan was already sitting beside Belle's chair.

Belle had to act normal, even though she was actually very restless.

“Mr. Jordan, it is an honor for us to join you, sir.” Said Belle's co-workers.

This is snack time, after all day meeting with clients and big leaders.

Belle sipped her tea without looking at Jordan. But Jordan had always been staring at Belle.

“Miss Izabelle, it seems we have met before?” Jordan said as if he was remembering something. Belle was silent but still tried to smile.

“Oh, really sir?” Belle replied with a friendly smile.

“Really good at acting.. I can't take this little bitch lightly..” Jordan smirked after saying that.

“Has this man known of my existence for so long, but is trying to play tricks on me ..” Belle remained cautious. Because after all, their one-night relationship can't be forgotten.

“Miss Izabelle, the manager is calling for you!” Said, one colleague. Finally, Belle had a reason to leave that place, and of course away from Jordan's presence.

“Just look ahead, you won't be able to run away from me, little bitch.” Jordan just sat there, as if he already had various naughty plans for Belle.

“Vedroe Family Residence”

Go early in the morning, come home late at night sometimes. That's Belle's daily routine since she started her career as the person in charge of the division and also earned the trust of the company manager.

Belle looked at the living room of her family's residence brightly, not as usual.

“Ah, this is our only daughter,” said Mrs. Ved welcomes Belle home.

Unexpectedly, Jordan was already sitting in the middle of her family. Even Mr. Vid was there too.

“Belle, say hello to our special guest,” said Mr. vid.

“Your daughter is doing very well.” Praise Jordan.

“Is there a small event, even I don't know?” said Belle, trying to stay calm.

“Belle, you should be very grateful to have a leader like Mr. Jordan. It was because of that, father was freed from debt a few months ago,” said Mrs. Vid, mother of Belle.

Apparently, the Belle didn't know that Jordan wasn't as good as they thought, Belle thought at the time.

“Belle, pay your respects to Mr. Jordan!” snapped Mr. Vid, at that moment Belle lowered her head while giving thanks.

“Forgive my subordinates for acting as they pleased with uncle,” Jordan said kindly.

“No problem Mr. Jordan. Now I have started to leave my old life at the gambling table. All just in vain .. “said Mr. vid.

“Forgive our daughter, if, in master's company, Belle causes trouble,” said Mrs. Vid. Belle was silent, she was too lazy to get involved in tonight's topic.

“Belle is the only daughter in our little family, and we have high hopes for Belle,” said Mr. Vid.

“I hope all goes well,” said Jordan.

“Belle, escort Mr. Jordan to the parking lot,” said Mrs. Vid.

“Okay mom,” Belle answered obediently.

… …

Belle walked along with Jordan, it was a very awkward atmosphere.

Right in the area of the stairs down, Jordan stopped his steps.

“You're the proud daughter of the family, but it's a shame that this one princess is willing to give up her future to a man she doesn't even know.” Jordan said mockingly.

“Sir, your car is in front of the main lobby. I will be back,--”

Jordan suddenly grabbed Belle's hand, and made Belle merge with him.

“You don't need to be arrogant in front of me, because I could destroy what you have built all this time. Remember well, I really hate women who act arrogant but are actually a bitch.” Jordan snapped.

“Well, the bitch that has given you satisfaction, Mr. Jordan. Do you feel like using my services again?” challenged Belle, but actually her heart was broken by what Jordan had said.

“Using you, it's the same as enjoying the leftovers that have been thrown in the trash ..” Jordan said, then turned to leave.

Belle held her breath slowly, Jordan's words really insulted her. However, Belle didn't care about that. For Belle, it was all over, even though Jordan was the highest boss in the company where Belle worked.

Looking up at the night sky with a sad smile. “If you think I'm just a bitch, then continue like that.. I don't care..” Belle muttered.
