Chapter 12 Do you know that Jack has a girlfriend?

Jake and Bella walked out of the house together into Jake's car . 
As the car drove out of the estate, Jake spoke out " So what have you finally decided to do?" 
Bella breathed out and said " I already agreed and grandpa told me that the court wedding will hold next week" 
" I'm glad you agreed " He said and turned to his side without waiting for a response from her. 
When the car arrived in the front of the company, it attracted a lot of attention from the employees. 
When the car arrived in the front of the company, it attracted a lot of attention from the employees. Everybody knew that one person used that car, It was Mr Chairman. But when the driver opened the door and Bella came out of the car first accompanied by Jake, everybody was shocked.
When did Bella, an ordinary accountant of the company begin to come to work with the main boss?
How were they even associated together neither less come to work together. 
The whole thing looked like an unsolvable puzzle.
Bella already prepared herself mentally for this moment. There was something she knew for sure, and that was that she would surely be bomb-barded with questions.
" I want you to follow me to my office, I gave something to give you" Jake said to her and she followed him obediently.
While walking to his office, they received different kinds of glances, most of which were look of fear. The employees greeted Jake respectfully and greeted her too since she was walking directly with Jake.
When they got to his office, Jake opened the closet of his desk and brought out a fancy looking box all the while Bella looked around his office curiously.
When Jake approached her, she almost collected it because the box was too high catching. 
" It's my engagement ring to you , I don't want you walking around without a ring on your finger. Because it shows people who exactly you belong to" 
Jake then opened the box and Bella gasped. He raised her hand and removed the ring from the box , then slipped it on her finger. 
The diamond sparkled around her fingers and made her finger look very beautiful.
" Thanks, it looks so beautiful" She said and walked out of his office still admiring the ring.
He smirked knowing that she liked the ring. It was simple, elegant and gorgeous. 
As she walked to her office , She sighed again and imagined being married to Jake.The whole name changing process was chaotic. Mrs Jake Perry.
Oh wow!
She truly didn't want to marry now but she was going to do this to make the Old man happy. Yes to make the old man happy.
As she walked to her apartment, her other colleagues greeted her like she was the boss.
Oh no! She really wanted to avoid this kind of treatment at all cost, but there was nothing she could do to avoid this. 
Even Mr Myers the HOD of her department greeted her. My Myers even greeted her.
" Good morning Mr Myers, I hope all is well sir" She was almost stammering.
" Don't worry Bella , All is well. But your office has changed"
" what? but......I .... didn't.." Bella was now stammering.
Why should her office change now that she was connected to Jack?
" There is no problem, Miss Bella, your office only upgraded, that's all" Mr Myers said while smiling.
Even his smile made her uneasy
" ok sir"
" Then follow me so I can show you your new office" Mr Myers said and led her to her new office.
The accounting department was close to Jake's office and his secretaries.
Mr Myers led her to a beautiful space of the department. 
Oh God. She was receiving a special treatment now.
" This is now your office Miss Bella" 
" Thank you sir, I will get to work now" Bella said and bowed lightly to him. She knew that no amount of pleading with him would change his mind towards her new office space.
He would not want to offend Jake, so she did not bother to put him in a difficult position.
" you are welcome" He said and walked away leaving her to settle down.
Bella settled down to work without delay, she didn't go for lunch break but worked till the end of the working time.
By 5:00pm, she received a message from Noah informing her that he was already at the restaurant waiting for her. They had met there before with grandpa. It was not far from the company.
She submitted the necessary documents to her supervisor and closed for the day.
She packed her things and took a cab to the restaurant.
She wondered what Noah wanted to tell her?
And there he was, Noah Perry. Cousin to Jake. He was the person who gave her the latest gist and also encouraged her. She knew him before any member of the Perry Family except The Old man.
He raised his hand signalling her towards him. He has that boyish smile on his face.
" Let me guess , you heard of my sudden engagement to Jake and you plan on kidnapping me?" She joked when she sat down. Though it sounded like a joke, it was a serious matter.
" Yeah, I guess I wasn't expecting you to be engaged with the American cold -statue as you called him" Noah replied rather seriously.
" I couldn't refuse grandpa, he has helped me so much" Bella said as she collected the fruit juice the waiter brought before muttering a thank you to her.
" I just wanted you to know that I will always have your back no matter what" Noah said and pressed her hand gently on the table. He soon noticed the ring on her finger , it was too attractive to go unnoticed.
He smiled sadly. How could he tell her that he had already fell for her, she was his type of woman.
Beautiful, Simple, kind and caring.
She was the perfect woman for any man except that arrogant billionaire Jack.
"Do you know that Jake has a girlfriend?"
