Chapter 153: The Fate Of Stellar Entertainment
At Quantum Capital.
Bella has been working in her office since morning, monitoring the top 10 trending news about Stellar Entertainment.
Reading all the headline news about her company could only make her laugh.
“The CEO of Stellar has been fired due to an embezzlement case.”
“Andreas Corby, the CEO of Stellar Entertainment, was fired for corruption.”
“Five Directors at Stellar Entertainment Become Suspects, and Jail Welcomes Them!”
“Cleaning up at Stellar Entertainment has a negative impact on the company’s reputation.”
“S Jewelry is taking legal action against Stellar Entertainment and Laura Kiels for breaching their contract.”
“The end of Stellar Entertainment is approaching.”
“The Sinclair Group has removed Laura Kiels from her role as a brand ambassador for S Jewelry.”
“Stellar Entertainment’s new CEO and management have been appointed.”
Although news about Stellar Entertainment was circulating, Bella wasn’t worried, as she and Stefan controlled the information flow. There was no news about Quantum Capital and its other businesses.
If an article tries to relate Stellar Entertainment to Quantum Capital, all news about it will vanish instantly from the internet.
But something gave her a headache. Even though she could silence the news, she couldn’t stop the employees in this building from gossiping.
Sam informed Bella that the company’s future is causing concern among all departments, particularly the employees at Stellar Entertainment.
Stellar Entertainment employees seek an internal statement from the new management to explain the company’s future. Almost half of their actresses and actors have been fired, and the employees are eager to know what is happening.
Bella doesn’t plan to do anything for Stellar Entertainment; she will wait a few more weeks until all the cleaning processes are completed.
She focused on handling some work with other companies, especially their new investment in a new oil and gas company in Nova City.
Quantum Capital invested significant money in Celebes Energy, a new oil and gas company, becoming the largest shareholder. This caused Bella to shift her focus to Celebes Energy.
She has planned to visit Nova City since last week, but Stellar Entertainment drained her attention and time. So, Leo had to rearrange their plan to visit the company within a few days.
Currently, Bella can only read some reports from Celebes Energy and have online meetings with management.
Bella had been so busy working since morning that she would have forgotten to eat lunch if Leo hadn’t come to remind her.
“Boss, I know you like working, but you can’t forget your lunch…” Leo smiled when he saw Bella glaring at him. But he ignored his annoyance and continued his words. “Let’s go find some delicious food…”
Bella closed her laptop and then stood up from her seat. After she took her bag, she approached and asked him, “What do you want to eat?”
“You choose,” Leo leaned against the doorframe, concerned about her. She had been glued to her work, not standing from her seat since she arrived at the office.
Sam told Leo that Bella didn’t ask him to buy her brunch, which she usually does when she is in the office.
“Alright, let’s eat an Asian food…” Bella offer.
“Which country?” Leo asked excitedly. He was craving Asian food after eating pizza and burgers frequently in recent days.
Before offering, Bella thought momentarily, “How about Vietnamese food? I really want to eat Pho?”
“Damn!! What a coincidence! I want to eat that too…” Leo chuckled while they walked toward the elevator.

However, before they enter the elevator, a short-haired woman approaches Leo.
She greeted Bella politely before looking at Leo. She said, “Mr. Smith, I received a package for Ms. Donovan.” She offered Leo a small black box the size of a watch case.
Leo frowned as he looked at his assistant, Dana. “What is it?”
“Sir, I’m sorry, but I didn’t dare to open…” Dana answer.
“Okay, you can continue your work. Thank you,” said Leo as he received the small black box from Dana and handed it to Bella. “Are you waiting for this one?”
Bella shook her head, confused, looking at the box.
“Nope, I didn’t wait anything. Ugh… Leo… Why, I thought someone was trying to prank me!? Can you open it for me?”
Bella felt suspicious and afraid to receive the box. Only a few people knew about her office, most of whom were her family. They wouldn’t send something to this place but give it directly to her, right?
Instantly, Leo’s expression turns tense as he eyes the black box on his hand, and then he slowly turns his gaze to Bella.
“Did your enemy send this?” Leo asked.
He became suspicious of those recently fired from the company, especially Andreas Corby and Laura Kiels.
Bella frowned. She also started to wonder if those people would take revenge on her.
“Well, just throw it…” she said and entered the elevator. Leo followed her behind, but his face grew tense as he saw the box in his hand.
After a few moments, he drew closer the box to his ear, hoping to hear something. Fear grips him as he considers the possibility that the object inside might be a bomb.
Ding!
The elevator opened.
“Gosh! You just need to open it or throw it away, Leo,” Bella said as she stepped out of the elevator.
Leo sighed softly as he followed Bella out of the elevator. He ran to match her pace and got closer to her, “What if… it’s a bomb?”
Bella stopped abruptly and frowned upon hearing his words. Although she had considered the same thought, she had set it aside that thought.
“No. It’s impossible…” Bella answered and continued walking toward the main entrance. She saw Sam standing near the car, waiting for them.
“You can give it to Sam. He is an expert on whether it relates to bombs or something like that.”
“Oh, you are right,” Leo said, immediately offering the box to Sam.
“Can you please check what’s inside? This is from an anonymous source. I suspect there’s a small bomb inside.” Leo whispered.
Sam’s expression instantly turned dark.
