5. The emergence of the CEO's son.

Six months later.

Garden Newton Beach And Resort.

The resort's name is well known, especially under the Newton Company, which has been successful for decades under the control of Joong Newton, the second-generation CEO of the Newton Company.

Bella was grateful to be working at the resort when adversity almost robbed her of her faith in the world. Still, if your mother is Charita Parthapat, you'd better stand your ground because that woman will continue to support the best decisions for her daughter.

Bella sipped a glass of cold water from the fridge in the pantry this afternoon. Behind her, several other employees were busy talking about someone.

It's not unusual because wherever women are if there's more than one human being, there lies a familiar conversation.

"Really? He's coming!"

"How handsome is that man? Please tell me."

"Really! Haven't you seen his face? Too bad our fates are the same."

Bella's attention was distracted by three girls her age talking about a man. Bella approached to know more.

"What are you guys talking about? Sounds pretty excited," Bella said with a friendly smile.

"Bella, haven't you heard the news?" Mook asked.

"Whose news?"

"Ah. She doesn't know today's gossip, Mook. Just tell her to add to the excitement in the resort," said Silly, a shoulder-length-haired girl with a small mole on her left cheek.

"Okay." Mook was ready to take over. "So, Bella. Do you know anything about a Sky Newton?"

Bella shook her head.

"You don't know?" Mook seemed to be in shock.

"I seriously don't know him, but that guy's last name is a small sign that he's connected to this resort?" Bella concluded.

"You're right, Bella. Sky Newton is the son of Joong Newton, the owner of Newton Company. This resort is one of their family's luxury properties." Chize, who had been quietly listening, now opened her voice. "Now you can understand a little, right?"

Bella nodded.

"But, I believe that all the new employees in this place have never met Sky Newton." Silly assumed.

"Why is that?" asked Bella.

"Because the rumor is that Sky Newton has never been to this resort, Bella. Ah, let alone new employees, old employees certainly like us."

"When is Sky Newton coming?" Bella's expression was the flattest of the four girls. She seemed uninterested in following the euphoria when rumors of Sky Newton's presence filled every employee's ears in this resort.

"This afternoon, Bella. He's coming this afternoon, and you can imagine how much excitement there will be because a young master is coming." Mook was getting excited, and everyone looked like they would run if Sky Newton's figure appeared, while Bella only blinked in response.

"Eum, alright." Bella smiled slightly, and she nodded. "I still have other work, and I'm out now." She stepped out of the pantry.

"Why is she acting so casual?" Mook wondered after Bella disappeared behind the door.

"That girl just doesn't know it yet," Chezi said and headed for the door. "Never mind, just talking in this place won't finish my work, so I'm leaving now. You guys should do it, too, right? Don't let the seniors see and report your negligence to the superiors."

"His words are horrible," said Silly.

"But Chezi's right. Let's get back to work." Mook pulled Silly out of the pantry.

Bella could only understand the situation after witnessing the difference in this place. Everyone was busy cleaning up, and the boss asked that everything be impeccably neat. It's like an impromptu inspection from the audit team.

In almost six months of work, it was only today that Bella realized that there were too many employees in Garden Newton.

Understandably, the resort building not only stands on the north but also the west and east. Some of the employees rarely intersect, but today all of them–like gathered together.

"Bella, don't forget your lanyard. You're wearing it, aren't you?" asked Perth, a longtime employee at the resort, as he checked the clothing of each employee.

"I keep it here, Phi Perth." Bella took the lanyard out of her black skirt pocket.

"Good, you should wear it now, don't lose it."

"Yes, Phi Perth." Bella nodded obediently.

"I'll check on someone else. Keep up the good work. This might happen once in a lifetime, Bella."

The girl didn't comment as Perth stepped aside. She was confused about why everyone treated Sky Newton–like an angel who only came down to earth once. This sounded intriguing.

"If it's about the CEO's son, who is very important and special in the eyes of others, I can understand. But if it's about an angel coming down to earth? That sounds strange." Bella muttered softly. She couldn't act like most of the other employees, but to be more presentable, Bella showed it.

At four o'clock, everyone, superiors and employees, had gathered in rows as if for a ceremony, but this situation was a form of welcoming Sky Newton.

Bella was behind Mook. She looked right and left, and everyone was preparing well.

Sky Newton's car had just arrived at the Garden Newton parking lot, followed by several other vehicles.

As the man in the dusty suit got out, several bodyguards stood by.

It's a situation that shows that Sky Newton is very influential. Rumor has it that the man will soon replace his father, who still occupies the CEO seat.

"He's coming, and he's coming." Several people whispered to each other.

Bella waited for his appearance, and she saw the manager welcoming Sky Newton's appearance with about six bodyguards behind him.

Everyone was amazed and smitten. Sky Newton's handsome face as he stepped onto the white carpet that stretched from the veranda to the resort lobby made him look like an actor being welcomed by his fans.

The female-dominated staff of the resort was left helpless, many regretting why they had to stand in the back row. All the front rows were lucky enough to witness the man's charisma and good looks more clearly.

"Oh my! He's so handsome." Mook chimed in. She looked adorable and wanted to run toward Sky Newton.

Meanwhile, Bella was having trouble seeing because the previously orderly rows were now scrambling to see Sky Newton.

"Why is it so hard," Bella murmured as she stood on tiptoe, looking for a gap. She was just as curious because of the excitement.

However, when Bella managed to find a gap and saw a man in a dusty suit busy talking to a bodyguard, Bella glared and hid her body behind other people.

"No, no, no. This can't be. How can it be?" Bella said softly. She went back to check the situation, confirmed it again, and hid after that. "Isn't he someone who once helped me when I almost killed myself? This is crazy. Bella, you should become a larva and hide in the ground forever."
