Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 114

"Do you need help?"

Feeling extremely flattered, Isabella refused with a smile, "No, it's okay. I have a few friends here helping me, and I dare not to trouble anyone."

"Really no? Miss Jones, I may need your help many times in the future, so you don't need to be courteous. Furthermore, they're your friends, but I can't stand by." Shawn smiled faintly.

"..."

Fortunately, Shawn wasn't present, or she wouldn't know how to refuse such passion. 

Then she calmly replied: "There's really no need, Mr. Simons. If I were to trouble you with such a small thing, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Mr. Smith." 

It was really hard to figure out Shawn's mind.

Seeing her attitude was so firm, Shawn didn't insist anymore. He then said in a disappointed tone: "Alright, then I won't send anyone over. I'll contact you later after you go back to work. I'm still in Brighton now, so if you need help, you can directly call me. "

Isabella felt relieved. She hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Simons. I'll remember what you did for me."

"Okay, Bye. Don't forget to rest."

Shawn hang off the call and slowly raised his head. His handsome face revealing a hint of ridicule. Then, he asked the secretary standing across from him, "Is Christian Miller still in the hospital now?"

"He was yesterday. Now it's unclear." The secretary replied respectfully.

Behind the desk, Shawn pinched the cuffs of his suit, his indifferent expression revealing a bit laziness. "He left his company behind just for this woman."

The secretary smiled. "Then, doesn't this mean that we can proceed with the original plan?"

"No rush." Shawn shook his head. His black eyes were deep and unfathomable as he spoke calmly, "This woman seems not as simple and brainless as I thought at the very beginning. Did she sense it long ago, or has someone told her something?"

Either to divorce in that dilemma, or to have such a courage, he should indeed spend some effort to take her. 

"Aren't you …being too attentive to her? Maybe she has sensed something?" The secretary looked at him with a strange expression.

Shawn was startled. His long fingers caressed his chin, asking, "Attentive? Was I? Wasn't she single now? With such a difficult situation, she shouldn't allow a man not to chase her, right? "

The secretary, "..."

If a woman didn't like a man, whatever he did could only make her hate him even more. 

But she didn't dare to say this. After all, few women would refuse Shawn. 

Thinking for a moment, she said, "Probably she's just too busy recently and hasn't been in a good mood. It may only be counterproductive to be too attentive." 

"..."

After a while, Shawn finally spoke, "So, she also loves to play that hard-to-get trick?"

Hearing that, the secretary laughed dryly, "Mr. Miller is still by her side. If Isabella really has such thoughts, she should play this on him first, shouldn't she?"

If Isabella was truly vain, she wouldn't have chosen to get divorced at that time, would she? As everyone knew, that Mr. Miller was very low-key, who hadn't had any news of having a mistress or something. 

Then Shawn changed the topic: "Leave her for now. Any news about the Polygon recently?"
