Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 37

After working for a while, Mr. Smith called her through the internal phone. Isabella looked at Rachel, who was quiet on the sofa. She got up and walked over, squatted down to look at her, and asked softly, "aunt is going out. Are you playing here or going with aunt?"

Rachel blinked her eyes, turned and got off from the sofa, grabbing at her clothes.

Isabella laughed, and then touched her head,"Alright, let's go together."

Holding her small hand, she went to the executive office. Mr. Smith looked at her in confusion, "This girl?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Smith, this is my friend's child …" Isabella narrated Rachel's situation to him.

Mr. Smith nodded understandably, then waved her to sit down and said, "the branch of Polygon Group here has been basically completed and will begin to operate immediately. The representative of their company will visit later. I hope you can handle this for me."

What? How are they so fast?

She took a pause, pretending nothing had happened. "Do you know who will come?"

The CEO would not come for a branch office.

Mr. Smith smiled unnecessarily, "it should be just some department managers, so I let you go. If there are any big ones, I'll go by myself. It's not a big deal. Just invite them to meal at noon."

Meal?

Isn't that a social intercourse? It was fine if there were not many people, but if there were more, they would drink definitely. Besides, she has Rachel.

"Mr. Smith...Um…" She looked down at Rachel with a little difficulty, then said in a conflict. " May I arrange some people from my department to treat him?"

Mr. Smith looked at her, then looked at Rachel’s cute face, thinking about it and nodded, "That's fine, you can make the arrangements. You must treat them well."

Isabella slightly heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked with a smile"Alright." : "Then, when will they arrive?"

Mr. Smith turned and look outside the window and said faintly, "It should be around this time. It's not far away, it's just across the street. It won't take a few minutes.

"…"

Isabella's body stiffened, and her mind was a bit muddled. “Where is it? On the other side? She thought she had heard something wrong, and she stared at Mr. Smith blankly.

She looked at the building slowly, which is across the street.

Their branch was located in that building?

Mr. Smith didn't notice her. He smiled, walked to the window, pointed to the same floor opposite and said, "it's a coincidence that the Polygon Group branch is on the same floor opposite. With better eyes, I should still be able to see them. However, my myopia can't see anything."

Isabella's eyes followed him, her smile extremely stiffed, and her eyes deep and complex.

Did Christian do this on purpose or not?

Did the call he made last night have anything to do with it?

"Alright, you can make the arrangements first." Mr. Smith waved to her.

"Yes." Isabella recovered her emotions and pulled Rachel away from the executive office.

Back to her office, she stood by the window and looked at the building opposite with an absent-minded expression.

All of a sudden,the curtain of the room facing her office moved up slowly. In front of the huge French window, a slender and upright figure was so completely exposed in her field of vision, like an actor under the curtain in the center of the stage, which made her feel very unreal.

She flashed back and blinked her eyes. After confirming that he was not an illusion, she subconsciously bit her lips.

Now, it was certain that the man did it on purpose.

Christian stood there still. His expression was a little vague, but the only thing he could be sure was that he was looking at her, and seemed to know where her office was long ago.

Isabella became more and more worried. She picked up her phone and called him without hesitation.

The bell rang for a few seconds. She saw clearly that the man took out his mobile phone from his pocket and put it in his ear. His face was still facing her direction.
