Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 51

After that unpleasant matter, Isabella hadn't seen Christian for half a month, nor did they contact with each other.

She would still unconsciously glance the big building opposite her every day when she was in office. However, the curtains were drawn all the time, so she thought that he should have already returned to Leeds.

He always distinguished well between business and personal affairs, so she quickly tossed it to the back of her mind.

At noon, after using her computer for half a day, Isabella went to the fitness centre after lunch, walking slowly on the treadmill.

She'd been so busy lately that she almost forgot that she was pregnant. There was a baby in her baby, so she must take good care of herself.

"Miss Jones, what are you doing?" A colleagues who came in saw her walking very slowly on a treadmill, couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Isabella smiled and said, "Why? Can't I take a walk after lunch?"

"Sure you can! In such a large company only you take a walk on a treadmill. Miss Jones, I admire you." He then gave her a thumbs-up, which however was more of joking.

Isabella didn't care about what he said. She put the headphones in her ears then continued to walk.

After ten minutes, She slowly stopped the machine. Then she leaned against the treadmill, breathing softly.

"Miss Jones, here you are!"

There was a clear and bright voice behind her.

Startled, Isabella turned her head and saw a young and handsome face. She immediately took off her headphones and took the water from his hands, smiling. "Thanks."

Minh Johnson, an intern who had just entered her department a few weeks ago. He was three years younger than her, who worked hard and was very out going. She liked him very much. 

"How's your work these days? Did you find any trouble? "

Minh slowly ran on the treadmill beside her. He revealed a mouthful of white teeth with a grin, "How hard could it be? Probably the biggest problem is... It was too idle."

"..."

Isabella didn't what to say for a second. She had been too busy recently to have a rest, but he said that he was too idle. Was he not afraid that she, his superior, would be unhappy?

Minh seemed to see through her depression and said smilingly: "I can finish my work rather quickly. If you don't have enough time, Miss Jones, I can help you."

Isabella raised her eyebrows. she joked while looking at him: "Why do I feel like I'm going to lose my job? Are you sure you're not here to replace me? "

"How dare I? I'm not as excellent as you. Even if I could get into your position in one year, you are my superior." His smile was unrestrained, which had the feeling of a young man in high spirits.

"One year?" Isabella said, "You brat, even I spent three years by working day and night to get to this position."

Hearing that, Minh laughed a silly laugh .

Isabella put down the water, walked down the treadmill, and said, "Didn't you say you are always idle? I have a social gathering this afternoon, but John couldn't attend it as he has other things to do. You come with me. "

Minh's eyes lit up, "You want me to drink the wine for you?"

"..."

Isabella looked at him strangely, "Are you excited about that? You even an alcoholic? "

Minh laughed, "As a hero, I never miss a chance to save a beauty. Also, you should remember this while issuing bonus."

"..."

Hearing this, Isabella didn't even know what to say. She stared at him in disbelief for a few seconds, and ridiculed: "For only half a month, you now have deeply understand what a workplace is like. Kid, you will do better than me in future."
