Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 61

She had originally thought that she had made things clear enough, but who knew that Shawn said with a smile: "I'll take the responsibility If something goes wrong. I still believe in you, Miss Jones. "

Mr. Smith also encouraged her, "Since Mr. Simons has already said so, Isabella, just accept it. It's a good opportunity."

Isabella showed a stiff smile. She did not want this opportunity at all. In just a few months, even if she could hide her pregnancy, she wouldn't dare to take such a huge project. 

Simon and Smith didn't know that she was pregnant, but Christian did. He slightly frowned and looked at Shawn with a faint smile: "Mr. Simons, I really admire your courage. Making a newbie with only three-year-working experience take a project with a few hundred millions. Are you not afraid to lose all your money? Your trust on her seems a bit personal."

No one present expected him to interrupt, and they all looked at him.

Shawn raised his eyebrows, and smiled lightly: "I heard that Polygon has been corporate with Benton, and Miss Jones is working on it now as well. Are you not been personal?"

Christian carelessly spoke, "Probably because Mr. Smith is training his new blood. But I wouldn't appoint her if it was me."

Isabella: "..."

Was he helping her or deliberately diss her?

Shawn laughed, "Mr. Miller, you might not know Miss Jones very well. Since she has only worked for three years, she should be very hard working as she has gained such a thorough understanding of this industry, so I think I should give her the chance."

He then looked at Isabella, "Miss Jones, there is no need to be stressed. My people will also coordinate with you. You can ask them anytime if you have any issues."

There’s a trace of coldness flashed in Christian's deep black eyes. He did not speak nor did he look at Isabella.

However, now he was almost certain that things was not that simple.

Isabella lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She understood she couldn't refuse since he had said that.

A few seconds later, she raised her face, smiled, and nodded, "Okay, I will work hard to achieve the best since you trust me so much."

"Alright, let's toast." Shawn raised his glass and looked at Isabella.

She looked at the glass in front of her, and decided to just take a sip.

Just as she was about to drink after clinking glasses with Shawn, she heard a voice from the other side, "Isn't Miss Jones going to visit your mother in hospital? Do you even want to drive after drinking? "

Startled, Isabella then secretly shot him a glare.

Even if he wanted to help her, he didn't need to embarrass her like that, right?

Then, in a flash, she could only bite the bullet and smile: "I am sorry, Mr. Simons. I need to drive later, so I cannot drink with you today. But you can still drink with my boss and Mr. Miller, and I will serve you wine."

Shawn shook his head and laughed, "I almost forgot that. What a poor memory. Mr. Smith, Mr. Miller, cheers."

Holding his glass, Mr. Smith said extremely politely, "Sure, I'm here to just drink with you two today”.
