Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 75

“Nothing much. I just wanted to know if you're free tomorrow. One of my friends booked a cruise for a party tomorrow night, but I don't know many people here. So I was just wondering if you could be my companion?"

Isabella's expression slightly changed.

Female companion?

They had only met a few times, and they couldn't even be considered friends. Moreover, there was such a huge disparity in status, yet he asked her to be his girlfriend?

Isabella couldn't figure out, but she wasn't stupid either. Someone like Shawn must have met numerous excellent women. How could he even fall for her?

However, with the roses, it was hard for her not to misunderstand.

After thinking for a second, she smiled calmly: "It was my honour to be your companion. Unfortunately, I'll go to Leeds for a business trip tomorrow, and I cannot cancel it. I am truly sorry."

"Business trip? Such a pity. If I had known it earlier, I would have told Mr. Smith about this." Simons wasn't angry at all, he just smiled and said: "After you returned, I'll be back to London. I don't know when we will meet again. But I'm really glad to you who are so talented, Miss Jones, so this trip is not in vain."

Holding her phone, her eyebrows twitched, and her tone remained polite as she said: "Mr. Simons, I am just a small manager. You've saved many dying enterprises in Brighton, how can you call it in vain? You are also a big client of our Benton, and I believe we will meet again soon." "

During the past few years, she had learned a lot of pleasantries to deal with such bosses. However, she hated this very much, which made her disgusted.

It was really tiring to getting along with such shrewd people.

"Alright, I'll see in London." He chuckled, who seemed very happy. 

"Sure, I'll definitely visit you when I go to London."

After chatting for a while, he finally hung up.

Isabella put down her phone, and her expression immediately became serious.

She was now certain that this Shawn was intentionally getting close to her. But what exactly was his intention?

She had neither money nor power. Although she had a pretty face, even his secretary could easily defeat her. What's more, there were numerous ladies he could met in the upper class.

Even if he had a different taste, with his status, he really needn't to find a divorced woman, right?

Isabella pondered for a while with her brows furrowed, and finally stopped thinking when she found herself couldn't understand it. Suddenly, she thought of another worrisome matter.

She casually said that the business trip was on tomorrow as to reject Shawn. What should she do for now?

"Holy s*it! If I knew it earlier, I should just said that I had a date with someone else." Feeling a bit headache, she patted her forehead.

But she had no time to regret. She then hurried out the door to arrange her work.

At this moment, in a luxurious hotel suite, a man put down his phone, slowly stood up, and walked towards the balcony. Under his loose white shirt, there was a thin and tall figure with broad shoulders and a thin waist. 

"Mr. Simons, there isn't any wine party tomorrow. Why did you lie to Miss Jones? Aren't you afraid that she may really agree?" The secretary behind him asked politely.

His slender fingers rested on the railing. Compared to his usual calm and gentle appearance while he was working, his lazy aura now was more distant and cold.
