Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 83

As she was about to enter her room, the door on the opposite side was suddenly opened.

Minh, who stood at the door, was stunned seeing them.

The atmosphere became eerily quiet. Isabella was also caught off guard and her reactions became slow.

"Miss, Miss Jones, who is this?" Minh'd never met Christian before. He only felt him a bit familiar, but he wasn't sure.

Christian remained indifferent. He glanced at him and guessed that the man on the phone should be him. Then he intimately explained, “Her friend."

Isabella went back to her sense as she stuttered, “err, yes, f… friend."

Minh laughed, and praised him generously, "Even her friend is handsome as such. Nice to meet you, my name is Minh Johnson. I work in the same department with Miss Jones."

Isabella was already used to his personality, so she didn't care much. Afraid that Christian would say too much, she quickly interrupt him, “Hasn't John woken up?"

"Oh, he has already went for breakfast." He looked at them and asked: "Miss Jones, have you eaten yet? Would you like me to buy some for you?”

Isabella smiled and quickly waved her hand, “There's no need. We just had breakfast. Hurry up, we would have work to do later."

"Then he came here for…

"Nothing, he'll leave right away." Afraid that Christian would say something, Isabella quickly urged Minh: "Come back early."

It was already very awkward have him see them. He would definitely guess something if he knew Christian's name, with his shrewdness.

"Oh, okay, I'll go now." Minh even nodded towards Christian.

They were of similar height, but either of temperament or appearance, Christian was way more eye-catching, who had an aura of the elite.

But one was young and aggressive, the other prudent and steady. Even when Minh stood in front of him, he wasn't defeated by his aura. He was completely not like Mr. Smith when standing in front of Christian.

Isabella couldn't help but take another look at Minh who had already left. A natural leader?

Her eyes were sharp as a torch.

Christian, of course, didn’t miss the complacency and admiration in her eyes. He casually asked with his eyes dimmed, “You like him?"

Without looking at him, she unconsciously nodded, “Yeah. He's a talent."

But in the next second, her face suddenly changed as she turned around and stared at him, “Does that have anything to do with you? Aren't you going to rest? Get out of here. Don't let me see you again."

She then entered the room and slammed the door shut without even looking at him. She cut him off completely.

...

After that, Christian hadn't pestered again. Not knowing whether he went to rest or else, Isabella just put her mind on work again.    

After planning out all the companies they would visit in the morning, she left the hotel with Minh and John.           

As an internet technology company, Benton was actually quite well-known in this industry. Its business scope ranged from webpage developing to system development. Her main task on this trip was to collect and sort out the feedback data of users and some bugs of their products.        

The first company was one which developed medical apparatus and instruments.     

Isabella got off the car and checked the navigation chart on her phone, saying: “It should be the right place, right?"     

Minh burst out laughing. He pointed at the big words on the building, "If the words aren't wrong, then it should be."                  

Isabella suddenly felt embarrassed, then she coughed lightly and said: “Then here it is. Let's get into it."  

She found a driver who didn't know the way either, so she could only use the GPS by herself. She lost way a few times, and was laughed by the two young men all the way.
