Chapter 1949
Liam ignored her.
This made her more irritable. "It's all you guys' fault! If one of you or Flinty would take up the family business, Dad wouldn't have thrown it on my lap!"
Liam expressed without interest, "It's not like you have anything going on anyway."
He said it without any inflection in his voice.
Isabel exploded, "What do you mean I have nothing going on?! Do you have any idea how busy I am?! I have a lot of films to shoot!"
She raised her voice by several pitches, and it sounded like she was going to throw herself on Liam.
Caprice was alarmed and immediately threw the door open. She noticed Isabel who seemed like she was about to pounce on Liam's desk and cried out, Isabel, don't be angry! Uncle Carter probably let you take over because he trusts that you can handle it."
Isabel flipped a look at her. The infuriated expression on her face immediately vanished it. What took its place was a gentle and doting smile.
"Caprice?" she said with a spring in her voice before darting a look at Liam. "How long have you been hiding Caprice in your office?"
Caprice winced. "I... I accidentally fell asleep after lunch."
Liam must have carried her into the bedroom.
Isabel chuckled. "No need to explain. I understand."
Caprice sighed weakly.
Something suddenly occurred to Isabel, and a flash crossed her eyes. "Caprice, have you started your new semester yet?" she asked suddenly.
Liam seemed alarmed by this as well, so he asked warily, "Isabel, what are you up to?"
"Caprice is basically my sister. What did you think I was going to do to her?" Isabel snapped back grumpily, then she turned back to Caprice with an affectionate smile.
Caprice answered her question, 'The semester starts next week."
"Does that mean you’re free this weekend?"
Caprice considered briefly, "I think so."
