Chapter 2022
It was a very brief banquet that concluded in no time.
Isabel bid farewell to Ramona and Triss before having her driver take her back to her place.
Coincidentally, she chanced into Roland again when she was about to reach her place.
He carried a briefcase in hand and wore a black suit as usual. Due to his tall and striking figure, it was very easy to spot him walking down the street. His melancholic figure adorned underneath the streetlights made for a very appealing sight.
Isabel asked her driver to slow down. Then she leaned out the window to gawk at him for a while.
When they were within earshot, she called out, "Roland!"
Roland turned around.
There was hardly a hint of fright in his eyes, he was cool and composed as usual.
Isabel asked, "It’s the weekend today, why are you still at work?"
He stated, "There's still a lot of work that needs to be taken care of."
Isabel made a look, alright then.
She asked the driver to stop, then she scanned the area to make sure no paparazzi were lurking around. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car.
Due to the long hem of the dress she wore, she had to fold it into her hands and carry it around as she walked toward Roland.
When she looked up at him again, she noticed that he was eyeing her up and down.
He must be admiring her outfit, perhaps her figure as well.
Isabel did not feel uncomfortable despite him blatantly eyeing her up and down since there was not a hint of pervert about him. She even felt safe enough to let the hem fall and pose for him, twisting her waist left and right.
"How's the outfit, how do I look?" she asked cheerfully.
Roland pursed his lips and looked away awkwardly.
He commented briefly, "It’s alright."
