Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 2106

Chapter 2106

"Of course, we wouldn't know about Mr. Roland's private affairs."

"Who is this celebrity Mr. Roland has been dating?"

They were quite curious about who the revered Roland's girlfriend could be.

Decker was more than happy to quell their curiosity, "She's one of the most famous actresses right now, and I’m sure you all have heard of her."

"Who is it?"

"President Rockwell, quit teasing us. Out with it already!"

They urged him on.

Decker announced her name at last, "Isabel Ross."

"Oh... Isabel!"

"She's certainly very famous. I wasn't expecting someone like Mr. Roland to end up with a celebrity though. I assumed he would have a different taste."

"Well, men love beautiful women, don't they? Isabel Ross sure is a knockout. I would date her too if given the chance, but then again I have a wife now, so she's off-limits to me."

Everyone continued to joke and gossip about the tantalizing subject.

None of them noticed Odell whose expression had turned ominously dark, as well as the two senior executives who were fidgeting in their seats and casting looks at Odell.

The two senior executives were the only ones who were aware that the famous Isabel Ross was Odell's daughter, and more importantly, the future successor of Carter Corporation.

They knew that the reason Roland was standing in as president in the first place was that Isabel was hesitant to take up the mantle just yet and decided to get someone to take over for her.

Odell's mood only seemed to grow darker as time went on. One of the executives wisely interrupted the merry conversation going on at the table to swerve them to another topic, "Anyway, we shouldn't be talking about Mr. Roland’s private life especially when he's not around. Let's talk about something else."

The part he wisely omitted was that they should stop gossiping about Isabel who was Odell's daughter. Things would not end well for any of them should they upset Odell.

Everyone at the table was quick-witted enough to sense that they should steer away from this subject. They exchanged several quick banter after that and moved on to another subject.

Decker sensed the tension in the air and hurriedly remarked, "Please don't get the wrong idea. I didn't mean to gossip about Mr. Roland's personal affairs. I was just making some small talk."

"Oh, no worries. We understand, we understand."
