Chapter 2109
The film crew took advantage of the rain to finish up most of the rainy scenes.
It was a rather busy week, and Friday came before Isabel knew it.
On Friday, the crew managed to wrap up everything around three in the afternoon, and Isabel returned to the hotel after that.
The first thing she did was take a hot bath. Then, she made sure to apply lotion and doused herself in her favorite perfume. She picked out a dress that hugged her slender waist and accentuated her figure before sitting by the window to wait for Roland to visit.
The thought of the though slightly juvenile, yet sweet and innocent surprise that Roland prepared for her last week made her smile. She wondered if he would prepare something similar for her again this week.
Time slowly trickled past while she waited.
It was already getting dark outside, and even the rain was gradually stopping.
She watched as some of the film crew went out together to hang out for the weekend, then she watched as they returned to the hotel. She waited endlessly, but there was no sight of Roland's car pulling up at the junction.
What was with delay? Where was he?
She reached out her phone and tapped on her messages with Roland.
The last time they had spoken was two days ago. Since both of them were always busy with work during the weekdays, they very rarely talked to each other.
She sent him a message, "Are you on the way?"
One minute, two minutes... Ten minutes passed, yet there was no response from him.
Perhaps he was driving.
She started to get concerned, and that was when Flint's name popped up on the display. He had sent her a short text, "Hey, sis, I heard Roland is the son of the Rockwells in Southboro this entire time. Did you know about this?"
Isabel frowned.
She figured that the only ones in Westchester who knew about Roland's true identity were her, Decker, and Clarice. How did Flint know about this?
She asked him directly, "How did you find out?"
Flint replied, "I was just leaving the lab today when a friend of mine who worked in Dad’s office told me. Everyone in Carter Corporation has found out about it."
The entire Carter Corporation knew?
