"Ms. Nightshade, we've arrived."
"Alright."
She reluctantly glanced at her phone, deciding to finish filming the reality show before coming back to soothe her Ori.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy."
Behind his desk, Orion's joyful smile faded as the cold, automated voice echoed through the room.
Cedric watched as his boss's expression shifted from 'happy' to 'upset.' Ms. Nightshade was really skilled—sending flirty messages to CEO and calling him "babe" while chatting with someone else on the phone. She had the CEO wrapped around her finger!
"Sir, here's what you requested."
"Get out!"
"Alright."
Worried about getting caught in the crossfire, Cedric quickly made his exit, only to hear a deep voice call, "Come back in."
Cedric thought to himself, Love really did make Orion even more unpredictable.
At the international airport in the northern areas of Crestwood, Xanthea stepped into the cabin and immediately noticed Isabella, who dressed flamboyantly and leisurely applying her nail polish.
She paused and asked Ryan, who was next to her, "Are we on the wrong plane? What's Isabella doing here?"
Before leaving, she had checked with her uncle about the guest list for this episode of Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night, and Isabella wasn’t invited.
"No, I heard Ms. Taylor was a last-minute addition. The production team probably hasn't announced it yet."
Realizing this, Xanthea figured Isabella must have put a GPS tracker on her to monitor her every move so closely.
If they weren’t the same gender, Xanthea would seriously suspect her of having a crush on her—Isabella's imitation and stalking has reached the level of being creepy.
