After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 751

“Don’t like these flowers? Tell me what you do like, I’ll get them for you next time.”

Ethan just never knew when to quit.

Isabella looked at him, her voice flat. “Ethan, are you even listening? I don’t like any flowers. If they’re from you, I don’t want them.”

Ethan’s smile faded bit by bit.

“So you really dislike me that much?”

“If I told you I did, would you finally keep your distance?”

Ethan didn’t even hesitate. “No. I won’t leave you. Even if you can’t stand me, at least I still get a reaction out of you.”

Isabella brushed past him, heading straight for her office.

“Isabella. Isabella.”

Ethan trailed after her, but she slipped inside and shut the door in his face, the sound echoing down the hallway.

He stood outside, too nervous to force his way in, worried he’d just make things worse.

Harold didn’t bother trying to compete for Isabella’s attention. Once she was in her office, he got up and walked over to Nana’s desk, offering her a polite smile. “I’m Harold from The Carter Group. I’d like to discuss a potential collaboration with Isabella. Could you let her know for me?”

He was calm, respectful, following all the right steps, which was more than Ethan could say.

Ethan just stood there, speechless.

Nana’s whole vibe changed for Harold. She picked up the phone, called Isabella’s extension, and after getting the okay, led Harold inside.

Frank had mentioned that the short-form market was on fire, with everyone trying to cash in fast.

Isabella’s company was one of the first to break into the scene and had made more money than most. They’d produced hits and launched the careers of plenty of new stars.

Even after her marriage to Ethan ended, companies still wanted to work with her. Their divorce hadn’t been messy, and Ethan never tried to make her life difficult. CEOs saw a chance to make money with Isabella and didn’t have to worry about crossing Ethan, so they were more than happy to keep working together.

Nana didn’t try to push Ethan away after that. She just went back to her desk and focused on her own work.

Inside the office, Harold took a seat across from Isabella and handed her a folder. “Take a look at these scripts. I picked them up recently and I think they’re great.”

“I already had Barbara read them. She thinks they’re solid too. The Carter Group hasn’t really stepped into this industry before, but I’d like to try working with you.”

“I’ll provide the scripts, and we can co-produce a couple of short dramas. This market is blowing up right now, and there’s real money to be made. I don’t exactly need more cash, but who ever says no to making some extra? If this works, I want in.”
