Being the boss was exhausting. The whole company depended on her, and she felt that pressure every single day.
There was no room for even a second of relaxation. She was always worried that business would slow down, that profits would drop, that she wouldn't be able to pay all the people who had built this company alongside her.
She poured herself a glass of warm water, took a couple of sips, and walked out of her office with the glass in her hand.
“Isabella.”
Nana looked up and greeted her as she stepped out.
Isabella walked over to Nana’s desk, glanced at the screen, and asked, “Are my grandparents still waiting out front?”
“I’m not sure,” Nana replied. “I’ll check with security. Give me a second, Isabella.”
Nana quickly dialed the security booth. After a few moments, she hung up and turned back to Isabella. “They’re still there. It looks like they’re determined to wait for you, no matter how long it takes.”
“Do you want me to have someone send them away?” Nana asked.
“No, don’t. They’re old. If anyone even touches them, they’ll probably throw themselves on the ground and accuse us of being rough with them. That’s just asking for trouble. If they want to wait, let them wait.”
“It’s so hot out there. I seriously doubt they can sit for the whole day.”
Isabella headed back to her office. She walked straight to the window and looked down at the entrance. Sure enough, two elderly figures were huddled outside the security booth. She didn’t even need to ask. It was her grandparents.
She sipped her water, watching them, feeling nothing at all.
Just then, a car pulled up in front of the company gates. Isabella watched as a woman got out. She couldn’t make out the woman’s face from this distance, but the silhouette was all too familiar. Natalie.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
