could say anything, she grumbled, “What took you
so long?”
Simon massaged his forehead and looked at Seth,
resigned. “I was held up by something.”
Everyone could see that Lara was the one courting
Simon here. Lara clicked her tongue, and she
relented. “I’m at the airport. Can you pick me up?”
Go, go, go. Isabella wanted Simon to leave. Once he

Simon said gently, “I’m busy. My secretary will pick

Isabella staggered and almost fell.
“Calm down, Mr. Dunkstein. No one’s taking her

Seth let his suit open up. He then lit a cigarette and
took a deep hit. He frowned. Smoke swirled around
his head, and he turned around while narrowing his
eyes. “And how are you so sure I haven’t gotten the

Dariel clicked his tongue. Bethany stuck her tongue
out and looked at Isabella, surprised.
Isabella looked calm, but she clenched her fists
