Chapter 47
Isabella wasn’t in a hurry to dodge. Mandy then stood up and raised a toast
to Jonas. Jonas pulled his hand back. After Mandy was done with the toast,
Isabella quickly stood up and raised a toast to the young junior executives
Kaiser brought.
The ladies then left and raised a toast to themselves, but they stopped
before they could go too far. Isabella was an expert in faking drunkenness.
She would always pour half her wine away. After the toast to everyone, she
was already red in the face, but she had only finished a bit of wine.
As for Mandy, she wasn’t as innocent as she looked. She was dealing with
Kaiser and exchanging numbers with Jonas, but she kept fluttering around
and staying away from these men’s touch.

Half an hour later, the men were already tipsy, but they were not drunk. The

ladies acted like close friends and went to the bathroom, bantering with each
other. Since the men were already tipsy from all the toasting, they didn’t stop
them.
Once they left the room, Isabella heard herself and Mandy sigh in relief. The
ladies chuckled in resignation. They went to the restroom, and Isabella
splashed water onto her face. She then turned to Mandy, who was reapplying
her makeup. “So how long have you been working, Mandy?”
Mandy finished reapplying her lipstick, and she sighed. With a deadpan look
on her face, she said, “Three months.”
Isabella looked at the entrance and whispered, “So Mr. Lime is a…”
Mandy harrumphed and whispered, “He’s a pervert, alright.”
Isabella smiled bitterly. “It is what it is. We’re young and pretty, after all. It’s
going to be a hassle.”

Mandy was amused by her statement. She licked her lips and huddled closer,
then she held Isabella’s arm. “It’s not a bad thing our bosses are pervs. It’d be
bad for newbies if they won’t even fall for honey traps.” She closed the
distance between them and spoke in a voice that was barely a whisper. “If
you trust me, I have some advice for you.”
A pause later, Isabella asked, “What is it?”
Mandy looked down and poked Isabella’s arm. “If Jonas gives you any
commission, do not take it.” She moved away languidly and winked at
Isabella’s reflection.
Isabella handed her a bottle of mouthwash calmly and took out her lipstick to

reapply as well.
4/8
The ladies returned to the room. The gents were having fun, and they looked
at the ladies once they came in. Isabella ‘tripped’ and leaned on Mandy. “Mr.
Stokes, I think Isabella drank too much. She has to go back to the hotel right
away.”
Isabella looked dazed, and she was muttering gibberish. She held Mandy,
smiling dumbly like she was really drunk.
