Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 The Boss Got Teased; An Unexpected Encounter With Danny 

George did not mind but rather admired Isabelle. He politely said, “I apologise for my presumption. 

“You weren’t presumptuous, you were audacious to the point of absurdity,” Isabelle muttered to herself. Then she stood up and said, “I’m not staying for dinner. There will be another chance in the future. 

“But the meal is almost ready.” Magnus also stood up and asked hurriedly, “Are you rushing back to Norward City?” 

“Yes,” Isabelle didn’t explain. – 

She accepted Magnus’s warm invitation simply because of his identity. When she heard the young assistant call him Mr. Burton at the entrance of the mall, she guessed who Magnus was. 

She did not care for herself, but Ethan would also take the entrance exam for Taragon University in the future. So she decided to take the opportunity to pave the way for Ethan and getting to know the principal of Taragon University was a good deal. 

But this meal… She glanced at George without showing any emotion. 

“Well, since you’re in a hurry, I won’t insist on keeping you. Can you give me your contact number?” 

“No need, I will definitely go to Taragon University. I’ll see you on September 1st.” After Isabelle finished speaking, she declined Magnus’s offer to see her off, picked up her things, and left. 

Magnus greatly admired Isabelle’s calmness and the confidence and composure that emanated from her. 

Despite being refused, Magnus still had his assistant escort her out. 

George watched Isabelle for a while. After that, he looked down and noticed the prescription on the table. 

He picked it up. 

The handwriting on the paper was elegant and flowing. 

This handwriting looked familiar. 

George asked, “Is this…” 

Magnus looked over. “It’s the prescription she wrote for me.” 

George looked at the prescription for a moment. After that, he put it down and stood up. 

Seeing him stand up and straighten his clothes, Magnus asked, “What? Are you leaving too? Won’t you stay and have a meal with me?” 

“Next time. I’ll go and see her off for you.” After 

“See off? Who?” Magnus was puzzled. 

George finished speaking, he walked away. 

At this moment, the assistant came over with a phone. “Mr. Burton, it’s from the school.”

Magnus took the phone and put it to his ear. 

He heard the excited voice on the other end, “Magnus, come quickly! The genius who answered the questions on the forum has appeared, and she’s in our school now.” 

When Isabelle left, she saw a black Maybach parked at the door. 

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. Then, she turned back, walked around to the back of the car, and looked at the license plate. 

[Taragon A0000] 

Was it George in the car that day? 

Or was it Sam? 

Or were they both there? 

Isabelle had clearly felt that the person in the car was watching her that day, so she was sure that the car had come to her house for her. 

Isabelle picked up her things and left. Before she could hail a taxi, the black Maybach stopped beside her. 

Dylan got out of the driver’s seat, opened the back door, and said to Isabelle, “Miss Jenkins, Sir would like to see you off on behalf of Mr. Burton. Please get in the car 

Isabelle glanced at Dylan, then looked into the car. She could only see the man’s long, trouser–clad legs and the shiny black leather shoes beneath them. After a moment’s thought, Isabelle handed the large bag of medicinal herbs to Dylan. 

Caught off guard, Dylan quickly held it. As he watched Isabelle get into the car, he thought to himself. She has no manners at all. 

Dylan closed the car door for her and put the large bag of things in the passenger seat. 

“Be careful. Those are not cheap,” Isabelle reminded him. 

If she had not been short of money, she would not have taken the two ginsengs worth 450 thousand from Mr. Garth for free. She could only wait until she had money to pay him back. 

“Okay.” Even though Dylan said that, he wondered how expensive it could be. 

Dylan got in the car and asked, “Miss Jenkins, where should I take you?” 

Isabelle said, “Horton Hotel.” 

Horton Hotel? How extravagant. The minimum cost for a night’s stay is 15 thousand dollars. I’m afraid she has already spent most of the 150 thousand Sam gave her, Dylan thought to himself. After that, he asked, “Are you going back to get your luggage?” 

Isabelle had just said at Mr. Burton’s house that she was rushing back to Norward City. So, Dylan thought she would say something like the airport or the high–speed rail station. 

“Yes.” Isabelle did not feel like explaining more. After all, she did not expect George to be so free as to take her to the hotel to pick up her luggage and then kin take her to the airport.

However, George saw through Isabelle’s perfunctory attitude. 

Dylan started the engine, and the black Maybach gradually disappeared into the traffic. 

“Miss Jenkins, did you come all the way to Taragon City to buy so much medicine because there’s a sick person at home? George initiated the conversation. 

“Set of. Those medicines are for my brother to use for foot baths” 

Foot baths? Dylan’s facial features twitched uncontrollably. Then, he glanced sideways at the large bag of medicinal herbs next to him. 

She’s using expensive medicinal herbs for a foot bath? What did she mean by “sort of“? Is it for fun or is there an actual sick person 

“Mr. Burton’s illness is a chronic one and it’s hereditary. Previously, Mr. Garth of Maven Apothecary would help him alleviate it with acupunctures, but that’s only a temporary solution. From what Mr. Burton just said, it seems that you must have some knowledge of acupuncture and medical skills. It’s quite impressive for someone as young as you to have such achievements. I wonder if your medical skills and acupuncture knowledge are self–taught or … 

“It’s self–taught. I was just experimenting. 

She’s just experimenting and she dares to perform acupuncture on people, and even curing them? Either she’s a modest genius, or she’s blatantly lying, Dylan thought. 

George naturally noticed that Isabelle did not want to talk much, and he had always been a gentleman who knew how to behave, but today he chose not to. 

So, he continued to ask: “Miss Jenkins, you should be in your senior year of high school, right? Are you studying science or humanities? Are you very interested in computers?” 

Unexpectedly, Isabelle replied, “Mr. Harris, are you very interested in me?” 

Isabelle rested her elbow on the car window with her hand supporting her head and looked at George with a smile that was not quite genuine. Her overall demeanour was incredibly casual and relaxed, yet there was a hint of sharpness, like an iron fist in a velvet glove. At the same time, her tone intentionally carried a touch of playfulness. 

Dylan, who was driving in front, almost choked on his own saliva. 

The young girl is teasing Boss! No, judging by her tone, she’s flirting with him! 

George burst into laughter. 

He had heard from his nephew, Sam, many times before that this young girl was very special, but he had thought that Sam was just seeing Isabelle through rose–coloured glasses. 

Now, it seemed that he was the shallow one; this young girl was indeed special. 

“While it may be sudden, if I were to say yes, would you answer my questions?” George asked her. 

It must be said that George was exactly as rumoured–cultured, gentlemanly, and polite. 

However, at the same time, he was also rumoured the ruthless and cruel. He had a business that was half

legitimate and half not, especially the ones overseas. 

The corners of Isabelle’s mouth twitched slightly, and she uttered one word, “No” Then she added, “But I want to hear your questions.” 

“Hmm?” George’s voice trailed off, his deep, magnetic voice inexplicably alluring. 

“Tra curious how many questions you have about me” Isabelle could easily tell that George was beating around the bush. 

What is George doubting about me? Is it because he just found out that I had saved Sam, or did he also recognise that I was the person who had confronted him that night? Even if he did recognise me, I’m just a hacker. Is this worth all this fuss from the chairman of the Harris Group? 

Or is the Harris Group really in need of technical personnell 

George did not expect Isabelle him that directly. 

By this time, it was already dark and there was no light in the car. So, in the dim car, the two of them locked eyes.
