Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Teasing Mr George 

The previous system George had installed was just a toy for children. With a few tweaks, Isabelle had upgraded it several levels, making it semi–autonomous. 

“D*mmit!” Isabelle cursed under her breath. 

The drone accurately flew back to the trunk. Watching the flames burning in the mountains, Isabelle confirmed the trial was successful. 

She drove away. 

As soon as Isabelle got home, George called. 

Clearly, he had listed her as the prime suspect. 

Hearing George’s voice and recalling the robot calling her wife with George’s voice, Isabelle’s expression grew complicated. 

George asked if she was responsible for the explosion. 

Grumpily, Isabelle snapped, “What does that have to do with me?” 

She hung up the phone. 

It wasn’t George’s fault, but he had to bear the brunt of her frustration. 

He held his phone and remembered what Dylan had said about girls: their moods are unpredictable. 

The next day, at the Harris Group headquarters. 

George was in a meeting when a message came through on his phone. 

The rule was to turn off phones during meetings, and their strict chairman always led by example. 

But lately, George has been messaging and even taking calls in the middle of meetings. 

George reached for his phone on the table. 

He didn’t really expect the message to come from Isabelle, given how bad her mood had been last night and how he had innocently taken the blame. 

To his surprise, it was from Isabelle. 

When George read the message, his mind went blank, short–circuiting for a rare moment. 

Thinking he must have misread, he reread the message, one word at a time. 

His body instinctively straightened, and his heart raced. 

It was her usual tone, and he understood every word. 

The message was straightforward, so direct that it made him felt awkward in front of his subordinates.

It sounded like something she would say, but could it be a typo? 

He took a deep breath. He spoke to Sam, seated to his left, without showing any emotion on his face, “You lead the meeting 

Then he grabbed his phone and hurried out. 

He looked quite urgent. 

George walked out of the elevator. He adjusted his clothes and strode out of the building. Then, he spotted Isabelle’s car. 

He opened the passenger door and sat down. Isabelle wore a calm expression as she sat in the driver’s seat. He asked, “Did you mean to send that message?” 

He was about to blurt it out but swallowed the words just in time. 

Looking at her fair cheeks and pink lips, he couldn’t suppress the urge to be intimate with the girl he liked. Without warning, he cupped her head and kissed her. 

He decided to kiss first and deal with the consequences later. 

He couldn’t take the blame if it was a mistake. At most, he’d get a cold stare, which he could accept. 

He already thought about it. 

George felt a bit like he was seizing an unexpected windfall. 

And how much he could collect depended entirely on his ability. With this mentality, he was impatient, diving in quickly and deepening the kiss. 

Isabelle’s lack of resistance, even with her hand clutching his suit, felt like a silent response. 

George’s heart fluttered, as if she were grasping more than just his clothes. 

Maybe it wasn’t a mistake? 

Her reaction gave him confidence. 

He gentled his movements, one hand cradling her head, fingers threading through her soft hair, the other pulling her close. 

George closed his eyes and fully immersed himself in the moment, feeling every bit of their intimate connection. For both of them, this seemed the best way to express their intense emotions. 

After a long while, George slowly released her. His nose rested against her warm cheek. He didn’t pull away immediately, but he brushed his lips against hers as if to comfort her. 

After he rubbed his lips against her a few more times, only then did he end the kiss. 

Isabelle turned her face away. Her hand was back on the steering wheel. Except for a slight flush and uneven breathing, she was as calm as ever. She commanded, “You can go back up now.” 

Her composed demeanour was coupled with those words.
