Chapter 411
— Don’t mention his name in front of me. He’s a total beast,’ I scoffed and told Isabella what happened between us in the pavilion.
‘No way! Richard doesn’t seem like that kind of person!
Upset, I chided with a question: ‘Do you trust me or that stinking idiot?’
‘Of course, I believe you, but at the same time, I don’t think Richard is such a person. Could there be a misunderstanding in between?
‘I am telling you this responsibly. There is no misunderstanding between us, and he is just a hypocrite! I won’t accept his company building project even if he personally comes to offer it to me, much more will I beg him for it.’
‘Alright, then let’s think of other ways. I can’t believe that bitch Jolene is so influential! Knowing my personality, Isabella changed the subject instead of trying to persuade me. ‘I saw that Dylan looked upset earlier. What happened?’
‘Practically nothing. It’s just that he had a little falling out with Eric.
At that moment, my cell phone rang and I saw that it was actually a text message from Eric. “Have you left already?”
I simply gave him a one word answer, ‘Yes.’
I have to explain about the dress – it wasn’t like they said. Before that, I never thought of doing a custom design for anyone. It doesn’t matter who uses it, because I just love to draw.
Was he explaining about the dress? But that didn’t bother me, so I replied, ‘I understand’.
‘The dress you wore that day was not a defective garment. I just made some adjustments.
I’m not bothered by it, so you don’t have to explain yourself.
Since he’d already explained himself before, and I wasn’t the least bit bothered by the dress issue, there was absolutely no need for him to clarify again now.
‘You are angry?’
‘No, why should I?’
After a short pause, his message came again. “Then why aren’t you angry?”
I couldn’t help but sneer. ‘You are crazy? Are you happy that I’m angry?
‘Who’s that?’ Isabella asked, cocking her head at me from the steering wheel.
‘Eric.’
“Are you seeing him again?”
‘What do you mean? We never have sex, okay!’ I refuted with a guilty conscience.
‘How can you have the nerve to say that? Then explain how you got the jacket on you. Fell from the sky?
“It was Richard who brought this to me.
‘Why would he do that out of the blue?’
‘Well, he was feeling guilty for saying those nasty things to me, or maybe it was Kevin who asked him to do that.’

Chapter 411
‘Your intelligence is worrying to me. First of all, Kevin didn’t know you were out there, and if he wants to show his concern, he’ll bring the jacket himself instead of bothering his own brother. Also, I saw Eric come looking for Richard, and then Richard left.
Suddenly, she slammed on the brakes and asked, ‘Be honest and tell me, what happened between you and Eric out there tonight?’
Stunned, my face turned scarlet and I stammered, ‘I…’
Giving me a look, Isabella reached over and pulled the jacket off of me. ‘Lilian Hawkins, did you cheat?’
