Chapter 756 Something Between Them
As the two chatted for nearly an hour, Isabella took numerous photos of them from a table nearby. These pictures will definitely be useful one day. Maybe I can even use them as proof that she’s cheating.
To accuse her of having an affair now is a bit of a stretch, of course, but the world will never stay the same. They might just be friends, but with a little twist of the story and the passing of some rumors, it won’t be that hard to spin a lie into a truth one day.
“It was nice talking to you today, Gary.” Amelia grinned. “I’ll call Tiff and get us all to meet up again someday. Now that we’re all caught up with our own lives, it’s not easy for everyone to reunite.” Gary nodded. “Is Tiffany married?”
“Yup. She’s married to Derrick Hisson, the head of Hisson Group. You’ve probably heard of him since you’re part of that circle.” Gary thought about it for a moment and found the name familiar.
“She’s a lucky one. It must’ve been hard for someone of her background to marry into a family like the Hissons. That’s what prominent families tend to be like. They don’t care how much money you make every year. All that matters to them is your family background.” Gary chuckled.
“Exactly!” Amelia nodded. “It’s only natural that the Hissons don’t spare a single glance at people like us. Tiff and Derrick had to go through so much just to be together. Now, they’re trying their best to have kids.”

“It’s that time, I suppose. They’re both over thirty, so the risks that come with pregnancy only get higher as they get older.”
“Enough about Tiff. You should start thinking about your future too, or you’ll be old by the time your kid is born! It’s pretty nice to have a mature companion by your side, you know?”
The man merely drank his coffee and said nothing much.
Then, they got up to leave after hanging around for another ten minutes.
Gary watched as Amelia hopped into her car and stuck her head out the open window. “I’ll see you next time, Gary.”
“Sure. See you.”
After the woman left, Gary returned to his own car and drove off.
Isabella, who had been keeping a close eye on them the whole time, hastily followed Gary in her own vehicle all the way to a security firm. The man then parked in front of the building and entered it.
Seeing that, Isabella walked in and nodded at him politely upon taking the same elevator he took.
From her stunning looks and the clothes she wore, Gary knew she was no commoner.
“Are you here to find yourself a bodyguard, miss?” he asked.
“I’ve been thinking of doing that,” Isabella replied with a smile. “A friend told me that this is the best security firm in Tayhaven, so I thought I’d drop by to take a look since I keep feeling as though I’m being followed lately. Would you happen to have any candidates you can recommend to me?”
Hearing that, Gary took out his name card and handed it to her. “This is my card. I run a security firm from the ninth to the fourteenth floor of this building. Business has been booming, so we’ve been hiring more people too. We just started renting the fourteenth floor about a year ago. We have a large number of professional bodyguards for hire as well as security wardens for residential neighborhoods—all at different prices. If you’re interested, I can show you around.”
Isabella gazed at the name card. “I’m beyond impressed, Mr. Laird. Judging from your physique, I thought you were a trainer, but it turns out you’re the owner of this security firm! Well, then, I’m in your care.”
With a nod, the man led her to his company.
Perhaps in a great mood after having met Amelia once again, he gave Isabella a tour of the workplace—something he rarely did.
All the staff members watched as their boss strolled around with a gorgeous woman. They couldn’t help wondering if she was his girlfriend.
The last time he had done this was three years ago when he brought Amelia and Tiffany over as guests. Anyone else who sought to hire bodyguards would be attended to by the manager instead. Moreover, given how much the company had grown in the past three years, such an impromptu tour was virtually impossible now.
It wasn’t long until Gary walked over with Isabella and summoned the manager.
“Mr. Sanchez, this is Ms. Walker. She’s looking for a few bodyguards, so could you give her some recommendations? I have some matters to take care of.”
With a nod, the manager took over the duties.
Isabella lost interest the moment Gary left. Fortunately, her phone just so happened to ring, so she took the call.
