Chapter TwelveGROCERY STORE"Isabella!" Kim had to scream her name, she was sitting beside her phone but for some reason, she was lost in thought."Isabella, are you there?" Kim said trying to see beyond the camera but it was impossible."Y--Yeah," she picked up the phone revealing her face. "Sorry about that.""Are you alright? You were out for a minute," Kim said worriedly."Yes, what were you saying?" Isabella seems dazed"Did Charlotte say something? Did she threaten you?" Kim inquired knowing what Charlotte was capable of."No, I am not worried about her. Let's stop talking about that, what's going on in the company?" Isabella changed the topic."Are you sure you don't want to quit this?" Kim said worriedly. "We are holding a meeting on Friday, you have to be in attendance.""I will be there," She agreed."It won't be here, it is at the sock branch in New Jersey," Kim said."Book an early flight.""Alright, see you soon," Kim giggled."Sounds like you miss me," Isabella muttered

Chapter FourteenMEETING CHRIS"Prepare for your dinner? You can just do that at my place," David said and she bit her lips in realization, she must be dumb to come up with such a lame excuse."Yes, yes you are right, I was not thinking," she laughed awkwardly but he joined anyway.Isabella took her lips in as she tried to come up with a new excuse, she probably couldn't be caught it was too early. He does not love her yet, he is going to hate her more if he finds out."Umm--- I feel tired from the game, I want to rest. It will be stressful going from your place to mine." Isabella smiled inwardly at how smart she was, of course, she is smart. She runs a billion-dollar company it would be ruined if she were some idiot."Oh, I didn't know. I will drop you off at your place," David's expression turned sad, he didn't just want her to cook, he wanted to spend time with her and he had no better way of doing that."What about your arm? You still need a massage," Isabella said touching it gen

Chapter SixteenIsabella got to work earlier than usual, she was leaving for New Jersey the next day. She could barely sleep a win as what could be up with David clouded her mind.About an hour later David stepped into the gallery. "Good morning," he greeted."Morning," Isabella didn't spare him a glance, she had her gaze fixed on her drawing book. Though she was dying to see his face all she could do was devote her attention to the image she was trying to create.She was finally getting the hang of drawing, once she learns to paint it will all be perfect hopefully David will be in love with her then."I will be painting the room," he walked away, Isabella exhaled deeply as she raised her head, ignoring him was hard. She fears she has hurt him.David could not concentrate in the painting room, he was holding the brush but all he could think of was Isabella's happy face. However, he has not seen that since they left Chris's place.He let his jealousy control him, he hated how free Isab

Chapter EighteenLOVESICKKim pulled over in front of Isabella's apartment. "Hey," Kim smiled through the window."You are late," Isabella frowned as she got into the car."I apologize," Kim muttered while Isabella picked up the magazine lying on the seat."You should read this instead," She passed her the proposal and a file containing all there is to know about the company. "Afterward you can tell me about handsome Chris and jealous David.""There is nothing much to talk about," Isabella took the proposal and began to scan through it."Did something happen? I think something did happen and I want to know about it," She said taking the files from her."Kim," Isabella turned to her with a displeased expression."Spill it," Kim muttered dramatically."David hates rich people, he says they take advantage of the poor," Isabella heaved a sigh."That's it?" Kim didn't seem bothered."What do you mean that's it? I am rich, what if he hates me when he finds out?"Kim pulled her closer pattin

OLD FRIENDKim unaware of who the lady was prevented her from hugging Isabella, Isabella who was equally confused stood there staring at her. She could not remember knowing her, and the lady was dressed in a cleaners' uniform. She was not sure she was acquainted with anyone of such status."Isabella it's me, Erin," the lady said touching her chest, Isabella still found it hard to remember who she was but she forced a smile not to make her feel awkward. Lots of people were staring."Erin, Hi," she smiled making Kim furrow her brows in confusion."Yeah, you remember me," Erin laughed happily, she would have been buried in embarrassment if she pushed her away, by now people had attention on their business.Seeing there was less attention on them Isabella suggested they go outside. "Let's talk better outside, you are not busy are you?""No, I am free. You look good," Erin giggled while Isabella scoffed mentally, she has always looked good.Kim followed silently, she could read through Isa
