Chapter 197

Ana cued and meched upstairs to fetch the discomments, her belt potmiling as if they might erk the floor. Even after walking quite a distance, Tabita could still hear her high heels clicking against the tiles.

Isabella smirked slightly. She thought, The flowers Jayden sent are completely useless. Hasn’t Jenisa always been proud of snatching Jayden! Now, let’s see what Ivana has to be so smug about. What a jerk, and she treats him like a trauma.

Throughout the day, Isabella worked under everyone’s strange airs until she finished. She stood up and stretched her stiff neck. While gathering her things, Laura looked at Isabella and said, “Ms. Stout, let’s go, the day is over.” She packed everything up, locked the documents securely in the drawer beneath her desk, and then stood in front of Isabella with a smile. Isabella nodded without refusing. “Yeah.” The two of them walked out together.

Others gradually finished packing and headed downstairs. At the entrance of the Stour Group, the designers, who were chatting and laughing as they finished work, were suddenly drawn to the Maybach that appeared by the roadside. They all paused, slightly open-mouthed, looking at the luxurious car with awe and envy.

“Wow, whose fancy car is this?”

“No idea, but it must be super expensive, starting at least at 20 thousand dollars.”

“Oh wow, I’m so jealous; I want one too.”

Even Laura stopped in her tracks when she saw the car, excitedly tugging on Isabella’s arm, “Ms. Stout, look at that car…” She hadn’t finished her sentence when her eyes widened in amazement, “Oh wow, that guy is so handsome.”

Isabella followed Laura’s gaze, and when her eyes landed on the car, she stopped in her tracks. She thought, ‘Samuel? Why is he here?’

Just then, the car door opened. Samuel, wearing a tailored gray and white plaid suit, appeared with his deep-set eyes, high-bridged nose, and well-defined jawline. His thin lips were pressed tightly together, sending out a “keep your distance” vibe as his long legs stepped elegantly out of the car, radiating an aura of sophistication and authority. Such stunning looks left many people gasping in astonishment.

Ivana and her friends, including Jenny, had just come downstairs and saw this scene. Ivana immediately recognized the man from Night Charm, and as she saw the luxury car behind him, her expression darkened, and she clenched her lips tightly. She thought, He actually owns such an expensive luxury car! Last time, he even took Isabella to a very expensive restaurant for dinner. Who is he? There’s no way just any guy could afford that.

But the other employees were puzzled. “Who is this guy? Oh my gosh, he’s so good-looking! I would lose a boyfriend like that, even if it cost me ten years of my life!”

“You! Stop dreaming!”

Amidst everyone staring, Isabella slowly walked over. With Laura in a daze, she quickly grabbed her arm. “Ms. Stout, what are you doing? That man isn’t someone we can afford to offend.”

Melanie couldn’t help but snicker and mutter, “See a good-looking guy and can’t help but rush over? Not even checking if you match up.”

In an instant, all eyes were on Isabella. But Isabella didn’t even glance at Melanie. She just smiled at Laura, “He’s here to pick me up. I’ll be going now.”

Laura’s eyes widened in shock, “You… You can’t mean that good-looking guy is here for you!” She saw clearly that Isabella was heading straight toward that good-looking guy…

Isabella just gave a light smile and walked over toward Samuel. Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. They thought, ‘Is this man here for Isabella? So, was the bouquet this morning from him?’

As they were still confused, Perry stepped out of the driver’s seat and handed a bouquet of red Ecuadorian roses to Samuel, and everyone understood.

Isabella watched Samuel walk towards her step by step. Instinctively, she glanced at the people around her, all looking surprised and envious. She couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of her nose. She thought, ‘Since when did he become so flamboyant?’ But as long as it was Samuel, she didn’t seem to mind.

Samuel walked up to Isabella, handed her the bouquet, and finally said, “Let’s go.” Isabella took the flowers and sniffed them lightly, the pleasant scent lifting her spirits. She looked at Samuel, smiled slightly, and asked, “Didn’t you already send flowers this morning?” This statement confirmed the crowd’s guess. Their gazes towards Isabella changed. They thought, ‘Who exactly is this man?’ With this display, it is clear he is pursuing Isabella. Rich and handsome, Isabella is really living the dream, isn’t she?

Samuel not only sent flowers regularly but also picked her up from work in a luxury car. It was practically a loud declaration of his love for her. Such treatment was something many women could only dream of.

Samuel looked at Isabella, his brows slightly furrowed, and asked, “Don’t you like it?” He thought, If she doesn’t like it, I’ll just have to change my approach next time.

Isabella tilted her head slightly, her eyes shining as she looked at Samuel. She shook her head gently and said with a soft smile, “No, I really like it.” When she was with Jayden before, their relationship was always kept hidden, fearing others would find out. But to her surprise, Samuel, known for his aloofness, was willing to do this for her. He was letting everyone know that she belonged to him. Isabella loved this kind of special attention, the surprises, and the romance. However, being the center of attention made Isabella, usually calm and collected, feel a bit at a loss.

Samuel’s expression softened, and he gave a slight smile. “Let’s go,” he said. He walked towards his Maybach.

Suddenly, Isabella stopped and shouted to Samuel, “What about my car…?” She needed to drive it to work tomorrow morning. Even though there were other cars at home, she was used to driving this one and would find it awkward to switch suddenly.

“Perry, drive her car back,” Samuel interrupted Isabella before she could finish. Perry immediately stepped forward, nodded to Samuel, and said, “Alright.” He bent respectfully toward Isabella again and said, “Ms. Stout, could you please give me the car keys?”

Isabella smiled gently, giving him the keys. In the next moment, Samuel held her hand, leading her to the passenger seat, making Isabella softly smile. This scene made many onlookers take a sharp breath. They thought, ‘Did he succeed in winning her over?’

Samuel opened the car door for her, courteously shielding her head with his hand to make sure she didn’t bump it. After Isabella got in the car, he walked around to the driver’s seat. Seeing this scene, Ivana’s jealousy soared. She thought, ‘No way; I definitely can’t let this man leave just like that. Who exactly is he?’

Ivana moved faster than she thought, stepping forward to go after him. Everyone instinctively looked at Ivana, wondering if she was going to say hello.

Ivana, slightly out of breath, walked up to the car and looked at Samuel who had just put on his seatbelt. With a gentle smile, she asked, “Hi, do you remember me?”

Samuel didn’t even glance at her. Instead, he turned slightly to look at Isabella and softly said, “Let’s put this in the back.” He took the bouquet that Isabella was holding and placed it in the back seat of the car.

Chapter 197

Jeann’s teeth froze. She thought, How can this damned man… Unwilling to give up, she sweetly turned to Isabella and said, “Be… would be thrilled to know…” Today, she just had to find out who this man really was. She thought, He is so mysterious! With the wealth he is showing… Even the Logue family doesn’t have a Maybach, and Jayden is… Why is Isabella so lucky to end up with such a powerful man?
