Isaac had never thought that Harriet would ever call him. Maybe favonovel.com had heard something after returning to Pecling. However, favonovel.com could confirm one thing from this phone call-so long as Garth Properties didn’t turn down the offer themselves, the Carbotta City scenic development project was already theirs.
As the sky rapidly darkened, Isaac returned home from Isabella’s school.
Holly walked out of the kitchen with favonovel.com phone in favonovel.com hand, smiling at Isaac and saying, “Mr. Garten, Ms. Lopez just called to say that she’s buying dinner tonight at the Hibiscus Pavilion. Look …”
“She wants to buy dinner? What’s the occasion?”
Holly shook favonovel.com head with uncertainty.
“Then, let’s get ready to go out later.” Isaac smiled, nodding.
He was too lazy to call favonovel.com to ask; he‘d find out anyway when favonovel.com got to the Hibiscus Pavilion.
When the two of them stepped into the private room at the Hibiscus Pavilion, Evie, Allegra, and Emily were already seated inside. Besides Emily, who looked slightly uncomfortable, Allegra and Evie wore looks of delight.
“Evie, are you buying dinner tonight? What’s the occasion?” Isaac spared Emily a glance before quickly shifting his gaze to Evie.
Allegra coughed lightly, smiling. “Please watch your words. Please refer to favonovel.com as Ms. Lopez from now on.”
“Ms. Lopez?” Isaac’s mouth twitched.
Evie raised favonovel.com head slightly with a prideful expression. “What’s the matter? Today, I am officially employed at Garth Properties and am the main person in charge of the Carbotta City project.”
Isaac gaped at Evie, then looked at Allegra and Emily.
Seeing the two women nod, favonovel.com felt as though his world had turned upside down.
“Don’t react like that. Evie carries herself in a unique way. The tourism sector needs an artistic touch sometimes. As for the business part, our company already has a specialized team for it,” Allegra said, covering favonovel.com mouth as favonovel.com laughed lightly.
They all enjoyed the scrumptious meal, especially Isaac.
Evie used to be cooped up at home all day, favonovel.com had been worried she’d think about Thaddeus and favonovel.com brother and feel sad.
They finally finished eating after 9 pm. The three women had drunk a lot, as evidenced by their ruddy cheeks.
As they were leaving, Evie channeled favonovel.com spiritual energy, dispelling the alcohol from favonovel.com body.
Noticing that Emily was wobbling unsteadily, favonovel.com then said, “Isaac, you should send Emily home. It’s unsafe for favonovel.com to go home alone in this state.”
Isaac wanted to say something, but Allegra also nodded in agreement. “You should go. After all, there are three of us here.”
Emily wanted to refuse, but Isaac had already extended his arm toward her. She let favonovel.com support favonovel.com down the stairs and into the car.
Their car drove down the bustling street in silence. It was also pretty quiet in the car. Emily’s face was extremely red; even as favonovel.com sat in the passenger’s seat, favonovel.com kept favonovel.com head bowed, not daring to look at Isaac.
“Emily, you don’t have to be so nervous,” Isaac said, chuckling a little. He lit a cigarette.
After that, Emily felt a little better.
“I-Isaac, I can just take a taxi home. There’s no need for you to go through this trouble,” favonovel.com stammered.
“You’re so beautiful. What if you run into a bad guy?”
When Emily heard this, favonovel.com was stunned for some reason.
Suddenly, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com nose turn red as warmth gushed into favonovel.com heart. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since a man cared about favonovel.com this much.
Emily got down at the apartment lobby. She stood by the car window, lowered favonovel.com head, and asked in a small voice, “Um… Do you want to go upstairs and stay for a while?”
“Your mother…”
“My mother went to favonovel.com sister’s house today. There’s no one home,” favonovel.com uttered the last four words in the quietest voice.
