George did not mind but rather admired Isabelle. He politely said, “I apologize for my presumption…”
“You weren’t presumptuous, you were audacious to the point of absurdity,” Isabelle muttered to herself.
Then favonovel.com stood up and said, “I’m not staying for dinner. There will be another chance in the future…”
“But the meal is almost ready.” Magnus also stood up and asked hurriedly, “Are you rushing back to Norward City?”
“Yes,” Isabelle didn’t explain.
She accepted Magnus’s warm invitation simply because of his identity. When favonovel.com heard the young assistant call favonovel.com Mr. Burton at the entrance of the mall, favonovel.com guessed who Magnus was.
She did not care for herself, but Ethan would also take the entrance exam for Taragon University in the future. So favonovel.com decided to take the opportunity to pave the way for Ethan and getting to know the principal of Taragon University was a good deal.
But this meal…
She glanced at George without showing any emotion.
“Well, since you’re in a hurry, I won’t insist on keeping you. Can you give me your contact number?”
“No need, I will definitely go to Taragon University. I’ll see you on September 1st.” After Isabelle finished speaking, favonovel.com declined Magnus’s offer to see favonovel.com off, picked up favonovel.com things, and left.
Magnus greatly admired Isabelle’s calmness and the confidence and composure that emanated from her. Despite being refused, Magnus still had his assistant escort favonovel.com out.
George watched Isabelle for a while. After that, favonovel.com looked down and noticed the prescription on the table.
He picked it up. The handwriting on the paper was elegant and flowing.
This handwriting looks familiar…
George asked, “Is this…”
Magnus looked over. “It’s the prescription favonovel.com wrote for me.”
George looked at the prescription for a moment. After that, favonovel.com put it down and stood up.
Seeing favonovel.com stand up and straighten his clothes, Magnus asked, “What? Are you leaving too? Won’t you stay and have a meal with me?”
“Next time. I’ll go and see favonovel.com off for you.” After George finished speaking, favonovel.com walked away.
“See off? Who?” Magnus was puzzled.
At this moment, the assistant came over with a phone. “Mr. Burton, it’s from the school…”
Magnus took the phone and put it to his ear. He heard the excited voice on the other end, “Magnus, come quickly! The genius who answered the questions on the forum has appeared, and she’s in our school now!”
When Isabelle left, favonovel.com saw a black Maybach parked at the door.
After walking a few steps, favonovel.com suddenly stopped. Then, favonovel.com turned back, walked around to the back of the car, and looked at the license plate.
[Taragon A0000]… Was it George in the car that day?
Or was it Sam? Or were they both there?
Isabelle had clearly felt that the person in the car was watching favonovel.com that day, so favonovel.com was sure that the car had come to favonovel.com house for her.
Isabelle picked up favonovel.com things and left.
Before favonovel.com could hail a taxi, the black Maybach stopped beside her.
Dylan got out of the driver’s seat, opened the back door, and said to Isabelle, “Miss Jenkins, Sir would like to see you off on behalf of Mr. Burton. Please get in the car…”
Isabelle glanced at Dylan, then looked into the car. She could only see the man’s long, trouser–clad legs and the shiny black leather shoes beneath them.
After a moment’s thought, Isabelle handed the large bag of medicinal herbs to Dylan.
Caught off guard, Dylan quickly held it. As favonovel.com watched Isabelle get into the car, favonovel.com thought to himself. She has no manners at all…
Dylan closed the car door for favonovel.com and put the large bag of things in the passenger seat.
“Be careful. Those are not cheap,” Isabelle reminded him.
If favonovel.com had not been short of money, favonovel.com would not have taken the two ginsengs worth 450 thousand from Mr. Garth for free. She could only wait until favonovel.com had money to pay favonovel.com back.
“Okay…” Even though Dylan said that, favonovel.com wondered how expensive it could be.
Dylan got in the car and asked, “Miss Jenkins, where should I take you?”
Isabelle said, “Horton Hotel.”
Horton Hotel? How extravagant!
The minimum cost for a night’s stay is 15 thousand dollars. I’m afraid favonovel.com has already spent most of the 150 thousand Sam gave her.
After that, favonovel.com asked, “Are you going back to get your luggage?”
Isabelle had just said at Mr. Burton’s house that favonovel.com was rushing back to Norward City. So, Dylan thought favonovel.com would say something like the airport or the high–speed rail station.
“Yes…” Isabelle did not feel like explaining more. After all, favonovel.com did not expect George to be so free as to take favonovel.com to the hotel to pick up favonovel.com luggage and then kin take favonovel.com to the airport.
However, George saw through Isabelle’s perfunctory attitude.
Dylan started the engine, and the black Maybach gradually disappeared into the traffic.
“Miss Jenkins, did you come all the way to Taragon City to buy so much medicine because there’s a sick person at home?” George initiated the conversation.
“Sort of… Those medicines are for my brother to use for foot baths…”
Foot baths?
Dylan’s facial features twitched uncontrollably. Then, favonovel.com glanced sideways at the large bag of medicinal herbs next to him.
She’s using expensive medicinal herbs for a foot bath? What did favonovel.com mean by “sort of“? Is it for fun or is there an actual sick person?!
“Mr. Burton’s illness is a chronic one and it’s hereditary. Previously, Mr. Garth of Maven Apothecary would help favonovel.com alleviate it with acupunctures, but that’s only a temporary solution. From what Mr. Burton just said, it seems that you must have some knowledge of acupuncture and medical skills. It’s quite impressive for someone as young as you to have such achievements. I wonder if your medical skills and acupuncture knowledge are self–taught or…”
“It’s self–taught. I was just experimenting.”
She’s just experimenting and favonovel.com dares to perform acupuncture on people, and even curing them? Either she’s a modest genius, or she’s blatantly lying, Dylan thought.
George naturally noticed that Isabelle did not want to talk much, and favonovel.com had always been a gentleman who knew how to behave, but today favonovel.com chose not to.
So, favonovel.com continued to ask, “Miss Jenkins, you should be in your senior year of high school, right? Are you studying science or humanities? Are you very interested in computers?”
Unexpectedly, Isabelle replied, “Mr. Harris, are you very interested in me?”
Isabelle rested favonovel.com elbow on the car window with favonovel.com hand supporting favonovel.com head and looked at George with a smile that was not quite genuine. Her overall demeanor was incredibly casual and relaxed, yet there was a hint of sharpness, like an iron fist in a velvet glove. At the same time, favonovel.com tone intentionally carried a touch of playfulness.
Dylan, who was driving in front, almost choked on his own saliva.
The young girl is teasing Boss! No, judging by favonovel.com tone, she’s flirting with him!
George burst into laughter. He had heard from his nephew, Sam, many times before that this young girl was very special, but favonovel.com had thought that Sam was just seeing Isabelle through rose–coloured glasses. Now, it seemed that favonovel.com was the shallow one, this young girl was indeed special.
“While it may be sudden, if I were to say yes, would you answer my questions?” George asked her.
It must be said that George was exactly as rumored–cultured, gentlemanly, and polite. However, at the same time, favonovel.com was also rumored the ruthless and cruel. He had a business that was half legitimate and half not, especially the ones overseas.
The corners of Isabelle’s mouth twitched slightly, and favonovel.com uttered one word, “No…” Then favonovel.com added, “But I want to hear your questions.”
“Hmm?” George’s voice trailed off, his deep, magnetic voice inexplicably alluring.
“I am curious how many questions you have about me…” Isabelle could easily tell that George was beating around the bush.
What is George doubting about me? Is it because favonovel.com just found out that I had saved Sam, or did favonovel.com also recognise that I was the person who had confronted favonovel.com that night?
Even if favonovel.com did recognize me, I’m just a hacker. Is this worth all this fuss from the chairman of the Harris Group?
Or is the Harris Group really in need of technical personnel?
George did not expect Isabelle favonovel.com that directly.
***
By this time, it was already dark and there was no light in the car. So, in the dim car, the two of them locked eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At that moment, a red light caused the car to stop. Then, the car was illuminated as Dylan turned on the light. The features of the two individuals became clear and bright in an instant, and everything was exposed.
Dylan in the front sensed that something was amiss. However, before favonovel.com could turn around to look, at Lamborghini sports car stopped next to their car like a speeding arrow, its brakes screeching loudly. The sports car was also blaring heavy metal music.
Dylan furrowed his brow and glanced at the sports car next to him, just in time to make eye contact with the driver. Yet, Dylan did not get a good look and quickly averted his gaze.
Suddenly, the music stopped, and then a few excited shouts came from the sports car, “Hey, hey, hey!”
Dylan looked over again and saw that the driver of the sports car was enthusiastically waving at them.
No, favonovel.com was waving at Isabelle… Is this favonovel.com friend?
Dylan looked back at Isabelle.
“Hey! It’s me, it’s me!” The driver of the sports car saw that Isabelle was ignoring favonovel.com and leaned out of the car in his eagerness.
Only then did Dylan realize that this was none other than the beloved grandson of the Holmes family, Danny.
Does Isabelle know him?
George, who also recognized Danny raised his eyes, somewhat surprised that Isabelle knew the Holmes family.
“Is that your friend?” George asked.
Isabelle’s car window was open, so favonovel.com glanced at Danny, who was so excited that favonovel.com seemed about to jump out of the car
“Hey, hey, hey, do you remember me? It’s me!” Danny could not believe favonovel.com had run into Isabelle in Taragon City.
It had only been a short while since they last saw each other, but favonovel.com had lost so much weight and become so much more beautiful that favonovel.com did not dare to call out to her.
“I don’t know him…” Isabelle silently withdrew favonovel.com hand from the car window and rolled up the window.
