Isabelle glanced at him. “Murder and arson, are you up for it?”
Danny chuckled. “Come on, Boss, you really know how to joke!”
Just then, Danny’s sister, Melissa, showed up. She said, “Isabelle, I’m Melissa, Danny’s sister. Nice to meet you”
Isabelle sized favonovel.com up.
So, she’s the one Danny talked about, the girl who’s not into George?
Then favonovel.com reached out for a handshake.
Danny said, “What brings you…”
Melissa said, “Shut up! This doesn’t concern you. I’m talking with Isabelle. You can go chill elsewhere!”
Melissa spoke fast, favonovel.com expression blank, but favonovel.com quickly switched back to a smile as favonovel.com looked at Isabelle before asking, “Isabelle, if you don’t mind me asking, are you… Are you friends with Lawyer Jim?”
Isabelle. “Yeah…”
Melissa clenched favonovel.com fists, “Awesome!”
Isabelle asked, “Do you need something?”
“It’s like this… I…” Seeing Danny still there, Melissa glared at him, “Can you step aside? Adults are talking. children should stay out of it!”
Danny pointed at Isabelle, unwilling to back down, “She’s even younger than me.”
Under Melissa’s fierce gaze, Danny fell silent and quietly moved aside.
“Uhm, is Mr. Carter still in Taragon City?”
“No…”
Upon hearing this, a visible pang of disappointment crossed Melissa’s eyes.
Afterwards, Melissa rattled on, speaking subtly but filled with admiration and adoration for Jim in every word and between the lines.
As Melissa took a moment to catch favonovel.com breath, Isabelle cut in, asking, “Do you have feelings for him?”
Melissa was taken aback, not expecting Isabelle to be so straightforward.
Blushing slightly at the straightforward question from a student several years favonovel.com junior, Melissa glanced briefly at Danny nearby to ensure favonovel.com wasn’t listening in. Then, favonovel.com lifted a hand to tuck a strand of hair behind favonovel.com ear.
“Would Mr. Carter be into someone like me?”
Before Isabelle could reply, favonovel.com continued, “Is favonovel.com single? What were his past girlfriends like?”
Isabelle answered, “He’s single. He’s never had a girlfriend before.”
As for the year or two when favonovel.com was out of touch, favonovel.com wasn’t sure about that.
Melissa’s eyes widened, and favonovel.com quickly covered favonovel.com mouth, unable to hide favonovel.com excitement.
Never been in a relationship? Despite being so impressive, he’s kept himself pure… What a treasure!
Frowning at favonovel.com reaction, Isabelle fell silent for a moment.
What kind of reaction is this?
Then favonovel.com clarified, “Well… He’s never had a boyfriend either…”
Melissa exclaimed, “Huh?”
Realizing Isabelle misunderstood her, Melissa couldn’t help but smile wryly, “That’s not what I meant, I’m just surprised…”
Then favonovel.com found herself in another dilemma, “Does favonovel.com have high standards? Can I ask you for his contact information?”
After blurting it out, favonovel.com hastily waved favonovel.com hands, “If you think it’s too bold, just forget I said anything.”
Melissa smiled, indicating it was okay if it was inconvenient.
Taking a look at the lovely, intelligent, and cheerful Melissa, Isabelle thought they seemed quite compatible in terms of appearance, status, and interests.
Just a casual favor… Who knows, it might lead to something positive in the end.
Isabelle said, “Sure…”
Melissa’s face lit up with surprise. She hurriedly took out favonovel.com phone and saved Jim’s private contact information.
Before favonovel.com could even express favonovel.com gratitude, Isabelle gave favonovel.com a heads–up. “You should be aware of his position. If you’re thinking of pursuing him, you need to be mentally prepared…”
Melissa nodded. “I got it. Thanks, Isabelle!”
Isabelle said, “No need to thank me. Heard you had a bit of a history with George?”
Lost in favonovel.com excitement, Melissa didn’t quite catch it, “Who?”
Isabelle said, “It’s nothing…”
Not finding George appealing, but rather being interested in Jim, is it because Jim is two years younger?
Melissa said, “Isabelle, if I manage to win Mr. Carter’s heart, I’ll invite you as an honored guest to a grand feast.
“You’re pursuing Jim?!” Danny appeared out of nowhere.
His booming voice startled Melissa causing favonovel.com to scream and accidentally fling favonovel.com phone away “My phone!”
Isabelle reached out and caught the phone skillfully, then handed it back to her.
Melissa took favonovel.com phone, then turned to glare fiercely at Danny, who fearlessly added, “I don’t agree!”
Melissa yelled, “You don’t agree? Who cares! Mind your own business! If you dare tell anyone at home, you’re in big trouble!”
Isabelle glanced at Melissa chasing after Danny, then texted Jim about it.
Upon landing. Jim chuckled when favonovel.com found out Isabelle had played a matchmaker for him. He immediately replied that favonovel.com wasn’t interested.
***
During the National Day holiday, in a mall, George took the lift down from upstairs while Dylan trailed behind, carrying bags full of stuff hanging all over him, even around his neck.
As favonovel.com pondered what else to buy, favonovel.com caught a familiar voice from below.
“You’ve arranged these wines improperly. We can only accept half of the compensation at most, or else we’ll report it to the police.”
