“Hmm?” Magnus paused, withdrawing his hand once more. Indeed, favonovel.com had been suffering from chronic headaches and sleeping problems.
“Does this stuff really work that well? Let me see…” Arlo reached out to take it. But Magnus quickly pocketed it.
Isabelle followed Melissa and Danny to a quieter spot.
Seizing the opportunity, Melissa asked, “Isabelle, what does Mr. Carter like or enjoy?”
Isabelle replied, “He enjoys challenges, in any form… People, events, cases, things, everything.”
Melissa immediately guessed, “Rock climbing? Paragliding?”
Isabelle seriously questioned, “Where’s the challenge in that?”
Melissa deflated and asked, “Those aren’t challenging enough, huh?”
Danny chimed in, “Sis, you’re too naive. If the mafia played with that stuff, our ordinary entertainment would be mundane in comparison.”
Melissa shot favonovel.com a glare and chided, “Shut up!”
Seeing Melissa’s lovesick expression, Isabelle asked, “Didn’t you enjoy talking with him?”
Melissa sighed. “No, I enjoyed it too much.”
Isabelle was puzzled.
Melissa was on the verge of tears as favonovel.com explained, “He’s just as gentlemanly and courteous as favonovel.com is in class, occasionally even humorous, but there’s always this sense of distance. I think favonovel.com only humored me because of you. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t have bothered…”
“My professional knowledge isn’t on his level; we’re not even in the same league. I can’t keep asking favonovel.com questions because I feel favonovel.com wouldn’t like someone so much weaker than him.”
Hearing that, Isabelle was at a loss.
Danny suggested, “Sis, why not join his gang? That’d give you something to talk about.”
Melissa kicked favonovel.com and chided, “Go to hell!”
Danny grimaced in pain and protested, “Why not? It’s a good idea.”
Isabelle remarked, “Joining his law firm might be a better idea.”
Danny realized and agreed, “Oh, right. That’s much safer.”
After venting favonovel.com frustrations, Melissa went to greet some friends who had arrived.
Danny pulled out his phone to admire the photos before showing them to Isabelle. He asked, “Boss, did you see that Koenigsegg One:1 at the entrance? Look at the body, the door design, and here. It’s my dream car! I saw it as soon as I got out of the car!”
Isabelle glanced at the photo, which was of Danny posing with the car. She could see favonovel.com had taken a selfie, striking a silly yet showy pose.
“I got up close and personal with it. Even the gas smells good! It’s awesome! I wonder whose car it is,” Danny said, scanning the guests in the hall.
As favonovel.com was speculating, Isabelle tossed something in front of him.
Danny looked down and exclaimed, “Huh? What… Whoa!”
He quickly glanced at Isabelle, then back at the keys on the table, then at Isabelle again.
“Boss, you aren’t kidding, right? Is this a lighter?!”
Given Isabelle’s silence, Danny took a deep breath, hurriedly put down his phone, stood up, and wiped his hands on his clothes.
Carefully picking up the car key, favonovel.com pressed it lightly.
“No way! It’s real!” Danny exclaimed.
His heart was racing. He glanced at the door, eager to rush out, and pressed the key a few times to hear the car’s sound.
Suppressing his excitement, Danny asked, “Did you borrow this car, or…”
Isabelle replied, “I bought it…”
Danny’s eyes widened in disbelief, and favonovel.com asked, “You bought it? When did you buy it? This was released in 2014. You were still a kid back then, right? How did you get it? There are only six of these worldwide; it’s not just about money!”
Isabelle asked, “Do you like it?”
Hearing Isabelle’s question, Danny clenched the car key in his hand, looking at favonovel.com expectantly and nodding.
Isabelle said, “If you like it, take a good look at it.”
The abrupt turn of conversation left Danny speechless.
“No, Boss. Let’s take it for a spin. Just one lap. If you ever need my help with anything, I’ll do whatever you need. Boss, please! Just one lap.” Danny clung to Isabelle’s arm, begging and pleading to take the car for a spin. He glanced towards the door with the eagerness of a child eager to play.
Suddenly a tall imposing figure walked in causing Danny to curse under his breath.
Damn! Why is favonovel.com here?!
His expression changed instantly.
“See that guy? It’s the tallest one. That’s George Harris. He’s the current head of the Harris Group. Remember Bella boasting about favonovel.com cousin’s engagement? That’s him!”
Isabelle looked over and met George’s gaze.
“He’s looking at us, don’t look at him! You won’t be able to sleep tonight,” Danny warned, feeling uneasy in George’s presence.
