“Dad, Mom, you’re so thoughtful.” Isabella was touched.
“My dear, you’re my daughter. I’ll always be thoughtful to you,” Elaine said softly.
“It’s late. You must be tired. Go and get some rest.”
“Okay.”
Afterward, Isabella and Andrew stepped outside. “Be careful on your way back,” Isabella said as they stood at her gate.
“Okay, but there’s no need to worry.” Andrew gazed at her affectionately, then looked toward a villa nearby and said, “That’s my place.”
Isabella fell silent. She had been surprised so many times today that she couldn’t express her shock at the moment. It just goes to show that the wealthy really can do as they please.
After bidding farewell, Isabella headed back inside. Her master bedroom was neat and inviting. As she lay on the bed, she received a call from Jared.
“Boss, why didn’t you go to the house I bought for you?”
“My boyfriend bought one for me.”
“Your boyfriend?” Jared was taken aback. “Boss, do you have a boyfriend? Who is he?”
“It’s a secret.”
“No way, I don’t believe it. No man is good enough for you. In all of Ansport, only Andrew Klein would be a match!” Jared was clearly distressed. He didn’t want his boss to settle for just anyone.
“If it’s him,” Isabella said, smiling.
Jared was stunned for a moment. “Really? It’s Andrew? Well… But now, I don’t think even Andrew is worthy of you.”
Isabella rolled her eyes playfully and said, “Make sure you get to bed early.”
“Boss, don’t forget to drop by the office when you can. We have a lot of important decisions that need your input.” Jared urged seriously.
Isabella responded briefly and then ended the call.
The next day, she first visited the Ansport branch of Edge Entertainment. This office was bigger than the one in Gemond. Several artists who had been with the company in Gemond had also transferred here, finding more suitable opportunities.
In the morning, Isabella was busy in meetings, discussing the future direction of the company. The senior leaders present were aware of Isabella’s background and accomplishments, and they held her in high regard.
A major focus for the company was resource consolidation.
“I arrived in Ansport early and am now familiar with the local corporate landscape. Our first step should be to build a strong relationship with Homelight Enterprise,” one of the directors suggested, mentioning a name that caught Isabella’s attention—it was her own company.
The director continued, “Homelight Enterprise owns several prominent brands. A good relationship with them could make resource acquisition much easier for us.” The others in the meeting nodded in agreement.
Isabella appeared deep in thought.
Later that afternoon, receiving a call from Jared, Isabella reluctantly agreed to visit her company after finishing her workday. Work ended at six o’clock here, too.
Isabella drove the company car to Homelight Enterprise. Homelight Enterprise, along with Klein Group and a few other influential companies, were all located in the central business district. Raising her eyebrows, Isabella was pleasantly surprised to see that her company was performing better than she had anticipated.
She parked the car and took the elevator straight to Jared’s office on the top floor, using her access card. Stepping out of the elevator, she was greeted by a voice saying, “Hello, are you here to see Mr. Cooper?”
The secretary at the front desk greeted Isabella.
Isabella nodded in response.
“Have you made an appointment?”
“No, just let him know that Isabella is here to see him,” Isabella instructed.
“Okay.” Just as the secretary was about to relay the message, a scornful voice chimed in. “Really, do you think you’re someone important?”
Isabella turned around to find a familiar face—it was indeed a small world. Unexpectedly, she encountered Tatiana there. Tatiana and her assistant were seated, apparently waiting.
Tatiana’s assistant was taken aback to see Isabella here. She remembered Isabella’s presumptuous behavior on the plane and was displeased. She also knew that Tatiana didn’t like Isabella either.
Taking the opportunity, she sneered and said to the secretary, “Mr. Cooper is extremely busy. You should really remove this woman quickly before she causes a scene and drags you into trouble.”
The secretary hesitated, assessing Isabella. While Isabella was undoubtedly attractive, she wasn’t dressed in luxury brands, which made the secretary suspicious of her intentions.
The secretary’s demeanor turned stern. “Miss, if you don’t have an appointment, you’ll need to leave.”
“I’ve informed Mr. Cooper of my visit. He’s expecting me,” Isabella said.
“You’re so funny. How could you lie like that?” Tatiana’s assistant scoffed loudly. “Who do you think you are? Who is Mr. Cooper to you? Can just anyone meet with him? Are you here to seduce him?”
Her words only solidified the secretary’s suspicion that there was something amiss with Isabella. Indeed, not just anyone had the right to see Jared.

“I’m sorry, miss, but you’ll need to leave now, or we will have to escort you out,” the secretary said firmly.
“I’m going to wait for Mr. Cooper. You can check with him when he gets out of his meeting,” Isabella replied, unfazed, knowing the secretary was merely doing her job.
To Isabella’s surprise, the secretary sized her up and scoffed, “Ah, you’re quite attractive. Trying to use your looks to charm Mr. Cooper, are you? Unfortunately, he isn’t so easily swayed. You should leave now.”
Isabella didn’t expect the secretary would say so. A secretary’s behavior could reflect on the company’s image. It appeared Jared was too preoccupied to properly supervise his staff.
Since she was already here, Isabella thought she might as well address this issue.
“Fine, I’ll leave. But you might find yourself having to invite me back soon,” Isabella retorted, arching an eyebrow.
The secretary scoffed at the idea. “Really? You think you deserve that?” She was, after all, Mr. Cooper’s secretary!
With a knowing glance, Isabella warned, “Just remember what you said.” She then turned and left.
Tatiana’s assistant sneered again, “See, she left, tail between her legs.”
Seeing Isabella go, Tatiana allowed herself a satisfied smile.
They resumed their wait for Jared.
Five minutes later, the elevator doors opened, and Jared stepped out, dressed sharply in a suit.
The secretary was caught off guard. “Mr. Cooper, is your meeting over already? Wasn’t it supposed to end half an hour later?”
Ignoring her question, Jared scanned the area anxiously, as if searching for someone.
Tatiana’s assistant nudged Tatiana excitedly. “Mr. Cooper, are you looking for us?”
The secretary thought so too and quickly chimed in, “Mr. Cooper, Miss Fernandez and her assistant are here.”
Tatiana’s heart skipped a beat when Jared looked in their direction. She knew Jared was young, but seeing his striking appearance in person was something else entirely.
“Actually, I’m looking for someone else,” Jared replied, his tone firm.
The atmosphere shifted instantly, and the room felt charged with tension.
Tatiana’s smile faded. “You mean…?”
“Isabella.” Jared’s voice was unyielding as he added, “She was just here.”
The secretary’s eyes widened, realizing her mistake. “I didn’t know—“
Jared interrupted her, “Where is she now?”
“She left,” the secretary admitted, feeling the weight of his disappointment.
