Andrew’s eyes still lingered on Isabella’s face. He didn’t understand why her mood had suddenly improved, but it was obviously because of him.
He felt a warmth spread through his chest, but he decided not to overthink it. There was no need to dwell on the reason.
Before they got in the car, Andrew had already chosen a restaurant. He held Isabella’s hand, walked her to the car, and opened the passenger door for her.
Then, he turned to the driver’s seat, started his Maybach, and drove away. Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Andrew knew Isabella’s taste well. He was also aware that she enjoyed trying new dishes. So, this time, he took her to a restaurant that suited her preferences but that she had never been to.
Isabella scanned the menu and ordered a few dishes she liked. Andrew did the same. While waiting for their food, she mentioned Evita’s situation to him.
Andrew sniffed dismissively. He poured Isabella a glass of water and commented, “Those who bring trouble upon themselves have no one but themselves to blame.”
Then he asked, “Do you need me to handle that model who used—“
Isabella thought of Lila and shook her head. She didn’t think it was necessary. After all, she didn’t feel too offended.
“Not this time. She’s still useful to me, after all. For now, I’m counting on her to make money for me at the Timeless Elegance fashion show.”
While they were talking, Isabella’s phone suddenly lit up. She picked it up from the table, clicked something quickly, and accessed a website’s backend.
She received a private message: “Dr. Mia, there’s a major deal in Mafelen. Are you interested in taking it?”
Isabella replied casually, “I’ve been busy lately, so I’m not taking any business.”
She had just sent her reply when the door of their private room was opened from the outside, and the waiter entered with the dishes they had ordered.
The dishes arranged on the table immediately caught Isabella’s attention. She exited the website and focused on her meal, savoring her favorites.
After lunch, Isabella said to Andrew, “I need to stop by Edge Entertainment.”
Andrew drove her to Edge Entertainment. He pulled the car smoothly to a stop in front of the building, unfastened her seatbelt, and kissed her on the lips. “Sweetheart, see you tonight.”
“See you…”
Isabella got out of the car, and the Maybach drove away slowly. She watched the car’s taillights disappear from her sight before she turned around and entered the Edge Entertainment building. She hadn’t been to Edge Entertainment for quite a while. But as the president, she had to come and check.
Isabella asked her assistant to bring over the project materials for this period. She reviewed them one by one, making notes in relevant sections. Then, she asked if there had been any major events in the industry during this time.
The assistant groped for Isabella’s intentions. After a moment, she realized she had something to report.
She leaned a little closer to Isabella and whispered, “Miss Patton, I heard that Global Entertainment is preparing to collaborate with Orly Company. They’ve even invited Ailyn Vettel, the heiress of a luxury brand in Mafelen.”
The assistant’s voice brimmed with enthusiasm as she spoke. “Ailyn hails from a distinguished family and is celebrated as a global fashion icon. Her designs are a hit with the youth. Yet, in my view, she doesn’t hold a candle to the master designer, Sierra.”
This prompted Isabella to arch an eyebrow in curiosity, turning her gaze toward the assistant. The assistant voiced her thoughts.
“While Ailyn’s creations are in vogue, similar styles are fairly widespread. It’s widely believed that her prominence stems largely from her noble lineage. Sierra, on the other hand, maintains a low profile, yet her designs resonate with deep artistic integrity and originality. She’s earned her renown through genuine talent alone!”
Shifting gears, the assistant redirected the conversation to business.
“Given that Global Entertainment is venturing into fashion, and considering our position in entertainment, perhaps it’s time for us to explore similar expansions?” She subtly gauged Isabella’s reaction.
The growth of the entertainment company directly enhanced the benefits available to its employees. With Isabella at the helm of Edge Entertainment, the company’s triumphs were visible to everyone. Fame had come to many of their artists and singers, and their television dramas and variety shows had captured the public’s attention. Expanding into new sectors could potentially place Edge Entertainment at the forefront of the industry under Isabella’s leadership. In fact, such strategic diversification might help them overtake Global Entertainment as the leading giant in the entertainment world.
Isabella noticed the gleam of ambition in her assistant’s eyes and quickly tempered it with a soft chuckle. “Our primary focus remains on entertainment. As an assistant, it’s ambitious to concern yourself with such broad strategies.”
Isabella burst into laughter. “First, let’s focus on enhancing what we do best. Dedicate yourself fully, and a significant bonus will be yours at year’s end.”
The assistant caught a whiff of Isabella’s subtle perfume, and her engaging smile quickened her pulse. To her, Isabella was more captivating than any celebrity on their list.
Unaware of her admiration, Isabella wrapped up her review of the final document. It was time to head home.
As she drove, Isabella reflected on the assistant’s words about fashion ventures. The rivalry between Global Entertainment and Edge Entertainment had always been intense, especially with Tatiana poised to take full control of Global Entertainment.
Her assistant didn’t know about her relationship with the Timeless Elegance CEO, but Tatiana surely did. Her strategic collaborations with Orly Company and the fashion icon, Ailyn, were calculated moves to ensure Timeless Elegance didn’t monopolize the market.
Isabella realized she needed to act quickly with Luka; the early bird would catch the worm.
Twenty minutes later, Isabella pulled up to her villa.
Just then, she heard a voice. Looking up, she spotted Waylon on the balcony of the adjacent villa, resting against the creamy railing and waving at her.
Isabella offered a warm smile and moved closer to him.
“Waylon, did you manage to get off work this early today?”
With his characteristic bold and vibrant charm, Waylon nodded. “There was a banquet scheduled for tonight, but it seemed dull, so I skipped it. Luckily, I’m just in time to see you return. Did you miss me while I was away?” Waylon leaned forward from the balcony, as if trying to bridge the distance between them.
This action made Isabella’s eyebrows furrow in concern. Fearing he might fall, she quickly said, “Of course I missed you. But please, be careful and stand back—that looks dangerous.”
Pleased by her concern, Waylon straightened up, his expression brightening with happiness.
Despite the joyful reunion, Isabella pondered his comments.
During the height of his career, Waylon had been exceedingly busy and would never pass up the chance to attend banquets, viewing them as crucial for networking and resource management.
Now, as he ventured into modeling and avoided leveraging his status as a member of the Patton family, it seemed out of character for him to escape such gatherings.
Isabella surmised that the banquet likely felt less like an opportunity for Waylon and more like a burden.
Waylon’s decision to step away from his superstar life was because of her.
As his family, Isabella felt it was her responsibility to ensure he faced no unnecessary hardships when she could help.
She wanted modeling to be a passion for Waylon, not a burden. With a reassuring smile, Isabella told Waylon, “Waylon, Uncle Luka’s fashion show is already signing contracts with models. You mustn’t forget to visit him in the next couple of days. I can’t wait to see you on that runway. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
Isabella understood the potential of the Timeless Elegance show. It was the perfect platform for Waylon to get closer to his goal of becoming a top model, and having a former superstar like Waylon on stage would add even more value to Luka’s event.
Both Waylon and Luka deserved to reach the pinnacle of their careers!
Waylon remembered the fashion show Isabella had mentioned earlier.
The frown etched between his brows softened noticeably. “I’ll visit Uncle Luka tomorrow,” he said.
As they spoke, Andrew’s car pulled into the garage.
He stepped out, walked behind Isabella, and glanced up at Waylon, who was standing on the balcony. Andrew gave a subtle, emotionless nod—his unique way of greeting a close friend.
“You’re back.”
Hearing the noise behind her, Isabella turned. Her eyes brightened the moment she saw Andrew.
“Yes,” Andrew replied, a faint smile curling his lips. In his deep, soothing voice, he added, “I came back early just to cook for you, sweetheart.”
Waylon had been in a pleasant mood, but Andrew’s sweet words soured it instantly.
Andrew, his good friend, had already “stolen” his beloved sister—a fact that still grated on him. Now, Andrew had the audacity to display their romance right in front of him.
Waylon couldn’t help but feel bitter. He was the only single man left in the Patton family, and this was infuriating.
Isabella, spoiled by Andrew’s culinary skills, lit up at his words and nodded enthusiastically.
She then turned to Waylon and asked politely, “Waylon, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Why don’t you join us? Andrew’s cooking is excellent.”
As she extended the invitation, Andrew stood silently by her side, his expression unreadable.
Knowing Andrew would be the one cooking, Waylon was briefly tempted. However, as his gaze lingered on the intimate atmosphere between them, he quickly suppressed the thought. Isabella and Andrew were both busy with work, and their time together after hours was precious. He shouldn’t disturb them.
