As they walked out of the canteen, Andrew casually asked, “Where would you like to go this afternoon?”
Before Isabella could respond, Andrew’s phone rang.
He answered, and a cheerful voice on the other end said, “Hey, Andrew! Would you like to go to the club for some fun this afternoon? It’s been a while!”
“I’m busy this afternoon.”
Isabella blinked at Andrew. Looking at her, Andrew suddenly asked softly, “Do you want to meet my friends?”
“Of course,” Isabella responded.
Andrew had met Susan, her best friend, but she hadn’t met any of his friends yet.
Andrew nodded, then said to the phone, “Alright, see you this afternoon!”
There was a pause on the other end, then the person asked, “You agreed? Who were you talking to just now?”
“My future wife,” Andrew said.
The silence that followed made Isabella realize that Andrew’s friends might not be thrilled about her joining them. She started to contemplate the situation, her mind racing.
The call ended soon after, and Andrew turned to Isabella, gently taking her hand. “These gatherings can get a bit loud. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, we can leave.”
“Okay,” Isabella said, tilting her head to look at Andrew. “By the way, you weren’t jealous, were you?”
Andrew, understanding she was talking about Kevin, responded with a knowing smile, “I knew what you wanted to do.”
Isabella raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You knew I was thinking Kevin might be good enough for a cooking TV show?”
“Yes,” Andrew replied, his gaze steady. “I could see it in your eyes.”
While Kevin might have assumed his charm was the reason Isabella was interested in him, Andrew knew exactly what she was contemplating.
Isabella’s smile widened. She felt a sense of warmth, happy to have a boyfriend who understood her so well.
Later, at the club, the atmosphere was lively with the sounds of music and laughter. This club was a popular spot for the affluent families of Ansport, boasting a variety of entertainment options. Access required a special membership card.
As Andrew and Isabella arrived, the private room was filled with people singing and socializing. Upon seeing them, everyone turned to them, and the respectful greetings to Andrew were tinged with curiosity as their eyes lingered on Isabella.
Andrew’s stern glance prompted everyone to compose themselves. They greeted Isabella with polite “hello,” though a hint of reluctance colored their tone.
“Hello,” Isabella responded with a warm smile that seemed to brighten the entire room. Her beauty and vibrant demeanor had an immediate impact on the crowd.
Norton, stepping forward, introduced himself with a casual air. “It’s your first time at our party, so you might not know us. I’m Norton Santos.”
“I’ve heard of you,” Isabella said, her smile unwavering despite Norton’s offhand attitude.
Norton raised an eyebrow, a hint of challenge in his voice. “Oh, really? I hope it was something pleasant you heard.”
“There was something unpleasant too. But most of it was written by the media to attract people’s attention,” Isabella said.
Norton was a little surprised. Ordinary people could easily be led astray by comments on the internet. He didn’t expect that Isabella was clear-minded, which made him look at her with new eyes.
“It seems you are very smart,” Norton said, looking at Isabella meaningfully. “We’re playing a game. Do you want to join us?”
“Sure. What game?”
Isabella found they were playing a dice game. The general rule was that whoever lost would be punished.
“We roll the dice. Whoever loses will choose truth or dare. But if you want neither, you’ll drink three glasses of wine,” Norton explained.
Isabella looked at Andrew and asked, “Do you want to play?”
“It’s up to you,” Andrew replied, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned by this. No one had expected Andrew to have such a gentle side.
“Okay, let’s have some fun,” Isabella said with a smile. Andrew sat next to her, and everyone seated around the table began to play the dice game.
“I’ll play with Isabella first,” the person who spoke was a very young man. He looked to be in his early twenties but exuded an unruly and arrogant aura. Unlike others, he was not good at pretending. When he looked at Isabella, his eyes were filled with coldness.
But Isabella shrugged it off; she didn’t care at all. “Okay.”
“Let’s talk about the bet first,” said the young man.
“No problem. What do you want to bet?” Isabella readily agreed.
“If you lose, you will leave Andrew. What do you think?” After saying this, the young man stared at Isabella, waiting for her answer.
Everyone looked at the man with shocked expressions. Although they also didn’t think Isabella and Andrew were a good match, they couldn’t be as straightforward as this young man named Wesley Lambert.
Norton felt it was inappropriate for Wesley to take such a bet. “Isabella, don’t be angry. Wesley is just joking. Right, Wesley?”
As he spoke, he kept winking at Wesley.
However, Wesley was very stubborn. He just ignored Norton’s gestures. It was only after Norton kept tugging at his shirt for a few seconds that he finally said slowly, “I was just kidding. If you lose, you have to dance for everyone.”
Dancing sounded much better. But actually, Wesley was deliberately trying to humiliate Isabella. Dancing in front of these rich fund babies was kind of an insult. Andrew’s eyes darkened, and the atmosphere in the room became tense. Everyone noticed that he was a little angry. Norton hurriedly pulled Wesley away and said, “Wesley, that’s enough!”
“Why? What’s wrong?” Wesley was also a little annoyed. He had already made a concession. “Jada will dance.”
Isabella jolted when she heard the name. The name Jada rang a bell. Was she one of these people’s friends?
Norton spoke again. “Wesley, I said enough! Not everyone is as omnipotent as Jada.”
Wesley could only grit his teeth in anger. He looked at Isabella with more contempt. He liked Jada very much. In his eyes, she was remarkable—good at many things, including dancing from a young age. Moreover, she was a famous master perfumer and a member of the Q*vlut Organization.
Only an amazing woman like her was worthy of Andrew. On the contrary, Isabella was a woman who always relied on men. She didn’t deserve Andrew at all.
“Okay, deal!” Isabella said, looking at Wesley coldly. She did not react to what he had just said. “We’ll do as you say.”
Norton said, “Isabella, don’t take Wesley’s words seriously. He is out of his mind.”
Then he turned to Wesley. “You are out of your mind!”
Wesley just rolled his eyes at Norton and then looked at Isabella with a sneer. A trace of determination flashed through his cold eyes. “I didn’t expect you to be so bold. I’m impressed. If I lose, I’ll be at your disposal. Let’s do it together. Whoever gets more points will win.”
“Sure! Let’s start.”
They each took a dice cup and shook it.
Although Wesley was young, he was good at this game. Everyone felt like they were watching a good show. They looked at Andrew from time to time, observing his expression and reaction. However, Andrew just returned to his usual indifference. He didn’t have much reaction.
So, they couldn’t help but guess that he didn’t like Isabella that much.
Andrew’s eyes were fixed on Isabella’s beautiful face. He knew very well that since Isabella had agreed, Wesley would definitely lose.
There was only one thought in his mind: Wesley must be taught a lesson.
Norton, on the other hand, was anxious. Would Isabella really dance if she lost? Actually, he didn’t care about Isabella. He was just worried that the situation would anger Andrew.
“Pak!” Wesley suddenly put the cup on the table and stared at Isabella.
Isabella also put down the cup. She sat upright, straightened her back, and looked at Wesley indifferently. Her face was expressionless, but she exuded an imposing aura.
Wesley felt a little intimidated, and his heart tightened. But he shook his head to get rid of this feeling and asked, “Are you ready?”
“Yeah. Let’s open it. Who goes first?”
