Loveless Marriage -
Chapter190 A Surprise
After all, she broke in without permission, and the meeting did not leave any time for her to prepare. Being extremely embarrassed, she had to step forward and smiled "Mr. Simons."
She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but the atmosphere in the room was strange. It reminded her of the cold beauty she had met a few minutes ago.
Shawn's handsome face immediately revealed a smile. He stood up and walked to her front, "Please take a seat. Why didn't you inform me in advance when you were in London so that I can arrange for someone to pick you up?
Isabella smiled. She wiped her jacket and bent over as she sat on the sofa, "It's not an urgent matter. I'm here for other things, and have some time to visit you today."
She did not say that her purpose here was him.
"Just you alone?" Shawn's gaze was always on her face, his eyes warm and enchanting, with a smile on his lips.
"No, with my two assistants." Isabella lightly pinched her fingers, and laughed dryly, "I don't know if you were busy. Have I disturbed you?"
The secretary knocked on the door with two cups of tea, put them down and left.
The man looked deeply at her and said calmly, "You're too formal with me. Didn't I tell you before? No matter when you come, I will always welcome you. But you gave me a surprise."
These words were a bit fomenting for two people who were not very familiar with each other and whose statuses were very different was a bit fomenting.
Isabella lowered her head. She still maintained her professional smile and tone, "You sure know how to joke, Mr. Simons. At most, for me this can be considered as scaring instead of surprise, but you are such a calm and composed person, there shouldn't be anything that can scare you off."
With that, she raised the steaming cup ahead, blew gently on it, and took a sip.
As he sat with his legs crossed, the man's refined and noble temperament made him neither impatient nor impatient. There was even a kind warmth about him as if there was nothing that could provoke him as Isabella said.
But Shawn smiled lightly and his expression was as warm as jade. "No, it depends on who you're facing. Maybe you're an exception?"
Isabella was shocked. She was at a loss as to how to manage her expression, so panicked that she could not even hold onto her cup properly, leaving the boiling tea splashing onto her hands, which forced her to shout instinctively.
"Scalded?" The man reacted quickly, took the cup from her hand, and placed it on the table. He then quickly buckled her wrist, got up, and walked towards the bathroom.
Isabella suddenly became extremely embarrassed, "Mr...Mr. Simons...I'm okay..."
But Shawn ignored her until he put her fingers underwater to wash. Then he reminded her in a low voice, "You have to be careful. It's not good to leave scars on your beautiful hands." With his wrist being held, the two were too close together. Isabella felt a little uncomfortable as she pulled his hand back a bit. She still spoke politely, "Mr. Simons...I'm okay now." The man's large palm tensed up even more, and said gently, "It has to take five minutes."
Isabella quietly raised her eyes to look at the man's side profile.
Shawn wouldn't be into her ... would he?
No, that was impossible!
Her face changed, and she immediately pulled back her hand. Then she laughed awkwardly and wiped off the water on her hand, saying, "Mr. Simons, I'm fine now. The tea is getting cold, and I won't get scalded again."
How could this man like her? There was no reason at all, and from the very beginning, she felt that he had been overly attentive to her, which was not that simple. Christian had also warned her before, and she felt that he seemed to know everything but just wasn't willing to tell her the reason.
Shawn was just startled for a moment, but after he recovered his gentleness, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and interjected, and faintly smiled, "Okay, if it's red and swollen, then we still need to go to the hospital to take a look."
"Alright."
John and Minh who had been waiting in the service hall for a long time immediately stood up and walked over when they saw that Isabella had finally come out.
"Miss Jones, why did you go so long? I was worried that something had happened to you and I was about to charge in. "Minh heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was safe and sound. "Miss Jones, have you seen the person in charge? John asked.
Isabella looked at the two of them, "I'm fine, I just met the president here."
The two of them were startled, then looked at each other, and exclaimed, "Mr. Simons?"
Isabella nodded, "Let's talk after we leave."
Just as the three of them were about to leave, a shout suddenly came from behind them.
"Isabella!"
The low and slightly urgent voice echoed throughout the entire first floor's hall. Everyone, including the cleaners who were cleaning the windows, stared at the person who had made the sound. Of course, the one who was most shocked was Isabella. She never would have thought that Shawn would actually chase after her, and even shouted out her name without hesitation. This was his company.
The others who had reacted quickly greeted respectfully, "Hi, Mr. Simons."
The man ignored them and walked straight towards her.
John and Minh felt it a bit strange as they looked carefully at Isabella's face.
Isabella squeezed out a smile with a stiff expression, "Mr. Simons ... Is there anything else?"
She had gone through a lot of trouble to reject all of his invitations, but she didn't expect him to pursue her again.
The man smiled faintly, "I was just about to go out too. I just remembered that I should let my driver send you back."
Everyone present was shocked and looked at Isabella curiously, guessing who she was, to be able to make their CEO treat her with such gentleness.
No woman had ever received such treatment, not even Sarah, whose temperament was much better than this one.
Isabella felt uncomfortable being looked at by everyone. Se smiled lightly and tactfully rejected, "Thank you, Mr. Simons, but, we have already rented a car."
John looked at Isabella but did not say a word.
Shawn's expression dimmed, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Alright, I'll send you out."
"No need, Mr. Simons." Isabella became more determined, and her smile decreased, "When we get back I will ask Mr. Smith to thank you."
She deliberately misinterpreted Shawn's intentions and brought the company out. Even if people thought that he had affairs with her, they wouldn't investigate it as deeply as they did just now. Without waiting for Shawn to speak, she nodded politely and left.000000000000☐☐☐
