The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac)
Chapter 9

Brittany found Isaac's aloofness as cold as an iceberg, without any curiosity at all.

She wanted to invite him to celebrate something, but the words got stuck in her throat and she ended up not saying anything. Isaac, put on his slippers, asked, "Huh?"

"Okay, it's a jewelry company."

Brittany saw his disinterest and decided not to continue. She tidied up her design drafts and retreated to her room.

Isaac furrowed his brows. Did he say something wrong? She seemed a bit upset...

***

The next morning, Brittany got up. After breakfast, she left without saying hello to Isaac.

Isaac, sitting at the dining table, also left after breakfast.

At the company, Brittany spent the whole day perfecting her design drafts, and finally handed them to William, who was very pleased.

"Bri, I like your design drafts very much, but Mr. Tueley is not easy to deal with this time. You have to be careful."

"I know, sir."

At the company, she still called him sir.

William smiled, checking his watch, "It's getting late. Fancy dinner?"

He paused, "I heard Hannah is in town too. Let's invite her."

"Alright."

Hannah had wanted to have dinner with William. Now, the three of them could go together. Brittany contacted Hannah, arranged the restaurant, and then the two left the company together. Sydney saw this and was green with envy! Brittany was trying to seduce William again!

The restaurant they arranged to meet was a place they often went to during university. Hannah arrived, panting. She took the tea in front of Brittany, gulped it down, and after catching her breath, complained, "My boss is really too much. My workload has doubled recently!" She didn't even have time to chit-chat!

Brittany chuckled.

William, sitting next to her, called the waiter to add a set of cutlery and poured her a cup of coffee, "Take it slow."

Hannah greeted William with a smile, "William, long time no see. You've become more handsome."

William responded with a warm smile.

The three of them chatted as they ate. William was tactful and maintained a good pace in the conversation. Hannah propped her chin on her hand, thinking that it would be great if Brittany married William. He was from a good family, had a good personality, and knew Brittany well. Unfortunately, Brittany married a man she barely knew!

After seeing off William, Hannah sighed, "Bri, how great it would be if you had married William!"

Brittany looked shocked, "Doesn't William have someone he likes?"

Hannah was speechless. Wasn't the person he liked you?

"Don't you want to know who William likes?" Hannah asked.

"No."

Brittany shook her head. It was her senior's private matter, and she didn't care.

Hannah swallowed the words she was about to say, "Never mind, let's go home."

Back at the apartment, Isaac hadn't returned. She thought about texting him, but then decided against it as it might cause unnecessary trouble since they were only in a fake marriage. So, she asked William about Wesley instead and planned to meet him the next day. Isaac hadn't returned by the time she went to bed.

When she woke up the next morning, he still wasn't there. Brittany was a bit worried, but she didn't ask further. She took her design drafts and headed for Tueley Corporation.

The receptionist stopped her and looked at her suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm Brittany from VelvetGlow Jewellery. I'm here to discuss design drafts with Mr. Tueley."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No, how long will it take if I make an appointment now?"

"About two hours."

Brittany smiled, "Then, could you please make an appointment for me?"

The receptionist pointed to the waiting room, "Please wait here."

Brittany turned and left.

The receptionist laughed, "What's wrong with VelvetGlow Jewellery? Any designer dares to approach Mr. Tueley?"

Don't they know their place!

At Tueley Corporation, Isaac and Wesley reached a preliminary agreement on the cooperation.

"I heard you got married?" Wesley asked.

Isaac was puzzled, "How did you know?"

"My sister told me a while ago."

Wesley was quite curious about Isaac's marriage, "Who's your wife? Do we know her? Can you bring her out to meet her?" "No need."

Isaac had no plans to bring Brittany into the public eye, so he left.

Wesley shrugged helplessly.

The receptionist signaled Brittany that she could go up. Immediately, she took her designs and entered the elevator.

The elevator on the left was descending from the 23rd floor. The one on the right was ascending from the basement. One up, one down.

The elevator doors opened. Brittany entered the elevator and at the same moment, Isaac exited from the other one. His gaze swept over Brittany, seeming to recognize her, but the elevator doors closed.

He must have seen wrong. Isaac strode away quickly.

Brittany was checking her documents and didn't notice Isaac passing by.

She arrived on the 23rd floor and met Wesley without any issues.

"Mr. Tueley, hello, I'm Brittany."

Wesley seemed to recall something upon hearing her name, "Are you the daughter of the Dustin family?"

Brittany felt a bit awkward, "Yes."

Wesley looked at her curiously, took her design drafts, and then began to scrutinize them.

Brittany's designs were indeed up to his expectations. But he was more curious as to why Brittany was working at VelvetGlow Jewellery.

"I remember you used to always help Patrina with her designs, now..."

"I fell out with the Dustin family, now working at VelvetGlow Jewellery."

Brittany looked at Wesley uneasily, then asked, "Mr. Tueley, are you satisfied with my design?"

Just as Wesley was about to answer, his phone rang. He apologized and picked up the call. Whatever the person on the other end of the line said, it made his face change slightly. Brittany quickly picked up on this.

Sure enough, after Wesley hung up the phone, he said somewhat helplessly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Dustin, I can't use your design."

It turned out that it was Robert who had called. He hinted, making Wesley choose. If he used Brittany's design, he could forget about working with the Dustin family again.

Wesley didn't want to offend the Dustin family because of Brittany.

Knowing who had called, Brittany picked up her design and said goodbye.

Wesley squinted his eyes and watched her leave with interest, stroking his chin. What was the Dustin family thinking? Brittany was so talented but not valued, instead she was constantly hindered?

...

Back at VelvetGlow Jewellery, Brittany hadn't been able to win over Wesley. Sydney walked over with a smug look, "Brittany, did you succeed?"

"Did you tell Patrina that I work at VelvetGlow Jewellery?"

Patrina and Sydney were good friends. As soon as she went to Tueley Corporation, Robert called. Who else could it be but Sydney?

Sydney raised her eyebrows triumphantly, "So you didn't succeed, guess you can leave VelvetGlow Jewellery now=" Brittany naturally didn't want to leave.

"You didn't specify a time frame, as long as I successfully complete this collaboration, I can stay."

Brittany wasn't going to give up. She had faced many difficulties before, and she was confident she could deal with Wesley! Sydney just chuckled and walked away.

At that moment, William came out of the office and gathered everyone, "I have two important announcements." "What?"

Someone was curious.

"VelvetGlow Jewellery has been acquired by Grandeur Capital, we're currently in the transition phase, so brace yourselves." "The super-rich Grandeur Capital?"

"I heard the person in charge at NK is very strict, hard to please, are we going to be under their control?"

Brittany sat there, stunned. She had just found a job, and now the company was being acquired? Could she still keep her job?

The next second, William announced another important news: "Next Monday, Mr. Salter, the person in charge of Grandeur Capital, will come for an inspection. Be prepared."
