Chapter 262

Ten minutes later, Isabella sat in the passenger seat of Corey’s car with a sullen face, her mind in complete disarray, unsure of how she had ended up in this situation.

Leonard’s seafood restaurant was a place she dreaded, as she was almost certain to run into Seth there.

Lately, she had managed to maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship without seeing him. It would be a problem to even greet him if they met privately.

She was annoyed, and Corey, sitting next to her, kept affectionately calling her “Bella” as if he were her younger brother.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Corey parked the car.

Isabella followed him with heavy footsteps.

Corey wore a smile on his face, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort, and walked ahead on his own.

Just as they reached the staircase, two groups of people came toward them.

Isabella was lost in thought when she heard a gasp. She looked up and almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Leonard was leading Simon and Dariel, apparently having just finished ordering their fish, followed by several waiters.

Gordon and Tyrone were with Freya and Lyra, clearly having just arrived.

Corey, with one hand in his pocket, turned to Isabella and winked. Then he answered,
