Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 342 Alone Time

Oscar went to the office after breakfast. On his way there, his headache got so bad that he nearly jumped a red light.

Fortunately, he made it to work safe and sound in the end. For some reason, fate seemed to have set him up to bump into Isabella the moment he stepped into the office.

“Hey, good morning, Oscar! What a coincidence, right? Have you had breakfast yet? I just so happened to have an extra packed. Do you want it?” offered Isabella unabashedly. The woman was as cold as one could be in front of others. However, when talking to Oscar, she was the complete opposite.

Oscar gave Isabella a grim look before reminding, “As part of the company, you should know that we’re now inside working hours. Please don’t act as though you’re above the rules just because my mother favors you. Do respect yourself and others while at work.”

Even though Isabella did not appreciate Oscar’s tone, she already got used to being treated that way by the man.

Isabella was convinced that she had to be brazen in order to win Oscar’s heart. I need to make him feel as though I’m always around. That way, he’ll constantly be reminded of me. I know I can win him over one day if I just continue to be persistent.

The more Oscar gave her the cold shoulder, the more Isabella wanted him. Isabella did have feelings for Oscar, but more than that, she wanted to show the man that she could dominate him just as she did any other male.

Eventually, Isabella’s overconfidence would lead to disappointments in her love life and have her tripping over her own ego.

Following closely behind Oscar, Isabella noticed the pale look on the man’s face. “You don’t look so good, Oscar. Are you sick?” Isabella then reached out and tried to touch Oscar’s forehead, but he instinctively evaded her hand.

Without a word, Oscar stepped into his personal elevator and gestured for Isabella to stop following him.

After the elevator door slowly closed itself in front of her, Isabella angrily stomped her feet.

The woman then quickly recollected herself and glared at her onlookers before strutting into the public elevator as if she was a proud peacock.

When the others saw Isabella press the button for the floor Oscar’s office was on, they could not help being impressed by the woman’s doggedness. Had it been anybody else in her place, they would have given up by then. To the others, Isabella’s can-do attitude was nothing short of an inspiration.

However, what other people thought mattered not to Isabella, for she grew up always getting what she wanted. She was never forced to do or accept anything she disliked, and one or another, she always got her way. Isabella believed she was allowed to take any measures to get the things she wanted, so she took it upon herself to win Oscar over.
