Several days later, at the seaside mansion, it was evening and it was drizzling outside.

Roland went to his study after he returned home from work. He had been pretty busy these days, so Isabel was not too bothered.

She looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost dinner time. She wrapped up the livestream she set up for her novelebook fans and prepared to leave her bedroom.

Rox happened to show up at that juncture. “Miss Isabel, dinner is ready."

Isabel told her politely, “Got it. I'll tell Roland myself. Why don’t you get back to it?”

She knew that Rox was intimidated by Roland. It was probably a combination of his stoic temper as well as the usual power dynamic factor.

Rox nodded and went downstairs.

Isabel went down the corridor to Roland's study.

She was about to knock on the door to announce her entry when she heard Roland's voice on the phone coming through the door, "Tell them that I’ll be there in person to sign to documents tomorrow at noon.
