Chapter 9 – Meeting

The receptionist personally escorted Isla to the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, Isla noticed that Keira hadn’t left and was sitting on the couch in the lobby, obviously not intending to leave.

How shameless.

Isla glanced at the receptionist. “You guys really have it tough. I will mention to Jake about giving you a raise…”

Joy appeared on the receptionist’s face, “Thank you, Miss Olsen! Please feel free to instruct me if you need anything!”

Isla sighed. “My little sister is really stubborn. Please don’t let her wait until Mr. Horton comes…”

After saying these words, Isla entered the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, she could see the receptionist walking toward Keira. The corner of Isla’s mouth curved into a triumphant smile.

Did Keira really think she would get Mr. Horton’s attention just because of her good looks?

How foolish.

The world of the wealthy is ruled by interest, not by emotions.

Jake had pursued Keira for four years and had been so in love with her. Still, he ended up proposing to Isla…

All of this happened because Isla had what was needed to marry into the Horton family!

The elevator quickly reached the 68th floor. When Isla entered the office, she had returned to her usual serene and gentle demeanor.

Jake was in a suit and tie, his youthful naivety from school days replaced by a hint of sharpness. His gaze fell on her face, and he casually asked, “What happened to your face?”

Isla lowered her gaze. “Keira hit me…”

Jake warned her, looking displeased, “I’ve told you before. Don’t provoke her.”

Isla said, “It was my fault.”

She moved to Jake’s side. “Jake, I heard your new project is about renewable energy?”
