Loveless Marriage

Chapter 37  Conscience



Chapter 37  Conscience

After working for a while, Mr. Smith called her through the internal phone. Isabella looked at Rachel,

who was quiet on the sofa. She got up and walked over, squatted down to look at her, and asked softly,

"aunt is going out. Are you playing here or going with aunt?"

Rachel blinked her eyes, turned and got off from the sofa, grabbing at her clothes.

Isabella laughed, and then touched her head,"Alright, let's go together."

Holding her small hand, she went to the executive office. Mr. Smith looked at her in confusion, "This

girl?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Smith, this is my friend's child …" Isabella narrated Rachel's situation to him.

Mr. Smith nodded understandably, then waved her to sit down and said, "the branch of Polygon Group

here has been basically completed and will begin to operate immediately. The representative of their

company will visit later. I hope you can handle this for me."

What? How are they so fast?

She took a pause, pretending nothing had happened. "Do you know who will come?"

The CEO would not come for a branch office.

Mr. Smith smiled unnecessarily, "it should be just some department managers, so I let you go. If there Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

are any big ones, I'll go by myself. It's not a big deal. Just invite them to meal at noon."

Meal?

Isn't that a social intercourse? It was fine if there were not many people, but if there were more, they

would drink definitely. Besides, she has Rachel.

"Mr. Smith...Um…" She looked down at Rachel with a little difficulty, then said in a conflict. " May I

arrange some people from my department to treat him?"

Mr. Smith looked at her, then looked at Rachel’s cute face, thinking about it and nodded, "That's fine,

you can make the arrangements. You must treat them well."

Isabella slightly heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked with a smile"Alright." : "Then, when will they

arrive?"

Mr. Smith turned and look outside the window and said faintly, "It should be around this time. It's not far

away, it's just across the street. It won't take a few minutes.

"…"

Isabella's body stiffened, and her mind was a bit muddled. “Where is it? On the other side? She thought

she had heard something wrong, and she stared at Mr. Smith blankly.

She looked at the building slowly, which is across the street.

Their branch was located in that building?

Mr. Smith didn't notice her. He smiled, walked to the window, pointed to the same floor opposite and

said, "it's a coincidence that the Polygon Group branch is on the same floor opposite. With better eyes,

I should still be able to see them. However, my myopia can't see anything."

Isabella's eyes followed him, her smile extremely stiffed, and her eyes deep and complex.

Did Christian do this on purpose or not?

Did the call he made last night have anything to do with it?

"Alright, you can make the arrangements first." Mr. Smith waved to her.

"Yes." Isabella recovered her emotions and pulled Rachel away from the executive office.

Back to her office, she stood by the window and looked at the building opposite with an absent-minded

expression.

All of a sudden,the curtain of the room facing her office moved up slowly. In front of the huge French

window, a slender and upright figure was so completely exposed in her field of vision, like an actor

under the curtain in the center of the stage, which made her feel very unreal.

She flashed back and blinked her eyes. After confirming that he was not an illusion, she

subconsciously bit her lips.

Now, it was certain that the man did it on purpose.

Christian stood there still. His expression was a little vague, but the only thing he could be sure was

that he was looking at her, and seemed to know where her office was long ago.

Isabella became more and more worried. She picked up her phone and called him without hesitation.

The bell rang for a few seconds. She saw clearly that the man took out his mobile phone from his

pocket and put it in his ear. His face was still facing her direction.

"Hello." A deep, calm voice sounded.

"Christian, what do you mean?" Isabella asked madly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't ask me while you already knew the answer. Why did you put the branch here? Don't fucking tell

me it's just a coincidence."

Hearing her curse, Christian frowned, but still said calmly, "It's not a coincidence. It's just a wise choice.

It's all thanks to the time I went to your company then I found the location is really good, and the

environment is also nice."

"…"

Isabella choked and gnashed her teeth. "What do you want, Christian? We're divorced. Can you stop

disturbing my peaceful life?"

He didn’t answer at once, then a low and hoarse laugh sounded, "Because I am your ex-husband, you

feel that I do everything with ulterior motives. Isabella, are you too narcissistic or … have a guilty

conscience?"

The last few words, he deliberately slowed down, and his deep and hoarse voice became fascinating,

which made Isabella's heart to skip a beat.

If Christian were here, he would definitely see her black face.

Holding her phone tightly, she gritted her teeth and kept silent for a while. After she calmed down, she

said in a cold voice, "Since you don't have any ulterior motives, then don’t eat your words.

Without waiting for his response, she hung up the phone and left with a glare at him.

Christian, who was standing there, put down his mobile phone, with his eyes darker.

Someone knocked on the door at this moment.

Lexie walked in, "Christian, your mother called and asked us to go back for dinner."

"You can go. I still have something to do at noon. Tell her that I'll be back in the evening.” Christian said

lightly without turning around.

Lexie’s face changed slightly, "What is it? Do you need help? "

"No. You go back first."

"…"

Lexie looked at him and already guessed something. She felt extremely uncomfortable immediately.

Meta Technology was across the street. Did he still miss that woman?

"I'll go back then." Lexie Tightened her fingers and didn't ask more, a strange light flashed past her

eyes.

……..

Sitting beside the computer. Isabella was still thinking what had just happened, with her heart in a

mess.

Suddenly, she felt someone grabbing her clothes. She returned to her mind, lowered her head. She

saw Rachel standing in front of her and looking at her. It seemed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" She asked softly.

Rachel pursed her lips and frowned. She looks like uncomfortable, then she started to take off her

pants

Isabella was surprised for a moment when she saw her actions. Suddenly, a glint flashed across her

eyes. "Do you want to go pee?"

Rachel shook her head.

Isabella was confused, then she asked, "Poo—poo?"

Finally Rachel nodded.

Isabella was amused by her. She picked her up and walked out of the office and hurried to the

bathroom.

While she was waiting inside, the front desk staff called her suddenly. "Mrs. Jones, the representatives

of the Polygon Group company has arrived."
