184 Think Differently
Isabella was in shock.
At this moment, Isabella was at least three to four meters away from Joseph. Moreover, she only drank a small cup of wine handed over by the people offstage... She did not expect that Joseph could scent it out. Then she took two steps back, âNo, no.â
Joseph put down the list and stood up, and Isabella stepped back quickly, âAlright! I only drank a small glass of wine!â
Joseph looked at Isabella suspiciously, âDidnât you say you attend a performance? Why did you drink?â
âEveryone toasted the success of the performance backstage.â
Isabella was good at telling lies. Joseph didnât have the right to interfere even if she drank it. However, she didnât dare to tell the truth because she felt that if Joseph knew that she drank in Empire Entertainment Center, he would be very mad at her.
This was probably male chauvinism.
Thatâs to say, a man could be a playboy, but he didnât even allow his lover to hang out in bars.
âYou must tell me if you drink.â
.....
Joseph believed in her and ordered, âChoose one of the gowns over there which are prepared for my birthday banquet the night after tomorrow.â
âWow, they are all top-grade gowns.â
Isabella chose a lavender gown. Then Joseph made a gesture and William took two suits immediately.
âThat deep purple one.â
Joseph glanced at them casually and continued to look at the list.
âYes.â
Isabella asked curiously, âAre you trying to match my gown?â
âOf course.â
Joseph said, âAs a couple at the party, we should match up the colors of our clothes.â
âThere will be a lot of people on that day and Iâll find a corner to stay in. If I stay with you, people will know about our relationship,â Isabella said nervously.
Joseph was a little angry with her.
He looked at Isabella coldly, âListen up. At my birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, I am the male lead and you must be the female lead.â
âBut...â
âNo buts.â
Joseph frowned and interrupted Isabellaâs protest directly, âFirst of all, I will not invite low-class guests like Carl.
âSecondly, my grandpa will be present and watch us, so I canât pretend that I donât know you.
âLast but not least, even if you are my girlfriend, you are not as important as my wife. A female partner who can be changed at any time is far less influential than you think!
âZachary changes his girlfriend every three months and no one cares who that woman is!â
After saying that, he picked up the list and went upstairs angrily, leaving the stunned Isabella in the hall.
âA female partner who can be changed at any time...â
Although Isabella was very clear about her identity, she still felt a bit of pain when hearing what Joseph said. Thus, she lowered his head, put away the gown, and said, âIâll go upstairs first...â
âMiss Isabella.â
William smiled, âMr. Joseph forgot to tell you that you should blow the candles and cut the cake with Mr. Joseph at 9 p.m. of the birthday banquet. Although you are present as his girlfriend, you are the first woman to blow the candles with Mr. Joseph in the Wilson Manor.â
Isabella was stunned.
âThe guests for this birthday banquet are all Mr. Josephâs friends. Miss Isabella, please donât worry and enjoy yourself. In addition, you have great taste. Mr. Joseph likes you to wear lavender clothes.â William smiled and left.
After William left, Isabella went upstairs immediately to put on her gown.
In the mirror, she looked beautiful and gentle.
âI will be seen the day after tomorrow. Will I look decent...â
Isabella looked at herself in the mirror blankly. Then she clenched her fist and smiled, âIt doesnât matter. Come on, Isabella! Although Iâm his fake girlfriend, Iâll be with him in the most perfect state at 9 oâclock the day after tomorrow seeing that Joseph values me so much!â
Isabella closed her eyes. Somehow, when she thought of that scene, her heart beat faster...
Isabellaâs plan of work went smoothly. In the blink of an eye, it was Josephâs birthday.
âHappy birthday! Mr. Joseph!â
Isabella said with a bottle of spray snow in hand.
When Joseph went downstairs in the morning, Isabella sprayed at him. Then Joseph patted the snow on his body helplessly, âIsabella, do you spray it on my face on purpose?â
âYes!â Isabella made a face and skipped away.
Charlie smiled and said, âHappy birthday, Joseph. Isabella assisted the head chef to cook dishes early in the morning. Try it.â
âThank you, grandpa. Iâm coming now.â
Hearing it, Joseph looked at Isabellaâs back and smiled.
âThe birthday noodles are specially added with fruit and vegetable juices, so they are colorful. Although they taste the same, the implied meaning is that your life will be colorful, which is the idea of Miss Isabella.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe two dishes here are also made by Miss Isabella. The cream corn is especially particular, which Iâve never seen before. Because it took a lot of time, Miss Isabella got up to cook this dish at 4 oâclock,â the head chef introduced.
Josephâs eyes sparkled.
âIsabella should get up at 4 oâclock to make breakfast.â
âOh my god, Iâve heard that you came back at ten last night. You are so hard, good girl.â
âItâs fine. Josephâs birthday should be a bit special. In addition, itâs great to let grandpa taste my dishes.â
âCome on, grandpa, let me serve you!â Isabella said with a big smile.
Isabella stood up and scooped a small bowl for Charlie. Then she ran over to Joseph and gave him a small bowl, âDonât look at it doubtfully. Although it looks a little different from the international feast, itâs delicious!â
As Isabella bowed, her hair blew across Josephâs nose, bringing the light fragrance.
Joseph felt the happiness at this moment.
Joseph pushed Isabella away gently, âAlright, Iâll do it myself. You go to eat. Donât be late.â
Isabella winked at him immediately, âYou become considerate on your birthday.â
Joseph didnât know what to say. They were totally different in their sentiments.
They had breakfast happily. Charlie had a big grin on his face and Joseph was also in a rare good mood. Not only did he ask Isabella how to cook dishes in a soft voice, but he also offered to send her to school in the morning.
Isabella knew that her flattery was very useful, so she calmly accepted Josephâs feedback.
âIâve heard from William that youâll have a performance tonight. Cancel it.â
Joseph got in the car and said directly, âMy birthday banquet will start at 8 p.m. You must attend and Iâll solve the problem of breaking the contract for the performance.â
