318 Excellent Woman
Isabella nodded in a daze.
âThatâs why he usually brings his secretary to dinner parties. He has several secretaries to help him deal with different situations. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have pissed many people off.â
Isabella could not help but agree, âThatâs true.â
âWhat? You know?â Cedric was stunned.
âI heard from Jayden before.â
Isabella said with a smile, âIâm so surprised. He is totally different from the mysterious image in my heart. You know, many people, including university students, are very interested in Joseph. He is the heir of the Wilson Consortium. He is very wealthy and popular. In their eyes, he is mysterious and low-key.â
âYes, you are right.â
Cedric smiled. âI heard that Jayden and Zachary often took him to have fun in nightclubs or other crowded places. They hoped that he could learn how to get along with others, but it didnât work. Although his handsome appearance can attract girls, he will piss them off in just a few words.â
Isabella could not help but burst out laughing.
.....
Seeing that Isabella was in a good mood, Cedric took her to the deck and said, âThe weather is pretty good now. You should go bask in the sun and relax. Zachary asked me to go diving. Iâm gonna hang out with them for a while. I will be back soon.â
âNo problem. Cedric, just go ahead. I will take good care of myself.â
âGreat! Just call me if you need anything.â
Cedric left and had fun with the other men happily at the bow of the yacht.
Joseph was wearing a swimming suit. His perfect figure was particularly stunning in the crowd. He used his strong arms to pick Zachary up and throw him off the yacht. Then, he stood akimbo and laughed out loud.
He was so happy when he was with his friends who grew up with him.
Usually, he looked arrogant and unapproachable.
Isabella stared at Josephâs handsome face. When she thought of what had happened to Cedricâs mother, she suddenly felt a little depressed and began to ponder.
She remembered the day when Lukas sold her for eight hundred million. After crying, she leaned on Josephâs back and told him about her father, Slike, who died in the explosion back then. She said that she would often think of Slike and would not forget him.
Joseph was silent for a long time.
At that time, she thought that Joseph didnât speak because it was Isabellaâs painful past and he was being polite.
However, could it be that he was thinking of his mother who had also died miserably?
Isabella sighed softly. Joseph had hidden his feelings well. They shared the same fate and had more topics to talk about. They could comfort each other. Why had he never told her?
He treated her differently. Was it because he shared the same fate with her?
âMiss Isabella.â
A gentle voice sounded from behind. Isabella turned around. It was Stella.
âIf you donât mind, can I talk to you? Itâs about the misunderstanding between you and Joseph,â Stella said as she held her hands in front of her chest.
Isabella was stunned and nodded. âOf course.â
They came to Stellaâs room.
Her room was very different from other peopleâs. It was spacious and bright. It was the best place on the yacht to see the scenery outside. There were many fresh flowers. The sheets and other decorations were all unique and purple, which was elegant. It was different from other rooms. The environment was very good.
Stella cooked a cup of coffee for Isabella. It looked delicious in the white cup.
Isabella looked at the orchid on the windowsill and suddenly remembered the gossip she had read about Stella before. Stella loved light purple most, which was elegant and mysterious. Stella loved a room full of sunshine. She liked orchids the most. She liked to cook a cup of coffee when she was free.
Joseph was really considerate. The room he prepared for Stella was so special.
Sure enough, she was so different in his heart.
âHow does it taste?â Stella asked gently, âI have been taking medicine recently, and my taste has become very dull. I canât really taste it. If you feel that there is anything wrong, I can cook it again.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, thereâs no need. Itâs very good.â
The only direct contact Isabella had with Stella was at the entrance of the Globe Building. She reached out to say hi to Stella, but Stella didnât respond.
At that time, she felt that Stella was very arrogant and was not very friendly to her. Now she knew that she had misjudged Stella.
Isabella looked at Stellaâs beautiful face, elegant posture, and gentle temper. Isabella finally knew why Joseph treated Stella so special. Stella was so outstanding.
âThank you for accepting my invitation.â
Stella cooked herself a cup of coffee and sat opposite Isabella. âYou and Joseph have misunderstood each other so much and didnât talk to each other for the past few days. I thought you hated me.â
Isabella was slightly awkward. âI admit that I was angry at Joseph for what he did to me, but Iâm not angry at you, Ms. Stella. I believe that if my man doesnât love me, it is not because he is attracted to other women, but because Iâm not in his heart anymore.â
Stella nodded. âYou are indeed a very special girl. No wonder Joseph likes you.â
Isabella didnât know what to say.
Stella thought for a moment. âBefore I explain this matter, can I ask what the relationship between you and Cedric is?â
Isabella thought for a moment and said frankly, âWe met a few times when we were young and had a great time together. Later, by chance, I attended the Stretton familyâs blind date party.â
Isabella paused for a moment. âCurrently, we want to see if things can work out between us.â
Stella nodded thoughtfully. âIs it because of what happened between me and Joseph? Do you only want to anger Joseph?â
Isabella shook her head. âItâs not like that. I just felt that I had more options. If he doesnât love me, I should end the relationship as soon as possible. I donât want myself to be in pain in the future. I donât want to get hurt.â
âBut it was a misunderstanding!â
Stella suddenly became excited. âMiss Isabella! It was my fault that day! I couldnât accept the fact that Joseph suddenly fell in love with another woman. I couldnât accept the fact that he would leave me to marry another woman. That was why I wanted to end my life. But I really just wanted to relieve my pain. I donât want to cause a misunderstanding. Can you forgive him?â
