410 A Woman of Terrible Taste
Joseph said in an arrogant tone, âI never drink it. No wonder you want to get the endorsement. Honestly, you are perfect to be its spokes girl. It is as unknown as you.â
âWhat do you mean by saying that? Joseph, not be rude. Okay? I am your fiancée!â
âWell, Iâm sorry.â
Isabella and Joseph went out of the cafe. Then Isabella grabbed Josephâs arm and shouted, âI wonât forgive you! I want to earn some money by working. Why do you feel so unhappy about that?â
Joseph said with indifference, âSo what? How can you feel satisfied with my apology? How about taking you to play something fun tonight?â
Isabella became a little happy. She asked, âI want to go to the amusement park. And I also want to row a boat. Besides, I want to take a hot air balloon. Have you ever taken it? Iâve seen others take it before. I want to do many things. Can you accompany me?â
âThose are too troublesome. Why donât we play with the gift that Angelina gave you, like the cat ears?â Joseph teased.
âJoseph! Youâre filthy. Iâm angry! Do you care about me? Why donât you know about what I want?â Isabella was furious.
Joseph held Isabella and kissed her all of a sudden. Isabella froze on the spot. Joseph finished the kiss and said to her, âAre you still angry?â
.....
âJoseph!â Isabella kicked Joseph. âDonât you feel...â
Joseph kissed Isabella again. After a while, he let go of her and asked again, âDo you feel angry now?â
Isabella blushed. She promised. She replied, âIâm not angry anymore. Just stop kissing me.â
Joseph smirked and pinched Isabellaâs nose. âOkay. Now letâs go to have some delicious food.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Isabella and Joseph left. Thus, they didnât know that someone watched them all the time in the cafe.
The man sat at the corner and took a sip of coffee.
Caleb returned to find that man after a while. Caleb stood before the man and said nervously, âSir, I didnât expect Isabellaâs friend to be so tricky. But Iâve finished the task. Isabella had signed the contract.â
Then Caleb handed over the contract he had signed with Isabella.
The man took the contract and checked it with happiness. He held the contract in his hand and said, âCaleb, you are a good director but not a good actor. Joseph had suspected you.â
Caleb was stunned by what the man said.
âForget it. After all, youâve finished your task.â
The man stood up. âEven though Joseph was suspected, you had successfully made him get hustled. People seem to be fooled without difficulty when they fall in love.â
The man patted Caleb on the shoulder and left.
Caleb fell on the chair after the man left. It seemed that Caleb was scared by the man.
The man walked out of the cafe. He looked strong, and he had golden wavy short hair. He then returned all of a sudden.
He came over to the spot where Isabelle sat before.
The man found two coffee cups placed on the desk. He reached out and picked up a cup that had lipstick on it. He looked at the cup with curiosity.
Then he leaned over his nose toward the cup to smell its smell and smiled.
After that, the man took a sip of the remaining coffee in the cup.
But he frowned after that. He looked weird.
âIt is so sweet.â
The man put down the coffee cup and took a tissue to spit the coffee out. He left again and murmured, âWhat a woman of terrible taste!â
...
In Cedricâs office.
His beautiful secretary knocked on the door and entered. She said with gentleness, âBoss, Ms. Stella has come here. She is already waiting outside.â
Cedric was working. He paused for a moment when he heard this. Then he continued to work and kept a straight face. âDoes she have an appointment? Iâve told you if someone wants to talk to me, he should have an appointment first. Did you forget it? I will cut your bonuses this month. You will be fired if you forget it again next time.â
The secretary apologized in a panic, âSorry, Boss. But...â
âCedric, donât scare her.â
Stella walked into the office elegantly. âI am your friend. I donât think I need an appointment.â
Cedric glanced at Stella and looked upset. He said to the secretary, âYou can leave now.â
The secretary then left.
Thus, there were only Stella and Cedric left in the office.
Cedric then continued to work.
Stella took a step forward. âCedric, I came here for...â
âStop it. If you take another step forward, perhaps we wonât be friends anymore.â Cedric interrupted Stella.
Stella paused and said with sadness, âCedric, I know you think I am wrong for what I had done. But we are friends, arenât we? Can you forgive me? After all, weâve been friends for so many years.â
Cedric stopped working and looked at Stella. âSo, I didnât mind you entering my office without informing me, didnât I? If not, youâve been asked to leave now.â
Stella paused and frowned. She felt embarrassed.
Cedric sighed. âStella, I am different from Joseph. I canât forgive you for your betrayal. I wonât be your friend after you do so. The reason why I helped you before was only because of Joseph.â
Stella said, âI know. And I also know you fought with Joseph for Isabella!â
Cedric replied, âSo what? Itâs not your business. Why did you come here to say that?
âWell, donât worry. Joseph and I will not fight for you. Maybe Kason will do such a thing for you.â
