Chapter 205

“What? Now that you’re a company president, you don’t recognize your old friend anymore?” Gordon’s casual voice came through the phone, and Isabella chuckled, her tense nerves relaxing considerably.

“What are you talking about? I’m not that ungrateful.” While joking with him, she grabbed her coat and left her office. “If you have time, come to Nemotors and I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Gordon snorted. “Stingy, trying to pass me off with cafeteria food.”

“Remember the hard times. Don’t underestimate cafeteria food.” Isabella entered the elevator, asking seriously, “Are you coming? I’ll treat you to the most expensive menu.”

Gordon laughed. He was just here to see her, so it didn’t matter what he ate.

“Order the most expensive/menu, and I’ll be there soon.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

09:54 Mon, 8 Jan G Chapter 205 Old Friends Never Leave After hanging up the phone, the elevator arrived at the ground floor, and Isabella greeted Alex once again. Alex informed her that she had organized a lunch gathering and told her not to worry. Isabella sighed. Some people were indeed born for the workplace; Alex wasted no time fitting into the department.

She walked into the cafeteria, which was quite large, but not many people were there. From time to time, people came over to greet her, and a few middle managers wanted to join her for a meal. However, when they saw that she had ordered quite a lot, they knew she had made plans and wisely didn’t try to join her.

Half an hour later, Gordon walked in, dressed in sportswear and shorts, with a badminton racket on his back, looking like he had just finished exercising.

Isabella stood up and waved, immediately attracting a lot of attention. There were already rumors about her unusual relationship with Seth, and now, on her first day, she was seen meeting with Gordon, which led to whispers among the onlookers.

Gordon sat down in front of Isabella, immediately gulping down half a glass of water, his forehead covered in sweat. Isabella took out the tissue she 09:54 Mon, 8 Jan G Chapter 205 Old Friends Never Leave carried with her. “Need a wipe?”

Raising an eyebrow, Gordon ignored the people around, leaned his face forward, and smirked. “You wipe it for me.”

Isabella was speechless. Without the hesitation she had when they first met, she directly threw the tissue at his face. “Wipe it yourself!”

Gordon clicked his tongue. “You weren’t like this the first time we met.”

Isabella hummed, “How was I the first time we met? Like when you splashed water on me?”

Gordon was speechless. “Why are you bringing up old scores?” Worried that the topic would deviate, he quickly glanced at the food on the table and complained. “No appetite. Looks greasy.”

Isabella guessed that he wouldn’t be able to eat much after exercising, so she thought for a moment and said, “Wait here; I’ll get you some fruit.”

Gordon rested his arm on the chair and nodded casually. “Okay.”

Chapter 205 Old Friends Never Leave Isabella went to the food window. There weren’t many decent fruits, so she picked a relatively fresh watermelon and, while she had time, quickly ordered a takeaway. Not for anything else, but Gordon was a friend after all, and it would be too disappointing to have him come all this way for a bad meal.

She brought the watermelon back, and Gordon had already finished the first.

two glasses of water.

“Wait, I ordered something. It’ll be here soon.”

Gordon didn’t care. He put two pieces of watermelon in his mouth and was pleasantly surprised. “It’s quite sweet.” As he spoke, he picked up another piece and held it up to her mouth.

Taken aback, Isabella hesitated for a bit, and he frowned. “What’s wrong?

There’s no saliva on it!”

Isabella had no choice but to open her mouth. The chilled watermelon entered her mouth, sweet and refreshing, and the man across from her raised an eyebrow at her, his smile mischievous. “Sweet, isn’t it?”

Isabella’s mood improved. “Yes, it’s sweet.”

09:54 Mon, 8 Jan Chapter 205 Old Friends Never Leave Gordon squinted his eyes, looking pleased and content, eating watermelon and teasing her, “In just a few days, you’ve become the president of Nemotors. Should I call you Miss President when we meet?”

Isabella’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. “Go ahead, say it, and let me hear it.”

Rolling his eyes, he stuffed another piece of watermelon into her mouth.

“Dream on.”

Isabella chewed the cool and refreshing watermelon. “According to the hierarchy, I’m now on par with your father.”

Suddenly, Gordon found the watermelon in his mouth not so sweet anymore.

He had been urged by Xavier to go to the company to learn the ropes recently, and he had originally planned to hide for a few more years. But after hearing what Isabella said, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Isabella caught the change in his expression and thought that she had said something wrong. Just as she was about to ask, her phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. She made a gesture and 09:54 Mon, 8 Jan Chapter 205 Old Friends Never Leave lowered her head to answer the call. “Hello?”

“Miss Symons, this is Jordan. Some of the information has been sent to your email.”

In an instant, she became serious. “Okay, I got it.”

There was a pause on Jordan’s end as if he had something else to say, but then there was no sound.

Isabella was a bit bewildered. “Jordan?”

“Sorry, it’s nothing.”

Beep, beep, beep.

Left in confusion, she glanced at her phone, then looked up in thought.

Gordon took a peek at her phone. “Who was it?”

Isabella put down her phone. “It’s nothing.”

Gordon reckoned that it was probably work-related, which he had no interest 09:55 Mon, 8 Jan G Chapter 205 Old Friends Never Leave in, and his face fell a bit when he recalled the earlier topic. Meanwhile, Isabella thought he wasn’t feeling well from the food, which made her feel even more guilty, so she went to the window to find something else for him.

70 As Gordon enjoyed her attention, his mood gradually brightened, and he insisted on feeding her whatever he was eating. Helplessly, Isabella found it inappropriate at first, but later, she became numb to it.
