Ten minutes later, Isabella sat in the passenger seat of Corey’s car with a sullen face,

her mind in complete disarray, unsure of how she had ended up in this situation.

Leonard’s seafood restaurant was a place she dreaded, as she was almost certain to

run into Seth there.

Lately, she had managed to maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship

without seeing him. It would be a problem to even greet him if they met privately.

She was annoyed, and Corey, sitting next to her, kept affectionately calling her “Bella” as

if he were her younger brother.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Corey parked the car.

Isabella followed him with heavy footsteps.

Corey wore a smile on his face, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort, and walked

ahead on his own.

Just as they reached the staircase, two groups of people came toward them.

康

Isabella was lost in thought when she heard a gasp. She looked up and almost had a

heart attack on the spot.

Leonard was leading Simon and Dariel, apparently having just finished ordering their

fish, followed by several waiters.

Gordon and Tyrone were with Freya and Lyra, clearly having just arrived.

The three groups collided, and the scene froze for a moment.

Isabella was on the verge of a breakdown, screaming inwardly.

Freya had just been consoled by Lyra. Seeing Isabella and Corey together, she burst into

tears again, trembling as she accused, “Corey, didn’t you say you didn’t like…”

Corey, with one hand in his pocket, turned to Isabella and winked. Then he answered,

“Please don’t misunderstand this. Leonard invited us to dinner, and I just brought Bella,

who’s like my sister, along.”

Isabella forced a laugh. “Yes, I’m here to freeload on Mr. Leonard’s meal.”

“You guys look chummy.” Leonard’s gaze swept over them, and then he exchanged a

strange look with Dariel. “Why don’t we all go up? We can have a good time together.

My treat.”

Gordon was not pleased and objected. “There’s no need.”
