Loveless Marriage

"Let's put this aside first. I'll consider it later." Mr. Smith then changed the topic, "This week you'll take two people to Leeds. We have a few clients over there." Isabella's expression changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up. Then she nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange the trip."

Looking at her, Mr. Smith sighed and said, "You've been working very hard recently, but rest assured, I'll definitely pay you the reward."

Isabella remained silent for a second, then smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Smith."

He always did this. It was only when she got money could she smiled.

The office was in an uproar when she left Mr. Simons' office.

Then Isabella coincidentally met with Minh. She asked him curiously: What's going on? What happened?"

Minh raised the lunchbox in his hands, and said with a smile: "It's from Polygon. They sent a pretty girl to bring us snacks and desserts." "Snacks and desserts? They are so kind?" Isabella raised her eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

Christian had already left Brighton. Could it be that he had ordered it before he left?

"Aren't they? But the point is the pretty girl. Other than me, those men were crazy about her." Minh looked at her complacently.

"Huh, as if you're gay." Isabella rolled her eyes and looked at them in disdain. After that, she decided to return to her office.

"Miss Jones." Someone called her from behind.

Isabella stopped in her tracks and turned to look, just in time to see the so-called 'pretty girl'. Then her body froze.

Lexie Perez?

Now, the pretty girl who had made all men crazy was actually Lexie. Wearing a sexy and tight knitted skirt, with wavy hair, fair skin, and a tall and slim figure, she was like a star.

So it turned out that the filiale which Christian said that he had transferred Lexie to, was the one in Brighton.

She just thought that how he could bear to lose such a beauty.

After disdaining Christian in her heart, she walked over gracefully with a faint smile. "I heard that Polygon has kindly brought us snacks and desserts, but I hadn't thought you would come personally. That's so kind of you, Miss Perez."

Lexie smiled, whose pretty and bright face didn't change a bit, "The two companies are so close, so I just bought some here by the way. Oh right, I also specially bought one for you, Miss Jones."

As she said that, she handed a paper cup over to Isabella, "I heard that it's a new drink in that shop, and it tastes very good. Have a try, Miss Jones. If it's good, I'll let them buy you more in the future." Isabella then looked down at the paper cup in her hand.

With so many people watching, she had no choice but to take it. But she definitely didn't believe that Lexie would be so kind to especially bring her a drink.

After she took it, her hand felt cold.

A cold glint flashed past Isabella's eyes.

Icy?

Now it was already late autumn. Who would even drink icy drinks?

What the hell did she want to do?

"Miss Jones, have a try?" Lexie smiled gently.

Isabella lowered down at it, then carefully took a small sip.

The drink was bitterly cold, so cold that her teeth chattered and her palms felt numb.

How much ice did she put in?

"How is it?" Looking at her, Lexie smiled.

Originally, she wanted to hold it in her mouth for a while, but she also needed to speak so she had to swallow it. A bone-chilling cold spread through her throat, making her feel very uncomfortable. But Isabella remained calm and even pretended to taste it, saying, "Not bad, actually."

Then, she looked at Lexie, "Miss Perez, you've been very considerate, and we cannot let you spend the money for nothing."

"Minh."

"Eh, Miss Jones!" Minh said.

"I think this shop is good. Order twenty cups of this flavour to the Polygon. Tell them they were treated by Miss Perez."

Hearing that, Lexie's face immediately changed, but she still forced a smile: "I've already ordered for my colleagues. We can't drink that much."

Isabella nodded and replied straightforwardly: "Alright then, we'll order another day."

Lifting the cup in her hand, she laughed, "Thank you for the coffee, Miss Perez. I still have work to do, so excuse me. Minh, come with me."

"Ah, okay."

Isabella then entered the office, followed by Minh who closed the door out of habit.

Isabella placed the coffee on table, then took a sip of the hot water.

Her action was neither fast nor slow. It looked casual, but it caught Minh's attention. However, he only frowned lightly, and then asked: "Miss Jones, what's the matter?"

"A chance to learn, do you want it?" Isabella put down the cup and looked at him meaningfully.

To be honest, she got her eyes on Minh's talent. He wasn't very simple but not a bad person. He always knew what to say or do, so she didn't need to worry about him.

It is the responsibility of every superior in a company to train the younger generation.

But the most important thing was for herself. Isabella knew that she wouldn't stay here for long, but she didn't plan to resign either. During the period of maternity and breastfeeding, she definitely wouldn't have enough energy or time to take care of the company issues, so she could only find someone she trusted to help her.

For her children and parents, she had to plan for the future well. She couldn't lose her job.☐☐☐
