Loveless Marriage

As she was about to enter her room, the door on the opposite side was suddenly opened.

Minh, who stood at the door, was stunned seeing them.

The atmosphere became eerily quiet. Isabella was also caught off guard and her reactions became slow.

"Miss, Miss Jones, who is this?" Minh'd never met Christian before. He only felt him a bit familiar, but he wasn't sure.

Christian remained indifferent. He glanced at him and guessed that the man on the phone should be him. Then he intimately explained, "Her friend."

Isabella went back to her sense as she stuttered, "err, yes, f... friend."

Minh laughed, and praised him generously, "Even her friend is handsome as such. Nice to meet you, my name is Minh Johnson. I work in the same department with Miss Jones." Isabella was already used to his personality, so she didn't care much. Afraid that Christian would say too much, she quickly interrupt him, "Hasn't John woken up?"

"Oh, he has already went for breakfast." He looked at them and asked: "Miss Jones, have you eaten yet? Would you like me to buy some for you?"

Isabella smiled and quickly waved her hand, "There's no need. We just had breakfast. Hurry up, we would have work to do later."

"Then he came here for...

"Nothing, he'll leave right away." Afraid that Christian would say something, Isabella quickly urged Minh: "Come back early."

It was already very awkward have him see them. He would definitely guess something if he knew Christian's name, with his shrewdness. "Oh, okay, I'll go now." Minh even nodded towards Christian.

They were of similar height, but either of temperament or appearance, Christian was way more eye-catching, who had an aura of the elite.

But one was young and aggressive, the other prudent and steady. Even when Minh stood in front of him, he wasn't defeated by his aura. He was completely not like Mr. Smith when standing in front of Christian.

Isabella couldn't help but take another look at Minh who had already left. A natural leader?

Her eyes were sharp as a torch.

Christian, of course, didn't miss the complacency and admiration in her eyes. He casually asked with his eyes dimmed, "You like him?"

Without looking at him, she unconsciously nodded, "Yeah. He's a talent."

But in the next second, her face suddenly changed as she turned around and stared at him, "Does that have anything to do with you? Aren't you going to rest? Get out of here. Don't let me see you again." She then entered the room and slammed the door shut without even looking at him. She cut him off completely.

After that, Christian hadn't pestered again. Not knowing whether he went to rest or else, Isabella just put her mind on work again.

After planning out all the companies they would visit in the morning, she left the hotel with Minh and John.

As an internet technology company, Benton was actually quite well-known in this industry. Its business scope ranged from webpage developing to system development. Her main task on this trip was to collect and sort out the feedback data of users and some bugs of their products.

The first company was one which developed medical apparatus and instruments.

Isabella got off the car and checked the navigation chart on her phone, saying: "It should be the right place, right?"

Minh burst out laughing. He pointed at the big words on the building, "If the words aren't wrong, then it should be."

Isabella suddenly felt embarrassed, then she coughed lightly and said: "Then here it is. Let's get into it."

She found a driver who didn't know the way either, so she could only use the GPS by herself. She lost way a few times, and was laughed by the two young men all the way.

They followed the staff and finished collecting all the data after a few hours. Finally, they were enthusiastically invited to take a look at the latest product.

The gradual development of intelligent medicine had also helped Isabella's company expand their businesses. Although she couldn't understand it at all, she still followed them to take a look. There were someone specifically explained every product to them in the workshop.

Suddenly, Minh curiously asked: "Are these all finished products? Can we experience them?"

The staff smiled and nodded, "Of course. These have all been tested and can be immediately put into use. Do you wanna have a try? And all the researchers here have learned medicine." Minh touched his chin with curiosity, and suddenly pushed John who was behind him, saying, "John, go and try that MRI instrument."

John was startled, "Why don't you have a try?"

Minh giggled, reaching out his hand in a gesture of invitation, "Senior first."

Looking at him, John was helpless. He then entered the cubicle.

Through the glass wall, Isabella saw the people operating the equipment. She then approached Minh and asked, "What are you doing? He didn't offend you, did he?"

Minh raised his brows and curled his lips, "He snored all night and I didn't get much sleep."

Hearing that, Isabella frowned lightly, then muttered, "It looks like I made a mistake. I shouldn't have just ordered one room for you two."

Minh instantly smiled apologetically, "I was just joking. They had already said that there's no problem with this device, so he's just medical examination for free. You see, I'm only worried about his health." Isabella glanced sideways at him, and didn't say a word.

She didn't believe that he was that kind.

He was more cunning than anyone in the department.

Suddenly, Isabella looked at him strangely, and then took a step back. "Maybe... that there is something wrong with your body?"

Minh's face darkened immediately, "..."

What did she mean by taking a few steps away from him?

With her arms crossed before her chest, she looked at the apparatus and laughed out softly, "In view of your aliveness, I don't think you will die even if you don't eat for days."

Minh pounded his chest, pretending to be upset, "Miss Jones...Don't hurt my heart, please."

After a while, John came out. They need to wait a while to get the result. Then Isabella patted Minh's shoulder, saying, "As a leader, I shouldn't be partial to anyone. Now it's your turn, Minh." Minh's smile froze, "It... Is even necessary?"

Isabella then said suspiciously, "Is there really problem with your body?"

"I'll go!" Minh said.

Isabella shook her head and laughed as she watched Minh walked in as if he was to die.

When he came out, she was naturally the next one. Furthermore, as she was the manager, the staff even enthusiastically invited her to try other new products.

All these devices had radiation, and pregnant women were not allowed to get close. Isabella naturally wouldn't have a try.

She smiled and tactfully refused, "Since they've already tried, I don't need to. Besides, I'm during my period, so it might be a good time. Thank you so much." Hearing that, the staff had no choice but to give up.00000
