Loveless Marriage

Shawn starred at her, as if his usually refined-face was now covered heavily by haze. There was a dense hostility spread to every corner.

With his thin lips tightened, he suddenly let go of her hand and said in a deep but cold voice, "If you feel bored, you can keep the child. Or you can abort him if you want." Hearing this, Sarah smiled faintly and said, "If I'm bored, I can have a dog. Children are too noisy."

Her meaning was obvious.

Shawn's aura instantly became even colder.

The smile on Sarah face became deeper as she said, "Alright, since you've made up your decision, then you don't need to go home tomorrow afternoon."

With that, she walking out on her high heels without looking back.

This time, Shawn didn't stop her. He just curled his finger without a sound.

In Benton Technology, Brighton, Isabella pressed an internal call from her office.

"John, come over here."

A few seconds later, John knocked on the door and entered.

"Miss Jones, what can I do for you?"

Frowning, Isabella flipped through the documents in her hands and asked, "Are you sure that you have sent the project proposal over to Fantasy? Why haven't we received any response yet?"

Before Shawn left, they had clearly settled all the contract details, and she had also sent all the information and proposals to him. But they hadn't received any response until now. She was a little doubtful abou whether it was an casual oral promise from Shawn.

John was also confused, "I've called them several times, but they just said that they were quite busy these days and we may need to wait for another few days." "Wait for another few days?"

Isabella placed the document on the table impatiently and started pondering.

It was going to be the end of the year if they kept waiting. By then, It was hard to say if she would still be in the company working.

Although she had no good impression of Shawn, this thing was related to the benefits of Benton. She wanted the bonus.

When she thought of the money, Isabella immediately became spirited, saying, "Please book two flight tickets, no, three tickets. You'll come with me with Minh. "

She hesitated for a bit, but still decided to bring Minh along. Ever since she discovered that his working ability and cleverness, Isabella felt that if she didn't train him more, it would be a waste. "You're going to Fantasy?" John was a little surprised.

"Yeah, let's go take a look. It's better than sitting still and waiting for death, right? It can also show that we're sincere for this cooperation. " Isabella smiled confidently.

Since Rachel was not by her side recently, she could be a bit more at ease.

"Oh, okay."

A few minutes after John left, Minh knocked on the door and came over, "Miss Jones, are you really taking me to London?"

"Why, you haven been occupied? If you're not free, then you don't have to go." Isabella said.

"No, it's not like that." Minh grinned. "If I go to London, can I take half a day off to visit a friend?"

"You have friends over there?" Isabella asked.

"Yes, a university classmate." He nodded.

"Alright, let's see after we get there."

"Thank you, Miss Jones."

Then Isabella went downstairs to eat lunch and received a call from Christian.

"Hello."

"Have you had lunch?" Christian started to ask about this as usual.

Isabella curled her lips as she said, "I'm going to have it."

"Okay."

After that, Christian stopped talking, as if he was waiting for her to ask.

Understanding his intention, Isabella stayed silent for a few seconds, then causally asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" He was now abroad, so there was jetlag.

"I still have some work to do." His voice suddenly became gentle, and he seemed to be smiling.

Isabella felt like she had been tricked, and her face blushed. Then she said, "Then I won't disturb you any further. Bye."

"Wait."

"Can't you ask some more questions? Like am I tired or not? Have I stayed with other woman or something?" Christian sighed.

Isabella's expression became extremely strange. She walked in to the restaurant, found a place to sit, and snorted, "I don't care if you're tired or busy. As for whether there is some woman by your side, isn't it just perfect? You can get rid of all your fatigue when someone is serving you."

"That woman was truly merciless when she spoke." Christian thought.

Isabella paused for a bit and added, "Don't you feel that your words...makes you like an idiot?"

Christian, "..."

Thinking of his darkened face, Isabella suddenly laughed extremely happily.

Then she asked, "Oh yeah, do you know what happened to Simons' company?"

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"The cooperation that I had with them has respond at all. I want to go over and take a look in the next few days." She said.

Their company suddenly became so busy that they didn't even have time to give her any response, which was quite strange. Maybe there was something going on in Fantasy.

"You're going to London?" His voice suddenly became serious.

"Is there a problem?" Isabella asked.

"He probably isn't in the mood to worry about you guys right now. You may go there in vain."

He obviously knew something.

Isabella raised her eyebrows, "Do you know why?"

Christian lazily said, "What other reasons could there be? He may lose to some business competition and is now trying to salvage the situation. He probably have no time to care about a small company like Benton. Even if you go there, you might not even be able to meet a senior executive."

Hearing this, Isabella went silent and started pondering.

Her bonus couldn't be for naught, right?

After a long while, she said doubtfully, "How can I believe your words? All of you are quite scheming, and I feel that you don't like him as well. This is about the interest of my company, and I must fight for it." After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes."

"With whom?"

"My assistant, and Minh."

Hearing the name of Minh, Christian over there frowned, "You like this brat?"

Isabella responded without restraint, "He's a talent with great potential, worth training."

"He's not as simple as you think."

Isabella's face changed: "What do you mean by that?"

She did indeed have a lot of doubts about Minh, but she had never told anyone yet.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
