That shop did serve delicious afternoon tea.
Brittany shook her head, “No thanks.”
The employee didn’t press further.
Brittany found Isaac after he wrapped up some business talk. Setting aside his paperwork, he scooped
her up in his arms and ced her on the edge of the desk.
Propping himself up beside her with his hands, he suggested, “How about we drop Daniel off at the
Salter Manor tonight and go out for a date?”
Her cheeks flushed with a rosy tint, “You n it.”
Though they had known each other for years, their actual time spent together was surprisingly little,
and dates were even rarer.
“Alright, tonight I’ll take you to a private screening room.”
Isaac’s hand caressed Brittany’s waist. Ever since they had reconciled, he was like a wolf who’d
rediscovered the taste for meat, wanting to be near her every chance he got.
If only work weren’t so demanding.
Brittany missed him too. Her arms reaching for his neck, leaning in for a kiss.
Isaac was taken aback but pleasantly surprised. He grasped the back of her head, deepening the kiss
passionately!
Their tongues tangled.
Sweetness exchanged.
Breath hot and fervent.
His warm hand slipped beneath her blouse, revealing a sliver of her pale midriff.
Just then, the office door swung open.
Isaac quickly pulled Brittany into his embrace, shooting a cold nce at the intruder, “Get out!”
“Bro Isaac… I’m sorry, I didn’t realize Ms. Dustin was here…”
Joie stood at the door, her eyes brimming with tears, holding pastries and atte.
Brittany, her moment ruined, was slightly irked
She straightened her clothes and stepped away from Isaac, “Joie?”
“I’ve started working at thepany.”
Joie looked as though she’d seen a ghost, cautiously exining, “If Ms. Dustin minds, I can resign right
away.”
Despite Brittany not recalling ever expressing any annoyance, Joie seemed quite
unsettled. Brittany could sense that Joie was ying the innocent again.
“Who said you could enter the CEO’s office without knocking?”
Isaac’s patience with Joie was wearing thin.
Joie stammered, “Bro Isaac, I’m sorry, I just wanted to bring you some snacks…”
Brittany narrowed her eyes, realizing this was the new colleague from the marketing department.
“Take your things and remember to knock next time.”
Joie, eyes red, left the room.
Isaac didn’t want Brittany to worry, “She submitted her resume on her own; I didn’t help her.”

Brittany covered Isaac’s lips with her hand, “I know, you wouldn’t do that.”
Isaac inherently despised nepotism and wouldn’t make exceptions, not even for Joie.
He held her hand, “She once helped Grandma, couldn’t be too harsh. I’m sorry to you and Daniel…”
“As long as you don’t assist her, it’s fine.”
Brittany didn’t see Joie as a threat; even if she lingered around Isaac, she couldn’t stir up trouble.
It actually gave Brittany an opportunity!
After staying in thepany for two hours, Brittany was ready to leave.
The entire marketing department buzzed with rumors about how Joie tried to bring Mr. Salter a snack,
only to return teary-eyed. Many spected that Brittany had given her a hard time.
On her way out, Brittany overheard their gossip and was annoyed.
Joie’s acting skills, honed in the entertainment industry, were Oscar-worthy.
The group was startled mid-discussion as Brittany raised an eyebrow, “Joie was scolded for not
knocking, not because I made things difficult for her.”
“Ms. Dustin…”
They turned pale with fear.
Joie stood among them, biting her lip in a disy of sorrow.
Approaching, Brittany remarked, “If you’re part of thepany, it’s important to adhere to our policies.
Please avoid entering the CEO’s office without proper authorization moving forward.”
“Understood, Ms. Dustin,” Joie replied, with a look of restrained endurance in her eyes, drawing
sympathy from her colleagues.
Brittany added with a disarming smile, “And, Zakky doesn’t like sweet food, so no need to bring those
anymore. Why not give them to the director instead?”
Joie’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson.
