Chapter 250
Izabe basked in the sunlight, her thin hairs clearly visible. Her skin was already pale, and now
under the light and shadow, it looked even more transparent.
Izabe noticed Liaming, so she walked in with the lunch box.
She nced at the receptionist who had attended to her earlier but said nothing.
"Let''s go upstairs."
Liam cleverly understood what she meant, "I''ll inform the front deskter so they let you in directly
next time."
"Thanks," she said. It would save a lot of time, and she wouldn''t have to wait outside.
Liam walked on Izabe''s right side, took the lunch box from her, and nced at Madeline.
Even though it was just an ordinary look, Madeline felt a chill down her spine.
From the entrance to the elevator, thanks to a pass card, she smoothly made her way to the top
floor president''s office.
Liam handed the ess card to Izabe, making it easier for her toe and go.
"Where''s Brett?" Izabe asked as she took the card.
She had just called Brett, and it was Liam who answered.
"Is he still in a meeting?"
Liam nodded. No one could really persuade Brett when it came to work. Izabe took out her phone
and checked the time—it was already 12:20 pm. How serious could the issue be if they were still in
a meeting by now?
Liam didn''t discuss work matters with Izabe; he just put the lunch box on a nearby table and said,
"Ma''am, I''ll call President Windham right away. You can have a seat here, and I''ll summon a
secretary."
"You go ahead. No need to worry about me."
Liam left, and shortly after, a female secretary walked in, poured a ss of water for Izabe, and
eyed her respectfully but curiously.
Like that woman at the front desk, her first thought was: This is the president''s wife?
They had imagined the president''s wife differently, but she was actually ordinary-looking, albeit with
delicate features. She was modestly dressed and had brought a lunch box, possibly a typical
housewife.
"Ma''am, here''s your water."
"Thank you." Izabe never stared at someone for so long; she took a discreet nce at the other
person while sipping her water.
She couldn''t help but notice how gorgeous all of Brett''spany employees were, whether it was
the front deskdy or the secretary before her now.
Beautiful women easily caught the attention of other women.
Izabe eyed the secretary''s name tag.
—J.
She was curvy and sexy, wearing a sleek professional outfit that entuated her figure. She pulled
up her skirt to reveal her long, slender, and smooth legs.
Her long, wavy hair draped over her shoulders, making her face look small. She hadrge eyes, a
tall nose, and a sharp chin. As she leaned forward, Izabe could see her noticeable cleavage.
This was Brett''s secretary?
Suddenly, Izabe felt uneasy. Her expression remained unchanged as she tested the water
temperature and decided to take out her medicine.
J nced at her hand and asked, "Ma''am, are you sick?"
"Stomach problems," Izabe replied, pinching one pill after another.
J was caught off guard by Izabe''s sudden arrival.
She couldn''t help but recall what Kaley had told her, feeling that the president''s wife before her was
very different from the description.
What fierce and cunning woman? At first nce, she seemed gentle and the epitome of a
housewife.
What was there to be alert about a housewife who stayed at home? J couldn''t understand why
Kaley had warned her to be on guard against Izabe.
J was more shrewd than the front desk attendant, Madeline. Despite her modest appearance,
she maintained a warm smile.
Izabe may not remember her past, but she had her own way of judging people. Perhaps it was
because she had once run the Salotti Group that she was quick-witted and saw through J''s
sinister motives.
As Izabe finished her medicine, J''s face showed a friendly smile. "Ma''am, did youe
specifically to bring lunch for President Windham today?"
"Yep."
"President Windham is still in a meeting. He''s been in it since 8 this morning. He often works like
this, almost every day. I need to remind him to eat. By the way, ma''am, have you eaten? President
Windham treats us employees very well. We all have meal packages, and the food in the staff
cafeteria isparable to a three-star hotel. If you haven''t eaten, I can have someone bring you
something, as well as some fruit. I''m not sure if you can eat it with your stomach condition. If you''d
like, I can wash the fruit for you.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am President Windham''s secretary. I joined the Windham Group
two months ago. My name is J, and you can call me J."
Although J seemed enthusiastic in her attempts to please Izabe, the arrogance in her eyes
was unmistakable, as if she were the owner of thepany.
Izabe looked at her with interest, "I''ve already eaten, but thank you. However," she paused, "did
you say you joined the Windham Group two months ago?"
With an air of pride, J raised her chin, "Yes, it''s very difficult to be hired as the Windham Group
president''s secretary."
J casually mentioned her double degrees which was earned abroad.
She had expected to see surprise in Izabe''s eyes, but instead, she just calmly nodded and
responded, "I see."
Then the conversation ended, and J''s prepared "modest" remarks were rendered useless.
Izabe''s calm expression made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
J took a deep breath to calm herself. Actually, part of the reason she was able to join the
Windham Group was thanks to Kaley. She had been waiting for Izabe since she came to the
Windham Group two months ago, but she hadn''t even seen her in person.
Now that she finally met Izabe, J remembered what Kaley had told her. Clenching her fists,
she knew she had to get things done today, or who knew when she would have another chance.
Brett getting a divorce was something everyone would be happy to see, and it would be beneficial
for her as well.
J nced at the door to make sure no one was there, and then asked, "Madam, how long have
you been married to President Windham?"
Izabe casually replied, "Quite a few years now."
"So, howe you guys don''t have any kids yet?"

Why did she bring up the topic of kids? Izabe had a feeling that there was more to J''s
question and that she wasn''t as innocent as she seemed.
