Chapter 43
Isabe slept in the infirmary for half a day. When she woke up, she saw
Gordon ying games beside her. She opened her mouth and tried to speak
but felt like something was lodged in her throat.
Gordon nced at her and quickly noticed she was awake. He smiled. “Hey.”
Isabe nodded and gulped, the pain making her frown. “Thanks.”
Gordon clicked his tongue. He didn’t like it when she was being so formal: Still,
he got up and summoned a doctor to check on her.
“She’s fine, She can ingest food now. Just make sure it’s nothing heavy.”
Isabe couldn’t even interject. So, Gordon ended up bing her

spokesperson. Once he sent the doctor away, he got her some food.

Gordon looked at her. He kindly didn’t mention the unhappy affair the night
before. Isabe didn’t want to ignore it, however. “Thanks for helping me,
Gordon.”
“Verbal gratitude means nothing.” Gordon cocked his eyebrow.
Isabe choked on her words. A momentter, she said, “I know. I have
nothing to repay you with but empty promises.” She raised her head and
looked at him. “But I will repay this favor, trust me.”
Gordon only wanted to tease her. So, the moment she started taking things
seriously, any amusement he found from it shriveled and died. Since he

wasn’t talking to her, she didn’t see the need to say anything either.
“I’ll be staying for a couple of days. What’s next for you?” He looked at her.
She tossed away the Q-tip that she was pressing against the hole left by the
needle as she said, “I gotta go back to work. I’m going to get my *ss
reprimanded at this rate.”
He clicked his tongue and waved dismissively. “Then, get back to work. You’re
so annoying.” He took his phone out. “I’ll get you a ride.”
Isabe shut up and allowed him to make the arrangements. Once he was
done, she said, “Thanks. Dinner’s on me next time.”
Gordon cocked his eyebrow as his mood brightened. “Really?”

Isabe smiled as she said, “I’m not as poor as you think. I can afford a meal.”
“And I can pick the food?” Gordon yed with his phone, his eyes glinting.
Isabe nodded. “Yes.”
“Deal.” Gordon snapped his fingers and put a hand in his pocket. Then, he
stood up. “I’m taking you home myself.”
Isabe paused for a moment. “I can go home by myself.”
“You’re treating me to dinner. I can’t let a patient go home by herself,” he
retorted as he extended his hand to help her get up.
She couldn’t do anything about it. Nevertheless, she tried to keep skin contact
to a minimum when they left the infirmary as quickly as possible.

He went to get his car, and she waited at the infirmary’s entrance. It was high
noon, and the sun was ring. Her head was woozy.
A ck Maybach came out of the underground car park. Then, it stopped
before Isabe. The driver quickly changed cards with the guard. The
co-driver seat’s window rolled down, revealing Selena inside. “Leaving too,
Isabe?”
Isabe ignored her and looked into the car. From where she stood, she could
only see Seth’s hands and knees. She could guess that he was leaning on the
back of the seat.
Just when she was spacing out, Gordon came back with his car. He had
rolled the roof down as he shouted at her. Isabe looked away and went
around the Maybach. Then, she went to Gordon’s car.

When she went past the Maybach, the backseat door rolled down. The car
was ck inside, and Seth was in a ck suit. He was still pale, but he looked
regal. He turned his head to the side and met Isabe’s gaze.
Isabe met his eyes, and she could see the mockery in them. She was
reminded of what he said to her the night before. She then realized she was
walking toward Gordon. Thus, she knew what the mockery in his eyes meant.
-She stood straight, looking unfazed, and then went into Gordon’s car’s
co-driver seat.
“They’re so slow,” Gordon said impatiently. Then, he promptly mmed the
horn and honked loudly.
Worried that they might get into a fight, Isabe said softly, “We can wait. I’m
still dizzy, so I could use this opportunity to get some rest.”

Gordon looked at her and felt his temper cool. He got her a bottle of water
from thepartment on his side of the door. “Here.”
Isabe took the water, uncapped it, and took a sip. The moment she capped
it back, the car before them moved.
Gordon cursed and quickly drove, then he swiped his card and left the
racecourse.
It was a silent trip. When Isabe came back to thepany, it was already
noon. She kept thanking Gordon, but he said nothing in response. Instead, he
asked her when the dinner would be.
A resigned Isabe said she would call him in a week.
So, it was a happy Gordon that drove away. Isabe heaved a sigh of relief
Chapter 43 The Wolf’s Here
and held her belly as she went into thepany slowly. She ran into two of
her female colleagues who were sending a client off. One of them was
holding the client’s arm and nearly squishing her chest against it.
“Isabe, you’re back.” Jonas came out of his office and simpered at Isabe.
He sized her up. “Got anything?”
Isabe was holding bags in both hands, and she shrugged. “Hit the limit this
month, I think. I’d be lucky to sell three cars.”
She thought Jonas would mock her, but heughed and huddled closer.
Then, he put an arm around her shoulder as he showered her with fake
encouragement.
