Chapter 47


    Isabe wasn’t in a hurry to dodge. Mandy then stood up and raised a toast


    to Jonas. Jonas pulled his hand back. After Mandy was done with the toast,


    Isabe quickly stood up and raised a toast to the young junior executives


    Kaiser brought.


    Thedies then left and raised a toast to themselves, but they stopped


    before they could go too far. Isabe was an expert in faking drunkenness.


    She would always pour half her wine away. After the toast to everyone, she


    was already red in the face, but she had only finished a bit of wine.


    As for Mandy, she wasn’t as innocent as she looked. She was dealing with


    Kaiser and exchanging numbers with Jonas, but she kept fluttering around


    and staying away from these men’s touch.


    Chapter 47 Something’s Off


    Half an hourter, the men were already tipsy, but they were not drunk. The


    other. Since the men were already tipsy from all the toasting, they didn’t stop


    them.


    Once they left the room, Isabe heard herself and Mandy sigh in relief. The


    sshed water onto her face. She then turned to Mandy, who was reapplying


    her makeup. “So how long have you been working, Mandy?”


    Mandy finished reapplying her lipstick, and she sighed. With a deadpan look


    on her face, she said, “Three months.”


    Isabe looked at the entrance and whispered, “So Mr. Lime is a…”


    Mandy harrumphed and whispered, “He’s a pervert, alright.”


    Isabe smiled bitterly. “It is what it is. We’re young and pretty, after all. It’s


    going to be a hassle.”


    Mandy was amused by her statement. She licked her lips and huddled closer,


    then she held Isabe’s arm. “It’s not a bad thing our bosses are pervs. It’d be


    bad for newbies if they won’t even fall for honey traps.” She closed the


    distance between them and spoke in a voice that was barely a whisper. “If


    you trust me, I have some advice for you.”


    A pauseter, Isabe asked, “What is it?”


    Mandy looked down and poked Isabe’s arm. “If Jonas gives you any


    Isabe’s reflection.


    Isabe handed her a bottle of mouthwash calmly and took out her lipstick to


    Chapter 47 Something’s Off


    reapply as well.


    Thedies returned to the room. The gents were having fun, and they looked


    at thedies once they came in. Isabe ‘tripped’ and leaned on Mandy. “Mr.


    Stokes, I think Isabe drank too much. She has to go back to the hotel right


    away.”


    Isabe looked dazed, and she was muttering gibberish. She held Mandy,


    smiling dumbly like she was really drunk.


    Jonas had been waiting the whole night. He quickly held Isabe and pulled


    her into his embrace.


    Isabe didn’t resist for once. She kept falling down, and Jonas had to hold


    her up with both hands, yet that wasn’t enough either. “Mr. Lime, about the


    contract…”


    Chapter 47 Something’s Off


    “We’re signing it. Mandy will bring the contract over to your hotel.” Kaiser


    stared at the flushed Isabe and gulped a big ss of wine. “Take her back

    to the hotel. She needs some rest.”


    “Sure.” Jonas happily grabbed Isabe and left.


    Isabe didn’t resist. Instead, she held his tie and pulled it down, and she


    shouted loudly. Jonas was having trouble tugging her along, and he was


    worried someone might see them, so he didn’t touch her inappropriately.


    When he finally got her into a cab, the driver kept ncing at them through


    the rear-view mirror. When they were about to leave, the driver asked, “Do


    you need any help, miss?”


    That was an obvious hint. Jonas was a little embarrassed, so he didn’t touch


    Isabe. Isabe slurred out a thank you, then she staggered out of the car.


    Chapter 47 Something’s Off


    Before Jonas could do anything, she went into the hotel, smiling dumbly.


    Jonas caught up to her in the end and tried to take her to his room.


    Isabe smiled at him and puffed a gust of breath that smelled like alcohol.


    She whispered, “No. I want to take a shower.”


    A shower… Jonas shivered, his face twitching. “Sure, you go get showered.” His


    Just had taken over his mind. If he wasn’t just thinking about sleeping with her,


    he would have taken Isabe back to his room and had her bathe there.


    Isabe knew this would happen, and she got out of the elevator on the


    second floor. “See you tomorrow, Mr. Stokes.”


    Jonas’ eyes flickered with lust. He hummed as he imagined Isabe lying on


    his bed.


    Chapter 47 Something’s Off


    Once the doors shut, Isabeposed herself and breathed at the


    reflective door. She ruffled her hair. “Dumb*ss,” she muttered and went back


    into her room,


    She quickly bolted the door, checked the windows, and locked them as well.


    Everything was done in one fell swoop. Jonas is in cahoots with the hotel. He’


    might be able to get the key card if he wants to.


    Isabe wasn’t going to bathe or sleep. Shey on the couch and checked


    Kaiser’s file, then she processed what Mandy told her. Kaiser Lime, the


    brother-inw of Heroton Culture Limited’s founder. Isabe clicked her


    tongue. So, he’s a nobody. I thought he was a big shot. She guessed that


    Kaiser and Jonas were in cahoots. Jonas could get himself a raise and


    promotion with the deal, while Kaiser would get a bit of money from the


    rebate of the deal. So why did Mandy dissuade me from taking the


    Isabe wondered why. The alcohol was kicking in and her head felt light.


    Someone knocked on the door at that point.
