Dariel was coerced into drinking, which resulted in everyone else behaving more
appropriately. They yed a few more rounds, none of which were too outrageous.
Simon, the mediator, suggested they switch to a different activity. Finally, the game
ended, and everyone dispersed, slipping away to their preferred venues in pairs or small
groups.
Feeling upset, Isabe bid Mandy and Natasha farewell and quietly left the room. Upon
seeing her departure, Corey immediately followed her. The corridor was quiet, with the
sound of footsteps growing closer behind her. Isabe didn’t look back but instead
walked briskly forward.
“Be,” Corey called out, somewhat helplessly grabbing Isabe’s arm. “Shall I take
to the usual ce?”
Isabe instinctively resisted. “No need, I drove here.”

“You’ve been drinking,” Corey reminded her.
Isabe irritably ran her fingers through her hair. “Then I’ll take a cab.”
“No, I won’t feel at ease.” Corey gently held her arm, leading her outside. “I know you’re
not in a good mood. Let me take you home, or else I won’t feel at ease.”
Isabe felt conflicted. Even Corey noticed her mood was off, and probably everyone
else at the table knew as well. They might even beughing at her inability to take a
joke.
“Alright, you’re so upset, the atmosphere is heavy,” Corey bent down, joking with a
smile.
Isabe forced a smile. “Have you ever felt the atmosphere being heavy before?”
“Of course, I wasn’t born wealthy.”

Corey casually replied, then led Isabe into the underground garage. He was open and
straightforward about topics others might avoid. Isabe envied people like him; she
could never be soposed.
Corey drove her to her pizza shop. The temperature in the car was just right, and
Isabe rxed naturally as she got in.
On the way, Corey didn’t talk much. When they passed a pastry shop, he suddenly
stopped the car and went in to buy something. “Be, eat something to fill your
stomach.”
Isabe took the snack, feeling a mix of emotions. Being taken care of felt good, but it
could affect her judgment of a person.
Except for the first time she saw Corey, his behavior was always impable. At most,
he was a bit childish and teasing, but there was nothing wrong with his overall
approach.

“Leonard and Courtney had a rather messy breakup, so she probably just wanted to
teach him a lesson. She wasn’t intentionally targeting you,” Corey casually mentioned.
Isabe breathed a sigh of relief and responded lightly.
Corey dropped her off near Cletford Mansion. This time, he didn’t even offer to take her
home. He just reminded Isabe before she got out of the car, “Be, button up your
coat.”
Upon hearing this, Isabe quickly checked and found that her coat was buttoned up
tightly from top to bottom. After closing the car door, she leaned over to thank Corey.
Unexpectedly, Corey suddenly got out of the car. Isabe watched him approach in
surprise. “What’s wrong?”
Corey smiled, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged her.

Isabe was shocked and instinctively wanted to struggle, but Corey’s voice sounded in
her ear. “Here’s a hug for you.”
Isabe was bewildered. “What?”
“Don’t be upset anymore,” Corey spoke softly, patting her back as ifforting a child.
Isabe opened her mouth, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
Corey let go of her in time and took a step back.
“Be, goodnight.”
Isabe was still dazed and stiffly said, “Goodnight.”
