Isabelle

I was about texting back to know what he wanted to see me for, but then I got another text from him.

“Can we meet at the Royals café? I’ll be there in an hour.”

I shook my head and let out a sigh, wondering why I would come across a person whom I just didn’t understand how his reasoning worked. Well, this could be a potential investor, so it’s best not to chase everyone because I’m trying to make Lucas feel secure. I’m just going to show Lucas that he is harmless.

    Isabelle I got home so elated that it felt like I’ve never had problems in my life before. This felt like a good, major step and it felt nice to know that I’m known for my good skills. Getting to my bedroom, I changed into something more casual and began to clean up around the house. “Amma shine bright like a diamond!” I sang happily, dancing around without taking my hands off the vacuum. After I was done with my chores, I went straight to the bedroom, brought out my laptop and a Nacho, then began to do some research on how I could be comfortable in Europe. Knowing the right information about wherever you’re traveling to, has always been the best thing to do.My eyes fed on every piece of information displayed on the screen and I moved from one website to another, reading about the weather, the culture, the food, and the places I could visit; I wanted to know what to expect before I got there.I searched for the kind of clothes I would need, the common greetings, the transportatio

    IsabelleI was about texting back to know what he wanted to see me for, but then I got another text from him.“Can we meet at the Royals café? I’ll be there in an hour.”I shook my head and let out a sigh, wondering why I would come across a person whom I just didn’t understand how his reasoning worked. Well, this could be a potential investor, so it’s best not to chase everyone because I’m trying to make Lucas feel secure. I’m just going to show Lucas that he is harmless.I stared at the message again for a really short time before deciding to meet him. If this was really about business, there was no reason for me to avoid him. So, I quickly got ready and took a shower. Afterwards, I opened my wardrobe and picked out a simple but elegant outfit as I didn't want to look overdressed since I was only going to a café.I fixed my hair, applied a little makeup, and grabbed my handbag. When I checked the time, an hour had already passed.“Well, by now, he probably has just gotten there.” I

    IsabelleThis wasn’t a big deal at all, but the way Lucas looked at me like he was on the verge of breaking into pieces was what made me lost for words at first.“He is a friend.” I responded casually so he wouldn’t have to “Okay, that’s fine. But why is a male friend calling you by this time?”“I don’t know, babe. He is Mrs. Thompson’s son and we met today. There could be future collaborations between us; it depends. I really don’t know why he is calling.” I said, and the phone stopped ringing.I took my phone from Lucas’ hand and smiled at him.“There is nothing to worry about, love.” I said, and gave him a kiss on my cheek.Then my phone began to ring again. Gosh!“Maybe we should find out what he is calling you for.” Lucas said, his eyes fixed on the phone.I’ve never seen him like this; poking into my business, but this was understandable. After all, he is my fiancé and he might feel a little insecure over some things.I looked at the phone for a few seconds before finally picki

    Isabelle A few minutes later, I heard footsteps coming from the hallway which caused me to look up and I saw Mrs. Thompson walking back towards the dining area, but this time, someone was walking behind her. I couldn't see the person clearly at first because Mrs. Thompson was blocking my view. However, when she moved to the side and sat back down at the table, my eyes immediately went to the young man standing behind her; he was strikingly handsome. He looked young, probably around my age or a little older. His face was well-defined, with sharp features and a strong jawline. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his eyes had a calm, confident look that made it difficult not to notice him. He was dressed in a simple white outfit that looked incredibly good on him. His white shirt was neatly tucked into his trousers, and the whole outfit made him look clean, classy, and effortlessly attractive. Worse was that he noticed me staring and smiled. “Hello.” He said to me in a charming ma

    Isabelle“Sorry babe. It was a business call. But it’s all sorted now.” He assured me with a smile on his face.I smiled at him and nodded.“It’s fine. I know how work can be, sometimes.” I uttered, patting him on his back.“Thanks love. You’re always the best.”Lucas smiled and pulled me closer as he said that, then he cupped my cheeks while looking into my eyes.“You’ll always be my one and only.” He said with a smile, then he adjusted himself properly, releasing his hands from my cheek. “So, what are we watching tonight?”I thought for a moment before snapping my fingers. “Something romantic.”He laughed. “Of course.”We settled on the couch and in a little time, we found the right movie to watch. I rested my head on his shoulder while his arm stayed wrapped around me as that was definitely one perfect way to enjoy a movie with a lover.The movie was interesting, but I found myself paying more attention to Lucas than the screen. Every now and then, I looked at him and smiled.“What

    Isabelle I was reading Lucas’ note when I just recalled that I was supposed to contact Mrs. Thompson. The thought of being in her office or being commended by her made me very excited and impatient. I rose to my feet, walked to the wardrobe and grabbed my purse where I kept it. I took out the card, took in a deep breath and let it out as I went back to the bed. Sitting down, I moved my hair to the left side of my neck and punched in her number on my phone before I clicked the dial button. The dialing tone rang about five times before the call connected. “Mrs. Thompson speaking.” She said in a calm, neutral voice. “Good morning, Mrs. Thompson. This is Isabelle Barrett.” “Oh! Isabelle.” She said in an inviting tone. “It’s so nice to hear from you. Now that you’ve reached out to me, will you be available for a meeting at my office today?” I was about to say a big yes immediately, but restrained myself immediately. “I checked my schedule today, and I have quite free time this mor

    ISABELLEMy hands were shaking.The laughter from the small crowd bleeding into my ears as the guy beside me watched his phone openly. He didn't even try to hide it."Four hundred likes already," the girl behind him said, her voice dripping with amusement. "She literally just stood there staring at

    Isabelle “Bully?” My father’s words replayed in my head, over and over. *You just don't want me to be happy. You don't want your father to be happy.* He had barked, shocking me to the core.I had never seen my father like that. He was always trying to hear me out, but three days ago at the surpris

    IsabelleI stood in front of the mirror and all I could do was smile. This was new. My father instructing me to get dressed, with even a new dress he had bought?“If you don't like it,” I heard his loud voice from my room. “You don't have to wear it, okay.”I beamed, tugging nervously at the hem

    Isabelle “I’m not a child, mom!” I snapped, my voice higher than intended. “Your overprotectiveness is suffocating me. For crying out loud I’m 18 already, I’ll be starting college next year. Can’t you trust me for once?”She turned to me, her eyes blazing with anger. “Trust you? After what happe
