Isabella POV

Is that a hot seat?

Why does everyone's eyes widen and shock? What's wrong? I'm shocked because the big boss just called me to sit with her. Nancy Remington. The one that I thought was only an ordinary person who loves me turns out to be the owner of Remington Industries. The CEO's grandmother.

"Nancy... I.." I clear my throat "I mean Mrs. Remington, I think I should sit at my seat,"

"Come here, dear," she says with a smile, but when I look into her eyes, I know she insists that I sit next to her. The one between her seat and Gabriel's. That's a weird position. Who was sitting there before? Advisor? Nancy's right hand?

I look at Gabriel for help. I don't know why my eyes are searching for him. Maybe because he's the one who shielded me from Alex earlier. He was standing right next to me all the time when Alex was confronting me. It was weird. But I found strength in him, and I felt safe.

He looks confused. His eyes move from his grandmother, the chair, and me. Finally,

  • One Nightstand With My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 27

    Gabriel POV Why is it hard for me to control my body in front of her? I thought I was one of the most controlled people in the world. Guess I was wrong. Like now, I can't help myself come closer. Stand right in front of her. This close, I can smell her apple scent. "G... Gabriel..." she looks nervous and her blush is creeping from her neck again. "Yeah?" I ask huskily. See, even my voice sounds inappropriate now. "I need to talk to you" She takes a step back. Smart move. "Can we sit?" She asks me again. So I nod and gesture on the sofa. She sits on the three-seater sofa. She must assume I will sit on the one-seater sofa. But like I told you. My body moves as it likes. So I sat next to her. Our knees brush and I can hear her little gasp.I study her. Her aquamarine eyes still mesmerise me. Every time I look into them, it's like they pull me inside. And worse, I don't want to leave them. She takes a deep breath, makes her cleavage rise and my traitorous eyes look at it now. "Gabri

    Isabella's POV "I was unaware that Daisy battled depression. My attention was diverted by Remington Industries. She requested that I send Christian to an international boarding school. Then, Christian was six years old. Despite our many arguments, Daisy eventually sent him. Gabriel was by himself. The cousins had a tight bond. Now, though, they remain quite close. They support one another no matter what. But once Christian transferred to the boarding school, Gabriel found himself alone in Oakwood town. His parents were too preoccupied to come to the school function. Too preoccupied to have dinner with him. Thank God we had your mother. She sighs, "She frequently asked Gabriel to eat dinner with Parker... and Daisy." "She is too busy to deal with her depression to realise that her nephew was suffering from all of this.""Nancy, hold on. "You refer to Gabriel and my relatives?" I can't recall doing this."You were 5 my dear." Says Nancy, and she goes on. "We had no idea Gabriel was fee

    Isabella POVBeginning with our breakup, I told Nancy that I believed Gabriel was intoxicated before Gabriel entered my room. However, based on our discussion today, I'm very certain that Alex and Ben are the reason for Gabriel's state that evening. Naturally, I don't tell her that I haven't yet verified if Gabriel is the source of my STD. I don't want to talk to Nancy about it. At all."Oh, my... Alex is a scumbag!" Says Nancy. She seemed to be quite angry with Alex on my behalf. I shrug. "I'm just glad we're not together anymore," I responded. Sincerely, I believed that Alex's breakup would ruin me. In all honesty, I'm really upset and hurt that he cheated on me. Sad because I believed that friendships with ex-partners may flourish, and that is not going to happen with Alex. I'm upset because I'm too naive to see that he has a problem, and Nancy and my friends have already noticed it."And as for you and Gabriel?" Nancy queries. I drown my anxiousness in my lemonade. To tell the t

    Isabella’s POV Gabriel nods. If he's surprised, he doesn't show it. Or he already predicted his uncle behind this scheme. "Thanks for the info, Sweetness. Go enjoy your lunch with my Grandma," he says softly while squeezing my arms. God, he calls me Sweetness in front of his grandma. Is he kidding me? In my peripheral vision, I see Nancy's smile widen. He opens the door for us. After we slide in, he closes the door and waits until the car is moving. He goes back to the building. His gesture is old-fashioned, and yet, the butterflies flutter in my stomach.I glance at Nancy. She was watching my interaction with Gabriel all the time. What should I do now? What should I say?...Nancy touches my hand. "I'm sorry Isabella. It's not my intention to hide the truth from you. At first, I assumed you knew who I was. Almost everyone in Oakwood town knows. But when I realised you were clueless, it was too late. I was too comfortable with you, to tell the truth. I don't want our simple friendsh

    Gabriel POV"Nancy, I know her. However, I assumed she was... well, whatever. "Stupid me," she utters, hunching her shoulders towards me. I can't resist grinning. I know that's not appropriate here, but I can't help myself. This lady has a delicate, kind side as well as a fiery, assertive side. Not to mention how very alluring her fragrance is.Alex says, "Mother," and I am drawn back. "What part?" She gives Alex a chilly glance. "And it's Mrs. Remington in this meeting room, Alex ." Yes, Grandma must have sensed it as well. Alex seems to be experiencing some kind of problem. If she didn't believe anything was wrong, she wouldn't have embarrassed him in front of everyone the way she did. "No, Mrs. Remington Alex glances down at his feet and speaks in a quiet voice. After glancing at her for a moment, Grandma glances at Alex and brushes him off. Concerning you, Mr. Mason. I don't believe I want to work with individuals who are like you.
