His entourage did not make any unnecessary comments and followed after him. … Isabel led Carla across the road outside the hotel in one quick sprint. They finally stopped when they arrived at the spot on the beach where people crowded around. She took a deep breath and checked behind them. Carla was out of breath from running by this point. “I’ve been keeping an eye on them. They’re not following us.” "Yeah." Isabel smiled, still not over the high of getting to stomp on Roland’s foot just now. How exhilarating! His foot must be throbbing in pain. Such a shame she could not find the space to give him a good punch as well. She would have gladly punched him until he was completely unrecognizable! "I wasn’t expecting to see him here. What a coincidence," Carla caught her breath at last and commented. Isabel did a double-take. It was certainly a strange coincidence. Perhaps the forces above had decided to make things right for her at last. This was a chan

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The coordinator in charge of the jewelry exhibition approached Isabel. Amanda had just landed in Southboro from Westchester and promptly joined Isabel along with Carla. Isabel spoke with the coordinator for some time and acquainted herself with the procedure of the exhibition and the parts in which she would be involved. After that, she went to get her makeup done and put on the jewelry they provided for her. With everything ready, she attended the exhibition. It was only after she arrived at the exhibition that she realized the sheer scale of the exhibition. It was far larger than she had expected. The venue was enormous and clad in brilliant lights, and all sorts of expensive pieces of jewelry were put on display everywhere. The attendees were not limited to the Southboro locals; the wealthy from all over the world had also come to attend the premium event. She was equally shocked when she found out that she was the only ce

The coordinator said generously, “Give them to me. I’ll pack them up for you. You don’t have to pay for them.” Isabel smiled appreciatively. "Thank you for the offer, but it’s alright. I don’t mind buying them.” There was no clause stating that they would be giving her free jewelry in the contract they had signed. Besides, the pay was already more than generous. The coordinator would not have it. “You’re very kind, Miss Isabel, but please let us do this for you. You’ve done a terrific job for us, and it’s only right we give you some gifts as a nice gesture.” Isabel stood her ground. "You’re just an employee like everyone else here. What if your boss finds out that you’re giving away freebies? It would not be a good look for you.” The coordinator made a look and promptly responded, “Thank you for your concern, but it was our boss who insisted on inviting you here. You might not know this, but our boss is a big fan of yours and loves your work. He will be more than happy t

Isabel remarked casually, “I’m heading to the beach for a quick walk. You don’t have to come with me.” She only wanted some alone time to clear her head. Besides, she did not want to interrupt Carla who was immersed in watching her favorite show. After she threw on her usual disguise of a mask and a hat, she made her way to the beach. Most of the people at the beach at this hour were young people, many of them in pairs. Isabel felt a little self-conscious when she saw all the lovebirds around her. She strolled along the beach for a while until she reached a distant part where there was nobody around. Then, she proceeded to sit on the sand. While she was losing herself in the gentle sea breeze, a black sack was suddenly thrown over her head, catching her completely off guard. She felt her arms seized from behind as well, immobilizing her within seconds. She was frightened by the sudden assault, and her first instinct was to resist. Soon, she felt herself carried in

The next morning, Isabel went to pull the curtains open after she woke up and was immediately blinded by a scorching ray of sunlight. She showered and changed into something casual before heading out of the room. She took Carla with her to someplace nearby for breakfast. Then, she went to Rockwell Corporation Tower with Carla. Carla asked inexplicably, “What are we doing here?” Isabel put on her sunglasses and said stoically, “We’re here to see someone." Carla stopped asking questions. The car parked by the roadside, and Isabel promptly got out of the car. Carla followed behind her. The duo walked into the building through the main entrance. A security guard stopped them. “Credentials?” Isabel took off his sunglasses and smiled cordially. "I'm Isabel Ross. I’m here to see President Rockwell.” The security led her to the reception. Isabel repeated the same thing to the reception. The clerk asked politely, "Which President Rockwell are you looking for?"
