247 The World is Small


    “Yes.”


    “I was also surprised, so I specifically exhort Joseph to be careful,” Isabe said honestly as she ate.


    “You are so sweet.”


    Angelina smiled mischievously and gently pinched Isabe’s face, “You didn’t sleep well because you were worried about Joseph?”


    Isabe blushed, “I’m very worried about him. It’s legal to hold guns in America, so I’m afraid what may happen if Joseph is reckless.”


    “Don’t worry, he will act with propriety.”


    Angelina teased Isabe, then she went upstairs to change her clothes. After eating breakfast, Isabe said goodbye to Charlie and left the Wilson Manor.


    When Angelina saw that Isabe had left, she looked at Charlie seriously, “Grandfather, the woman who Isabe was talking about could it be Ste?”


    Charlie sat on the sofa with a cane in his hand. He was a little angry, “Whether she is or not, I will not allow Joseph to have any dealings with Ste!”


    .....


    Angelina thought about it for a moment, “I will ask people to extract some information and send away the old servants. As long as Joseph doesn’t be reckless, I will not let Isabe know about the rtionship between Joseph and Ste!”


    Charlie nodded and sighed, “Isabe is very innocent. I hope that Joseph will cherish her and don’t do anything stupid.”


    “I will watch him.”


    ...


    At the weekend, Isabe contacted a senior from the design department with who she used to get along well. She arrived at the design department after about two trips.


    She was informed to enter the department after the appointment. Isabe was amazed at the wonderful design here and pushed the door of the director’s office.


    “Isabe!”


    “Octavio!”


    Octavio was a doctorate student in the design department of Richmond Arts University and was much older than Isabe.


    As a doctorate student, Octavio had already begun to tutor students or do research and rarely participated in the activities for undergraduates. Octavio was fond of modern drama and once participated in the drama club. He was forthright and cheerful, and often treated club members to dinner, so he got familiar with Isabe quickly.


    “Why did you suddenly visit me? Do you worship me and miss me so much?”


    Octavio looked gentle, but he had a glib tongue. Isabe was used to his way of speaking and smiled, “If I admit that I carry a torch for you, will your wife be angry and scold you?”


    “Your words make me feel sad. I’m not married yet.” Octavio said.


    “Really?”


    “If you give me a wedding gift in advance, I will immediately get married.”


    Isabe and Octavioughed.


    Isabe sat on the sofa and said seriously, “I’m here today for something to talk to you.”


    Just then a young man walked out of the toilet. He wiped his clothes, “Octavio, the coffee stains can’t be cleaned...”


    The man made eye contact with Isabe when he raised his head.


    Isabe was stunned. She immediately stood up and said awkwardly, “Octavio, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you had a guest. I’ll wait for you downstairs!”


    “Wait!”


    “Wait! Isabe!”


    Octavio and the man said at the same time. Octavio looked at him and thought about why he said this. While the man smiled at Isabe, “Miss, do you still remember me?”


    Isabe was stunned when a stranger talked to her.


    The man with a gentle temperament was handsome and tall. He wore a light brown zer, which made him look very elegant.


    Isabe stared at him and thought for a while. She frowned, “You do look familiar, but...”


    “It’s normal for you to forget me.”


    The man couldn’t help smiling, “You’ve been hit by me twice. At that time, you were dizzy, so you couldn’t remember me.”


    Isabe was stunned and suddenly remembered, “You are the one I borrowed your car to change clothes that night!”


    The man smiled.


    He stretched out his hand, “My name is Cedric, Cedric Stretton.”


    “Cedric...”


    Isabe felt that his name was particrly familiar, but she could not remember where she had heard it before. She gave him a polite handshake, “My name is Isabe, Isabe.”


    “Isabe...” Cedric stared at Isabe with a little surprise, “Are you Isabe?”


    Isabe nodded, “What’s wrong?”


    “You knew each other before!”


    Octavio said happily, “Cedric managed to return to China, and Isabe hasn’te to visit me for a long time. But you two met before. The world is really small.”


    Cedric looked at Isabe thoughtfully and chuckled, “I think it should be fate.”


    When Isabe saw Cedric looking at her, she remembered what she had done that night. It made her feel ashamed.


    ‘I thought it would never be known, but I didn’t expect that I will meet Cedric, and now he knows me. The worst thing is that he is Octavio’s friend. If he tells Octavio what happened between me and him, Octavio will tell others.’


    ‘What should I do?’


    Isabe blushed and was going to admit that she did this.


    She thought for a moment and said gently, “It was an ident. I hope Mr. Cedric can forgive me.”


    Cedric saw through Isabe’s thought, and looked at her, “It indeed surprised me...”


    Isabe immediately interrupted Cedric, stopping him from speaking out, “Since Mr. Cedric and Octavio have something to discuss, so I will leave for now.”


    She nodded politely at them and intended to leave.


    “Don’t go.”


    Octavio grabbed Isabe and said sincerely, “There’s nothing important. He just identally spilled coffee on his clothes and went to clean them. Otherwise, he would have left. Let’s continue to talk about what you just said.”


    Isabe was speechless.


    She felt that sometimes Octavio was so enthusiastic that it would bother her. She did not want Cedric to hear what she was going to say, so she hesitated.


    “We will be more and more familiar with each other.”


    Cedric poured a ss of water to Isabe. He had alreadypletely understood Isabe’s thoughts. He said, “Since we meet again and are all Octavio’s friends, we two are friends, right?
