419 Such a Coincidence


    After quickly settling the matters in the Inte Cafe, the three drove back to Jane’s small apartment.


    In the car, Jane could not wait to show great interest in the cold fish, Gerry. Shepletely ignored Isabe, who wanted to talk to her about serious matters at the back of the seat. She sat in the front passenger seat, teasing Gerry who had almost no reaction at all.


    After reaching the destination, Jane went upstairs to change clothes. She even wanted to bring Gerry along to protect her and said that there was a perverted man upstairs who always harassed her, which made her very scared.


    However, Gerry refused to go upstairs on the grounds that he needed to protect Isabe, so Gerry and Jane argued by the car.


    Isabe looked at Gerry, who was clearly expressionless, but his face was red. He did not dare to casually touch Jane. When Isabe turned to see Jane’s might aura, she was very sure that there was no perverted man in this world who could tease Jane. There would only be pitiful men who were teased by Jane.


    After all, Jane was Isabe’s best friend.


    Therefore, Isabe silently looked at the two of them for a while and decided to go against her conscience. She ordered Gerry to follow Jane to prevent her from being taken away by the pervert halfway, which might affect her n tonight...


    Looking at how Gerry was being taken away by Jane with a conflicted expression, Isabe could guess what would happen. However, she still seriously asked the two of them to hurry up. Then, Isabe saw that Jane ced her hand on Gerry’s butt, and the poor Gerry kept a distance from her as if he had been scalded by boiling water. She could no longer hold it in anymore andughed so hard in the car...


    The two figures finally went out of her sight. Isabe calmed down and began to hesitate about how to send Joseph a text to exin the matter of returningte tonight.


    .....


    [Honey, I have something to do tonight. I will go backter...]


    Isabe immediately shook her head and deleted it. “No, no! I will definitely be asked what I am going to do. It will be hard to exin.”


    [Honey, I can’te back to have dinner with you tonight. I want to have a meal with my ssmate.]


    Isabe shook her head again. “No, what if he is in a hurry toe over for dinner with us? What excuse can I use to stop him froming over? If he finds out that I am going to meet Cedric, he will be angry and misunderstand us again.”


    Isabe thought for a while more.


    [Honey, give you a kiss! I’m going out for dinner with my best friend Jane tonight. You have to work hard and make money! What? Do you want to be with me? Everyoneing to this dinner is a girl! Don’t worry. Gerry is with me!]


    Isabe felt that the excuse this time was more satisfying. She read it twice and was about to send it out when her phone rang first.


    Isabe took a look and saw that it was from Joseph.


    Isabe was so scared that she almost dropped her phone. She hurriedly took a deep breath and answered the call. She said sweetly, “Hello?”


    “Isabe, how is the appraisal of the design institute?”


    Joseph’s gentle andfortable deep voice came through the phone. Isabe felt her body go limp. She really wanted to throw herself into Joseph’s arms right now.


    “Well, it’s almost done, but my senior said that no matter what, we still need to go through a procedure. It’s only a few days. Anyway, there’s no rush for this matter before our wedding, so I asked him to do it for us,” Isabe casually lied.


    She paused for a moment and clenched her fists. “Joseph, tonight...”


    “Isabe, I have to discuss a very important contract with someone tonight, so I’m afraid that the promise I made to eat with you tonight will be ruined.”


    Joseph paused and seemed to be so apologetic, “You can either eat outside or go back to the manor and get the chef to cook for you... In short, have a good time. I may returnte tonight and can’t stay by your side. Don’t make yourself suffer.”


    Isabe did not know how to describe her current mood.


    What a coincidence!


    She was at a loss about whether to lie to Joseph or not and didn’t expect Joseph to take the initiative to let her have dinner alone. How lucky!


    Thus, Isabe immediately said, “Darling, don’t worry. I promise I will eat more than you.”


    Josephughed. “Alright, I’ll continue working. I love you, Isabe.”


    Isabe’s sweet heart immediately melted. “I love you too. Let me give you a kiss.”


    The two hung up the phone happily. Isabe felt that the sweetness in her chest was about to overflow. Although it was a little inappropriate for her to meet Cedric tonight, she felt much more confident when she thought of Jane and Gerry with her.


    After all, she still believed that no matter how angry Cedric was with her, he would not spend so much effort asking her out just to beat her tonight.


    Just as she was thinking about it, Isabe saw Jane walking out of the apartment in her 10-centimeter-high heels, followed by Gerry with a gloomy face.


    “Jane, do you think I should change my clothes to form a sharp contrast with you? For example, should I wear exercise clothes? In this way, it can show that I don’t want to meet Cedric tonight.”


    Jane immediately supported her chest and nodded. “Sure. Besides, don’t use a chest cushion. This way, it will reflect my charm.”


    “Gerry...”


    Isabe raised her eyes to look at Gerry, who followed behind Jane. Suddenly, she opened her mouth wide in horror, her face filled with disbelief.


    Gerry did not think too much and immediately stepped forward. He lowered his head and said solemnly, “Ms. Isabe, may I know what I can do for you?”


    Isabe did not know whether tough or cry. “Gerry ... you should wipe the lipstick mark on your face first...”


    Jane smirked.


    Gerry was also shocked.


    At 6 o’clock in the evening, Isabe, Jane, and Gerry arrived at a famous open-air restaurant near the Stretton Group on time.


    It was also the ce where Cedric invited Isabe to dinner alone.


    Jane and Gerry were stopped from entering by Peter and Joey downstairs. “Sorry, Mr. Cedric booked the entire restaurant tonight to invite Ms. Isabe alone. You two should stop here and go to other ces.”


    Isabe looked at the two sides of the passage leading to the roof where there were ck-clothed men with serious expressions. Suddenly, she felt her legs go weak.


    If Cedric really wanted to make things difficult for her tonight, would she have any chance of escaping?


    Just like Gerry had said, if Cedric was emotionally unstable and took her away, then she would never be able to see her cute and charming Joseph.


    However, if Isabe didn’t go to this appointment, then wouldn’t the hard-won evidence bepletely ruined?


    Isabe hesitated again. Although she was constantly trying to convince herself in her heart, the current Cedric always made her feel very strange and unsafe...
