“Sir, do you want me to drive her away?” Carlos asked.
Nathaniel closed the elevator door and said coldly, “Ask Isaac to come to my office.”
Seeing Nathaniel’s coldness, Carlos shrank his neck in fright. “Yes.”
He thought, “What’s going on? Why is Mr. Beaumont angry?”
As soon as Nathaniel walked into the office, Isaac followed in.
“Mr. Beaumont.”
“Is someone from the Woya Company looking for you here?” Nathaniel asked.
“Yes.” Feeling Nathaniel’s anger, Isaac was nervous.
“She is downstairs. Drive her away. You know what I mean. I don’t want anyone to pull strings.” Nathaniel was very calm, but Isaac was frightened.
Isaac nodded quickly. “Yes. I didn’t know she would come here. I will ask her to leave right away.”
Nathaniel said to Isaac, “Don’t reveal my identity.”

“Yes.” Isaac walked out of the office.

In the hall, Stella quickly put on some foundation and lipstick.
As soon as she put away the cosmetics, she saw Isaac walk out of the elevator.
Isaac looked younger than the photos on the Internet. He was in his early thirties, looking handsome and capable at first glance.
Stella stepped forward politely. “Mr. Griffin.”
Isaac frowned, “Who are you?”
He thought it was Sandra who was here.
Stella handed over her business card. “I am also from the Woya Company. My name is Stella Edwards. Sandra is my colleague, and we are both here for the cooperation.”
“Do you come here for the cooperation?” Isaac raised his eyebrows and looked at Stella.
“Yes, I hope you can give me a chance,” Stella said sincerely.
Looking at Stella’s beautiful face, Isaac touched his chin.
“Okay, I’ll give you a chance. I’ll get off work soon. Let’s go to a nearby restaurant to have dinner.”
Stella thought, “A nearby restaurant?
chapter14.
It must be expensive.”

She hesitated, but for the sake of the cooperation, she could only agree, “Okay. Mr. Griffin, please.”
“Let’s go.” Isaac walked outside with a meaningful smile.
In the restaurant, as soon as Stella and Isaac sat down, the
waiter came over.
While Isaac was reading the menu, Stella took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Nathaniel.
[Mr. Beaumont, I have some work to do today, so I won’t go back to have dinner.]
Stella thought since she and Nathaniel were a couple and lived together, it was better to inform him in advance.
Nathaniel didn’t reply, which was consistent with his cold character.
Seeing Stella sending messages to someone, Isaac smiled, “Ms. Edwards, are you busy?”

Stella put down her phone and said, “I’m not going back for dinner, so I sent a message to tell my husband.”
Isaac was stunned. “Are you married?”
Stella nodded. “Yes, my husband… is very busy.”

Thinking about it, Stella thought it was better not to tell Isaac about her relationship with Nathaniel, lest Isaac think that Nathaniel asked her to come to him, which would be had for Nathaniel.
Isaac said, “I thought you would hide it like others.”
“Others?”
“It’s okay. Take the order.” Isaac closed the menu.
“Okay.” Stella took over the menu.
Seeing the price of the food here, she was stunned.
It was so expensive.
A glass of juice cost 168 dollars, not to mention the dishes.
Stella only ordered a glass of juice. “I’m not hungry now.”
Isaac handed the menu to the waiter without speaking.
While waiting for the food, Stella said, “Mr. Griffin, I want to know your company’s exact requirements.”
“Ms. Edwards, the food is not served. Let’s talk about work later.”
While speaking, Isaac touched Stella’s hand when he reached for the glass.

Startled, Stella quickly withdrew her hand. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Isane, she thought that she was overthinking it.
However, Isane touched her hand every time he moved his hand, which made Stella immediately alert.
When Isane reached for the glass again, Stella deliberately raised her hand to touch her hair, and she saw Isaac’s hand paused.
Stella frowned but still pretended not to notice anything.
This was not the first time she had eaten with clients, and she had encountered more impolite behaviors before.
As long as Isaac didn’t go too far, she could handle it.
After all, there were many people in the restaurant, so Stella didn’t think Isaac dared to do anything excessively rude.
With a smile, Stella skillfully avoided Isaac’s touch.
Fortunately, after the food was served, Isaac didn’t touch her hand again.
Stella said, “Mr. Griffin, I…”
Isaac ate the food and interrupted her, “It tastes good. Ms. Edwards, try it.”
“Okay, thank you.” Stella ate the food helplessly and continued, “Mr. Griffin…”
chapter14.
“I like the food here.” Isaac continued to eat, ignoring Stella.

Stella immediately understood what Isaac meant. He didn’t want to talk about work with her at all, and he ate with her to deliberately make things difficult for her.
Her face stiffened slightly, but she quickly calmed down.
Taking a sip of juice, Stella said, “Mr. Griffin, if the food is not enough, I’ll order more for you.”
Isaac glanced at Stella and hesitated.
Stella stopped talking. Instead, she smiled at Isaac and talked about the process of each dish as if her purpose was to have a meal with him here.
Nathaniel, who sat at the table in the corner, saw Stella’s smiling
face.
When Nathaniel received Stella’s message, he ignored it.
However, when he went downstairs to leave, he was curious about how Stella would deal with Isaac. After all, Isaac was famous for being difficult to deal with.
Therefore, Nathaniel came here.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Stella smiling at Isaac, which was in line with her image as a money–worshiping woman.

Nathaniel was inexplicably angry, thinking, “Does Stella forget that she is married?
To get the connection and resources, she even tries to please
other men.
She is so cheap.”
Nathaniel grabbed the cup tightly as he watched Stella and
Isaac.
Carlos, who was beside him, looked over and whispered, “This woman is so flattering to a man she doesn’t know. Isaac is lucky today.”
With a bang, Nathaniel’s cup fell, which frightened Carlos.
“Mr. Beaumont, is there anything wrong with the coffee?”
“It tastes bad. Let’s go.” Nathaniel stood up and left.
Carlos was confused. Did he say anything wrong?
Wasn’t Isaac lucky to have dinner with a beauty?
Seeing Isaac finish eating, Stella thought he could not find any other reason to interrupt her now.
She smiled, “Mr. Griffin, can we discuss cooperation requirements now?”

Isaac stared at Stella’s face. Without exquisite makeup, her face was beautiful and delicate, but said directly and firmly.
She was completely different from Sandra, and she was much calmer.
Narrowing his eyes, Isaac said, “I want to drink coffee. Let’s chat slowly.”
Stella kept smiling and nodded helplessly.
She politely stood up and poured the coffee for Isaac. Unexpectedly, Isaac reached out and held her hand.
Stella wanted to withdraw her hand, but Isaac held it tighter and even smiled at her.
“Ms. Edwards, your hands are cold. Is the air conditioner here too cold? Let’s sit closer, so we can hear clearly when we talk about work.” Isaac leaned to Stella.
Stella understood what Isaac meant. He was hinting to her that she would have to pay something if she wanted to talk about work with him.
“Mr. Griffin, you misunderstood me. Please let go.” Stella gritted her teeth to resist the urge to hit Isaac.
Isaac was important in this cooperation. She couldn’t afford to offend him but wouldn’t sacrifice herself for work.
However, Isaac didn’t let go. Instead, he even rubbed the back of

Stella’s hand with his hand.
“Stop acting. Isn’t this your purpose to come to me alone? You
and Sandra are the same, but I like you more.”
“Let me go!” Stella warned angrily.
“You have a bad temper, but I like it.” Isaac leaned close to Stella.
Surprised, Stella quickly took the cup with her other hand and hit the back of Isaac’s hand.
“Ah!” Isaac let out a low cry and shook his hand in pain, which attracted the attention of the surrounding people. He didn’t dare to lose his temper, so he could only look at Stella while gritting his teeth.
Stella said, “Mr. Griffin, please behave yourself. I hope to get your company’s cooperation, but it doesn’t mean that I can sell myself. If you dare to harass me again, I will call the police. No companies will tolerate sexual harassment.”
Isaac was stunned and said angrily, “How dare you threaten.
me!”
“If you force me, I can do anything.” Stella met his gaze calmly.
Isaac widened his eyes and chuckled, “I see. You are afraid of being discovered by your husband, right? Don’t worry. Only you and I know about this matter, and your husband won’t know about it. If you agree, we can talk about cooperation. Otherwise,

you can leave.”

Clenching her fists, Stella stood up immediately. “Mr. Griffin, I’m sorry. I won’t betray my husband. I’m leaving first.”
While speaking, she deliberately pressed the cup in her hand hard on the back of Isaac’s hand and then walked outside without looking back.
Isaac cried in pain and cursed.
Ignoring him, Stella walked out of the restaurant quickly.
She hated using dirty methods the most, and she didn’t believe that she couldn’t win Sandra.
Gritting her
- Stella walked towards the subway station. Unexpectedly, she was hit hard by the person behind her.
She staggered, but fortunately, she stood firm by holding on to the pillar. She turned around and was about to curse but found that the person who had hit her was Isaac.
At this time, Isaac was completely different from just now. He was sweating profusely and frowned in anxiety.
“What? Isn’t the due date next month? Why is she going to give birth all of a sudden?
