She’d worked so hard to get to where she was. No way would she believe Isabella wasn’t anxious. Once they had something on her, they could ask for whatever they wanted, and Isabella would just have to give in.
Instead of heading back to the studio, Isabella went straight to The Adams Group.
When Ethan heard she was coming, he was over the moon. He was right in the middle of a meeting, but he handed everything over to Keith without a second thought and walked out of the conference room with a grin that practically lit up the whole place.
The higher-ups watched him leave, eyes following him all the way until he was out of sight. Only then did they look away, sharing a few quick glances with each other.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams were seriously relationship goals. The way Mr. Adams dropped everything just to see his wife, looking all happy and lovestruck, was straight out of a romance movie.
Ethan waited by the elevator for Isabella to come up. If his secretary hadn’t told him she was already in the elevator, he probably would have gone down himself to meet her at the door.
She was coming to see him on her own. Maybe she was bringing him some snacks? That was usually how it went. Sometimes in the afternoons, Isabella would bring him some fruit or pastries. Even though he wasn’t big on sweets, he never turned her down. Whenever she brought something, he’d always eat a piece or two right in front of her. Back then, when he was trying to win her over, he knew he had to show he cared. Otherwise, how could he have convinced her to say yes in just three months?
The elevator doors slid open.
Isabella looked a little surprised to see Ethan waiting there. As she stepped out, she said, “Weren’t you in a meeting?”
“My secretary said you were here, so I let Keith handle it,” Ethan replied, smiling.
He noticed she was only carrying her purse, nothing else. So, no snacks today. That stung a little, but he didn’t show it. He just walked her to his office like it was the most natural thing in the world.
