After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 338

Ethan didn’t go after her. He just watched her walk away, his gaze darkening, lips pressed into a tight line. Whatever he was thinking, he kept it to himself.

Time slipped by quickly, and before anyone realized, evening had arrived. The whole group gathered at The Cabinda Hotel.

Isabella’s crew, along with the director and actors, looked surprised when Ethan and Jesse showed up, but it wasn’t totally unexpected. Since joining the studio, everyone already knew Isabella was Mrs. Adams. Jesse’s interest in Laura was no secret either. Anyone could see he liked her.

Barbara came by herself, just as she said she would. She spotted Ethan at the table and felt a quiet relief that Harold wasn’t there. He’d listened to her advice and decided to help Isabella through her instead. Since she was Isabella’s business partner, nobody would question her support, and Harold could stay behind the scenes, keeping Isabella’s reputation safe.

At dinner, Isabella stood up and toasted everyone. She thanked them for believing in her and sticking with her from the very start. With their first drama now released and doing well, she wanted to show her gratitude right away. She told them this dinner was thanks to the four investors and told everyone to eat and drink as much as they wanted. She also promised that once the profits were distributed, the writers would get their promised share.

The writer of the first drama broke into a huge smile, excited for the bonus that was coming.

The whole meal was lively, full of laughter and good food. Isabella had been so happy going around toasting everyone that she ended up getting drunk. Ethan had set his glass aside as soon as she started making the rounds and didn’t touch a drop. He knew she would overdo it, and he was already planning to take her home.

The group finally wrapped up after nine. Isabella was so drunk she could barely walk straight, maybe the drunkest she’d ever been. Ethan picked her up, carried her out of the hotel, and settled her in her car before taking the driver’s seat to bring her home.
