1694 Words
Walking out of the restaurant, Isidore Richmond glanced back at the two people huddled together and whispered, "Hayley, let's prepare the formalities for registering the company tonight! Tomorrow, we'll register the company and announce the complete acquisition of Shining Star Company by Meteorite Company!" "Yes, Mr. Richmond!" Hayley Waters immediately snapped into work mode. "As for the Martinez's family..." Isidore Richmond walked towards the parking lot, his voice turning cold, "Including Brown's family, I will make them suffer!" "Understood!" Hayley Waters gently opened the car door for Isidore Richmond. After he got in, she followed suit. She hugged Isidore Richmond's head with both hands, gently rubbing his temples. "Hayley, thank you!" Isidore Richmond grabbed Hayley Waters's hand. His heart was filled with gratitude. How could he, an unworthy person, make such a flawless woman fall for him? And he had even taken away her innocence... He silently vowed that he would treat Hayley Waters well in this lifetime! "These are things I should do." Hayley Waters smiled and pursed her lips, "As long as I can accompany you, I'm satisfied." "You silly girl..." Isidore Richmond pinched Hayley Waters's nose and then asked, "What about my sister? Is she alright now?" "Her condition isn't good." The happiness on Hayley Waters's face disappeared, and she whispered, "The private detective told me that she got into university, but her adoptive parents refused to support her and forced her to go home for blind date meetings! She escaped from the village for a while, but was caught and brought back..." "What!?" Isidore Richmond instantly sat up, gritting his teeth in anger, "This is unacceptable!" "She's fine for now, but her adoptive parents want to force her into marriage to get a hefty dowry. It's getting late, so you should rest tonight. Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to find her." "Alright." Isidore Richmond nodded slightly. Knowing his sister is safe is enough! As long as she's okay, he isn't in a hurry tonight. Having figured this out, Isidore Richmond relaxed again and leaned against Hayley Waters's embrace. In the darkness, he saw Hayley Waters's stunning profile. Combined with the fact that he was lying in her embrace, feeling her body temperature, and the contours of her perfect figure, Isidore Richmond couldn't help but gulp. "Hayley..." He slightly lifted his head. Hayley Waters's cheeks turned red, and she closed her eyes. This gave Isidore Richmond a significant hint. Both of them had already crossed that line, so what couldn't they do? He turned around and trembled as he leaned towards Hayley Waters's lips. But just then, a ringtone suddenly sounded, startling them both. Annoyed, Hayley Waters took out her phone. How could someone call her at this moment! She opened it and saw that it was her friend Bethany McKenzie. "Hello, Bethany ?" She answered the phone softly. Bethany McKenzie had been a great help today, coming all the way from the other province, and Hayley Waters had forgotten to invite her to dinner! She felt a little embarrassed, "Have you eaten? Today has been so busy, I..." "I know you're busy." Bethany McKenzie said with a cheerful smile, "Are you with him now? Have you forgotten about your best friend?" "Uh, we're together." Hayley Waters cast a tender glance at Isidore Richmond, her face filled with sweetness, "Why don't we go out for dinner now? My treat..." "I'm eating right now with a few of our classmates." Bethany McKenzie lowered her voice, "Kian Jones asked me to call you out..." "Hey, Hayley, it's Kian Jones." Before Bethany McKenzie could finish her sentence, someone snatched the phone from her. The person seemed to have drunk quite a lot, "Let me see, what kind of man can match our class flower..." "Kian Jones!" Hayley Waters's face turned pale. "What's wrong?" Feeling the tension in the woman in his arms, Isidore Richmond lightly patted her back, "Who is this Kian Jones?" "He's... my ex-boyfriend." Hayley Waters bit her lip and hesitated, "I'm sorry, I..." "What is there to be sorry about?" Isidore Richmond waved his hand, "You don't even mind that I'm a divorced man. You're so outstanding, having had a boyfriend before is normal... So, does he want to see you?" "He's our classmate, and he wants to have a meal together." Hayley Waters whispered. "Then let's go. I also want to see what the man Hayley had found before looks like." Isidore Richmond looked relaxed, "Besides, I haven't eaten, and having someone treat us isn't a bad thing, right?" "Well..." Hayley Waters hesitated for a moment, and then a voice came from the phone again, "Come over, I heard your boyfriend agree!" "Hayley, don't listen to his nonsense!" Bethany McKenzie quickly snatched back the phone and said in a low voice, "Kian Jones has had quite a bit to drink. If you don't want to come, just forget it." "It's fine, where are you guys?" Seeing Isidore Richmond acting unconcerned, Hayley Waters relaxed and asked. After Bethany McKenzie gave the address, Hayley Waters nodded slightly and hung up. Then, she drove toward the direction of the restaurant. Before long, the car arrived at a Chinese restaurant called "Old Flame." After parking the car, Hayley Waters took a deep breath and hooked her arm with Isidore Richmond's as they entered the restaurant. All the way there, she reassured herself. It's fine. Sooner or later, she would have to bring Isidore Richmond to meet her classmates! There's nothing to be nervous about. Moreover, although Kian Jones was her first boyfriend, that was in the past. They hadn't done anything. When she realized that Kian Jones wasn't suitable for her, Hayley Waters straightforwardly broke up with him. Afterward, she got accepted into a master's program at Harvard and went abroad. These are all old stories. What is there to worry about? Entering the restaurant, Hayley Waters led Isidore Richmond to private room number one. Pushing open the door, they were surprised to see seven or eight classmates inside, the atmosphere was lively, and several people were chatting happily. As the two entered the private room, the gazes of these people immediately gathered on them. "Hayley, is this your boyfriend?" A handsome young man in the middle with raised eyebrows looked at Isidore Richmond. "Yes." Hayley Waters nodded generously. "Have we met somewhere?" The other person stared at Isidore Richmond, "I'm Hayley's ex-boyfriend, Kian Jones, currently the vice general manager of Rosewood Company. How have you been, bro?" "My name is Isidore Richmond, just an unemployed wanderer." Isidore Richmond could sense the other person's aggressiveness and felt a bit unhappy, so he replied indifferently. Hayley Waters's face turned red, and she said, "Kian Jones, do you have to emphasize that you are my ex-boyfriend? We broke up a long time ago!" "Yes, but that's still a fact." Kian Jones chuckled and poured himself a glass of wine. The rest of the people all showed expressions of watching a good show. Everyone was a classmate from Mordor City University. After graduation, many people stayed in Mordor City. Among them, Kian Jones was the most successful. Rosewood Company, that was a well-known company in Mordor City! Hayley Waters went abroad to study, and even if she returned to Mordor City, she rarely kept in touch with her classmates. No one knew that Hayley Waters was in Mordor City, and she was even the general manager of Shining Star Company! "I heard from Bethany that you've been back in Mordor City for a long time, but you haven't contacted us. What's the matter? Do you look down on us, your classmates?" Kian Jones burped, "Found a new boyfriend and didn't even tell us, what are you hiding? Oh, I forgot, he just said he's an unemployed wanderer... burp, do you want me to introduce a job? Come work as a security guard or something in our company, I, as the vice general manager, can make it happen with just a word." "Yes, Hayley, if things don't go well, let Mr. Jones help with a job. There's no shame in it." Another guy next to Kian Jones spoke up. However, there was no genuine concern on his face, only mockery. Hayley Waters was as beautiful as ever, and they couldn't tell the brand of the clothes she was wearing. But Isidore Richmond's clothes were obviously worn out, and he was in his twenties but still dressed in knockoff sportswear. It was truly laughable! When Kian Jones saw Hayley Waters, his eyes lit up. For so many years, he had always been thinking about Hayley Waters! She was even more beautiful now, with a hint of maturity, making people even more envious. Before Hayley Waters arrived, he had made up his mind. He must make her regret it! Let her see how well the man who insisted on breaking up with her was doing now! What he didn't expect was that Hayley Waters's current boyfriend was actually so down and out, which made him even happier. "We don’t need to trouble you with that." Hayley Waters frowned, a polite smile still on her face. In her heart, she already hated Kian Jones to the core. "What's the big deal? It's not embarrassing to be jobless! It's just like the saying, fortunes fluctuate, who knows, maybe one day you'll be a security guard in our company and become famous. I might even have to flatter you!" Kian Jones laughed heartily. He took out his phone and said, "I'll call the head of the HR department right now and arrange a job for you tomorrow! By the way, what was your name... Isidore Richmond, right... high, so you're Isidore Richmond!?" Kian Jones's body suddenly froze, he looked up at Isidore Richmond for a while. The others also looked surprised, not knowing what was wrong with Kian Jones. "You're Isidore Richmond? That useless son-in-law of Brown's family?" Kian Jones rubbed his eyes and looked at Isidore Richmond for a long time before turning to Hayley Waters, shocked and angry, "Hayley, how did you end up with this married man? Don't you know that he's a loser? A parasite who freeloads off Brown's family!"
