"Yes. I have what it takes to get the Carter Corporation on my side," Isabel declared with steel in her voice.
"Heh." Decker chuckled dismissively before interrogating her, "What exactly is it that you have that Carter
Corporation would be willing to help you?"
He sized her up a few times upon raising this question.
Isabel squinted. "Keep staring at me like that and I'll poke your eyes out. Want to try me?"
Her voice was ferocious.
Deckers seemed to be taken aback by her vicious demeanor. He collected himself and formed that same smile
again. "Would you mind telling me who your inside connection in Carter Corporation is?"
"No." Isabel shot him down, "But what I can tell you is that the nature of my relationship with Carter Corporation is
perfectly legitimate. We are equals unlike what's going on between you and Isabella."
A mere actor would prop herself on equal footing with Carter Corporation, one of the most prestigious corporations

Decker scoffed and changed his approach this time. "Sure, so who is your boyfriend in Carter Corporation?"
Isabel made a face before expressing disappointedly,"
Decker, how old are you? Is this the only thing you have on your mind. Is that the only kind of relationship you can
ever comprehend?"
Decker smiled slyly. "So, you're saying that this person in Carter Corporation helping you is just a friend?"
"Yes, we are just friends. Plain and simple," Isabel said bluntly.
"I see. How did you become plain and simple friends with this person?" Decker asked while inching closer toward
her.
Isabel cocked an eyebrow. "I'm not telling you."
Decker peered at her quietly.
Isabel was done fussing about this with her, and she turned to leave.
"So, you don't have a boyfriend right now?" Decker asked stoutly.
She ignored him and continued pressing forward. Her strides were quick and steady, and she held herself with a
prideful attitude, unafraid of the man behind her.
Decker broke into a jog so that he could cut off her path. He stared defiantly into her eyes and asked, "Isabel, have
you not dated anybody else since you left me five years ago?"
"What business of yours is it whether I have a boyfriend or not?" she asked irritably.
Decker displayed a satisfied grin and expressed, "You still can't forget about me, can you?"
Isabel was silent.
On that night five years ago when Decker had slapped her mercilessly across her face, she had felt completely
crushed. There must have been something about the overwhelmed state of mind at the time that somehow
awoken all of her slumbering memories. It was shortly after that when she packed up everything and left Southboro
to return to Westchester.
Her heart continued to ache for a while after that, but more than anything else she was consumed with the desire
to storm back to Southboro and give Decker a beating for what he had done to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStill, she acknowledged that their relationship was over. She sorted out her thoughts and decided to find something
to do for herself to keep herself occupied.
That was when she decided to enter the entertainment industry and plunged herself into a hectic but also fulfilling
lifestyle to the point where she could not find time for dating, much less seeing other people.
After a prolonged silence, she asked, "Decker, have you used the washroom yet?"
Decker was caught off guard by this. "No, what's the matter?"
"Why don't you use the washroom now?" Isabel said while rolling her eyes, "Good time to look at yourself in the
mirror as well."
Decker regarded her silently.
Upon noticing his reluctance to respond, Isabel lapped around him and continued walking back into the venue.
She only managed a few steps when his voice came from behind again, "Isabel, if you come back to me, I promise
that I can give you everything you'll ever need. I just cannot give you a public label as my girlfriend just yet.
However, I swear that our children will be the first successor in line to the Rockwell assets."
Isabel stopped.
What the man said was utterly ridiculous, and she could not laugh even if she tried.
She looked back at him. "Decker, are you hoping that our hypothetical kid turns out like you in the future?"
