“Lunderstand.” Bruce nodded and dug back into his meal.

Isabelle felt a little relieved at least there was something she could still do.

She leaned back slightly in her chair, and as her gaze lifted, it met Gary’s eyes from across the restaurant.

When Isabelle and Bruce were leaving, Gary and the woman with him happened to be heading out at the same time.

“Gary, look-isn’t that the popular designer? The one all over social media?” The woman tugged at Gary’s sleeve.

Gary’s hand paused on the slightly stubborn car door handle, his eyes fixed on Isabelle.

They were walking toward the parking lot, with Bruce following a step behind.

Their car was parked right next to Gary’s.

Gary hadn’t realized the woman beside him followed those kinds of accounts.

“Is she?” he replied lightly. “Let’s just get in the car.”

“I want to say hi,” the woman said.

Gary frowned.

Before he could stop her, she had already walked over to Isabelle.

“Hi! Excuse me… Are you Isabelle?” The woman beamed brightly.

Bruce stepped slightly in front, glanced briefly at Isabelle behind him, then at Gary standing nearby.

*10 Free Coins

Bruce recognized Gary. A while back, Damian had shown him a file and told him the guy was bad news–if he ever felt like throwing a punch, he could, but to keep it legal.

Isabelle looked at the woman in front of her. “I’m sorry, you must have me confused with someone else.”

Gary noticed Isabelle didn’t even glance his way-no more acknowledgment than she’d give a stranger.

The woman froze.

That couldn’t be right. The buzz had been everywhere lately, and the design world wasn’t that big-everyone was talking about

her.

She probably just didn’t want attention.

“Harper,” Gary called out, pulling her gently back by the arm.

“Gary, she–”

Gary didn’t explain, but his expression had turned tense.

Isabelle walked past Bruce and got into the passenger seat.

So Damian and Isabelle weren’t even together right now–he’d even assigned her security.

Gary lowered his head, avoiding their direction entirely.”

There was something in Bruce’s eyes that reminded him too much of Damian’s.

He was still rattled, not daring to entertain any foolish ideas. Isabelle was in a different world now, far beyond his reach.

Harper shifted closer to Gary, clearly startled by Bruce’s tone.

She’d thought that warning was meant for her.

“Celebrities really are different,” Harper remarked, watching the luxury sedan glide past them.

“Let’s go,” was all Gary said.

Gary knew exactly why Isabelle was so cold-she hadn’t been like this before.

She used to be open and warm to everyone. It was him–he was the one who’d pushed her, step by step, into becoming guarded like this.

And it was from that point on that the girl who once looked only at him had turned and walked away with someone else.

“Mrs. Cross, with guys like that, just give me a signal next time. I’llhandle it,” Bruce said once they were on the road.

“No need. He’s not worth the energy.”

Isabelle had truly moved on. That person didn’t stir a thing in her anymore.

“Ding-”

Damian finally replied to the text Isabelle had sent earlier.

“Miss you.”

Isabelle smiled, the tightness in her chest finally easing.

When she’d seen the video, she’d been so worried-afraid of how serious his condition might be.

Now he was awake.

“How much?”

Lying in his hospital bed, Damian looked at his phone and couldn’t help a faint smirk. “You’ll find out when I get back.”

“That sounds intimidating,” Isabelle teased.

After that, Damian didn’t reply again.
