Brittany got scared and quickly shook her head, "No way, Mr. Salter is good for his word. He wouldn't go back on such a small matter."
She just wanted to make sure. She didn't want Isaac to know that she could be cunning too.
Isaac looked at her with a playful gleam in his eyes, "Ms. Dustin, you're not scared of letting people know you're playing the Dustin family, are you?"
With her current abilities, dealing with the Dustin family wasn't a big deal.
What was she afraid of?
"I'm not scared of the Dustin family," Brittany's face softened a bit, "My husband doesn't know about this. I don't want him to know that I can be manipulative."
She wanted Isaac to always see her good side. She didn't want him to know about her dark side.
Isaac was surprised by her reason, "Your husband doesn't know about this?"
"Yes, so I hope Mr. Salter can keep this a secret," Brittany held back her fear and stuck to her guns.
Isaac leaned in a bit, his eyes deepening. He grew up in the Salter family, which was with all sorts of schemes. He could see through Brittany's little game in a heartbeat.
He didn't like innocent people. He preferred those with a bit of cunning.
How could one survive in the Salter family without some sort of scheme?
But Brittany was afraid of him seeing this side of her, even going as far as to ask him to keep a secret despite her fear.
She was clearly scared but had no choice but to ask.
This was a side of Brittany he'd never seen before.
Almost instinctively, he reached out and grabbed Brittany's chin, meeting her surprised eyes. Then he realized, he wasn't her husband.
He was "Mr. Salter”!
Brittany stiffened, clearly not expecting his move. A flash of rejection crossed her eyes before she tried to back away.
"Mr. Salter, I'm married. Please respect me."
This big shot was getting too flirty!
Seeing her resistance, Isaac wanted to tease her even more. He stepped closer, cornering her against the wall, "Ms. Dustin, shouldn't you give me something in return for keeping your secret?"
His voice was low and husky, his warm breath hitting her face.
Everyone knew what he meant by "something in return".
Brittany blushed, surprised that the lofty Mr. Salter could be such a playful and cheeky man!
