After a while, Isaac finally broke the silence and asked, "How's the kidney situation?"
"Not going as well as we hoped."
"Hurry it up."
Derek looked down, feeling low. He was lying. There was actually new progress, but he didn’t want to say it.
He couldn't understand why Isaac was into a woman like Brittany.
He had checked Brittany's background. Nothing special there.
Besides a pretty face and a studio, he couldn’t see anything that trumped Loraine.
"Zac, I've been back for a while now. How about we grab dinner tonight?" Derek proposed, "Bring your wife too."
Isaac pondered for a moment, "Sure."
Derek left, satisfied.
Isaac messaged Brittany, got a positive reply, and asked Nathan to book a restaurant.
Brittany returned to her studio, dealt with the pile of documents, and sent Loraine's designs over.
Loraine was very pleased.
Brittany contacted the factory and made a full jewelry set according to Loraine's requirements.
Busy till 6 pm, Brittany received a call from Isaac, packed up her stuff, and left the studio.
Isaac was already there.
Brittany hurried over, opened the passenger door, and saw a strange man sitting in the back seat.
"Zakky, who's this?"
"My friend, Derek."
"Derek, this is my wife, Brittany."
Brittany smiled, "Hello, Mr. Derek."
From the moment Brittany appeared, Derek had been sizing her up.
He had to admit Brittany was stunning. Even Derek, who had seen many beautiful women, was shocked at first sight.
No makeup, but still breathtaking.
Her eyes were so beautiful they looked like a painting, giving a strange sense of familiarity.
But he was sure they had never met before.
He reached out his hand, "Hello, Ms. Dustin."
Brittany shook his hand and then pulled it back, looking at Isaac, "Was your afternoon busy? Have you been waiting long?"
