The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 37

Brittany didn't want to make things awkward with William. "William, I don't think I'm cut out to keep working at VelvetGlow Jewellery. I want to start my own business."

William sighed. He was worried that Brittany was leaving because she wanted to distance herself from him.

"Bri, if you've decided to leave VelvetGlow Jewellery, just go for it," he said, pausing for a moment before adding, "And remember, if you ever hit a rough patch out there, VelvetGlow will always welcome you back."

He was relieved that he had never expressed his feelings for Brittany. At least they were still friends, still able to care for each other.

"William, thank you," said Brittany.

Brittany knew she couldn't go back. After hanging up, she drove to the seafood market.

To celebrate signing a partnership agreement with Wesley, Brittany bought some lobsters and other seafood, then returned to her apartment with the rewards.

The apartment was as quiet as ever. She started preparing dinner.

Grandeur Capital.

A man in a black suit was sitting in a leather chair, joking to the guy in a pink shirt across from him, "I recently invested in a new studio, the owner's a newbie, who knows if it'll pay off."

Isaac asked, "Got nothing better to do?"

Wesley, a CEO himself, was discussing petty investments with him.

Being friends with Isaac was such a bore, Wesley thought. "By the way, William's out of the hospital. How about we catch up over dinner? Maybe tonight?"

Just as they were discussing, Isaac's phone buzzed. He glanced at it instinctively.

Isaac picked up his phone, shot Wesley a warning look, and then looked down to reply to the message.

Wesley asked, "Whom are you texting? Your wife?"

Wesley was curious about who Isaac's wife was, who could possibly have Isaac wrapped around her finger.

Brittany had sent a photo of the dinner she'd prepared, with a note. ["Get home early, seafood waits for no man."]

Isaac checked the time and replied, ["I'll be home at 8."]

["Okay,"] Brittany responded. Once she knew when he'd be home, she didn't text further.

Isaac put down his phone and turned to Wesley, "We'll talk about William some other time."
