"As long as it's for the best, there’s no rush. My friends are not in a hurry either. Take your time to get to know my son, and he's a real catch!"
Izabella was a bit baffled by the statement, but she nodded her head in agreement with the last part.
Casey was indeed quite an impressive young man. She'd heard tales of his status as the golden boy of high society.
It wasn't until she met Casey that she truly understood that phrase. He was like a spark hidden beneath an iceberg: aloof and cold on the outside but with a fiery passion burning within. To many people, he was like the sun, forever shining in the sky, a beacon of hope and a figure of reverence.

Izabella shook her head, "Nope."
Later, she would ask Brad for a short break. She had delegated her work at the company to her subordinates, including the contract termination notice that needed to be sent out tonight.

Beck, oblivious to the storm brewing, continued, "Of course, I have a keen eye for people."
Bunny didn’t hesitate to grill him, "Then tell me, where did you meet them, how many have you met, what are their names, what do they look like, what happened between you?"
Beck was taken aback, fear slowly creeping into his eyes as he felt the icy gaze of his wife piercing his back.
"Honey, I only saw it online, just some short videos."
Bunny sarcastically quipped, "Seems like you've been watching many babe videos."
"No, I really didn't watch any inappropriate videos. You can check my phone if you don't believe me."
