0008 +25 BONUS On the other hand , Isla shifted her gaze away from her husband . She felt relieved to see him surrounded by business men instead of Delphine . But she had come here to enjoy a night out with Betsy , and that was what she intended to do . The host guided them to their seats , around the corner . They settled in soft velvet couches . Betsy wanted to speak , but she stayed quiet until the host finished setting them down . " Just get us something light , " Betsy finally said , lifting her chin with casual charm . " I don't want alcohol , please , " Isla added softly . Her voice was steady , but her hands were clasped tightly in her lap . The host gave them a polite nod and left . " Wow , " Betsy whispered as soon as he was gone . " I wasn't expecting your husband to be here . And it looks like he's having a meeting or something . " Isla acted unconcerned , though her chest was pounding . She pulled her phone out from her clutch and started tapping on it . Let's just focus on us tonight . I actually have an offer for you , Betsy . " Betsy blinked , surprised . Her honey eyes sparkled with curiosity . " An offer ? " " Yes . " Isla's eyes stayed on her phone for a moment before she looked up . " I need you to work for me . There's a new development . " ༦༨ སྡོམ ། " You want me to leave my job ? " Betsy tilted her head , her well manicured fingers brushed her black curls to the side , and she still looked confused . " Yes . Leave it and come work with me . " Isla placed her phone down , her voice more certain now . " I was appointed as the new General Manager of The Wyndham Wardrobe . I will resume work on Monday . And I need someone I can trust to handle I & A Atelier . That someone is you . " Betsy was overwhelmed with joy . Her face lit up with genuine happiness . " What ? You ? At Wyndham Wardrobe ? Girlfriend , that's massive ! Congratulations ! " She leaned over and pulled Isla into a side hug , squeezing her . Just then , the host returned with their drinks . He placed them carefully on the glass table , the crystal cups gleaming under the golden lights . " Is there anything else you'd like ? " he asked smoothly . Isla's eyes roamed across the room with curiosity as they found Gabriel . He was still looking at her . Their eyes locked for a fleeting moment , and a question burned in her chest - Why is he watching me like that ? She quickly looked back at the host . " No , thank you . We're fine . " " Very well , ladies . I'll be close if you need anything . " He bowed slightly and stepped away . Isla leaned in with a grin . " So , what do you say ? " " If my salary is fat , who am I to say no to Mrs. Billionaire ? " Betsy teased , raising her glass with a laugh . Isla smiled softly . Her attention has been divided into two . A part of her was still trembling . She had only agreed to come out tonight because she thought Gabriel was away with Delphine . Seeing him here with businessmen made her feel strangely quilty , though she forced herself to hide it . Betsy noticed Gabriel's gaze again . " Your husband is still staring at you . Do you think he's angry ? " Isla scoffed , sipping her drink slowly . " Let him be . I have no reason to be scared . " Her tone was light , but her heart beat faster with every sip of her drink . Suddenly , Isla frowned , tilting her head . " Wait . Could this place belong to Landon ? I just remembered I heard that he was opening a new club " 1/2 0008 +25 BONUS " Really ? But if that be the case , why are the other family members not here ? I don't think so . " Betsy shook her head in disagreement . While Isla was still fighting her conflicted mind . A deep voice interrupted . " Hello , beautiful ladies . Mind if I join you ? " A tall , handsome man stood in front of them . His smile was charming , and his confidence impressive . " Of course , you can , " Betsy replied instantly , always quick and playful . Isla shot her a warning glare , but it was too late . The man slid onto the couch right beside Isla . His cologne lingered , strong , almost suffocating . Isla immediately felt uncomfortable . She stiffened , shifting slightly to the other side . Across the room , Gabriel noticed . Because his eyes were always watching his wife from afar . His hand tightened around the glass he had been holding , then he set it down hard . His jaw twitching , and in a flashing moment , he stood . His business associates turned , looking in surprise as he abandoned them mid - discussion . With long , purposeful strides , Gabriel crossed from his private space to Isla's . His eyes were blazing , dark with anger and possession . ப் He reached Isla's table . And without a word , he grabbed her hand . His grip was firm , leaving no space for argument , and in one motion he pulled her up from her seat . Betsy gasped , clearly shocked . So was Isla . The stranger stood too , frowning . " Excuse me , Mr. Wyndham . I was here before you . " Gabriel turned slowly , his glare like steel . The kind of glare that could silence anyone .
