Chapter 361
He was very clear about Joseph’s personality, and he was also very clear about Isabella’s hesitation in this relationship. Especially after seeing Joseph leave with a cold face last night, he saw Isabella’s eyes flash with some light...
Cedric was not willing to lose so quickly in this competition. He wanted her. He now had changed from being attracted to being nervous and anxious.
It was a terrifying obsession.
As long as he had a little more time to interact with Isabella, he believed that Isabella would eventually notice him. He would do his best. He would make her forget about Joseph, that bastard who cheated on her.
She would finally like him.
Cedric closed his eyes...
Cedric’s phone suddenly rang.
Cedric thought that Isabella had something to do and called back. When he saw the screen, he was stunned.
.....
The call was from Joseph.
Cedric lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before answering.
“Cedric, I know you’re at home. If you’re a real man, let’s go out and talk. We have to settle things between Isabella and us.”
Joseph’s voice was very calm. Cedric thought for a while and said, “Where are we meeting?”
“Room 1208 of Star Building. It’s opposite your apartment.”
In the Vans Nightclub.
Isabella looked at the funny show on the stage and could not help but applaud and cheer.
“Isabella.” It was Miles.
She walked over and held Isabella’s hand, saying warmly, “I have an appointment with the makeup artists. Let’s go upstairs to play games and stop fooling around with these men. The smoke smells bad...”
Isabella smiled, replying, “Thanks, Miles. But I will go back then.”
“Don’t be in such a hurry. We will play all night until dawn today. Let’s go first. It’s not fun to have few people.”
Isabella was in a dilemma.
Miles usually took good care of her in the crew, despite that she was not someone big. Miles not only chatted with her, but would also teach her some basic acting skills. Therefore, Isabella didn’t really want to embarrass her.
But it was almost 11 o’clock now, and Cedric said that he was still waiting for her. Isabella didn’t want to stay there.
Lukas saw that Isabella was in a difficult position then. He looked at his watch and acted like an older brother to suggest in a low voice, “Since Miles took the initiative to invite you, you can go over and play for half an hour. Then you can say that you are sleepy and leave early.”
Isabella felt that it was a proper idea. So she stood up, saying, “Okay. Miles, let’s go.”
Miles immediately revealed a beautiful smile and held Isabella’s hand to go upstairs.
“I’ll give my brother a call first. He seems to be waiting for me.”
While going upstairs, Isabella thought it was better to report it to Cedric. After all, Cedric had said that he would wait for her. It was a little too much for her to be so late.
“No. Don’t call your brother. He will definitely drag you back.”
“My brother is like that. If he knows that I’m hanging out, he would definitely rush over and drag me back. There is no reason for him to be so overbearing.” Miles stopped Isabella from making the call.
Isabella could not help but laugh. She felt that Cedric really had the demeanor of an elder brother. In this aspect, it was really possible.
‘Forget it. In any case, I only prepare to play for another half an hour. It isn’t too late. It wouldn’t be good if I disappoint Miles and the other girls.’ Isabella thought.
Isabella put away the phone, saying, “Alright.”
The two of them entered the private room upstairs. Miles naturally took out two cans of drinks from the fridge and brought one to Isabella, saying, “You drink first. I’ll call them at the door and ask them to come up quickly. They’re dawdling again!”
Isabella nodded and took a sip of the drink. Miles looked at her with satisfaction and left.
Isabella sat and played with the small die on the table for a while. Suddenly, she felt her mouth go dry and her throat itched.
Isabella frowned and took another sip from the drink behind her. However, the more she drank, the thirstier and more uncomfortable she felt.
She realized that something was wrong. Then she threw away the drink and walked to the fridge to find some water.
She started to feel dizzy and her footsteps began to stagger. Isabella shook her head vigorously and muttered to herself in confusion, “What’s going on? I only drank a bit of low-degree champagne. How can I faint?”
Isabella took out a bottle of mineral water and held the refrigerator, trying to get back to the sofa to sit down. Just when she was to lift her foot, she fell to the ground at once.
Miles walked in from the door with a frightened look on her face, saying, “Isabella, what happened to you? Isabella!”
“Miles, I seem to be drunk...”
“My head hurts and I feel weak. Can you help me call my brother? I want to go back early.”
“How can that be?
“You should take a rest first,” Miles said as she helped Isabella up.
Meanwhile, Isabella had a blackout and fainted.
When Isabella opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the strange itch in her body.
She felt as if there were tens of thousands of insects crawling on her chest and body, making her feel crazy and uncomfortable.
Isabella tugged at her collar, trying to get rid of this uncomfortable heat.
As soon as she reached out, she found that her clothes were not right.
Isabella was shocked. She looked down and saw that she was only wearing a red sling nightgown that was as thin as a cicada’s wing. However, it was actually very difficult to say that she was wearing pajamas because what should be covered and should not be covered was all revealed.
Isabella looked at the unfamiliar room and realized that she was alone. She was surprised and struggled to get up. Then the door opened and Miles walked in.
“Miles?”
As Isabella spoke, she found that her voice was strange. It was too soft, and she couldn’t raise any strength to speak. It was actually kind of... coquettish.
Isabella frowned and said directly, “Where are we? What clothes am I wearing?”
Miles smiled, with a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes. She then said, “Isabella, I think that your acting skills are not good enough now. So I especially helped you find someone to guide you.”
Isabella was stunned and saw Director Lee walk in.
Isabella was so frightened that she quickly pulled the sheets to wrap herself.
“Damn, this girl is so smart. She only drank two mouthfuls of that drink. The amount of medicine is not enough and she even knows to cover herself.” Miles’s expression suddenly changed. Her originally beautiful and pure face which was like an angel instantly became sinister and terrifying. “Lee, hurry up and get her more medicine.”
Director Lee replied and began to size up Isabella with a sly look. Then, he took out two cans of drinks and handed them to Isabella, whose face was abnormally red then. “Isabella, be good. Drink it. It tastes especially good.”
Isabella turned over and wanted to get off the bed.
“What the fuck are you dawdling for!” Miles pushed Director Lee from behind, “Now is the time for you to be tender to a girl? Be quick! Or the efficacy will be gone!”
