Chapter 43: Chapter 50: Just for her, can’t stop loving (1) Chapter 43: Chapter 50: Just for her, can’t stop loving (1) “And when you came to me, you believed in my abilities. You know that my usefulness is much greater than that of Henry Maxwell of Maxwell Group. So, I am quite confident about the restructuring of Smith Corporation. However, I have one…”
Before Percy Stanton could finish his words, Isabel Smith cleverly anticipated what he was about to say and directly interjected, in a particularly composed tone: “What are your conditions?”
Paused, Isabel then added: “What are your conditions?”
Once, Percy received an eight-figure salary offer from a company to hire him, but he never abandoned his five-figure salary and switched jobs. So, what conditions did he set for her to accept his recruitment?
Percy didn’t speak, but his gaze became somewhat sharp.
His eyes focused on an inexplicable void, and the hand holding the document bag was slightly tightened.
After a while, he raised the corners of his lips, revealing a shallow smile that was both beautiful and extraordinary. He spoke slowly, in a deep and indifferent voice, each word striking the heart: “… Be my lover for a year. After a year, I will give you a revived Smith Corporation.”
The meaning of Percy’s words couldn’t be more clear.
To put it nicely, she would be his lover, and to put it bluntly, she would be using her body to gain benefits.
No name, no status, just his plaything.
Isabel looked at Percy as his eyelashes lightly drooped, completely hiding the fleeting sadness at the bottom of his eyes, without giving away any clues.
Her face remained calm, and after a while, she lifted her eyelids again, and the calmness in her eyes was the same impenetrable Isabel that Percy had always been familiar with. Searᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Her eyes were like a dead pool of water, calm without any ripples. She gracefully nodded to him, and then finally spoke, her tone as calm as if she wasn’t talking about herself: “Okay, I agree.”
In fact, by doing this, Percy was trying to find a way out for their relationship.
He used the contract to cover up his remaining pathetic self-esteem, but unexpectedly, she was even more decisive and composed than him.
Percy’s heart rose with a sense of frustration.
For a brief moment, his face was filled with anger, the corners of his lips habitually raised, and he let out a mocking sneer from his nostrils. He then pulled out the contract from the document bag, didn’t even glance at it, picked up the pen, and signed two big characters with flamboyance.
Percy Stanton.
Only when the name “Percy Stanton” was written down did Isabel take a long sigh and then take the pen from Percy’s hand and sign her name.
As Isabel carefully signed her name, Percy pulled out a copy of the contract with a cold expression, stood up, left without saying a single word, turned around and walked away.
After stepping out of Isabel’s apartment, Percy stood in the corridor, staring at the contract in his hand, his expression changing constantly.
He knew that people can make mistakes, but they shouldn’t make the same mistakes twice.
However, he had just made another mistake for Isabel.
He knew she didn’t remember him, but he still chose a way of life that tied them together.
Because he couldn’t find a reason to persuade himself to let go.
Because deep in his heart, it roared: you’ve waited for six years, why let go now?
Indeed, for six years, he guarded an empty city, waiting for someone from the past. This period was neither long nor short, during which he endured the pain and loneliness alone. After a hard time, her reappearance finally came, their reunion after separation. He thought about it over and over, only to find that the only thing he could do was not to let go of his love for her!</p
