    "Yes. | have what it takes to get the Carter Corporation on my side," Isabel dered with steel in her voice.


    "Heh." Decker chuckled dismissively before interrogating her, "What exactly is it that you have that Carter Corporation would be


    willing to help you?"


    He sized her up a few times upon raising this question.


    Isabel squinted. "Keep staring at me like that and I''ll poke your eyes out. Want to try me?"


    Her voice was ferocious.


    Deckers seemed to be taken aback by her vicious demeanor. He collected himself and formed that same smile again. "Would


    you mind telling me who your inside connection in Carter Corporation is?"


    "No." Isabel shot him down, "But what | can tell you is that the nature of my rtionship with Carter Corporation is perfectly


    legitimate. We are equals unlike what''s going on between you and Isabe."


    Amere actor would prop herself on equal footing with Carter Corporation, one of the most prestigious corporations in


    Westchester? Who would believe that?


    Decker scoffed and changed his approach this time. "Sure, so who is your boyfriend in Carter Corporation?"


    Isabel made a face before expressing disappointedly,"


    Decker, how old are you? Is this the only thing you have on your mind. Is that the only kind of rtionship you can ever


    comprehend?"


    Decker smiled slyly. "So, you''re saying that this person in Carter Corporation helping you is just a friend?"


    "Yes, we are just friends. in and simple,” Isabel said bluntly.


    "| see. How did you be in and simple friends with this person?" Decker asked while inching closer toward her.


    Isabel cocked an eyebrow. "I''m not telling you."


    Decker peered at her quietly.


    Isabel was done fussing about this with her, and she turned to leave.


    "So, you don''t have a boyfriend right now?" Decker asked stoutly.


    She ignored him and continued pressing forward. Her strides were quick and steady, and she held herself with a prideful attitude,


    unafraid of the man behind her.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Decker broke into a jog so that he could cut off her path. He stared defiantly into her eyes and asked, "Isabel, have you not dated


    anybody else since you left me five years ago?"


    “What business of yours is it whether | have a boyfriend or not?" she asked irritably.


    Decker disyed a satisfied grin and expressed, "You still can''t forget about me, can you?"


    Isabel was silent.


    On that night five years ago when Decker had pped her mercilessly across her face, she had feltpletely crushed. There


    must have been something about the overwhelmed state of mind at the time that somehow awoken all of her slumbering


    memories. It was shortly after that when she packed up everything and left Southboro to return to Westchester.


    Her heart continued to ache for a while after that, but more than anything else she was consumed with the desire to storm back


    to Southboro and give Decker a beating for what he had done to her.


    Still, she acknowledged that their rtionship was over. She sorted out her thoughts and decided to find something to do for


    herself to keep herself upied.


    That was when she decided to enter the entertainment industry and plunged herself into a hectic but also fulfilling lifestyle to the


    point where she could not find time for dating, much less seeing other people.


    After a prolonged silence, she asked, "Decker, have you used the washroom yet?"


    Decker was caught off guard by this. "No, what''s the matter?"


    "Why don''t you use the washroom now?" Isabel said while rolling her eyes, "Good time to look at yourself in the mirror as well.”


    Decker regarded her silently.


    Upon noticing his reluctance to respond, Isabelpped around him and continued walking back into the venue.


    She only managed a few steps when his voice came from behind again, "Isabel, if youe back to me, | promise that | can


    give you everything you''ll ever need. | just cannot give you a publicbel as my girlfriend just yet. However, | swear that our


    children will be the first sessor in line to the Rockwell assets."


    Isabel stopped.


    What the man said was utterly ridiculous, and she could notugh even if she tried.


    She looked back at him. "Decker, are you hoping that our hypothetical kid turns out like you in the future?"
