Chapter 2045


    Isabel heaved a sigh of relief. Through sheer will, she made herself forget about the passionate scenes fromst night reying


    in her mind endlessly.


    She was truly unlucky to have met someone as scummy as Decker.


    As if his cheating on her five years ago and pping her was not enough, he tried to do something so vile to herst night!


    Although his ns were foiled, she was still upset that it happened at all.


    More importantly, she did not know how she was ever going to face Rnd again!


    Ahh, how embarrassing!


    Ding!


    Suddenly, her phone rang.


    She reached for her phone and immediately recognized the name on the disy: Rnd. The name immediately spurred


    memories fromst night, of scenes of him kissing her hungrily.


    Even now, she could recall the heat of his sweat trickling onto her cheeks.


    Her hands trembled, and the phone slipped out of her hand andnded on her thigh.


    "Isabel, are you okay?" Ca asked worriedly.


    The two bodyguards turned around to look as well.


    Isabel murmured, "I''m fine."


    She picked up the phone and promptly silenced it. She chose to pretend to have missed the phone call.


    After a while, the ringtone ended atst.


    Rnd followed up with a text, "My mother told me you went off to work."


    Upon not receiving a reply from Isabel after several minutes passed, he followed up with yet another text, "Where are you


    working? Where''s the location of the shoot?”


    Isabel continued to ignore his messages. She wanted to y it down as if she did not have her phone with her at all.


    Rnd stopped texting her after that.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    After her restless beating heart finally calmed down, she tucked the phone into her pocket.


    Inside the president''s office at Carter Tower, Rnd stood by the window and stared at the phone in his hand.


    Twenty minutes had passed, and yet there was no word from Isabel.


    Did she forget her phone? Did she not want to talk to him?


    Knock.


    There was a knock on the door.


    Rnd put his phone away. "Come in."


    He sat down on the chair.


    His assistant stepped in and handed him a stack of documents that he requested, along with some other work- rted reports.


    Rnd nodded solemnly after his assistant finished rying the report, "I see, thank you. You can get back to it now."


    The assistant hesitated for a moment before informing him," Sir, | received some information. Someone has been investigating


    you."


    Rnd was startled for a moment before asking suspiciously, "It''s Decker, isn’t it?"


    The assistant seemed taken aback by his spection." That’s him. How did you know?"


    Rnd lowered his head and started to go through the sheet of documents. He remarked distractedly, "Don''t worry about him."


    His assistant had been working with him for more than a year and was aware of his personality now. Although he was curious as


    to why Decker would investigate him and the rtionship between the two men, he stifled his curiosity and left the office.


    For the first round of filming of "Legend of the Goddess", the crew gathered in a newly built district on the edges of Westchester.


    The architectural style of this area was modeled after an older period.


    Isabel''s first scene was scheduled for the evening, so she arrived rtively early.


    The director and most of the other actors had arrived as well, and the crew members were setting up the set.


    Upon noticing her, the director seemed concerned and quickly approached her. He spoke to her in a hushed voice," Isabel, why


    did you and Decker suddenly disappearst night during the dinner party? Did something happen to you?
