Chapter 44: Chapter 51: Just for her, can't stop loving (2)

Percy Stanton slowly closes his eyes and whispers softly, "Isabel, look at me once, and I will remember you for a lifetime."

"Even as time flies, your glance back freezes time."

"A year, a year of time. You used this year to lift the Smith Corporation to new heights, and I used this year to win your heart!"

...

Inside the apartment, after Percy leaves, only Isabel remains, sitting alone in her bedroom.

After a while, Isabel slowly gets up, walks to the bedside cabinet, opens a drawer and takes out a finely crafted Peninsula Iron Box.

It has a small golden lock on it, and she pulls out a key. She unlocks the Peninsula Iron Box to reveal a few scattered cards and five dollars.

She stares at the items for a long while before extending her hand to pick up the cards neatly written with her beautiful handwriting.
