Bab 403: Chapter 417: Overestimating Oneself, Underestimating Love (19)

Percy Stanton held onto the mobile phone, listening to the single word he just heard. At that moment, he suddenly felt as if he had a language barrier and couldn't utter a single word.

...

When Percy made this phone call, Secretary Emille was explaining her recent itinerary to Isabel Smith.

The office room was eerily quiet, with only Secretary Emille's voice echoing sentence by sentence.

Isabel remained silent throughout the whole time Secretary Emille was speaking.

Suddenly, Isabel's mobile phone on the office desk rang.

Isabel seemed to be lost in thought and didn't react, so Secretary Emille reminded her: "Miss Smith, your phone is ringing again."

Isabel turned her head, glanced at the caller, thought, "What's meant to come will come," and then said to Secretary Emille, "You can leave now."

After Secretary Emille left the office, Isabel took a deep breath, picked up her phone, pressed the answer key, and said "Hello" to the person on the other end.
