Chapter 693
Brittany felt a twinge of annoyance at the term “my wife,” but chose to remain silent.
Isaac, assuming she was just tired, drove her home in the upscale Radiant Residences.
Before she got out of the car, Isaac caught her hand. “We’re looking for a partner for the chemical plant project.
Would you consider it?”
He and Wesley could take on the project themselves, but he wanted Brittany to have a part in it.
“No need.” Brittany unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and thanked him for the ride. She picked up her
luggage and walked into Radiant Residences. She’d been exhausted all week, and after reaching home, all she
wanted was a good rest.
Isaac watched her retreating figure, and after a while, he finally left.
For the next period of time, Brittany threw herself into preparing for the bid meeting.
Isaac was also visibly busy, leaving early and returning late. They lived under the same roof but rarely had the
chance to see each other.
On the eve of the bid meeting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrittany locked herself in the study until late into the night.
When Isaac returned, it was already quite late.
When he heard that Brittany hadn’t rested yet, he paused, then went to the kitchen to make a cup of warm milk
and pushed open the door to the study.
When Brittany worked, she was particularly focused.
She had removed her makeup, and her face was natural. Her eyes were clear and bright. She wore a pair of black-
rimmed glasses that gave her an air of innocence compared to her usual polished appearance.
Isaac walked over to the desk and placed the milk down.
Brittany, busy with her work, didn’t notice his arrival.
Isaac pulled up a chair and sat across from her, staring at her intently.
When Brittany finished reading through the proposal, she looked up to meet his dark eyes. Startled, she frowned.
“When did you get here?”
Did he not realize how frightening it was to suddenly appear in the middle of the night?
“I’ve been here for a while.” Isaac gestured towards the milk. “It’s late. Have some warm milk and go to bed.”
Brittany couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. The most important thing at the time was the bid meeting.
“You go to bed. Don’t worry about me
Isaac saw her determination, leaned forward, and took the papers from her, throwing them aside. He then pulled
her up. “Your proposal is already comprehensive. You’ve done a great job. Rest early and gather your strength.”
Brittany tried to resist.
“If you won’t sleep, should I stay with you?” Isaac’s eyes narrowed, knowing that Brittany disliked him, he decided
to fight fire with fire.
Brittany shook him off. “I get it.”
She picked up the warm milk and drained it in one gulp.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Isaac’s eyes as Brittany put down the cup and left the room.
Isaac picked up the cup, and his eyes focused on the spot where she had touched it. His fingers lightly traced it as
though it still held her warmth.
With the bid meeting imminent, Brittany tossed and turned, unable to sleep until dawn.
At eight o’clock in the morning.
Brittany appeared on time at the bid meeting. Wesley, due to other commitments, was unable to attend.
Just as Brittany took her seat, she was spotted by Joseph Palmer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ms. Dustin.” Joseph approached with a group of people; his smile was seemingly pleasant but it could have sent a
chill down one’s spine.
Brittany narrowed her eyes. “Mason Palmer, are you here for the bid meeting too?”
“Yes, this land is quite good.” Joseph sat down without invitation. “The Palmer family mainly deals in jewelry, but
when such a good opportunity presents itself, I naturally want a piece of the pie.”
Joseph wasn’t satisfied with just jewelry. He intended to expand his business, and that piece of land was the first
step.
They chatted idly for a while until Joseph suddenly changed the topic. “Ms. Dustin, it seems you haven’t visited the
film set in a while?”
“I’ve been busy with work. I haven’t had the chance.”
The work on the set had been taken over by Kari Malone and was progressing smoothly.
Joseph smiled. “Next month, I’m getting engaged to Stella Thorne. I welcome you to come and have a drink.”
Brittany hadn’t expected their engagement to be so soon. “All right, I’ll be there.”
After Joseph left, Brittany rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat irritable.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Dustin. We have a good chance at this bid meeting.” Her assistant tried to comfort her. Brittany
had spent many sleepless nights preparing for this bid meeting, and she could tell that Brittany really wanted to win
this project.
