“What? Now that you’re a company president, you don’t recognize your old
friend anymore?” Gordon’s casual voice came through the phone, and
Isabella chuckled, her tense nerves relaxing considerably.

“What are you talking about? I’m not that ungrateful.” While joking with him,
she grabbed her coat and left her office. “If you have time, come to Nemotors
and I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Gordon snorted. “Stingy, trying to pass me off with cafeteria food.”
“Remember the hard times. Don’t underestimate cafeteria food.” Isabella
entered the elevator, asking seriously, “Are you coming? I’ll treat you to the
most expensive menu.”
Gordon laughed. He was just here to see her, so it didn’t matter what he ate.
“Order the most expensive/menu, and I’ll be there soon.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

After hanging up the phone, the elevator arrived at the ground floor, and

Isabella greeted Alex once again. Alex informed her that she had organized a
lunch gathering and told her not to worry. Isabella sighed. Some people were
indeed born for the workplace; Alex wasted no time fitting into the
department.
She walked into the cafeteria, which was quite large, but not many people
were there. From time to time, people came over to greet her, and a few
middle managers wanted to join her for a meal. However, when they saw
that she had ordered quite a lot, they knew she had made plans and wisely
didn’t try to join her.
Half an hour later, Gordon walked in, dressed in sportswear and shorts, with a
badminton racket on his back, looking like he had just finished exercising.
Isabella stood up and waved, immediately attracting a lot of attention. There
were already rumors about her unusual relationship with Seth, and now, on
her first day, she was seen meeting with Gordon, which led to whispers
among the onlookers.
Gordon sat down in front of Isabella, immediately gulping down half a glass
of water, his forehead covered in sweat. Isabella took out the tissue she
09:54 Mon, 8 Jan G

carried with her. “Need a wipe?”
Raising an eyebrow, Gordon ignored the people around, leaned his face
forward, and smirked. “You wipe it for me.”

Isabella was speechless. Without the hesitation she had when they first met,
she directly threw the tissue at his face. “Wipe it yourself!”
Gordon clicked his tongue. “You weren’t like this the first time we met.”
Isabella hummed, “How was I the first time we met? Like when you splashed
water on me?”
Gordon was speechless. “Why are you bringing up old scores?” Worried that
the topic would deviate, he quickly glanced at the food on the table and
complained. “No appetite. Looks greasy.”
Isabella guessed that he wouldn’t be able to eat much after exercising, so
she thought for a moment and said, “Wait here; I’ll get you some fruit.”
Gordon rested his arm on the chair and nodded casually. “Okay.”

Isabella went to the food window. There weren’t many decent fruits, so she
picked a relatively fresh watermelon and, while she had time, quickly ordered
a takeaway. Not for anything else, but Gordon was a friend after all, and it
would be too disappointing to have him come all this way for a bad meal.
She brought the watermelon back, and Gordon had already finished the first.
two glasses of water.
“Wait, I ordered something. It’ll be here soon.”
Gordon didn’t care. He put two pieces of watermelon in his mouth and was
pleasantly surprised. “It’s quite sweet.” As he spoke, he picked up another
piece and held it up to her mouth.
Taken aback, Isabella hesitated for a bit, and he frowned. “What’s wrong?
There’s no saliva on it!”
Isabella had no choice but to open her mouth. The chilled watermelon
entered her mouth, sweet and refreshing, and the man across from her
raised an eyebrow at her, his smile mischievous. “Sweet, isn’t it?”
Isabella’s mood improved. “Yes, it’s sweet.”

Gordon squinted his eyes, looking pleased and content, eating watermelon
and teasing her, “In just a few days, you’ve become the president of
Nemotors. Should I call you Miss President when we meet?”
Isabella’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. “Go ahead, say it, and let me hear
it.”
Rolling his eyes, he stuffed another piece of watermelon into her mouth.
“Dream on.”
Isabella chewed the cool and refreshing watermelon. “According to the
hierarchy, I’m now on par with your father.”

Suddenly, Gordon found the watermelon in his mouth not so sweet anymore.
He had been urged by Xavier to go to the company to learn the ropes
recently, and he had originally planned to hide for a few more years. But after
hearing what Isabella said, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Isabella caught the change in his expression and thought
that she had said something wrong. Just as she was about to ask, her phone
suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. She made a gesture and

lowered her head to answer the call. “Hello?”
“Miss Symons, this is Jordan. Some of the information has been sent to your
email.”
In an instant, she became serious. “Okay, I got it.”
There was a pause on Jordan’s end as if he had something else to say, but
then there was no sound.
Isabella was a bit bewildered. “Jordan?”
“Sorry, it’s nothing.”
Beep, beep, beep.
Left in confusion, she glanced at her phone, then looked up in thought.
Gordon took a peek at her phone. “Who was it?”
Isabella put down her phone. “It’s nothing.”

Gordon reckoned that it was probably work-related, which he had no interest

Isabella thought he wasn’t feeling well from the food, which made her feel
even more guilty, so she went to the window to find something else for him.

As Gordon enjoyed her attention, his mood gradually brightened, and he
insisted on feeding her whatever he was eating. Helplessly, Isabella found it
inappropriate at first, but later, she became numb to it.
