Loveless Marriage

Chapter 30  Are You Sure That

"There is no need to resign. I'll just need to be more careful. I'll resign when my belly is too big."

Isabella shook her head and smiled to comfort her.

Now that she became the only financial source of the whole family, and they still owed a lot of debt.

She couldn't quit her job no matter what. For the sake of her children, she still had to go to work.

However, she didn’t say those words out loud, because she didn’t want to give her mother any

pressure.

Diana understood her very much, but she didn't want her to worry that much. So she could request,

"Then you can work for three more months at most. When babies are six months, you must go home

on leave."

"Uh—huh, I know. When the time comes, even if I don't resign, they will chase me away as well."

Isabella thought that if her colleagues still hadn't find out in three months, then how thick the clothes

she must be wearing then…

With nothing Diana could do about her, she just looked at her daughter with a helpless and pained

expression, "Let's go home."

"Wait!" Isabella grabbed her arm and looked at the shopping mall beside them, then smiled, "I won’t

work in the afternoon, so let's go some shopping."

She also wanted to have a look at the baby products,

which she had to buy double at a time.

She just didn't know their sex.

Thinking of this, she smiled, filled with anticipation.

"Okay." It was rare to see her daughter so happy, Diana nodded lovingly.

……...

Next day before work, Isabella chose a loose dress with flatties.

Watching herself in front of the mirror, she was so grateful that her company didn’t required their

employees to wear formal clothes, otherwise, she just didn't know what to do.

Yesterday she didn't buy any baby supplies, but bought a bunch of clothes for hiding her growing belly,

which were all loose-style. Fortunately, she was petite and had a fair skin, so it wasn't obvious even if

she got chubby now.

After dressing up, she drove to the company.

"Isabella, how was your vacation? Did you have a good time in Japan?"

Someone greeted her as soon as she arrived at her department.

"Why do you even ask that? Look, her clothes should be new, but … Isabella, your recent style… really

changes a lot." Someone looked at her and said in ridicule.

Isabella was startled. She deliberately showed a dissatisfied expression, "Are you praising or belittling

me? You have one more chance to say it again, or… I will not give you any gift I bought in Japan."

"Praise, praise, praise... of course praise, my princess. " Her subordinate immediately began to flatter.

Isabella arrogantly snorted, and then distributed the gifts one by one while smiling.

"Miss. Jones, Mr. Smith wants to see you in his office." Mr. Smith's assistant, Ellie said.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

“She then looked at others at said: "Please place the new documents and paper these days on my

table."

After that, she left out.

At the door of executive office, Isabella knocked on the door, "Mr. Smith, you wants to see me?"

"Hum, how was your vacation these few days?" Mr. Smith asked in a normal tone.

Isabella nodded her head, "It was good. And I would have no problem in working."

"That's wonderful, and have you borrowed the money yet?" He then asked.

”"Yes." Isabella frowned, "Mr. Smith, Do you have anything to ask me for?"

Mr. Smith turned to look at the more luxurious building across the window, saying:" The Polygon Group

planned to put up its filiale in Brighton."

"..."

Isabella was startled. Did she misheard?

The Polygon Group had already collaborated with Benton, so if its filiale was set in Brighton, the two

companies would get in touch much more frequently.

When she heard this news, her mind was weighted down as she didn't want to have anything to do with

Christian anymore.

"Do you have any plan?"

Mr. Smith looked at her, "Of course we should try our best to get more cooperation opportunities. The

headquarters viewed Polygon very highly, and tells us be sure to seize this chance."

Isabella looked a bit hesitated and confused, "but, Mr. Smith, I just know how to deal with data. I really

don’t know how to negotiate."

She still wanted to refuse, even though she had done this once.

Also, her body was not at the right time working so hard every day."

"I know you're not good with it, but you're eloquent which could help a lot." As an experienced and

smart businessman, Mr. Smith had his way of educating his subordinates, "Yes, it would be hard, but

you won’t be hard it for nothing. I will give you bonus for it."

"…"

Isabella had no idea how to refuse him.

Know that she was short of money recently, the scheming man may want to squeeze her hard.

She would have gladly accepted it if she wasn’t pregnant, but she didn't want to take the risk now.

"Alright, I’ll get myself prepared." She could only reply in a perfunctory manner. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Before she left, she asked, "When will the people from the Polygon Group get here?"

Mr. Smith thought for a moment, then said: "Next month."

"Okay, I know."

She hoped Christian wouldn't come personally.

……...

The Poligon Group's executive office, Leeds

"Christ, here's your coffee." Lexie who gussied up walked in.

"Okay."

The man was reading documents. Just then, the phone next to him rang.

The two of them subconsciously looked over it.

Christian saw the number name on it, then he said to lexie, "Please go out."

Lexie obediently smiled, then turned and left.

After the door was closed, the man pressed the button and said in a low voice, "How was it?"

"Nothing found." It was a man's voice, which was a very clean acoustic line.

Christian's face immediately darkened, frowning, "Nothing? Did you go to the hospital?"

"What do you think? I went to the obstetrics and gynecology department for the first time in my life, not

for my wife but for a man." The man cursed in annoyance, then asked playfully, "Are you sure that’s

your child?"
