Louisa yelled, "Isabellal Are you blind? Don't you see where you're going?" Isabella apologized repeatedly, "Sorry... Sorry, Ms. Luckett. I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'll sort them out right away." Louisa calmed down at Isabella's respectful attitude and waved her hand as she said, "You are not allowed to have lunch until you're done sorting!" Then she turned and walked off proudly in her heels.
The onlookers also dispersed.
Rihanna and Isabella picked up the documents and folders from the floor together.

When Louisa saw the results of their work, she was surprised, and her expression darkened as she said, "Oh, you're so capable? I underestimated you. How can a small company like Vaughn Corporation accommodate such capable people like you?" Rihanna and Isabella stood there, listening to her lecture.

Maguire Group and Vaughn Corporation were downtown and not far from each other. For such a short distance, Rihanna and Isabella could only walk. Fortunately, they wore flat shoes so they could move quickly through the crowd.
When they arrived at Maguire Group, there were only ten minutes left before the office closed.
But the receptionist wouldn't let them in, saying, "Sorry, ladies. You can't see Mr. Maguire without an appointment." Rihanna and Isabella were frustrated and thought, 'That's true. How can we meet the CEO of such a big organization without an appointment?" As they walked out dejectedly, Isabella suddenly had an idea. She grabbed Rihanna and ran back to the front desk. "Excuse Maguire's name?" Isabella said, looking eagerly at the receptionist with bright eyes.

The two beauties exchanged glances and shrugged. "We don't know much about Mr. Maguire," one of them said. "Then what is Victor's relationship with Mr. Maguire? Can he help? I'll find him if there's no other way," Isabella said worriedly.
The two beauties found it strange that Isabella mentioned Victor in a casual tone. Isabella treated Victor like her sidekick, unlike the women who considered themselves Victor's girlfriends.
They were amused and thought it would be fun. One of them took the drawing tube from Isabella's hand and said, "Young lady, we will pass this to Mr. Maguire for you." "Really?" Isabella said, her eyes lit up.

"Kayson, is it tiring for you to do this job?" Isabella asked.
Kayson was stunned and replied, "No!" Isabella continued, "Clayton is on a business trip. You guys must be busy." Kayson nodded, saying, "When Boss is here, we're also busy."

Kayson finally understood why he was given the task. The other three assistants had no such witTheir straight faces would be useless when е dealing with Isabella. 'T'll have to show them when I get back, he thought. When Isabella goth home, she sat on the couch and watched TV after taking a shower.
The house becquiet without Clayton.
Isabella realized that she had becaccustomed to having Clayton around. Like now, she had the urge to check if Clayton was working in the study.
She fidgeted with her phone, not paying attention to the TV show.
Isabella felt the urge to call Clayton, and the thought shocked her.
Her heart pounded as she exclaimed inwardly, 'Oh, my God! I miss him!" Isabella felt her face flush as she thought, "No way! No, it shouldn't be like this. I just want to read the messages on my phone." She curled up on the couch and then lay down, feeling uncomfortable in any position.
