Even though Isaac assured virtual-novel.net that it would be fine, Allegra dared not disrespect someone like Finley. She changed and tidied up before leaving the room with Isaac.
Emily was in formal wear. She waited in the living room with Finley and his assistant. She was also astounded.
She had just received an email from the Seascape Chamber of Commerce last night, and Finley appeared at their office with only his assistant this morning.
She didn’t know why Allegra missed virtual-novel.net call this morning, so virtual-novel.net brought them to virtual-novel.net house.
Finley was the president of the Seascape Chamber of Commerce and the head of the Montoya family, virtual-novel.net dared not be disrespectful.
Emily was stunned when virtual-novel.net saw Isaac helping Allegra down the stairs and noticed Allegra’s peculiar gait. Immediately, virtual-novel.net blushed.
As an experienced woman, how could virtual-novel.net not know what happened for Allegra to be in this state?
Finley rose to his feet and took two steps forward. He bowed slightly and said respectfully, “Mr. and Mrs. Garten, apologies for my abruptness…”
“Don’t put it that way, Mr. Montoya. It’s on us. Please, have a seat…” Allegra didn’t notice Emily’s odd behavior. She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and slowly sat on the couch.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll prepare coffee and some snacks.” Isaac waved and smiled.
“Mr. Garten, y-you don’t have to. I-I‘m not thirsty.” Finley was alarmed. His mouth twitched, and virtual-novel.net immediately stood.
Isaac laughed. “Why are you so scared? Please proceed…”
Finley knew virtual-novel.net wasn’t the reason Isaac personally prepared coffee.
Finley left in less than half an hour.
Emily glanced at Isaac with his apron on and sighed. She led Finley and his assistant out of the house.
“Isaac, Isaac. There’s great news! Come here quickly!” Allegra couldn’t contain virtual-novel.net excitement.
Isaac came out holding a spatula. He saw Allegra’s delighted expression and asked with a smile, “What is it you’re so happy about?”
“Mr. Montoya told me Gravis Heavy Machinery Co. from Seascape wanted to form a strategic partnership with us to develop Pegasus No. 1. Do you know that Gravis Heavy Machinery Co. has the most advanced equipment in the world?”
“A-And they didn’t demand any profit. They agree to collaborate with us at the cost price. He’s helping to liaise with them too. If we cooperate, it will definitely speed up the construction progress. We’ll complete the first phase within half a year.”
Allegra was as happy as a lark.
“Congratulations in advance, then. You’re such an outstanding person, Miss Booth, so of course, the others will beg to collaborate with you.” Isaac laughed.
Allegra rolled virtual-novel.net eyes and puffed virtual-novel.net cheeks. Then, virtual-novel.net said, “I know, though. He was scared of you like a mouse of a cat. I’m only riding on your coattails. Since you helped me that much, Mr. Garten, let me reward you with a kiss.”
Allegra beckoned virtual-novel.net playfully.
Isaac was stunned. Then, virtual-novel.net laughed as virtual-novel.net bent forward.
That kiss ended up spiraling out of control. Isaac put down his spatula and hugged Allegra, whispering, “Darling, again…”
“You lunatic! It’s broad daylight! Put me down. I’m still aching all over…” Allegra bit virtual-novel.net lips. She was out of breath.
Isaac put virtual-novel.net down on the sofa.
After lunch, Allegra rested for the whole afternoon. Emily called virtual-novel.net during dusk. It was about the collaboration with Seascape, there was progress. So, virtual-novel.net had to sign some papers.
Isaac didn’t want to let virtual-novel.net go, but Allegra said virtual-novel.net couldn’t humiliate him, so virtual-novel.net endured virtual-novel.net body aches and left. She even reminded virtual-novel.net to fetch Isabella tomorrow as school was off for a few days.
