The Unexpected Discovery Of Love

A week later, both Chamberlain and Lena returned to State B, their new home . She was also going to work at the company for the time being .

Since it was just a cover for the main business the Stans were running in State B, they decided to acquire a few companies then merge them .

A little more money wouldn"t hurt .

Just like he said, when he returned, he a.s.signed a team to Carl and an office with more privacy for his team .

The transition from a small firm to a Public Company went smoothly . For a whole month, the employees were tasked and forced to work overtime . The whole process from acquisition, merging and going public was carried out within one month .

They were pressed for time and Carl was not sure what they were up to and why they had to rush the process .

The employees were reshuffled . Some sacked to make way for more capable people while others were retained .

Carl was appointed as the C . F . O of the company, a position he did not want . Still he was thankful for the team given to him, the more capable people he had, the faster he would be done with his job .

How he missed his leisure days with Kim!

Chamberlain remained the C . E . O of the company and Lena the C . O . O .

…

On a rainy Friday evening, Carl was lazing around the house when the door opened . To his surprise, Kim was back… along with a friend .

He rushed towards her, taking away her bag . "You didn"t tell me you were coming . "

Seeing her wet, he grew worried, "You were under the rain? What if you catch a cold . Why didn"t you call? I would have picked you up . "

Isabella was also standing by the door but she was totally ignored by Carl . She understood because her brother would do the same thing .

Still, she felt awkward .

Kim tapped his shoulder in a comforting way, "Don"t be a worrywart, it"s just a little rain . And we were dropped off, just that there was no umbrella so we ran from the car to the door . Besides, I didn"t think you"d be home this early . "

Then she turned to Isabella, "Let"s go in, don"t mind him . "

Isabella looked at Carl with eager eyes, "Hi… we meet again . "

Carl nodded politely .

After shutting the door, he carried Kim"s bag and left Isabella to her device .

"You should go take a warm bath, I"ll heat up dinner . "

Obviously he was talking to just Kim, acting like he couldn"t see Isabella .

Bella did not mind . What mattered was that she was close to her crush .

After Kim told her she was returning home for the weekend, she insisted on tagging along just so she could see Carl .

She had long forgotten her brother"s warning .

"Their father wouldn"t approve? He loved someone else?" What were those? Moreover, she just wanted to see him . There was no harm in that .

"Thanks, we"ll be down shortly . " Kim pulled Isabella away .

Carl made his way to the kitchen, he opened the fridge then he brought out one Tupperware after another .

Afterwards, he heated up some food then set the table . At the same time, Isabella arrived .

In order to spend time alone with Carl, she simply changed into new clothes .

Who had time for a bath when you could get closer to your crush?

"How can I help?" She politely asked .

Isabella was someone who was pretty outgoing . She spoke to many people but had few friends .

She knew how to make conversations with people generally . May be because she was used to attending different social gatherings with her family, she got along with people easily .

Whereas, both Carl and Kim were a sharp contrast . He had no friend, spent his time indoors and did not bother to socialize . As for Kim, she was actually pretty talkative but was scared of offending people or attracting fake friends . So she mostly kept to herself .

"You"re a guest, you just have to sit . "

Isabella spoke calmly, her voice silvery unlike her usual high-pitched tone . "That"s not nice, I can"t freeload off of you and not do anything to show my grat.i.tude . "

Though she appeared calm, inside she was squealing . She was having a conversation with him! How great was that?!

Her day couldn"t get any better!

"I"m almost done setting the table and I already heat up the food . " The unsuspecting Carl, casually remarked .

He was not a fan of the Stan"s but he couldn"t treat Isabella poorly, she hadn"t done anything wrong to him . So he chose to ignore her if he could .

"Then, I"ll get water and gla.s.ses . " Of course it wasn"t a question or suggestion but an affirmative statement as she had already opened the refrigerator to collect water .

No matter how excited she actually was, she acted respectfully and calmly . She did not want to leave a bad impression .

If only she knew her family name was the bad impression .

She placed the three bottles of water on the table before reaching for the cups .

The atmosphere was harmonious she couldn"t help but fantasize about their married life .

"How awesome," she thought .

It took everything in her not to do a happy dance .
