"Oh my days! Isn't that the Lady Phoenix?!" One of the clientele exclaimed. "I'd be damned. What is the goddess doing here?" Another wondered. "Seeing her in person just goes to prove how cruel the camera is. It doesn't even do half a justice to her looks!""Who is that man with her?""The fact that they are holding hands could only mean one thing.""Quickly take a photo!""The untouchable Lady Phoenix has finally found a man. What a hot patootie!"Bethany could hear half of everything that was being said by the clientele. But she wasn't really bothered by it. She seemed concerned about something else. She took a glance at Irwin whose face was as stern as a steel. She furrowed her brows and sneered, mouthing some words that were only audible to her. Earlier, when she had told Irwin in a fit of rage, that they were going to Edgar's to meet Isabella, she had expected him to react in a way. The reason she made the decision was to take a revenge on him for deciding not to answer her q

Fuming with rage on her way out of Edgar's, Isabella bumped into someone. This sudden incident erupted a trauma and she instantly lunged at the person who had bumped into her. For a split second in time, she imagined that the person who had bumped into her was Thorne Douglas. And for this reason, everything that had happened to her was all his fault. "You crazy bastard! How dare you bump into me! You'll die by my hands." Isabella lost her bearing, strangling the person. "Isabella! Cut it out! It's not Thorne Douglas." Jessica was quick to understand what was happening with her boss. This wouldn't be the first time that this would happen with Isabella. At fist, Jessica had freaked out but ever since then, she had made sure to avoid any situation that could bring back the trauma. In fact to this effect, she had always made sure to be the person to lead the way whenever they were going out. If not because of Bethany and Irwin that had pissed Isabella off, just as Jessica had led the

Bethany was too enthralled to say a word. Just when she thought she knows a couple of things about Irwin Buckham, there she was looking clueless again. Who could have ever imagined that the great and influential El Roi would be somehow connected to the Supreme Commander? In what world does that this kind of link happens? Bethany kept her gaze on him longer than she anticipated. She had already established and agreed that he was out of her league. Every passing moment made her realize how farther off in league to her he was. Another thing that baffled her the most was the fact that all the people that Irwin was connected to were none other than elderly folks. He was barely thirty years of age. How come he was connected to only old folks? "Oh." Even when Bethany finally spoke, that was the only word she could think of saying. Irwin's phone buzzed and he took a second out to check it out. When he checked, his eyes squinted for a moment, but soon enough his facial expression returned

"Isabella." Jessica could discern the scream even though she wasn't in the restaurant yet. She quickened her pace, making a run for it and she barged into the restaurant, not caring that someone might be in her way, risking the mistake of bumping into another person. When she got in, she saw Isabella sprawled on the floor like someone who was dead. Her eyes widened and she rushed to her. "Isabella!!!" She almost lost her voice as she scampered in the direction, falling on her knees. She felt a pain shot throughout her body, hitting a frequency in her brain. She wanted to groan and attend to her knee that was already hurt, but she seemed too concerned for her boss. "Isabella, wake up. What happened to you?" She placed her hand under Isabella's head, heaving half her body from the floor and supporting the weight with her thighs. "Isabella. Look at me. What is the matter? Why are you on the floor?" Jessica was now at the verge of the tears. Aside from what was happening to Isabel

Bethany Colwill stood there watching as the car drifted away. The silent tears suddenly gained sound and she gripped her chest, bawling her eyes out. If she was asked why she was crying, she didn't think she would be able to answer correctly. Her emotions were all over the place. The most striking part was the untimed departure of the Supreme Commander. Images started shifting in her mind. How protective of her he had been since these past few days, how he had risked his life to save hers countless times, the mushy moments and a lot more. She wished there was something she could do to rewind time. There were a couple of things that she wanted to enjoy at least once more. Especially the kiss they had shared. In her tears, a soft smile paced the corner of her face; a ray of light in the midst of this thick gloom that had clouded her happiness. "Young mistress? Is that you?" A sudden voice called behind her. Bethany Colwill quickly rubbed the back of her hand over her face to get t
