Chapter 162 - Maurice's Secret
Tension hung in the air, as Clara’s face was masked with fury and fear. Her heart thumping fast as no words could explain how she felt, a part of her wanted to speak and the other was holding her from saying the truth.How would Louisa feel when she finds out that her best friend was having an affair with her fiancé? “Someone should talk to me.” Louisa roared, her eyes cold as steel flickering from Clara to drunk Maurice.Hush silence fell over the room as both her friends were all silent. Asher could only stare at them with a smug smile. This was all Maurice’s fault; if he had never invited Asher, his secret would have been kept hidden, and he wouldn’t have been humiliated.Slap! Slap!Gasps rippled through the room as Louisa unleashed a thunderous slap at Maurice, jerking his face to the side. Maurice’s face turned darkened, for a moment it was as if the drink cleared from his eyes. His jaw tightened. “How dare you!” He spat, “You want to know the truth?” He continued, gripping
Chapter 161 - Can't Afford The Bill
Asher was more concerned about Maurice’s ability to handle the bill and the toll the alcohol might take on his health. As for himself, he could easily use his energy to neutralise the alcohol before it reached his brain or liver.But could Maurice do the same? Seeing how Maurice was serious about it, Asher stared at Isabella for a moment, then shifted his gaze back to Maurice.“I am not good at drinking but I will accept it.” He replied flatly.“I don’t believe it when men say they don’t drink. If you can’t do that, you should speak now. I don’t want to be held responsible if something bad happens to you.” He smiled, turning to Isabella, “Would you mind drinking for your boyfriend? If you fail, you can both split the bills.”Maurice’s face was filled with mockery, the same for his friends.“Maurice, I will drink. if I win, you and Louisa will have to split the bills.” Louisa who had been focused on her drink, spoke out. “My baby can’t lose to you, if you want I can take his place.”
Chapter 160 - Let's Drink
Isabella frowned, then looked at Asher. She knew coming was a bad idea, but Asher wouldn’t listen to her. Asher knew that no matter how he tried to explain to them that he could afford the car, they wouldn’t believe him; they were all blinded by Maurice’s words. “We didn’t come with a cab, I got the car for Isabella.” Everyone was speechless, He got a Bugatti Chiron for Isabella. That’s impossible! “Did he rent it for Isabella? Did he buy it for her? Is he a millionaire who is disguising himself as poor?” Maurice thought inwardly. Louisa mocked, “Isabella, you shouldn’t have allowed your boyfriend to rent a car. What if something happened to the car? Do you think it will be easy to fix the damage? I guess you have no idea because you can’t afford it.” “What a pity! Vanity upon vanity! All this is just a way of showing off when they know they can’t meet up.” Isabella was bubbling in rage, and she felt a warm arm squeeze her hand under the desk. “My girlfriend deserves the bes
Chapter 159 - Do You Drive An Expensive Car
Isabella leaned in. “Asher,” she whispered, “did you tell Maurice you didn’t like the wine? Did you want something else?”He nodded, knowing this was part of Maurice’s plan and he was going to play his game with him.“Can he even afford a meal here? Does he think this is some local restaurant where you can walk in and order some cheap stuff?” Clare said her voice was laced with irritation and venom.Isabella glanced back at Maurice, who was now watching them, a flicker of something dark and calculating flashing in his eyes before he looked away.Seeing Asher remain silent, Maurice’s friends seized the moment to chuckle among themselves, their laughter low but laced with mockery. To them, his silence was weakness. They exchanged smug glances, already writing him off as a man who couldn’t afford the wine, just another pretender playing in a world too expensive for him.Asher noticed. Every smirk. Every raised brow. Every whisper.But instead of reacting, he simply smiled a slow, calm sm
Chapter 158 - Unexpected Booking
Isabella frowned irritably. She knew Maurice would want to make them feel bad, but there was nothing she could do. “That's good, what are we waiting for? Let's go!” Asher said.Louisa scoffed, “Are you that shameless? Why are you in a hurry? You should be grateful that you got invited by Maurice, if not, what other opportunity would you have gotten to step foot into this hotel?”“You don't dare raise your voice at him.” Isabella countered her voice burning with rage.“Oh, the truth they say is always bitter.” Maurice stepped forward. “ But it hasn't gotten to that, the night is still long and we have many things to do. Let's go, we can't keep our guests waiting.”Louisa rolled her eyes in disgust at Asher and Isabella as they walked towards the elevator.“Honey, I don't want to be in the same elevator with them, their presence irritates me,” Louisa said.Hearing that, Maurice smiled; this was a way to embarrass Asher before his friends. Asher didn't wait for him; he grabbed Isabella
Chapter 157 - Accepting The Engagement Party
Maurice couldn’t help but let out a mocking smirk. He was ready to embarrass Asher and Isabella; he couldn’t wait for the next day. He wanted to show off his sudden wealth after being promoted to manager. Maurice now earned thousands of dollars, and he felt it was time to show Isabella that she was wrong to have rejected him.“Alright then, I will be waiting for you.” He smiled, grabbing Louisa’s hand as they walked away. Isabella heaved a deep sigh when she noticed they had left, but deeply she wasn’t happy. Her face turned crimson.“Why did you agree to that? You shouldn’t have allowed him to push you into agreeing to his plans.” She said with a hint of anger and displeasure in her voice.Asher shook his head and smiled, “You heard what he said, he is inviting us to his engagement party, and as his friends, we should attend. I am also trying to make him see that you didn’t regret rejecting him.”Isabella looked at him, she knew what he meant. She didn’t regret her decision back t
