Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 756

Chapter 756

As the two chatted for nearly an hour, Isabella took numerous photos of them from a table nearby. These pictures will definitely be useful one day. Maybe I can even use them as proof that she's cheating. To accuse her of having an affair now is a bit of a stretch, of course, but the world will never stay the same. They might just be friends, but with a little twist of the story and the passing of some rumors, it won't be that hard to spin a lie into a truth one day.

“It was nice talking to you today, Gary.” Amelia grinned. “I'll call Tiff and get us all to meet up again someday. Now that we're all caught up with our own lives, it's not easy for everyone to reunite.”

Gary nodded. “Is Tiffany married?”

“Yup. She's married to Derrick Hisson, the head of Hisson Group. You've probably heard of him since you're part of that circle.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gary thought about it for a moment and found the name familiar.

“She's a lucky one. It must've been hard for someone of her background to marry into a family like the Hissons. That's what prominent families tend to be like. They don't care how much money you make every year. All that matters to them is your family background.” Gary chuckled.

“Exactly!” Amelia nodded. “It's only natural that the Hissons don't spare a single glance at people like us. Tiff and Derrick had to go through so much just to be together. Now, they're trying their best to have kids.”

“It's that time, I suppose. They're both over thirty, so the risks that come with pregnancy only get higher as they get older.”

“Enough about Tiff. You should start thinking about your future too, or you'll be old by the time your kid is born! It's pretty nice to have a mature companion by your side, you know?”

The man merely drank his coffee and said nothing much.

Then, they got up to leave after hanging around for another ten minutes.

Gary watched as Amelia hopped into her car and stuck her head out the open window. “I'll see you next time, Gary.”

“Sure. See you.”

After the woman left, Gary returned to his own car and drove off.

Isabella, who had been keeping a close eye on them the whole time, hastily followed Gary in her own vehicle all the way to a security firm. The man then parked in front of the building and entered it.

Seeing that, Isabella walked in and nodded at him politely upon taking the same elevator he took.

From her stunning looks and the clothes she wore, Gary knew she was no commoner.

“Are you here to find yourself a bodyguard, miss?” he asked.

“I've been thinking of doing that,” Isabella replied with a smile. “A friend told me that this is the best security firm in Tayhaven, so I thought I'd drop by to take a look since I keep feeling as though I'm being followed lately. Would you happen to have any candidates you can recommend to me?”

Hearing that, Gary took out his name card and handed it to her. “This is my card. I run a security firm from the ninth to the fourteenth floor of this building. Business has been booming, so we've been hiring more people too. We just started renting the fourteenth floor about a year ago. We have a large number of professional bodyguards for hire as well as security wardens for residential neighborhoods— all at different prices. If you're interested, I can show you around.”

Isabella gazed at the name card. “I'm beyond impressed, Mr. Laird. Judging from your physique, I thought you were a trainer, but it turns out you're the owner of this security firm! Well, then, I'm in your care.”

With a nod, the man led her to his company.

Perhaps in a great mood after having met Amelia once again, he gave Isabella a tour of the workplace —something he rarely did.

All the staff members watched as their boss strolled around with a gorgeous woman. They couldn't help wondering if she was his girlfriend.

The last time he had done this was three years ago when he brought Amelia and Tiffany over as guests. Anyone else who sought to hire bodyguards would be attended to by the manager instead. Moreover, given how much the company had grown in the past three years, such an impromptu tour was virtually impossible now.

It wasn't long until Gary walked over with Isabella and summoned the manager.

“Mr. Sanchez, this is Ms. Walker. She's looking for a few bodyguards, so could you give her some recommendations? I have some matters to take care of.”

With a nod, the manager took over the duties.

Isabella lost interest the moment Gary left. Fortunately, her phone just so happened to ring, so she took the call.

“Hello? What? Someone has stolen our proposals? Okay, I'll be right there. See you soon,” she exclaimed before turning around. “I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Sanchez. Something just came up at work, so I don't think I have the time to choose my bodyguards today. Your boss gave me his card, though, so I'll talk to him when I can.”

“Of course, Ms. Walker. Have a good day,” the manager responded while walking her to the door.

Isabella nodded.

Right after she left, a large group of burly men rushed over. “Who was that chick, Mr. Sanchez? She came over with Mr. Laird! Is she his girlfriend?”

The manager merely shot them a glance. “Stop all this pointless gossip. Get back to work.”

“But Mr. Sanchez!”

Yet, the man walked straight into his own office, leaving the bodyguards to their own imagination.

Upon heading back downstairs and returning to her own car, Isabella took a picture of Gary's name card and sent it to someone. Then, she called said person. “Hey, Tobey. Could you look into this guy? I want all details about him, especially his friendships from three years ago. Can you do that? Send it to my inbox when you're done, and I'll transfer the money to your bank account tonight. Bye.”

Then, she tossed her phone onto the passenger seat and headed back to the company.

After busying herself with work for the rest of the day until six in the evening, she found an e-mail from Tobey containing all of Gary's information. There was nothing particularly interesting about the latter's family background, but her eyes lit up as she read the details of his friendships.

Expectedly, Gary had already known Amelia three years ago. The latter had once dropped by his security firm to get herself a female bodyguard but was hit by a car toward the end of her pregnancy. When Amelia and her son both survived after a long struggle, Gary then brought that female bodyguard to the hospital to apologize. The two rarely contacted each other after Amelia left the hospital with Tony.

The most notable detail, however, was the fact that Gary had hired some men to search for Amelia after she divorced Oscar and quietly left the city with her child. Furthermore, the search had gone on for half a year, so there was no way he regarded her as just a friend.

A smirk crept across Isabella's lips. “You sure are popular, huh, Amelia? It's been nearly three years, and he still can't get over you. Could something has happened between you two in the dark?”

Isabella grew increasingly excited at the thought of that.

Even if nothing has ever happened between them, I bet I can pull something up to get them both into

trouble—as long as I play my cards well with Gary.

She could already envision Oscar climbing onto her bed after being let down by Amelia.

At the thought of that, she began to laugh like a complete maniac, causing all the other staff members working overtime to jump in fright and glance at each other. Is something wrong with Ms. Walker?

A petite, adorable-looking lady suggested, “Should we knock on her door and check on her? She's not possessed, is she?”

“You can do that if you're prepared to die. Ms. Walker has always had a pretty unstable temperament, so I'd say it's best you don't bother her while she's actually happy, or you might just never make it back home,” a male coworker advised.

Hearing that, the young woman shrunk back immediately, not daring to risk her life.

The laughter quickly dissipated, and Isabella walked out of her office as though nothing had happened. “I think we can all wrap up for today,” she exclaimed in high spirits. “Take care of yourselves, now. Don't stay up too late.”

Everyone returned to their senses only after she had left.

“I think she really is possessed.”

“She's not just possessed. She has become a completely different person.”

“No, I'd say she probably took the wrong pills today.”

“Maybe she's dating someone?” a woman suddenly asked, causing all the staff members to turn to her.

“How did you know?”

“I'm just guessing.”

“Buzz off.”

They could never imagine Isabella dating someone, for they all knew how much she adored Oscar. It was not often they came across someone who could keep going after a married man as shamelessly as she did.
