Chapter 253: Chapter 265: The Repeated Confessions (2)

At this moment, Isabel Smith was in a state of semi-sleep, feeling someone stroking her forehead gently, full of affection, like it was all a dream.

It felt so comfortable, so beautiful.

Unable to resist the affection, Isabel nuzzled her face into the hand.

Percy Stanton didn’t withdraw his hand immediately. He stayed silent next to her. After a while, he glanced sideways at the trash can, and his gaze locked onto it for a few seconds.

He reached in the trash can with one hand and pulled out a capsule.

There was no mistaking this capsule. It was the pain reliever he had given her to take just now.

She didn’t swallow it but spat it out secretly into the trash can when he wasn’t looking... Now, she was lying peacefully on the bed, already asleep, looking so serene.

If she truly had been in agonizing pain earlier, how was it possible for her to sleep so peacefully now without taking the medicine?

His expression changed suddenly, becoming uncertain.

As Percy stared at the crushed capsule in his hand, he felt a mix of anger and disappointment. His mood was incredibly complex and uncomfortable.

Without realizing it, he began to apply pressure to his hand, causing the capsule to deform and sprinkle white powder all over him.

Despite his persistent and multiple attempts to confess his feelings for her, she kept avoiding him.

He was smart enough to understand the implications of this. Surely he could guess?

She didn’t want to hear his confession, she didn’t care about his feelings for her, and she was afraid of having to reject him should he confess...

The more he thought about it, the more turmoil he felt.

Although he was sitting quietly in a bedroom bathed in beautiful sunset light, he felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless swamp, dark and seeing no daylight.

Was it...still not possible?

Even after six years, when he finally summoned the courage to confess, was it still impossible for them to be together?

But, some love, like a crazed obsession, once it starts, it never stops...

Percy slowly closed his eyes, filled with conflicting emotions, and a faint bitter smile appeared on his handsome face.

Isabel, tell me, what should I do? What should I do with you?

Percy thought this was the most difficult question he had ever faced in his life.

...

Five days later.

Smith Corporation Tower, Business Department A.

Isabel Smith, dressed in a simple and elegant white suit and matching high heels, gracefully exited the Smith Corporation Chairman’s Office.

On the way, she encountered many busy Smith Corporation employees, who all respectfully said hello to Isabel.

Gracefully, Isabel responded with a smile and a nod, then proceeded to her office.

Her office was close to Percy’s office, through the glass, she saw Percy sitting casually at the desk, busy doing something.

She shot him a quick glance, then continued to walk towards her office. She hadn’t taken more than a few steps when she heard Percy call out to her in his deep voice, "Smith."

Isabel paused and turned around. She looked at Percy, her lips curved in a slow smile, she quickly said, "Hold on," then turned back and shouted at the secretary’s office not far away, "Secretary Emille, can you come over?"

Then, she turned her attention back to Percy, and asked, "What’s up?" as if nothing were out of ordinary.

Secretary Emille quickly arrived at Isabel’s side. Before Percy could answer Isabel’s question, she politely said, "CEO Smith, Vice President Campbell."

After that, Secretary Emille looked at Isabel and asked, "CEO Smith, did you need something?"

Isabel Smith ignored Secretary Emille’s question and just looked at Percy, corners of her mouth lifted in a calm and serene smile, "Percy, do you need something from me?"
