Chapter 276: Chapter 288: The Repeated Confessions (25)

Isabel Smith stood in front of the glass door, opened her mouth to speak, hesitated for a while, and then pushed open the door and went out.

CEO Wood and Charlotte Green had already finished their competition, and the two were now chatting outside the fence of the Horse Field. CEO Wood waved at Isabel Smith from a distance, holding his helmet in his hand.

Isabel Smith pinched her palm hard, trying to clear her head and regain her composure before approaching with a shallow smile.

Upon seeing Isabel Smith, CEO Wood immediately asked her several polite questions about where she had been and why she had taken so long. Charlotte Green stood aside, maintaining a smile, but her dislike for Isabel Smith grew stronger when CEO Wood ignored her.

CEO Wood was oblivious to Charlotte Green’s feelings, and Isabel Smith pretended not to notice them either. The three seemingly peacefully chatted outside the fence for a while before CEO Wood suggested they go for another horseback ride.

Isabel Smith and Charlotte Green had no objections. They received their helmets from a stableman who passed them the headgear via his mobile phone, put them on, and led the chosen horses into the Horse Field.

Since this was not a competition, they rode in a more relaxed manner, at slower speeds, and chatted while walking their horses around the field.

CEO Wood continued to engage Isabel Smith in conversation, showing great interest in their upcoming cooperation. She responded conservatively to his questions, not too warm or cold. Charlotte Green, annoyed by this, increasingly tried her best to stick to CEO Wood and initiate conversation.

Men, it seemed, tended to overlook the subtleties of women’s minds: every time Charlotte Green tried to talk to CEO Wood, he would casually reply before immediately turning back to continue the conversation with Isabel Smith.

Charlotte Green became increasingly frustrated as CEO Wood repeatedly dismissed her, and eventually decided to call Elijah Smith, who happened to be riding alone nearby, with her mobile phone.

Elijah Smith quickly answered Charlotte Green’s call, rode over, and with a swift swivel, joined her side. He asked, "Charlotte, what’s up?"

"I thought you might be bored riding alone, so I invited you to join us for a chat." Charlotte Green smiled at Elijah Smith while grasping her horse’s reins.

Elijah Smith forced a smile and began chatting and laughing with Charlotte Green.

The two had been very close for several years, with very relaxed language and tone. With Charlotte Green deliberately speaking to make Isabel Smith see, the conversation inevitably became more intimate.

Isabel Smith watched Charlotte Green and Elijah Smith’s interaction from the side, her heart sinking a little.

She knew Charlotte Green was upset because CEO Wood kept talking to her, Charlotte Green resenting the attention and now deliberately flaunting her close relationship with Elijah to provoke her!

While Isabel Smith felt Charlotte Green’s pettiness, she showed no change in demeanor, continuing to chat calmly with CEO Wood.

Charlotte Green’s intention was to make Isabel Smith jealous and unable to bear her envy and hate to the point of leaving on some pretext. However, Charlotte Green’s ploy had no effect on Isabel Smith, who seemed unbothered. In the end, it became meaningless, with CEO Wood talking even more freely with Isabel Smith.

Charlotte Green’s beautiful, radiant smile as she watched Isabel Smith chat with CEO Wood appeared to be a facade, feeling her stare as a sting in her eyes. She clenched her reins tight, glaring at Isabel Smith. After a while, her eyes flickered, then suddenly, she turned, playfully joked with Elijah Smith, and raised her hand to give him a push.
