The sound of the heels clicking on the floor echoed in the air as Isabella made her way out of the corridor hurriedly, with Elena trailing behind her. Her heart was still pounding madly as the encounter with Nicholas left her shaken and made her mind a mess yet again.
As she stepped into the elevator, her mind vividly recalled each moment with Nicholas. Despite the intense tension in the room and Nicholas's heated gaze at her, she tried to keep composed and kept her emotions in check.
Even though his gaze made her dizzy and her heart act weirdly, she didn't let it show. When the meeting ended smoothly and everything went well, she was content and relieved.
She thought she would be able to leave without any problems and was glad about it, but the moment he called her, she regretted her thoughts right away. She tried to handle the situation calmly and coldly, but she failed.
