Tabards eyes narrowed with a chilling, dangerous glimmer. Just as she was preparing to fight back, her wrist was vuddenly seized The touch

In moments of danger, Xander would always appear from nowhere, grabbing her and pulling her close.

Is it home?

Before label could even process the thought, the force of the man's grip yanked her toward him.

it's not him?

When they came face to face, the panic that had clouded! Isabel's expression instantly faded, replaced by an emotionles, frosty stare.

They a voice filled her ear, one that instantly set her on edge.

"Mr. Kemp, you've got the wrong person. She's my frien

Kaleb

It's him!

Isabel's teeth clenched, and she tried with all her might to yank her hand from his hold.

Kaleb looked at her, brow furrowed "Stop making a scene."

"Ha Isabel scoffed. "Who do you think you are, telling me to stop making a scene? This man was the one causing trouble in the first place. Don't you have eyes?" Kalebis face darkened.

Ignoring him, Isabel continued, I remember about a year ago, a man tried hitting on me. You were ready to step in, but when you found out he was some big shot, not only did you not help me, but you actually teamed up with him. I was your fiancée then, and yet for your own gain, you did something like that. Kaleb, you're the worst kind of scum! Eva stealing you from me was the best thing that ever happened"

With every word, Kaleb's anger grew, his expression darkening. "I didn't upload those photos."

Kaleb assumed Isabel was referring to the viral photos on Twitter from yesterday.

"You didn't upload them? Then who did? The person who blackmailed you with those photos-didn't you pay them off to keep quiet? That means you were the one with them, Isabel shot back, her frustration bubbling over. She'd already figured Kaleb wasn't behind the photos. In fact, her suspicions had led to a confrontation

Kalet was expally stunned. He never imagined she would slap him, especially not in from of so many pergie

He had never felt soch a deep insult

Fuming with rage, Kaleb's anger boiled over. Nearby, oor of the other bosses stood up to intervene.

"Ms. Zimmerman. I understand you have your issues with Mr. Johnson but these things are best handled privately. You should show him some respect in public We pretend we didn't see anything and peer two should step outside and sort this out" The other men, now piecing things together, realized that lubel had once been engaged to Kaleb

"Hah, how funny. Who do you think you are, trying to tell me what to do? I don't owe Kaleb anything anymore. I'm not his wife, so why should I give him any respect?" label shot back, glaring at both the man and Kaleb

Kaleb stood there, stunned, struggling to find words.

He realized something Back when they were engaged, he could easily boss Isabel around scolding her whenever she made a mistake.

But now that they were no longer together, he had no right to control her.

"Birds of a father, huh? You're jour a bunch of roten igen, Isabel sneered, glancing around the room with contempe before she turned and marched out the door

If she hadn't been so drunk, she might have enjoyed boating both Kaleb and the man who had flirted with

Ahem. One of the bosses cleared his throat, glancing at the furning Kaleb. "Mr. Johnson, don't take it too hard. You're young and inexperienced. Women are like that. My wife's the same way. She often makes things hard for me in public, and now Fm too embarrassed to even take her anywhere."

Other bosses chimed in with their own observations.

"Yeah, my wife's even worse than Ms. Zimmerman."

Think Ms. Zimmerman's just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She probably still cares about you. The more she loves you, the harder she hits you. She probably drank too much, which is why she got saggressive. You should go after her. She's beautiful, and if someone with bad intentions finds her, she could be in danger.

Listening to this, Kaleb stopped caring about the slap.

"Sorry, everyone. Please excuse me. I'll be back shortly

"Go ahead, no problem. If you don't come back, it's fine, they said, encouraging him.

The bosses were thinking, since Isabel had gotten drunk and Kaleb was going after her, the two would find themselves tangled up in the bedroom in no time.

"Exactly! It's okay if you don't come back. Women, you know, need to be controlled by a man's strength. Once you've got them under your thumb, they'll follow your lead without a word."

"Haha-true wisdom, true wisdom! Mr. Johnson, maybe you should try it yourself," they laughed.

Kaleb felt a mix of temptation and discomfort at their comments, but his mind quickly shifted to Eva. He knew he couldn't cheat on her. If he did, he'd be no better than the kind of man Isabel had called him-the one who took advantage of women. Regardless of everything, Isabel was clearly too drunk, and Kaleb's main concern was making sure she was okay. He had to check on her.

"I'll be right back," he said.

Without wasting any time, he opened the door and hurried in the direction Isabel had gone.

After only a few steps, he spotted her, one hand resting on the wall, the other tugging at her shirt collar. Her voice sounded strained as she whispered, "It's so hot..."
