Chapter 152

152 Treat Me to Dinner

“I only have a little female fox here.”

As Joseph spoke, he touched Isabella’s butt with his hand and mocked, “I was about to do something exciting, but you scared her and now she’s trembling in my arms.”

Director Lee immediately understood what Joseph meant.

Director Lee was a man who had seen all sorts of people. He definitely knew he’d better not provoke Joseph. Thus, he bowed and said, “Sorry to bother you. I’m taking my leave.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Isabella once again and turned away.

“Thank god.”

Isabella poked out her head and breathed a sigh of relief. Noticing Joseph’s action, She immediately moved his hand away from her butt and said angrily, “How can you take advantage of me?”

Joseph pointed at his chest and said, “Did I do it first?”

“Alright. Thank you, Mr. Joseph.”

.....

“That’s it? Do you think I’m easy to deal with? Do you know how many women want to jump into my arms?”

” ... What do you want? What happened just now was too sudden. I did it to save my life, not on purpose ... Besides ...”

Before Isabella could finish speaking, Joseph pulled her into her arms and gave her a long French kiss.

Gerry and the bodyguards immediately turned around awkwardly.

“Stop ...”

Isabella struggled to free herself from Joseph’s arms. Seeing the bodyguards with their backs facing her, Isabella instantly blushed. “Joseph, you’re going too far! How can you act like a hooligan ?!”

“Well, that’s what I like.” Joseph calmly fixed his tie, “What can you do to me?”

“...”

...

Although Isabella was so angry that she wanted to leave, Joseph didn’t let her go.

He was a man who always got everything he wanted.

He never failed in realizing his wishes.

Moreover, he could play tough when sweet words didn’t work. The next minute he took Isabella to the lounge.

“What are you doing at our school?”

Isabella sat on Joseph’s lap. She was feeding fruit into his mouth while watching him write something on the paper.

Joseph was very attractive when he focused on working.

His handwriting was beautiful, and his expression of concentration was also good-looking. He looked mature and calm with the documents in his hand.

Joseph took notes with a red pen, as if he was a teacher who corrected homework. Sometimes, Isabella would crane her neck and look at the documents with him carefully.

Occasionally, Isabella would ask him a question, and Joseph would give a simple answer.

After a few days, Isabella thought that she could understand something esoteric in the field.

All in all, although it seemed ridiculous that a man worked with a woman sitting on his lap, Isabella thought that they were actually very serious about what they were doing. One was seriously feeding, and the other was seriously working.

Therefore, Isabella gradually took this kind of behavior as cooperation, instead of flirtation.

Isabella had been assimilated by Joseph in thoughts and habits ...

“My grandfather is very traditional. He loves his country and its culture, so he builds up a few schools or libraries for free every year.”

Joseph said casually, “Because of you, he donated to Richmond Arts University this time.”

“Because of me?” Isabella was shocked.

“Yes. He built up a library, a building for dancing, and a technology building.”

Isabella’s eyes dilated with shock. “How much does that cost?!”

“Not much, like tens of millions. That technology building is a bit more expensive, and the other two buildings don’t cost that much.”

Isabella was speechless.

Grandpa spent tens of millions donating a few buildings for her.

However, that was because her grandpa loved her very much and believed that she was Lady Isabella of the Smith family and would be his granddaughter-in-law in the future.

What if one day he knew that she was a liar who deceived him from start without feeling guilty, and that she was a foster daughter that nobody liked at all? How would he feel like?

He would be disappointed, angry, and unable to accept ...

Joseph noticed that Isabella stopped feeding him, so he craned his neck to eat the fruit on Isabella’s hand. He even deliberately rubbed her lips against her fingers and said, “What’s wrong?”

Isabella finally came to herself.

“Nothing. I just think ...”

Isabella paused and changed her mind, “I just think that your family has a lot of money, as if you will never run out of money.”

“Yes.”

Joseph was quite frank, “We indeed have a lot.”

“Can you give me some?” Isabella grinned.

“Alright.” Joseph also smiled brightly, “Butt’s up and let me in.”

“...”

Sure enough, she asked for trouble by joking with a hooligan.

Isabella stood up, “Are you here to sign the contract of donation? Isn’t it easy to deal with? Why are you still be here?”

“Busy people like me can only spare my lunch breaks to deal with such small matters, so leaders of your school begged me to have a meal with them by the way.”

“Begged ...”

Isabella looked at Joseph’s arrogant expression and couldn’t help asking, “Then why did you call me to feed you?”

“Well, I just don’t want to eat with that group of boring people. I think that eating with you will be more interesting.”

If it weren’t for seeing Isabella, Joseph would have asked his assistant to deal with that. How could he personally come by?

Seeing that Joseph didn’t feel ashamed at all, Isabella sighed, “What are we going to eat for lunch? It’s already 12:30.”

“I thought you would treat me.”

Joseph glanced at Isabella, “I’m coming for you. Aren’t you going to treat me to lunch?”

“My treat?”

Isabella hurriedly shook her head, “That’s impossible. Your lunch would cost my living expenses for a year. I can’t afford to treat you, even if you sell me.”

“No need. I’ll eat whatever you eat every day.”

Joseph said proudly, “Occasionally, it would be a good opportunity to experience the suffering of a fox.”

Isabella thought for a moment. She had been staying in the Wilsons’ for half a month without paying a penny. It was time to pay Joseph back, so she nodded, “Alright. You stay here and I’ll buy food for you.”

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Their conversation was interrupted and both of them looked in the direction of the door at the same time.

“Mr. Joseph, Mr. Richard and his daughter want to see you. They haven’t made an appointment in advance.”

Gerry came in and reported to Joseph.

Isabella widened her eyes and whispered, “Oh no! Doris Miller and her father! They know me!”

“So what?”

Joseph looked at Isabella mischievously. He loved to see her panicked expression. “You have one nose and two eyes, nothing different from others. Why are you afraid of being seen?”

“No way! They will think that I’m a fortune hunter, and if they tell others, I won’t be able to show my face!”

Isabella looked around and had a brainwave. She immediately hid under Joseph’s desk and hurriedly put one finger on her lips to indicate Joseph that he should keep silent.

Joseph smiled and deliberately kicked Isabella with her toes. Then he said seriously, “Let them in.”

Isabella glared at him angrily.

“Mr. Joseph, it is a great honor for all the teachers and students of Richmond Arts University to have you donated buildings to our school. Therefore, the president specially sent me here to invite you to the banquet at noon!”

Mr. Richard said ardently, “Mr. Joseph, please do me the honor!”
