The high-level executives were not the only ones there. Several recognizable figures in the entertainment circle were eagerly waiting to talk to Roland as well.
Showered with lights from every direction, he carried himself with fine dignity like royalty. His young and handsome looks attracted the attention of countless passersby, especially the young and beautiful actresses.
Isabella was one of these young actresses drawn by Decker's looks. She affectionately took his arms into hers and greeted him with a smile.
Decker cast a quick smile at her before continuing his conversation with the others.
Everyone was shocked.
Isabel could hear someone in earshot exclaiming, "Oh my God, when did Isabella start seeing President Rockwell?" “Are you talking about that handsome man Isabella is with? President Rockwell? That name sounds vaguely familiar." "The Rockwells from Southboro."
"My God, so it is him! He’s so young and handsome. How did Isabella pull this off?"
"Heh, this explains how she managed to take the female lead and guest star spots from Isabel back then. Decker was her connection the entire time.”
"In that case, how did Isabel manage to get them back? Does she have someone even more powerful backing her?" "Who knows?"
Isabel turned around to look at the group gossiping about these affairs.
They seemed to have noticed her staring and quickly scuttled away.
She could not be bothered. She took Triss and Ramona with her and chose a seat slightly farther away from Decker.
"Isabel, Decker looks very influential. Do you think Isabella will use his help to make things difficult for you?" Ramona lowered her to a whisper and asked worriedly.
Triss seemed concemed as well. Isabel remarked with a brisk smile, "She already did that last week." Ramona and Triss stiffened for a moment before catching on to her meaning.
Isabel was confirming their suspicions that Isabella had taken advantage of her connection with Decker to seize the female lead and guest star role from her. But so what? It still ended with Isabel reclaiming what was rightfully hers.
This showed that even someone like Decker could not lay his hands on just about anything he wanted. Triss and Ramona wondered if it was Amanda, Isabel’s famous manager who helped her take back the roles. It was either that, or there was someone more powerful helping her behind the scenes.
Isabel assumed she had managed to avoid having to confront Decker, but she bumped into him again as soon as she walked out of the washroom.
He seemed to be waiting for her. He was the only one in the empty corridor, and he leaned gracefully against the wall with a cocky grin.
Isabel saw him the moment she stepped out of the washroom. Her expression stiffened immediately, and she proceeded to walk past him.
“Isabel,” Decker called after her softly.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
For a brief instant, Isabel felt like she was transported to that period more than five years ago now when they were still head over heels in love.
It was only a passing instant, and she was quickly snapped back to the present.
She ignored him and continued walking.
"Isabel, how did you get connected to Carter Corporation?" he asked with a sharp connotation in his voice.
Isabel stopped as this grabbed her attention.
Carter Corporation?
She speculated that Decker must have contacted the showrunners of "Legend of the Goddess" and "The Wonder" after everything that had gone down to find out more details. They must have told him about being contacted by Carter Corporation, initiated by Roland, and how they were told to concede the roles back to her.
This must be how Decker figured out that she had connections to Carter Corporation. She sneered, "Decker, do you think | need anybody's help just to deal with you?" Decker grinned like a fox. He pressed two steps closer toward Isabel, "How did you pull it off then? What, all by yourself?"
It was not hard to see the mockery in his smile.
