1. Kara and Isabela Argue

“It was still on this morning. But why it’s off now?” Kara muttered.

Isabela smiled crookedly. ‘You poor thing! Who would use an old phone with a thousand cracks like that?”

After wiggling an eyebrow, Isabela sauntered in. Her hips deliberately pushed Kara’s elbow so that the phone slipped from her grasp. As it hit the floor, Kara could only gape. Meanwhile, Isabela held back her laughter.

“You shouldn’t get in my way. I’m in a hurry. My Hubby misses the coffee I made.”

Kara didn’t budge looking at that shameless face. Only after her eyes

flashed did she let out a sigh of disbelief.

“Don’t you owe me an apology, Miss? You dropped my phone.”

Isabela shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t mean to. Why are you accusing me? Besides, the phone was already broken. Why are you making a big deal out of it? It should be thrown in the trash. Buy a

new one.”

“Even though it’s broken, you don’t have the right to drop it,” Kara said firmly.

Hearing that high and bold tone, Isabela put her hands on her hips. Her brows furrowed in displeasure. “You’re against me because of that old thing? Is your life that sad? You don’t have enough money to buy a new one, hmm?”

Kara shook her head in disbelief. “You have no right to comment on other people’s lives, let alone control them.”

“I’m not controlling, but opening your eyes. You’re a secretary in a big

Frank doesn’t pay you well if you keep using that old junk.”

Kara clenched her fists to hold back her anger. Isabela was right. The phone was indeed out of date. However, as long as it still worked,

Kara didn’t mind. Most importantly, she could collect photos of the twins and communicate with them.

“Or,” Isabela’s voice echoed again, “should I give you one of my phones? I have five. You can take the cheapest one. It’s probably worth ten months’ your salary.”

Kara sighed tiredly. There was no point in talking to Isabela. Shaking her head faintly, she bent down, about to take her phone.

Unexpectedly, Isabela kicked it! That fragile gadget rolled out the door. Kara was at a loss for words. She now understood why the CEO rejected the arranged marriage. Isabela had the heart of a devil!
