Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife

Chapter 1996

Isabel's itinerary for the day was filled out.

After shooting a scene before noon, she rushed to the studio for an appearance on a variety show. It was midnight by the time she got home.

Her stomach was growling.

Just as the car was about to pull into her apartment complex, she called after the driver, "Stop."

The driver stopped the car.

Carla stifled a yawn and asked, "Isabel, what’s wrong?" "I’m going to get something to eat, do you want anything?" Isabel asked.

Carla suddenly appeared conflicted for a moment, she stammered after a brief silence, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Carla had been working for Isabel for several years now. Isabel was very perceptive of even her mildest gestures.

Sensing that Carla was exhausted, she dismissed her for the day. "You know what, you better get some rest, I'll go myself."

Carla grew concerned. "I should go with you, it's so late already." "There are police patrols in the area, I'll be fine. Don't worry."

With that, she got out of the car before Carla could change her mind.
