Chapter 54

“Are you sure you are coming?” Izzy asked as she fixed Liam’s tie “I mean.. that is the celebration of your rival company. How could you come after they invited you?”

“They invited me, remember? Liam answered, smirking. “Howould I not come? Wouldn’t that mean that I am looking down on my rival?”

Izzy sighed inwardly. She didn’t know what the CEO was thinking about inviting Liam. Was it because he wanted to boast? Liam’s company had been a direct rival of Weiss Inc. Both companies had made attempts to branch out internationally, and that was the reason why they often clashed. Izzy couldn’t help but wonder if this last–minute invite was because of what happened the other day.

Liam punched Calen. While there were no talks about a lawsuit, Izzy was certain that the Weiss family wouldn’t just let this

“Besides, I don’t want to miss anything”

Izzy lifted an eyebrow. “Miss anything? What do you mean?”

“Who knows what Calen would come up with after that.. encounter?” he asked

Izzy frowned but said nothing. She had always known Calen had the tendency to act like that when drunk. Isn’t that the reason why she asked him to stop drinking at any events in the past? She pursed her lips and turned towards the mirror inside the room.

Izzy smoothed the fabric of her dress as she gave herself a final once–over in the mirror. The red dress hugged her curves perfectly, with its sleek design and off–shoulder neckline giving her a poised and commanding look. A pair of silver earrings dangled elegantly, catching the light each time she moved. She adjusted her bracelet and stepped back to take in the whole picture. Satisfied, she nodded, grabbed her clutch, and turned toward her phone buzzing on the counter.

The name on the screen made her pause. Cecil.

Izzy hesitated, her fingers hovering over the phone. Cecil had been calling repeatedly since the incident with Calen. She’d answered once, only to hear Cecil apologizing profusely for her son’s behavior. Izzy had brushed it off at the time, not wanting to linger on the details, Cecil had also asked her to attend today’s event, but Izzy hadn’t committed to anything.

She glanced at Liam, who signaled her that he would go outsiderst. She nodded. Then the phone buzzed again. This time, she answered.

“Hello?” she said, keeping her tone neutral as she reached for her purse and checked it for essentials.

“Izzy!” Cecil exclaimed. “I’m so glad you answered. Where are you? Are you still in your flat?”

Izzy glanced at the time. “Tm just finishing up. I’ll be heading our soon

“Oh, good,” Cecil said. “I was hoping you’d come. It wouldn’t feel right without you there. After all, the event was for you.”
