The young woman nonchalantly cleaned her knife and commented, “Impressive how you can still keep your cool after getting insulted like that.”

Josh did not pay much heed to her comment, saying, “It’s surprising that you came looking for me. You didn’t sneak in here planning to hurt me, did you? After all, we have no feud.”

Isabelle smiled wryly and said, “Are you trying to get me to go after Ryan?”

She saw right through his intentions,

Isabelle stated calmly, “I detest deceit in my presence.”

Josh, maintaining his composure, responded, “I might have hidden agendas, but I assure you, my words. are honest.”
