Izaiah reached out and took the phone from her hand, his slender and attractive fingers gently brushing against her palm, sending a tingling
sensation
The man quickly withdrew his hand, with a faint frown looking down at the phone screen. He clicked “OK” below “Fail” and exited the game.
Vanessie lightly pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, then spoke softly.
“If you’re willing, I can take you to play games”
Izaiah raised an eyebrow, Take me?”
He was questioning.
Those deep and narrow eyes stared at her without blinking, as if they were assessing her abilities.
Vanessie was fired up by his gaze, so she took out her phone right away.
“I was really good, I achieved a lot in the game.”
She opened her phone screen while talking, searching for the app to enter the game to show the man in front of her
However, she scrolled through her homepage and didn’t see the game app icon, then she remembered that she had uninstalled the game a long dime ago.
Izaiah’s hot gaze landed on her head, and when he saw she couldn’t find the software, he scoffed.
Although there was no sarcasm intended, it still sounded harsh.
Vanessie took a deep breath and immediately dicked on the app store to download the game.
“It’s just a game, re–downloading is quick”
She suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, speaking in a casual tone.
baish furrowed his brows and put away his phone.
“Since you don’t play this game anymore, don’t force yourself to download it again. I know Ms. Chavez has never been the type to force herself.”
Vanessie was taken aback for a moment, about to say she didn’t feel forced, when the man sitting across from her looked away and took a cigarette from the table, getting up to walk out onto the balcony.
She lightly pursed her lips, then remembered why she came here today.
Vanemie watched Izaiah’s back, hesitantly speaking.
“Mr. Ellison, I heard you were interested in buying shares of Venberg Group, I came to see you today because I want to
sell
my shares.” my:
She got to the point, and Izaiah stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at her.
“Did you hear?
Vanessie nodded, “Yeah, I had 51% of Venberg Group shares in my hand, I’m willing to sell them all to you, I just need Mr. Ellison to agree to one
condition.”
Izaiah held cigarette in his left hand, not lit, and said with .

Apologize
But she didn’t think that breaking off the engagement was wrong either.
After all, they didn’t have any feelings, Izaiah was just a stranger to her
The atmosphere was tense. Vanessie pursed her lips and finally spoke.
Sorry to bother you.”
This way doesn’t work, so there must be other ways
She turned around and was about to leave, Izaiah’s expression visibly cooled down.
Is this how Ms does business?”
Vanessie stopped.
Izaiah stared at her face for a few seconds, with a smirk on his face.
I thought Ms. Chavez, who boasted about making a name for herself in Leavenworth, would be very convincing at the negotiating table, but it turns out she just dropped by and quickly gave up?”
Vanessie had no comeback to his mocking”
Anyway, it’s not the first time she’s been embarrassed in front of him, so she just decided to open the skylight
I know Mr. Ellison actually doesn’t have any feelings for me, he just can’t swallow the fact that he was dumped before. You deliberately want to embarrass me with this matter, if I don’t leave now, do I have to stay and let you humiliate me?”
