Chapter 7
Isabela handed in the resignation letter to HR, watched as she stamped it with the official seal.
“Since Mr. Cressey agreed, Isabela, you can hand over all your work and leave in three days.”
Isabela’s gloomy mood that lasted for several days finally started to clear up.
She went back to her desk and finished up the last tasks.
After spending two days organizing the documents, handed them over to my colleague. She took a box and packed all her stuff into it
She had just finished tidying up when Darren pashed open the door and walked in.
He looked surprised when he saw her empty desk.
“What are you packing for?”
Isabela was about to answer when she seemed to remember something, nodded.
“Yeah, after you got promoted, you have your own office. Let’s go out first and tidy up later.”
saying that, he didn’t even wait for her to respond, he just turned around and left.
Isabela hesitated to speak, silently followed along, all the way to the auction site.
Elaine was there tog, saw her, with a hint of disdain on her face, she walked up and took Darren’s hand.
“Darren, I’ve already picked out the jewelry I like, this time you have to buy it all for me no matter wher”
Darren gave her an indulgent smile and helped her sit down
“Don’t worry, I’ll take whatever you want.”
Isabela stood alone in the corner, watching the two of them chatting intimately, and she felt nothing in her heart.
After the auction started, anything Elaine was interested in, Darren followed through to the end.
The whole hall was shocked by his extravagant gesture, everyone turned to look
So many items were bid an, did Mr. Cressey spod his girlfriend? Whatever she wanted, he bought, even more magical than a wishing well, Ms. Reilly is really lucky”
“I heard that ever since they started dating. Ms. Reilly has been calling the shots, and Mr. Cressey is still head over heels for her after all these years. He’s really devoted”
Upon hearing these admiring praises, Elaine was overjoyed
She casually tossed the auction catalog to Isabela, and then flirted with Darren.
“I needed to go to the bathroom, Darren, will you come with me?”
Darren immediately got up, helped her and left, leaving Isabela with just a few words before leaving
“Take pictures of everything circled in the booklet.
Isabela quietly took note and snapped everything as he requested
Just as I was about to leave, the auctioner suddenly brought out a brand new item on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, next up is the hidden auction item section of this auction. A pinkish–purple necklace carved from a 40.52–carat alexandrite, starting price, 10 million.”
All the guests didn’t expect there would be a hidden auction item, their attention was all drawn to this dazzling and gorgeous necklace
At one point, bids were flying back and forth, and soon the necklace was skyrocketed to a sky–high price.
Isabela also picked up her phone, took a picture of this necklace, and sent it to Darren, asking if he needed a matching one.
But he didn’t reply for a long time, so she called a few more times, but still no one answered.
During her negotiation, the necklace was sold for five billion
The moment when everything was settled, Elaine just happened to come back.

She fell in love with the necklace at first sight. When she found out It had been taken by someone else, she picked up the red wine on the table and splashed it directly on Isabela’s face.
“How do you work? Didn’t I ask you to take pictures of everything I like?”
The spilled wine soaked Isabela’s hair and clothes, she held her hands tightly, trying to keep her voice calm
“The necklace wasn’t in the action catalog, it was a last–minute hidden item brought up on stage. I called Mr. Cressey, but be didn’t pick up..”
Elaine couldn’t listen to her explanation at all, she just looked at Darren with a sad face,
“Darren, Isabela not only has issues with her abilities but also shirks responsibility! I don’t care, I just want this necklace. If you don’t give it to me, then I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Darren saw the message Isabela sent, it’s not her fault.
In front of Elaine, he couldn’t explain it to Isabela be that, he just had to go along with her and calm her down.
“When have I ever not satisfied what you like? Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to buy the necklace right now.‘
Darren called over the staff, his voice cold and stem, “Go negotiate with the buyer. As long as he’s willing to give up the necklace, any conditions are
fine.
Isabela stood on the side, her shirt soaked and sticking to her body, red wine dripping from the ends of her hair.
She looked at Elaine’s smug expression, suddenly had a bad feeling
The staff quicldy returned, looking hesitant, “Mr. Cressey, the buyer said he’s willing to give up the necklace, but….”
Darren frowned.
“He had a condition…” the staff hesitated, “he wanted your secretary to accompany him for the night, he said.
The staff reluctantly repeated, “Although this secretary is not very attractive, he is used to eating big dishes, so trying some small dishes occasionally is not bad.”
