C27: Trouble in Paradise

ISABELLE

I woke up alone. The curtains were open and it was extremely hot so of course I was going to get up. Chris was nowhere in sight. I got up and brushed my teeth before going downstairs.

"Chris?" I called out

No answer. I walked into the kitchen to get some orange juice and noticed a note.

Emergency at the hotel. Had to leave/ didn't want to wake you. I'll see you later.
-Chris

Emergency at the hotel? I wonder what happened. I look at the clock that reads 8AM. I wonder if he's alright. I actually have to go into work today. Come to think about it... I really haven't been into work at all lately. They're probably all talking about me too. But I take my work seriously. I can't be taking anymore days off for a while.

I take my car back to the hotel. I usually don't like driving but I don't want anyone that might recognize me to know where I live. I go in the back door and everyone I work with is surprised to see me.

"Well look who decided to come into work today." Chantelle says

"Look who's not working but sitting around gossiping in here?" I respond

"Just cause you fucking everyone's boss don't mean you're above everyone... Your promotion is invalid because you've been fuckin him."

"Are you done?" I ask. I don't have to explain shit to her. People can look and talk about me all they want. They don't know a damn thing.

She glares at me before she leaves the room, everyone looks at me and I go and get what I need to get to work. I don't have time for all of them.

I leave the room and run smack into Will.

"Isabelle." He says

"Will." I reply

"Welcome back."

"Yeah, it feels very welcoming here." I say and walk around him

"If anyone gives you problem let me know. I still have your back. I'm still on your side." He tells me

I just keep walking and don't even respond. There's no use in it anyways.

I head up to the last floor before Trey's room and get to work. Doing this is the only thing that makes my life seem normal, even though my life is far from it.

I hear my phone buzzing and I answer it unconsciously.

"Hello?"

"Hello my Belle." I know that voice from anywhere and everywhere. There's only one person whose voice can make me freeze like this.

"Dad?"

Chris
It's been a wild ass morning. Mr. Yamoto suffered a heart attack last night and is in the hospital. Of course Rayne called me to be there. He's stable, but has to relax for quite some time to get back to his healthy self.

"Chris, I need you right now. Do you understand?" Rayne asks me

"I do."

"Daddy can't work. As of right now, I think you're the one who should take care of all his business affairs till he's better. You're the only person he truly trusts, other than me. But I don't know about all of this. It's never been interesting for me." She tells me

"We need to see what your Father wants Rayne. He may trust me, but I may not be the right fit for this." I respond.
My phone buzzes, but I ignore it.

"You are the right fit for this Chris." Yamoto answers

"Daddy!" Rayne cries and runs over to him
