Mr.Mayer was no fool he  sensed that lewis was choosing his words very carefully. And certainly, his son wasn’t acting this way casually lewis what exactly is claire.
“Dad, there are some things that I can’t say. You’d better all be a bit more careful. At least at this stage, you should give Scarlette Gray more respect lewis said.

Lewis didn’t know why or how Claire could have inserted herself into Isaac Landford's life and as the killer of  his former fiance, it made absolutely no sense  But at least for the moment Everest still seemed to consider Scarlette to be of extraordinary importance.

Lewis’s visit to the Landford Family home had proven that.
The threat still weighed heavily on him.

Mr. Mayer was deep in thought, and lewis mom wasn’t saying anything Only Sandra curled her lips as if she didn’t believe it.

“This is bullshit, brother. I don’t owe that bitch and shred of respect she nearly destroyed this family and you. Do you have feelings for her still? Is that what this is about? Lewis don’t be so foolish.

Sandra! That is enough! Lewis punched his fist through the wall.
Isaac  gaze fixed on the box of stomachache medicine on his desk. This was the medicine that claire had left for him when he felt sick last time he was fully recovered and had she not been so distraught, he wouldn’t have taken the prescription in the first place but he hadn’t thrown the medicine away. Instead, he had continued to leave it on the desk.
Nathan what do you think clairee will do if she finds out about my true identity?”
Nathan  froze he’d been in the process of collecting the contracts and budgetary reports that Mr.Landford had approved he paused and said nothing.

“Did you hear me? Isaac  asked Nathan nodded. “Uhh…”

“Huh? Is it very difficult to answer this question? Isaac  raised his eyebrows.

“It’s not difficult sir. But I don’t know if my boss would be willing to accept my answer.”
“I don’t need to accept or reject what you say  I simply asked you a question.
Nathan nodded very well i think that Miss Gray will feel deceived. “Hmm.”
Nathan took it a step further. She has been subjected to much and is vulnerable She does not trust most people, and such a betrayal would cut her deeply.”

“Do you think she would still be willing to stay by my side? Isaac asked.
Nathan was slightly surprised. “Do you want Miss Gray to continue to accompany you?”

Since this was only a game, didn’t it mean that the game would come to an end once Mr. landford  told Claire of his true identity?
Or could it be that Mr. Landford has feelings for her and had grown?

Thinking of this nathan clutched the papers he held. “Mr.landford you He opened his mouth in the middle of the sentence, but his words suddenly stuck at the back of his throat.

“What do you want to say? Speak! Isaac ordered nathan frowned. “Mr. Landford has fallen in love with Miss Gray .nathan asked.

So that was why Mr.landford had always been enthusiastic on this game and had secretly done so many things for this woman. It may have begun as a game, but it had morphed into something more. And if Mr. Landford was worrying about the future and whether or not Miss Gray would be with him in it  then his feelings were strong isaac drew in a deep breath.

He had fallen in love? How could that be possible? No. That was not right. And Nathan was a fool for even suggesting it.

How could he have fallen in love with any woman? Was it not enough to have his father as an example? He would never be so weak or desperate, so pathetic as to be at the mercy of some other person. At most, he liked  Claire's company She was kind and uncomplicated She kept her questions to herself and didn’t desire his company for what she could gain. The woman was selfless and patient. Her presence gave him a sense of comfort.
That’s all it was.

“Don’t say this kind of thing in the future,” isaac said coldly.
Nathan shivered and immediately replied, “Yes, sir.”

Without another word, he bowed and left the office.
The lights were intoxicating.
Drake Cooper looked curiously at isaac who was sitting lazily on the sofa isaac  had never liked to participate in these gatherings, but today, he had made an exception.
He leaned over and asked, “Why did you want to come here?”

He and isaac  could be considered childhood playmates. They had been classmates throughout middle school and high school.
Of course, he knew that this good friend of his had always liked to keep quiet and did not particularly care for social events.
In all fairness, most of the time isaac  would be bombarded by businessmen seeking his company or women vying for his attention with dollar-signs in their eyes.

Isaac wasn’t a partier. He didn’t drink to excess. He wasn’t someone who cared about being seen at all the new, cool places.
“Seriously, bro. I invited you only out of habit. I didn’t think for a second that you’d actually show. What gives?”
Isaac  sipped his drink. “Do I need a special reason to come out? Don’t you guys ask me all the time to join you? Isaac asked.
Fair enough. But that was the point, really. They did ask isaac  to hang out all the time, and he very seldom said yes. What changed his mind tonight?
Isaac  answer made sense, but Patrick still felt it was a little strange.
At this moment, a gorgeously dressed woman with exquisite makeup walked up to isaac and tried to start up a conversation with him.
Drake  thought his good friend would definitely reject her, so it was very unexpected when isaac  actually let the woman sit by his side.
Drake's  eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets when isaac ordered her a drink.
Why was he willing to let a woman get so close to him today? Had the sun  risen from the west this morning?!
Drake sensibly stepped away and turned to look at his other friend Blake Adam.
Blake was of a similar height but bulkier, and while Drake was light-hearted, Blake gave isaac a run for the money in the serious department. Well, not with women. When it came to girls, Blake was never seen with the same one twice.
Blake stood beside the bar, playing with a silver bracelet on his wrist. “Are you seeing this too?”
Blake laughed. “It appears our boy isaac is in quite a mood this evening.”
That was one way to put it. “You think he’s turning a corner?”

Drake shrugged. This wasn’t typical behavior for isaac . On the contrary, if anyone was going to go home with random women, that’d be blake. Blake's dark eyes glittered as if he was glad to see someone behaving the way he normally did.
