Chapter 1047 I'm Done
Isabella then stood up and grabbed her bag. "Alright, I have to go to work."
"At this hour? What are you going to do?" Leon glanced at his watch. It was already past three, and work ended at five-thirty.
Isabella hurriedly replied, "I still have some work to finish today."
"Let me drive you," Leon said, grabbing his suit jacket.
"Thank you!" Isabella reached out and touched Leon's cheek.
The car sped down the road, and Leon gently looked at Isabella beside him, placing his hand on her slightly protruding belly. "Your body will get heavier, and working every day is too tiring. Why don't you quit this job? Stay home and take care of yourself, so you can give Milo a healthy and cute little brother."
Isabella frowned and said, "I worked hard to get this job, and I enjoy it. Let me work for a few more months. I plan to quit when I'm seven or eight months pregnant."
Sensing Isabella's determination, Leon could only say, "Alright, I know I can't change your mind."
Hearing this, Isabella rested her head on Leon's shoulder and said playfully, "Nonsense! You're the one who affects my mood the most."
Leon looked down and smiled at Isabella.
Soon, the car stopped in front of an office building.
"Goodbye!" Isabella waved at Leon and got out of the car.
After taking a few steps, Isabella felt someone following her. She turned around quickly.
To her surprise, she saw Leon standing behind her, smiling.
Frowning, Isabella asked, "Why did you get out of the car too?"
"I'm walking you to work," Leon replied.
"You're walking me upstairs?" Isabella pointed to the office building.
"I won't be at ease unless I walk you upstairs." With that, Leon helped Isabella into the building.
"Just walk me to the elevator. It's not good for my colleagues to see this, okay?" Isabella tried to push Leon out of the elevator, but Leon insisted on walking her upstairs.
Isabella was speechless but couldn't stop Leon.
After getting off the elevator, Leon followed Isabella into EchoEffect Advertising.
As soon as they entered EchoEffect Advertising, the employees who were already at their desks were stunned by the sight of a handsome man, casting admiring glances.
"Isabella, who is this?" A few curious female employees quietly asked Isabella.
Isabella helplessly replied, "My husband."
"Your husband? So handsome? You're so lucky." Everyone looked at Isabella with jealousy.
Noticing the looks in those women's eyes, Isabella felt quite pleased.
Next, Isabella turned to Leon and said, "Alright, you've shown your face. Can you leave now?"
Leon looked down.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked over. Seeing Leon, he immediately extended his hand respectfully. "Mr. Johnson, what brings you here today?"
"I came to walk Isabella to work and to check on EchoEffect Advertising," Leon replied.
"Mr. Johnson, please come to my office for a detailed discussion," The general manager of EchoEffect Advertising said, nodding and bowing.
"Alright." Leon nodded, glanced at Isabella, and then followed the general manager to his office.
Isabella was stunned, thinking, 'What's going on? Why is Leon inspecting EchoEffect Advertising?'
While Isabella was puzzled, a female employee beside her exclaimed, "Isabella, you're the boss's wife?"
Hearing this, Isabella asked dumbfoundedly, "What boss?"
"You didn't know? Before you joined EchoEffect Advertising, our company was acquired by a big company. I heard the boss is Mr. Johnson. So, it must be your husband. Wait, you didn't know about this? Oh, I get it. You didn't want to reveal your identity as the boss's wife, right?" The female employee who was usually close to Isabella said with a smile.
"I..." Isabella was at a loss for words.
Isabella sat in her office, sulking.
Leon had acquired EchoEffect Advertising long ago but kept it from her.
No wonder she got the job as the financial director so easily. There were many competitors for the position, and not only did she get hired, but she was also allowed to go home at noon to take care of Milo. It was unbelievable. It turned out Leon was behind it all.
Isabella had felt accomplished for getting such a good job on her own, but now she felt defeated, realizing it was all arranged by Leon.
Soon, the office door was gently pushed open.
Isabella looked up and saw Leon walking in.
She pouted and turned her face away, ignoring him.
"What's wrong? Are you mad?" Leon walked to Isabella, bent down, and placed his hands on the desk.
Isabella glanced at Leon. "You planned all of this, didn't you?"
Leon grinned and said, "I had no choice. You insisted on working, and I couldn't stop you. So, I arranged it this way. This way, Milo is taken care of, and you have a job. Isn't it a win-win?"
Hearing this, Isabella stood up angrily. "I realize that I'm a fool. I've fallen into your trap completely."
With that, Isabella grabbed her bag and walked out.
Seeing Isabella leave, Leon quickly followed. "Where are you going?"
"Home!" Isabella said angrily.
As they spoke, Leon caught up with her in the elevator.
"Didn't you say you had work to do?" Leon asked with a smile.
Isabella glared at Leon. "I'm verbally resigning now. I'm done, okay?"
Hearing this, Leon laughed. "Then I accept your resignation. Now I don't have to worry about you working with a big belly."
Hearing this, Isabella realized she had been tricked and immediately got angry. "You planned this, didn't you?"
Isabella raised her fist and angrily hit Leon's shoulder several times.
Leon wasn't angry. Instead, he grinned and said, "Go ahead. As long as it makes you feel better, hit me all you want."
"You're asking for it." With that, Isabella hit Leon's chest several more times.
