Chapter 402 Isaac's Schemes
Amara arranged Liora's room in the farthest corner from Isaac's room and study, in a small room where sunlight couldn't reach.
Seeing Amara's smug look, Liora was furious.
But this was Isaac's house, and she didn't dare to make a fuss over this, fearing it would displease Isaac.
The next day, Liora used the excuse of wanting to learn from Isaac to request to go to the Porter Group with him.
Isaac didn't refuse and let her come along, but he didn't keep her by his side. Instead, he had Wesley assign her some random tasks.
Wesley assigned Liora work that didn't touch on any company secrets. Not only did she complete it slowly, but she also made a ton of mistakes, forcing him to redo it himself.
He was very disdainful.
With Liora's level of competence, was she really the most capable among the younger generation of the Hansen family?
No wonder Sylvie was so eager to marry her daughter to Isaac.
They probably wanted Isaac to help manage their family business.
Otherwise, once Sylvie passed away, if the Hansen family business was left to these people, it would go bankrupt within three years.
After work in the evening.
As soon as they walked out of the company, Amara greeted them with a smile.
"Isaac, you must be tired from work. Let me treat you to dinner. I found a great restaurant, let's go eat together!"
Liora was seething with anger.
Amara was so shameless, waiting at the company entrance for Isaac to get off work.
Suppressing her anger, Liora walked up to Isaac, "Isaac, I need to discuss some work-related matters with you. Let's have dinner together and talk."
Amara smiled and chimed in, "Liora wants to join us? Alright, I agree to let you come with Isaac and me."
Liora shot back coldly, "I need to discuss work with Isaac, it's not really appropriate to have outsiders present. You go eat by yourself, don't follow us."
Amara pouted and looked at Isaac with concern, "Isaac has been working all day and is already tired. Now that he's off work, why are you dragging him to discuss work?"
"Liora, you really don't know how to be considerate. It's after work, and you still want Isaac to work overtime. If you don't care about Isaac, I do."
"Don't talk nonsense, I care about him too!" Liora spoke awkwardly.
She had never expressed concern for a man so directly, so it felt unnatural.
At this moment, Isaac spoke indifferently, "It's after work, I don't want to discuss work. You go home first, I'll have dinner with Amara."
Liora clenched her fists tightly, her face darkening.
Isaac actually rejected her and chose to go out with Amara.
Was her charm really not as great as Amara's?
Amara covered her mouth and laughed, "Sorry, Liora. I wanted to include you, but it looks like Isaac only wants to date me alone. I have no choice but to listen to Isaac. Don't blame me."
Liora's fists clenched tightly.
But in the end, she could only watch as Amara left with Isaac.
She couldn't figure out why she lost.
Was Isaac blind? Why would he choose Amara?
Isaac and Amara went to the restaurant she mentioned, but just as the dishes were served, Amara took some photos to show off on Facebook. Before she could start eating, Isaac's phone rang.
He answered the call, said a few words, and then said he had an urgent matter and had to leave.
Amara was displeased, "Isaac, we haven't even started eating, and you're already ready to leave? That's pretty cold. You're being too perfunctory. Can't you spend more time with me?"
Isaac replied, "I have work to do."
Amara pouted aggrievedly, "But we don't have much time alone. I don't bother you during work hours, at least give me some of your time after work."
Isaac's voice deepened, "Don't be unreasonable. Liora never delays my work for personal reasons."
Amara immediately fell silent, and her face was very unpleasant.
Isaac compared her to Liora again!
How was she inferior to Liora?
Amara took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Sorry, Isaac. I just wanted to spend more time with you. I didn't mean to hold you up."
"If you really have urgent matters, go ahead. I'll be fine on my own."
Isaac turned and left without hesitation.
When Isaac left the restaurant, Wesley was already waiting for him in the car.
It was Wesley who had called him earlier.
But Wesley had nothing to report or handle.
Isaac had asked him to call at the right time so he could find an excuse to leave.
After getting in the car, Isaac took out his phone and dialed Liora's number.
At this time, Liora was already home, looking at Amara's boastful Facebook post, her face twisted with anger.
She grabbed a doll, imagining it was Amara, and stabbed it with scissors.
Sylvie also saw the Facebook post and shoted her a WhatsApp message. [Liora, didn't you say Isaac likes you? Why did he let Amara stay and go on a date with her instead of you?]
Liora gritted her teeth, not knowing how to answer.
Should she tell the truth, that Isaac just liked her quietness and lack of drama? Now that Amara was pretending to be obedient and quiet, Isaac was interested in her?
She couldn't say that.
Otherwise, the already biased Sylvie would definitely ask her to come back and let Amara continue developing with Isaac.
At this moment, Liora's phone rang.
She glanced at it and saw it was Isaac calling!
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she answered the call with excitement.
"Isaac, aren't you having dinner with Amara? How do you have time to call me?"
Isaac replied, "Didn't you say you had something to discuss with me? Come find me now."
Liora asked, "What about Amara? If I come over, won't she be angry?"
Isaac answered, "I've already left her. Let's just pick another spot to talk."
Liora couldn't hide her excitement, "Okay, I'll come find you now. Send me the address once you've picked a place."
After hanging up, she quickly changed into a dress, touched up her makeup, and left with excitement.
Isaac had Wesley find a random restaurant and booked a place, then sent the address to Liora.
Liora arrived quickly.
She sat across from Isaac, unable to hide her smile.
She seemed more capable than Amara, but in reality, she wasn't very sophisticated, and her thoughts were written all over her face.
"Isaac, weren't you on a date with Amara? You haven't even started eating, right? Why did you leave her to come find me? Won't Amara be angry?" Liora asked.
Isaac said indifferently, "Whether she's angry or not is none of my concern."
Liora pressed, "Don't you have feelings for her?"
Isaac looked up at her, "Who said that?"
Liora bit her lip, "You never said it, but you let her stay with just a bit of coaxing and agreed to go on a date with her. If you didn't have feelings for her, why would you favor her so much?"
Her tone carried a hint of complaint that she herself didn't notice.
Isaac lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke, "There are some things I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, I'll tell you. Just promise me it stays between us."
