The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 126

On paper, Derek is Isaac's secretary, but in reality, he's also a childhood friend. Their bond is tight.

Isaac admitted, "Yeah, I've been hitched for a while now. When you're back in Imperial City, let's grab a bite."

Isaac had kept his marriage under wraps because he didn't consider Brittany a big deal before, but things have changed. Now he wants to give it a shot with Brittany.

Derek clenched his fists and said, "Zac, you're going to break Loraine's heart doing this."

They both knew how Loraine felt about Isaac.

"Derek," Isaac quickly interrupted him, "I don't have feelings for Loraine. Did you tell her about my flight this time?"

Derek went pale. Knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, he confessed, "Yeah. She said she wanted another go."

"Don't pull a stunt like this again. I'm not interested in her."

If someone else did this, he wouldn't let it slide, but Derek was both a loyal assistant and a childhood friend. Isaac was more forgiving.

Derek felt bad for Loraine but didn't want to make things awkward with Isaac.

So he shifted the conversation to business matters.

...

When Brittany got home, it was already nine in the evening.

She let Isaac know she was safe, then headed for the bathroom. By the time she got out, the food she ordered had arrived.

After dinner, she waited for Isaac's reply to feel relieved.

For the next few days, Brittany and Isaac would chat for half an hour each night. During these calls, there was often a knock at Isaac's door—probably work matters.

Brittany always ended the call to avoid disturbing his work.

After hanging up, Brittany would look around the empty room, feeling a bit uncomfortable. She confided in Hannah, "I kind of miss Zakky."

She had lived alone before but had never felt this uneasy. Now, the emptiness of the house was bothering her.

Hannah chuckled and said, "Stop talking my ear off. You're head over heels in love!"

But did Brittany know about the news about Isaac and Loraine?

The branch issues were sorted out, and Isaac asked Nathan to book the fastest flight back to Imperial City.

But Loraine and Derek stopped him.

"Zac, there's a private auction tomorrow night. Why don't we check it out?"

Derek planned to stay in H city for about a week. Once everything was sorted out, he would go back to Imperial City to be with Isaac.

"That jewelry piece you've been looking for is up for auction."

Isaac paused, clearly intrigued.

He had been searching for his mother's bridal jewelry, a set of which was sold by Manuel.

Now, if this set really shows up at the auction, it would be an irresistible temptation.

"Zac, we're in H city; let's chill out a bit," Loraine chimed in. "The three of us haven't hung out together in years."

Isaac signaled Nathan to change the flight. Then he turned to Derek, saying, "Alright."
