Chapter 582
“Huh?”
“What’s going on here? Didn’t Joie say Brittany was the one pestering Mr. Salter? How did things take a turn?”
“Joie’s face is turning pale”
Isaac put down his wine glass, his eyes on Joie, “You said something earlier about us starting something? Starting
what?”
Joie clutched her wine glass, her face white as a sheet, “Bro Isaac, that’s not what I meant… I…”
“We’ve always been just friends.”
In the past, Isaac was ignorant of Jole’s feelings, so he could afford to be respectful. But now that he knew she’s
into him, how could he possibly go easy on her?

The real clingy one was him.
Everyone could sense something was off.
So it was Joie who was having illusions?
Mr. Salter was never in a relationship with her? They were just friends all along?
So all those exaggerations she made on set, painting herself as the woman Mr. Salter was into, were all lies?
Someone laughed. Joie couldn’t hold it in any longer. She left with tears in her eyes.
Brittany didn’t expect Isaac to show up, nor did she know he’d take this chance to clarify his relationship with Joie.
She stood up, “I should get going; it’s getting late.”
Her assistant followed her.
Isaac glanced at the people at the table, then turned to follow Brittany.
The people in the crew exchanged glances.
Holy shit, so Mr. Salter was the clingy one?
Isaac couldn’t spot Brittany outside the restaurant and felt irritated.
Joie, however, hadn’t left. Seeing him come out, she approached him with teary eyes, “Isaac, why did you do that?”
Now that Isaac had clarified their relationship, could she still hold her ground on set?
Isaac looked at her, annoyed, “You’re the one who spread rumors.”
Spreading rumors could cause consequences.
Joie’s eyes turned red, “But Isaac, I really do like you.”
Where did she fall short compared to Brittany? Why couldn’t Isaac accept her?
“There are plenty of people who like me. I’m not obligated to accept all of them.” Isaac was very calm, “If it wasn’t
for our acquaintance, I wouldn’t have let you stay in this circle after you spread those rumors.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoie turned pale, “Bro Isaac, is there really no chance for me?”
Isaac, preoccupied with finding Brittany, left her with a curt reply, “Nope”, and walked away.
Joie stood there, dumbfounded. Her face turned red and tears fell like a broken string of pearls.
“Brittany, why did you come back?
If you hadn’t come back, Isaac would have fallen for me sooner or later!
Why didn’t you just die five years ago?”
Calling in sick, Joie didn’t show up on set in the following days. Brittany didn’t care. She was only concerned about
the shooting progress and the jewelry design drafts.
William was swamped. They hadn’t seen each other in almost a week.
She had tried calling him, but he was too busy and hung up after a few words. So Brittany didn’t disturb him again.
On the weekend, she asked Hannah to join her for a meal. At the table, Hannah suddenly remembered something,
“Bri, Nheard that Dillion family’s funds have been having trouble. Did William tell you about this?”
