Isla Astir shook her head.
Continuing her thought, Isla said, "I guess soone as exceptional as Brother Thompson probably has a wife and children by now."
He certainly wasn't lacking outstanding won around him.
Upon hearing this, regret filled Mrs. Astir's eyes.
Eva Webster narrowed her eyes, not yet convinced that Mandel Thompson had a girlfriend.
And then again, what if he did?
A girlfriend would an nothing if, for example, Mandel Thompson was attracted to her. That would just prove that his love for his girlfriend wasn't that strong after all.
Eva Webster looked at Isla and asked, "Isla, how did you et this Mr. Thompson in the first place?"
"He is my client's father," Isla easily admitted.
Ah, so it was a client's father.
No wonder he drove a Bentley.
If she could marry Mandel Thompson, wouldn't it an a life of no worries and struggles for her?
Even if Isla makes millions a year, she would not be able to compare with that.
In response, Eva narrowed her eyes, "Client's father? But you said that he is just a friend?"
How does a business partner turn into a friend?
There was certainly sothing fishy about this!
Perhaps Isla was plotting sothing over Mandel Thompson.
Isla didn't want to explain much. She simply said, "Maybe we just share so common topics."
Common topics?
Mandel Thompson, a big boss, could have sothing common with Isla, an artist?
They were clearly worlds apart in terms of status.
Listening from the side, Liam Webster curiously asked, "Who are you talking about? Who is this Mr. Thompson?"
Eva turned to Liam Webster, "What's your business in girls' affairs? You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
She then linked her arm with Isla's, "Let's go, Isla, let's go back to our room for the barbecue."
Isla followed Eva's footsteps.
They both returned to the room together.
Eva could not stop talking about Mandel Thompson.
Despite not being related by blood, Isla knew her cousin pretty well.
She did not reveal Mandel Thompson's personal information.
When Eva wanted to ask more questions, Isla got up from the sofa, "I'm going to the living room for so water."
Eva realized she wouldn't be getting any more information and said, "Just go."
Isla went to the living room.
As soon as she entered, she received a text ssage from Mandel Thompson.
[I've reached ho.]
Ho?
Upon seeing the ssage, Isla's mind began racing.
Why did Mandel Thompson feel the need to inform her that he had reached ho?
Before Isla could react, she heard Mrs. Astir's voice, "Isla."
"Mom." Isla looked up at her mother.
Mrs. Astir lowered her voice, "Can you be honest and tell what kind of relationship you have with that Mr. Thompson?"
"He's my boss," Isla replied.
Boss?
Mrs. Astir was skeptical, "Would a boss personally drop you off? Would a boss visit your ho at this hour?"
Isla touched her nose and continued, "Rember the friend who helped us when Dad had surgery?"
"Yes, I rember," Mrs. Astir nodded and then added, "If it weren't for your friend, your dad might still be waiting in line for surgery! I actually wanted to invite him over for dinner, but you didn't get him over!"
At this point, it seed that sothing clicked for Mrs. Astir. She looked at Isla, her eyes wide with surprise, "Isla, is Mr. Thompson the sa person who saved your father?"
"Yes." Isla nodded.
After that incident, Isla and Mandel Thompson had no contact and she thought she would never et him again.
Until this recent IP remodeling case.
Mrs. Astir was taken aback, "If I had known Mr. Thompson was your father's lifesaver, I would have thanked him properly tonight, why didn't you say sothing earlier?"
Both of them had always been grateful to the person who helped them.
Isla replied, "I just casually ntioned that he could co over for tea, I didn't think he would show up. Also, I didn't get a chance to talk about it."
Even now, she was a bit dazed.
Mandel Thompson had actually shown up at her house!
Mrs. Astir looked at Isla, squinted slightly, and asked, "Isla, why would Mr. Thompson help you out of the blue? He even managed to get your father into the VIP Ward. Is he in love with you? Is he pursuing you?"
