Chapter 182: Uh Oh!
Isabella stared at Nora with a hopeful look, her voice laden with enthusiasm. "Come on, sweetheart. You have to come! This is the first time we can be together without the threat of that woman hanging over your head! It will be a lot of fun! And don’t you want to be with you hottie husband? I mean he was here last week and your glow has yet to subside! Let’s go back and you won’t even need any spa days or facial for the entire month..."
Nora’s expression flickered as she cursed in her heart! It was because of that man that she couldn’t go back. Her husband had actually warned her to not return or else he would lock her inside the house! As if! That had been the biggest motivating factor for her to return and let him try grounding her but she’d given in at the last moment. It just wasn’t worth it to get into a fight with him. Instead, she would stay here and pretend to be agreeable while trying to gather some ammunition.
Though that attempt too had almost proven to be a failure. None of the Frosties knew what it was that Demetri had been hiding. Sighing, she shook her head," You know I want to come. But I cannot. I need to catch up with the extra classes. The ’perks’ of enrolling in the middle of the term! Come back soon Bella baby and we can have fun here."
Isabella’s shoulders slumped, but she nodded understandingly. "I get it, Nora. But you’ll be missed back home."
Quickly Isabella caught Nora in a bear hug as if she was leaving forever...Before Nora could protest that she was having trouble breathing, Isabella stepped back and cursed.
Frowning in surprise at the sudden string of curses escaping Isabella’s mouth, Nora stared at her but the girl was looking somewhere else. Following her line of sight, Nora felt her mouth fall open too.
"Isn’t that Erasmi? That jerk! He actually told me that he was leaving the country and now he is still here three days later! That liar! All he had to do was take me with him on the private plane, but he lied to me! Let me go give him a piece of my mind!"
Before Nora could stop her, Isabella was already marching towards him. Nora stared at the man whose back was to them and tried to wonder why Erasmi would lie to her? And what was he doing here at the airport today? Her gaze fixed on the man, she stared intently when the man turned their way.
Sh*t! This was not Erasmi! This was Demetri! What was he doing here? Quickly Nora started to make her way to him and that is when she realized that Isabella was going to jump onto him. Literally, pounce on him! Uh oh! She needed to save Isabella before the girl...
Too late. Suddenly everything seemed to happen in slow motion as Nora watched Isabella as she was already running towards him full speed. As she jumped to throw her arms around the man, Demetri seemed to have realized that someone was approaching him. As expected, the man was quick on his feet and jumped out of Isabella’s way while Bella had no way of stopping her momentum.
Her face contorted and she closed her eyes, unable to watch her friend diving onto the ground. Unexpectedly, Demetri slipped the leather bag in his hand under Isabella, cushioning her fall.
