Chapter 355: Along The Way
"I..."
Ian turned around to see Isabella standing frozen, her gaze intense as she shook her head. "Why are you not coming?"
Isabella sighed, casting a thin glance his way, and narrowed her eyes. "Because I don’t really like having a target pasted on my head. Did you know you have groupies?"
Ian, perplexed, shot a questioning look at Isabella. "Groupies?"
"Groupies? You know, those female fans who might be interested in their idol? Like puck bunnies? Court queens? You get the drift."
Ian grimaced. "I know what ’groupies’ means. But I don’t know why you would say I have them. I’m no musician or band member."
"Well, I don’t know the term that is used in the office, but really, I’ve been getting glares all day from all the females. I almost feel like I should stick a post-it to my head saying I have nothing to do with Ian Frost. Now, all this because they believe that you favored me over them. Imagine what they’ll do if they find out I went home with you. Thanks, but no thanks. I’d like to be invisible for now."
Ian grinned at her response. "But you’re not going home ’with’ me. I’m just dropping you on the way."
"Doesn’t matter, Sir. I am not risking losing my life just for a lift home."
As Isabella attempted to close the elevator doors to go to the ground floor, she failed to miss the heat in Ian’s eyes at her addressing him as, "Sir."
Soon, the doors started to close, and Ian cocked his head, giving an order. "Wait for me outside the D bakery. No one will see you there."
