Chapter 386: Run Away, baby!
Isabella closed her eyes and counted to ten. She was going to run away in the next thirty seconds. She was not going to get disracted by him. As she repeated this mantra in her head and turned around, her heart sank.
There he was, brandishing her earring like a triumphant pirate discovering hidden treasure. Isabella’s eyes widened in disbelief. When and how had her earring reached him? She was pretty sure she’d already been wearing those when he came... Or maybe not.
As he started to walk towards her, she knew he was going to take up this game a notch. His intentions were clear. And she would not survive. She knew that too! She was not going to let him near her...
Hurriedly, she took a step back and turned on her heels," I’m not wearing the second ear ring. You can keep it. It’s out of fashion to wear earrings on both ears. Bye."
As Isabella raced out of her own home like a thief, followed by the sound of Ian’s amused laughter, she knew she was in deep. That man was laughing at her and instead of confronting him, she was fleeing!

Ian whistled as he drove towards the club, drumming his fingers on the wheel as he sang along to the song on the radio. As his phone rang and he answered, he heard Seb’s irritated voice over the phone," Why would you change the venue at the last moment?"
"How is everything with Jameson?"
"She is going to be busy for quite some time and won’t have time for you. Sorry. Also, whats up with you? I thought you were going to take Isabella out on a date? And now you’ve cancelled the reservation."
