Chapter 53 The Woman has a Sultry Figure

“If we could make a move this time, it will be no harm to us if we are to help any parties!” Neil Isaac said. “No!” Mark Pattinson denied. “We are not helping any parties!” “But this is a good opportunity!” Neil Isaac said. “Among the world’s four major gangs, three of the gangs have occupied the European region. Although the Hell’s Angels Alliance had only risen in the past few years, its strength cannot be underestimated. It could expand within a few years and be able to compete with the Eastern Union Alliance. Their internal strength must not be weak, so we are not helping any parties. In case there is an upheaval, it may be us who will suffer. So, for now, we are not doing anything!” Mark Pattinson explained. Neil Isaac looked at him, “What do you mean?” "When shepherds quarrel, the wolf takes all!" Mark Pattinson said confidently. Although he might get something out of it if he interferes, the gangsters in the world had already formed a Triple Power. There would be a turbulent period for a long time if one gang was eliminated. Neither of the two gangs could destroy the other, so he would rather not make a move! Neil Isaac nodded and felt that Mark Pattinson's analysis was quite reasonable. He was very worried and that he had brought him here in person. It seemed that his visit had not gone in vain. "Okay, got it!" So, the two men chatted for a while. Then Neil Isaac glanced at a magazine on his desk. He raised his brows, picked the magazine up and read it. It turned out to be a magazine photo of Mark Pattinson and Lyla at a wine party. On that day, they were honored to be featured in an international magazine. Neil Isaac also happened to see the news in the magazine. He had praised Mark Pattinson for his superior taste in women, but he did not expect the news to be deleted on the first day before its publication. Needless to say, no one except Mark Pattinson would do something as boring as to intercept his news. Therefore… Neil Isaac gazed at the photo, flicking his clean and powerful fingers on it and aroused a smile, “Mark, this woman has a sultry figure...the body complexion is good!” Mark Pattinson knew who he was talking about. He raised his brows lazily and gave a faint 'yes'. But, between his brows, he was a little proud of himself. "This woman is more tasteful than Kathleen Turner!" Neil Isaac said again. Mark Pattinson just glanced at him faintly without saying anything. Seeing that he did not respond, Neil Isaac continued by saying, “She's my type!” In the next moment, Mark Pattinson reached out and snatched the magazine in his hand. This reaction made Neil Isaac laugh, “What's the matter?” “When are you leaving?” Neil Isaac asked back. Neil Isaac, “…” This was the first time Mark Pattinson had driven him away so blatantly. “I am not rushing and staying for two more days!” Neil Isaac said while observing Mark Pattinson's expression. He was so daring when he loved a woman! He smiled and leaned forward, “Mark, are you driving me away because of a woman?” “You overthink!” “Really?” “Yes!” “Well, then you could introduce her to me. She happens to be the type I like!” “I’ll book a flight ticket for you to leave this afternoon!” Mark Pattinson said. Neil Isaac laughed as Mark was not being honest with himself. “Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What's your relationship with her?” “No relationship!” “If there’s no relationship, will you erase all the news about her the next day?” Neil Isaac asked back. For people like them, this was a form of protection. Over the years, he had ignored many scandals revolving around him, claiming him to have multiple relationships with many others. Suddenly it became a bit strange for him to erase a person's news. "Neil, since when did you become such a busybody?" Mark Pattinson asked, looking at him with a frown. "You know, I only care about you. If it were someone else, I don't bother to care at all!" Neil said that with an expression that he should be grateful instead. "Then I shall say thank you. Let's take care of your own personal affairs!" Mark Pattinson said without a smile. Neil Isaac suddenly narrowed his eyes to glance at Mark Pattinson. The more he kept silent, the more curious Neil Isaac became. “Since you have no relationship with her, why don't you introduce her to me?” Neil Isaac provoked him fearlessly. Mark Pattinson was taken aback and suddenly glared at him, “If you want her, go find her yourself!” … He was obviously jealous just by looking at his expression. It was the first time Neil Isaac saw him being jealous of a woman. That scene was amusing! At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Mark Pattinson’s office. Mark Pattinson gazed at the door and muttered, “Come in!” So, in the next moment, Kathleen Turner opened the door and walked in. “Mark, let's have lunch together at noon!” Kathleen Turner said. But when she saw Neil Isaac, she smiled at him. She had seen Neil Isaac once before, but she did not make much contact with him. She knew that Mark Pattinson had many friends with complicated backgrounds. So, she never asked Mark Pattinson about his personal matters. When she saw Kathleen Turner, he just nodded as a form of greeting without saying anything. “Gentleman, let's have lunch together!” Kathleen Turner said softly, trying to act generously. Mark Pattinson turned around and glanced at Neil Isaac, “Let's go together!” Neil Isaac did not refuse and nodded. So, three people walked towards the door. Coincidently, Lyla and Lily were walking down the stairs. Neil Isaac saw Lyla as soon as he stepped out of the office. Although there was a little difference in her clothing, he could recognize her at a glance. Neil Isaac smiled with a gasp, “The real person is more beautiful and charming!” As he spoke, his gaze landed on Lyla. Mark Pattinson also raised his eyes and looked in her direction. Today, Lyla wore nine-point shorts lined with a white chiffon shirt. She also wore a small watermelon red jacket to match her high heels. These high heels had the same colour as her jacket, and were pure looking but not eye-catching. She emulated a lot of self-confidence in her whole aura, providing comfort to people around her. Lyla and Lily were talking and laughing as they walked. They met up with Mark Pattinson unexpectedly. “Mr. Pattinson!” Lyla greeted him faintly. "Yes!" Mark Pattinson also responded faintly. The attitude of the two was neither warm nor cold. Lyla did not want to say anything further and was about to take her leave with Lily. At this moment, Neil Isaac gazed at her and walked up to greet her. “Greetings, Ms. Lowe!” Lyla took a glance at Neil Isaac. He was really a very delicate and pretty gentleman. His every move revealed a sense of elegance. Birds of a feather flock together. Friends of Mark Pattinson could not be that bad. Although he was very handsome, Lyla was sure that he did not know him. “Hello.” Lyla nodded slightly. The two of them did not know what they had just said. Mark Pattinson stood at the side, watching them with an extremely cold face; his eyes flared with fury. 'How could this woman be so happy and all-smiles in front of anyone? When she came face-to-face with him, she always put on a masked look?’ Neil Isaac gazed at her, “What if Ms. Lowe had lunch together with us?!” Lyla also smiled, "Forget it, someone will be uncomfortable if I go. So, I'm not going!" Lyla refused his invitation directly. Neil Isaac laughed at her straightforwardness. Of course, he knew the person she was referring to was Kathleen Turner. But her straightforwardness was comforting to people around her. He admired such a special woman. “All right, next time!” Lyla nodded and she did not understand what he meant by 'next time'! At this time, Mark Pattinson walked up towards her. Lyla smiled and said, "Okay, we're going for lunch. We better not disturb you!" Upon finishing speaking, she took Lily and left. Lily followed Lyla with a little excitement, “Lyla, that man is so handsome. He could be on a par with Mr. Pattinson!” “Not as good!” “In what aspect?” “Character-wise!” … Lily could not explain why she liked Lyla's mean words. The way she said them was full of love. Mark Pattinson gazed at Lyla's back and wished that she could come with them. Kathleen Turner also looked at Lyla. She felt reluctant to meet Lyla's gaze. She kept wondering where Lyla got her enchanting gaze from. Neil Isaac had never taken the initiative to speak to her! As Mark Pattinson’s girlfriend, she was very jealous. For what reason could she be able to talk to Mark Pattinson's friends like that? Jealousy was always a hidden spot. If there was a spark, it could be ignited right away! ^^^^^^^^^^^^ After she finished eating, Lyla returned to the office and began working. Kathleen Turner stormed into the office. “Bounce” … A pile of documents was stacked up in front of her. “Ms. Lowe, could you please get this contract signed now!” Kathleen Turner said condescendingly. Her arrogant look was really upsetting. Lyla did not bother about her. She picked up the document, looked at it and said, “Ms. Turner, this is not the case I am responsible for!” Kathleen Turner raised her brows lazily, “I know that you are not responsible for this case. But, is there a problem if I order you to take care of it? Or is Ms. Lowe not competent enough to do the job?” Kathleen Turner was deliberately making things difficult for her. She could not wait to use this opportunity to drive Lyla away! Lyla raised her brows and did not wish to argue further with her. She closed the document and said, “No problem!” Kathleen Turner glared at her without saying anything and turned away. At this time, Lily came over and took a look at the document. Then, she closed the document angrily, “What does she mean? You are a designer. How could she treat you as her personal assistant?” Lyla smiled, “She’s the boss!” “That wench is hypocritical!” Lily could not help but speak up. Lyla smiled and did not say anything. She tidied up the documents and left the company. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ After leaving the company, Lyla walked towards the bus stop. Before she arrived at the bus stop, she realized that someone was staring at her from behind. As she looked back, she could not see anyone. She walked and felt someone following her. A crease appeared between Lyla's brows. Could it be her own imagination? By coincidence, Lyla walked to a crossroad and her cell phone started ringing. Lyla picked up the call without knowing who the caller was. “Hello!” “Is me!” Upon hearing the voice, Lyla could tell it was the voice of Thomas Rodney, “Is there anything I could help you with, Ms. Lowe?” “Where are you?” “I am outside now…Ah…BANG!” Before Lyla could finish speaking, her phone had slammed onto the ground. Mark Pattinson, who was also on the phone call, felt a heart throb as her voice faded away. “Hey, Lyla? Lyla?” Mark Pattinson shouted several times into the phone, but the other party had fallen silent. He was shocked and wondered what had just happened! In the next moment, he stood up suddenly and shouted, “Ellis Morris, come in!”
