Chapter 645 - Six Hundred And Forty-Five: This Was His Little Lie (2/2)
”Well, I'm funding the obstetrician department on their latest medical research, ” Isabella lied through her teeth without blinking her eyes.
She was a meticulous person and had prepared beforehand for a moment like this. Even if Pedro did a search behind her, he wouldn't find anything about her pregnancy. Not that Pedro would look into it anyway, she knew he trusted her.
”And you?” Isabella asked and noticed a slight hesitation in his tone. Something was wrong.
”Oh, about that,” Pedro internally scolded himself for hesitating, what if Isabella got suspicious?
”The director of the hospital is my friend, although you might not remember him but you met him once at the campus,” Pedro said to her.
”I only remember necessary people, so I surely don't remember him, '' Isabella replied.
”Oh, I'm grateful you don't,” Pedro confessed inwardly.
”Anyway,” He went on, knowing that Isabella would need a lot of explanation to keep her mind off this case, ”We met up and I took the chance to have a general body checkup. Our wedding is fast approaching and I'm sure you don't want me getting sick,”
”Of course,” Isabella said and kissed him on the cheeks. She then readjusted his tie in front of everyone that cared to look, ”So you're leaving for the office?”
”Yes,” Pedro said, ”And do you mind going on a date with me, tonight, miss Isabella,” He grinned at her.
”Of course, I do want to go on a date with you, Mr. Pedro,” She grinned as well.
”So you don't mind if I drive you to your office?” he offered.
”Unfortunately, yes” Isabella refused politely, ”I have to drop by somewhere - wedding preparations - before leaving for the company,”
”Alright, I'll see you tonight then,” He said.
”Me too,”
Pedro then kissed her one more time before leaving.
As soon as he walked through the revolving doors, the smile on Isabella's face vanished.
”Jean,” Isabella called.
”Yes,” He stepped closer to her, having sensed an errand coming.
”keep tabs on Pedro, I want to know what's bothering my husband to be,” There was a hint of menace in her tone.
