My Evil Stepson System

Chapter 210 210. Isabelle 2.

Kevin smiled to himself at the system\'s words. And just like the system said, Kevin now understood why they were left alone to get \'acquainted\' with each other in the hall.

At first, her claim that she was sorry for not inviting Kevin personally tonight was understandable.

The time, venue and nature of the auction were meant to be kept a secret, away from the general public.

To show how important the chosen invitees were, the presidents of both Baratheon Limited and Dynamo Bottling Company were the individuals tasked with handing out the invitations directly.

Only on a few occasions were the vice presidents given the responsibility of handing out the invitations.

But in actuality, this was nothing more than a formality.

Of all the invitees present in the hall tonight, not a single one of them received the invitation directly from either Ned or Isabelle.

Each and every one of them received the invitation from either Ned or Isabelle\'s second in command.

Even though Kevin knew this, he acted as though he didn\'t, so as to play along with what Isabelle had in mind.

But the one thing he found odd was how Isabelle was willing to use the relationship between Kevin and Jon as an excuse to get to know more about him.

Now he was certain that Isabelle and her husband were up to something, but what exactly it was, he still couldn\'t figure it out.

Kevin decided that he would have to be a little bit patient to find out what it was.

"So? What do you say?" Isabelle demanded a response to the question she asked earlier.

"Since the most beautiful lady in the city is inviting me to have dinner with her, of course, I\'ll be willing to accept her request. In fact, I\'ll be happy to do whatever she demands of me."

The corner of Isabelle\'s lips widened into a smile. "I never knew Mr Kevin was not only a brilliant investor but also a sweet talker."

Kevin smiled in return as he heard Isabelle\'s words.

"Is that so? It appears I can\'t help myself when I\'m standing next to a woman whose beauty rivals even that of a goddess."

Isabelle\'s cheeks reddened and she smiled once again. "Now, I\'m certain Mr Kevin is only trying to tease..."

Isabelle was just about to express how she felt about Kevin teasing her with his smooth words when Kevin\'s next words abruptly stopped her from saying anything else.

"Oh no."

"What is it?" Isabelle asked with worry on her face. She found it odd for Kevin to suddenly interrupt her while she was still talking.

"It appears I\'ve spent more time here than I intended to. I have to be in a meeting first thing tomorrow morning and I can\'t afford to not get adequate sleep before tomorrow\'s meeting."

"I understand. I\'m sorry for wasting your time with.....," Isabelle expressed her regret for keeping Kevin with her longer than he had intended to stay by requesting forgiveness for her selfish act.

But before she could lower her head in disappointment at what she had done, Kevin took two steps towards her and wrapped his arm around her waist while using his other hand to slowly raise her head up by her chin.

This was the first time Isabelle had gotten really close to Kevin and due to the proximity between them, she could see his face even more clearly.

Not only was Kevin\'s sapphire blue eyes glistening in the dark, but his face was also a lot more handsome than it had been a second ago, and it seemed to be glowing right in front of her as well.

Had this man always been this handsome??

How is his face glowing right now??

Is this some kind of dream or something??

These thoughts coursed through Isabelle\'s mind but she was left spellbound by Kevin\'s words and action when his arm pulled her closer to him, squashing her bountiful assets against his chest while his thumb teased her beautiful red lips.

"There\'s nothing you have to feel sorry for. If anyone is to be blamed, it should be me for not spending more time with the angel standing in front of me."

Isabelle was left enthralled by the words coming out of Kevin\'s lips. His voice was like a melodious tune she could never get tired of listening to.

Unknowingly to her, she and Kevin\'s face were now inches away from each other with her lips only seconds away from making contact with his.

But Kevin suddenly pulled his head back, denying Isabelle the taste of his lips.

A taste she had suddenly developed the urge to have without her even recalling when this sudden urge started in the first place.

"I\'ll be expecting your call, Mrs Isabelle."

"Please, call me Isabelle," Isabelle muttered like a girl standing face to face with the first love of her life.

She felt like a teenager in love, who couldn\'t see anything around her except for the man standing before her.

Kevin smiled as he heard Isabelle say those words, knowing that this was due to the erotic gas he had been releasing ever since they stepped out to the veranda.

"Okay, Isabelle, whenever you\'re ready to have dinner with me, just let me know," Kevin stated as he let go of her chin and walked into the hall before heading out of the manor.

Meanwhile, Isabelle\'s feet remained planted on the ground with her hand curled on her chest as her heart continued to beat rapidly even though Kevin was no longer standing in front of her.

Isabelle couldn\'t understand this weird feeling she was experiencing.

Never in her lifetime would she have willingly allowed a man to wrap his arm around her waist or even place his finger on her lips. However, why did she allow this man to do all these things to her without her even showing the slightest bit of disgust?
