My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 161: Isaac Bennet

At the decided time, the eight people met at the seven-star hotel where David booked a table for eight.

All couples sat next to each other around the circular table.

"I am glad, we made a plan and sticked with it" Abigail raised her wine glass as their impromptu plans barely make it to execution.

"Touch" David too raised his glass.

"Chance, I am assuming you would be going to office tomorrow?" Mia asked him.

"Yeah, I'll manage San Diego's branch from the main branch" Chance informed her as he decided to work from his office, until he is here.

"Samantha, do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Mia asked her.

"Umm, nothing actually" Samantha honestly answered.

"Great, tomorrow let's go out. I will show you around New York. We can go to their office too. It is damn big and amazing" Mia suggested excitedly.

Samantha politely smiled seeing her enthusiasm.

"Hey, you don't have to take a day off from work, for my sake" Samantha tried to avoid this plan.

"Don't worry, I have my own designer place. I can take a day off and I also need to visit the office tomorrow, to discuss about the upcoming party. Meanwhile, I can show you around New York"

Samantha gave up and didn't refuse as Mia was putting lot of efforts to make her feel comfortable, "Sure, thank you so much"

Just then a man dressed in a black suit suddenly appeared there, "Oh my god, I can't believe the whole gang is here" The handsome, tall man, who just arrived there commented. His eyes then travelled over every person at the table. 

He smirked when he saw Samantha, which confused her as she had no idea who he was and he was smiling at her as if he knows her.

Then he looked at Edward and smiled at him the same way he smiled at Samantha.

Even Edwin wondered who this guy is.

"Seems like two new people have been added in your group" The man exclaimed.

"Hey Isaac, how are you? It has been so long since we saw you." Chance smiled at the new man who greeted them.

"Hey Isaac, so good to see you" Abigail excitedly exclaimed.

"Yeah, where have you been for so long, seems you were too busy?" David questioned him.

"Yeah, after being rejected by the love of my life, I busied myself with work" Isaac answered David but for a brief second he glanced at Carol with a faint smile on his lips.

Carol avoided looking at him and nervously drank some wine from her glass.

"The love of your life, who?" Mia asked him.

"Mia, don't make him uncomfortable" David stopped Mia from asking Isaac personal questions.

"What are you doing here?" Jack casually asked him.

"I was here for some business meeting, just got done with it and was leaving but I saw you all, so dropped by to greet the gang"

"Why don't you join us if you are free?" Chance suggested.

"I would love that, but if anyone doesn't wish for my presence, I can leave" Isaac again looked at Carol, who was clearly feeling uncomfortable in his presence but she didn't say a word.

"What man? You and your jokes. Come, join us" Jack invited him and a waiter was asked to add a new chair around the table.

Meanwhile, Chance introduced Samantha and Isaac to each other.

"Samantha, he is Isaac Bennet. He owns this seven-star hotel we are currently in and owns multiple chain of high-end restaurants. He is also a friend of Lucas" Chance introduced Isaac and then he looked at Isaac, who was standing near them as they were waiting for the waiter to add a new chair.

"Isaac, please meet Samantha, my girlfriend." Chance introduced Samantha.

"Oh, the woman for whom you moved across the country and shifted to San Diego, if I am not wrong" Isaac smiled at Samantha and forwarded his hand to shake hands with her.

Then he held Samantha's hand and bent a little to kiss the back of her hand. All this while, he kept looking at her with a faint smirk painted on his lips.

Samantha was confused at his attitude and found it weird but she didn't say a word.

Isaac then sat on the chair added for him, which was coincidentally opposite to Carol and Edward.

"How do you know she is the one for whom I shifted to San Diego? Except for my close friends no one else is aware of it?" Chance questioned him with a faint smile on his face.

"I know everything, Chance. I keep updates on everyone" Isaac smirked at him and added, "But I don't know who this new guy is" Isaac looked at Edward.

"That's Edward, Carol's date" Chance formally introduced Edward too.

"Wow, date?" Isaac raised his eyebrow at Carol, who again felt awkward under his gaze that she continued to avoid him.

"I am happy for you, Carol" Isaac added.

"Th Thank you" Carol said with hesitation.

Isaac's gaze then moved towards Edward.

"So, Edward. What do you do?" Isaac asked him graciously holding his glass of champagne.

'Why they are all interested in my profession?' Edwin frustratedly thought but with a smile he said, "I am a guitarist in Warner Music Company"

"Oh really? You might be knowing Howard then. He is the lead guitarist. You must be working under him" Isaac asked him and others were not surprised as Isaac had many friends. He had a wide network of contacts.

"Yes, you are right" Edward just acted along.

"What a great guitarist, Howard is right?" Isaac asked him.

"True, he is an inspiration to we all. He taught me a lot of things. Good critic he is" Edward added a few things to strengthen his lie.

"Hmm" Isaac just hummed and asked them all what was up with them and what's new in their lives. 

David then informed him of the party they would be throwing in Lucas' memory and invited him.
