Chapter 167: Exam Day

Isabella emerged from the exam hall with a frown on her face, her heart still pounding with the anxiety of the exam. She, too hated mathematics with a vengeance like her best friend and while Nora was smart enough to excel in it after some learning, she was really hopeless.

And yet, Nora would be able to drop the subject next month while she would still be stuck with the subject because she needed to inherit the family business in the future! Why couldn’t her brother run the business alone? She had no idea!

As she remained lost in thought, her eyes fell upon someone leaning against a car, a little further away. Even from the distance, her hot guy radar had been activated immediately.

"Ooohh hot guy+ hot car. I can almost taste the romance in my near future." Almost rubbing her hands in anticipation, Isabelle made her way towards the person, ready to introduce herself and make a new friend.

However, she barely reached the person when she paused. This person looked familiar. Had she seen him somewhere? Scowling since she couldn’t remember seeing such an eye candy earlier, she stared hard. Maybe he looked familiar because he was dressed like the classic bad boy with those tight-fitting jeans and that jacket. Even though it wasn’t the traditional leather jacket, she had to give credit to the man for pulling off that dangerous look.

And that is when it struck her! Dangerous... Dam*! This was Demon Frost in the flesh. Oohh. She thought all those suits made him look sweltering but right now, she could curse the person who invented suits. It was a crime for her brother-in-law to wear anything other than such jeans.

"No wonder that girl would not look anywhere else. She’s already bagged this specimen of man..."

With a grin, she decided that it was time for revenge from two days ago. The Lord was kind, presenting her with such an opportunity. Perfect.

With a mischievous glint in her eye and a playful smirk on her lips, Isabella decided to seize the opportunity to tease Demetri and make him feel a little uncomfortable. She sauntered over to him, her stride oozing confidence, and her brown eyes locked onto his.

"Hey there, Mr. Frost" Isabella purred as she approached Demetri, her voice dripping with seductive charm.

Demetri looked up surprised at being recognized. His brows furrowed when he did not recognize the woman, so he simply nodded politely.

Isabella inched closer to the man, invading his personal space with a playful, teasing grin. "You know, I’ve heard so much about you, Demon Frost. But we’ve never had the chance to meet until now."

Erasmi Frost raised an eyebrow, clearly understanding the circumstances now. So he was being hit upon by this beauty because he had been mistaken for Demon? But the only girl who would be familiar with Demetri’s identity should be Nora’s best friend...Erasmi frowned, trying to think of the name something called Isa... Isabella!

Grinning, he answered back, "I’ve heard about you too, Isabella," he replied,

Isabella’s fingers traced a nonchalant path up his arm, her body language inviting him into the playful exchange. "Really? What have you heard, Demetri? Is it all bad?"

Erasmi could almost feel his eyebrows disappearing into his head! A lot of things had changed over the past decade but this was the first time he had been approached by a woman so directly. And the fact that the said woman happened to be assuming he was not him but her best friends’ husband? Man... This was all kinds of screwed.

Erasmi narrowed his eyes. Since he was here to officially meet Nora, he might as well expose her friend’s true colours.

"I hadn’t heard anything bad... but if you want to tell me, I am all years." Erasmi leaned forward, bringing his ear close to her lips, almost shocking Isabella.

This was not what she had expected! Demetri Frost should have shrugged her off! Or he should have done what he was famour for, frozen her off? But this shameless man was actually flirting right back with her, despite knowing that she was Nora’s best friend! Dam* it! She should have known that Nora was not a good judge of character and shouldn’t have trusted her judgement about Demetri being a decent man! The man was a decent ba*tard!

Since she had been given the opportunity, she would expose this man’s true colours. Her poor Nora was going to be so heartbroken! And that too, just before her birthday! Scu*bag! In her heart, she muttered a few curses against the man which may or may not have included him stepping on a banana peel and breaking his legs.

But outwardly, she kept her coy smile and leaned closer to his ear. The man had beautiful ears! He should be fed to the dogs!

Surreptitiously, Isabelle turned on her phone to the recording mode and continued, and her voice turned sultrier as she spoke, "You know, Demetri, I’ve always found you... intriguing."

Erasmi couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of amusement at the situation. He had been mistaken for his twin brother many times, but this encounter with Isabella was certainly one for the books.

"Is that so?" he replied, his voice dropping to a low, suggestive tone. "And what is it about me that you find so intriguing, Isabella?"

Isabella’s heart pounded as she felt herself drawn further into the playful dance of words and desire. She bit her lip, her eyes locked onto his, and whispered, "Well, it’s your confidence, your mystery, and... your undeniable charm."

Isabella’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she shot back, "Flattery will get you everywhere, Demetri. But what else do you have up your sleeve?"

Erasmi chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "You’re quite the charmer yourself, Isabella. But I must admit, I’m flattered by your compliments."

Isabella felt her heart flutter and she almost forgot that she was supposed to expose this scumbag! She could feel the chemistry sizzling in the air and was ashamed of herself. How could she feel attracted to someone like that. Angry, she pulled away from the man and glared at him.

Just then a voice spoke up," What is going on?"

Erasmi leaned in even closer, his lips almost brushing against Isabella’s ear. "Well, Isabella, I can’t reveal all my secrets just yet. Some mysteries are best left unsolved."
