"Bella.... What do you mean by finding a company?!" Helena was stupified again.
"Yeah. I'll work for companies... that are their enemies but our allies. I'm planning to take down both the businesses of Dubois and Romano families. What? You got some problem?" Isabella questioned. Her gaze menacing and her voice bone chilling.
"...." Helena wanted to say something but those words instinctively got stuck onto the tips of her lips. Her throat turned dry with a ball of words obstructing her from swallowing.
'A fairy-like girl changed into a terrifying she devil' Helena could only suppress her inner emotions and comply with her friend's orders.
Helena gulped down her glass of wine at once to calm herself. She then took out her mobile to show Isabella something.
Isabella was sipping on her wine while rubbing on her tensed brows when a picture was pushed into her line of sight.
Isabella noticed the woman in the picture and the headline written on the top of the picture and almost got choked on her wine. She coughed for a few seconds before collecting herself. She put aside her wine glass and took the mobile from Helena's hand and scanned the woman while zooming the picture in and out.
"See... you can't even imagine how much that woman has progressed? You think she'll let you have your way. She will kick us out onto the roads with a single flick..." Helena said shaking her head and sighed closing her eyes.
"Margaret? She did change a lot. But still beautiful" Isabella said with innocent eyes handing the mobile back to Helena.
Hearing Isabella's undeniable words, Helena's jaw dropped.
'Her beauty is not the point here, Bella' Helena felt like crying.
'Where's did my smartass friend go??...wuwuwu..' Helena wished if she had a chance to cut open her friend's brain, she would surely open it and connect her circuits properly.
Both the friends had a little discussion before going to bed.
...
"Bella... wake up" Helena reached out to pull the blanket covering Isabella's body. She had been trying to wake this woman for the past ten minutes, but the woman on the bed was like a dead log.
Isabella was still sleepy and rolled to the other side.
"Aunt Helena, Don't bother waking her. She won't wake up at least for a good few hours. You can go ahead with your work. I'll look after her" the little pie said casually from behind.
Helena was dumbfounded hearing the little one's words. Her words sounded as though she's the mother and Isabella was the child.
Helena was already stunned seeing Isabella's oversleeping like a child where her four-year daughter woke up on time and took care of all her morning activities like a pro. Now the child's saying she can look after her sleep headed mother.
'This child's something. So understanding at that small age. Must be that strange man's traits' Helena smiled looking at the child with admiration.
"No.... darling. Your mom's got some important work as well. She can't be late" Helena tried to explain to the little girl. Isabella truly had an important work to attend in a few hours.
"Hmm...alright. Aunt Helena then I'll have to trouble you to prepare a glass of banana milkshake" the little one said in a calm voice walking towards the bed. She pressed her tiny palm on her mother's forehead lightly to see her mother's condition.
"Banana milkshake...?!" Helena looked at the child with a doubtful face. She already prepared a good meal for the child as breakfast.
She didn't understand why the girl's asking for a milkshake suddenly.
"Mom had too much alcohol last night, right? She gets severe headache after waking up. Banana and milk work well for hangover..so please help me" the little girl said unhurriedly.
'Oh my God....This child's brain....' Helena gaped at the little girl. She couldn't adjust herself to this child's way of thinking and intelligence.
She could only help the child in making a banana shake silently and get a proper explanation later from Isabella.
Helena never heard about Isabella's low alcohol tolerance because she never saw her drinking before and merely thought Isabella was avoiding alcohol due to her concern towards health.
But she couldn't understand how much ruckus Isabella made back in America after drinking even for this little girl to notice her weak tolerance levels.
While Helena's making the banana shake, the little one patted Isabella's face with her little warm palm waking her from deep sleep. Isabella mumbled something while fiddling on the bed but still continued sleeping soundly like a lazy dog.
The little one lost her patience and used her thumb and index finger to open her mother's eye just like a doctor checking on her patient.
With continuous disturbance to her sleep, Isabella jolted up with irritation and glared to her sides.
Seeing her daughter's cute face, Isabella calmed herself and yawned before cuddling her child closely.
"Mom....you should wake up" the little one said patting Isabella's back to make her sober.
"Okay...my dear" Isabella released her child and immediately got up from the bed and ran into the bathroom to show her daughter that she was clearly awake.
The little child smiled looking at her mother's cuteness and thought 'My mom's the best'
Isabella washed up and drank the shake made by Helena under her daughter's order.
Isabella had breakfast while watching the morning news on the television.
Helena asked Isabella with curiosity "Bella....Your meeting starts at 10 AM. But, who will look after Tina baby till you finish your work?"
"It's just a small meeting anyway, I can take her with me" Isabella answered nonchalantly.
"Hey, I'll take her with me to my office. What do you say?" Helena asked.
Helena lost contact with Isabella all these years and got into contact recently.
She could finally have some private talk with the child and know more about the child's habits and also about Isabella's life in America.
"No, I can't trouble you. Moreover, my baby's so good and intelligent she can take care of herself for a few minutes. What do you think? Can you do that for me?" Isabella turned to look at her daughter.
"Yes, Mommy. I can take care of myself" the little one nodded her head obediently.
'Is this what people call keeping each other in control?' Helena looked at the mother and daughter duo in bewilderment.
