Chapter 162: Better Than Edward

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

"Yeah, you were anyway on the guest list" Mia added.

"Sure, I'll attend this party." Isaac promised them, but he kept looking at Carol, who was being anxious every time Isaac looked at her.

"Excuse me" Carol excused herself and headed to the ladies' washroom as she was feeling suffocated sitting there especially in Isaac's presence. She couldn't take it anymore, she wanted some space and a place where she can breathe properly.

After a few minutes, Isaac's phone rang.

"Excuse me, can't avoid this call" Isaac politely said and left from there.

Chance discreetly cut the call, he just made to Isaac.

The other six people just continued conversing while Samantha looked in the direction Isaac went out to.

She then looked at Edward, who too was looking at Isaac's retreating back.

Sensing Samantha's gaze, Edwin looked at her.

'He feels suspicious' Samantha tried to communicate with her eyes, to which Edwin nodded his head, implying he too finds this guy suspicious.

Carol was washing her face, to calm herself down. After cleaning her wet face, she was heading towards the exit door when suddenly Isaac entered in and she took a few steps back, startled by his sudden appearance.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Carol shouted at him.

"What kind of a silly question is that? This whole hotel is mine; I can go wherever I want. I don't need anyone's permission and neither am I answerable for my actions" Isaac calmly answered her, taking slow steps towards Carol, while she was stepping back until her back touched the wall.

"Isaac, still, you being" 

"Shhh" He was now standing in front of her and he placed his finger on her lips to stop her from talking.

Carol's nervousness was again shot up and she was not sure what to do and how to react.

"Why the fuck are you dating that loser? Why are you destroying your life?" Isaac directly questioned her not wasting his time in pleasantries.

His eyes looked so sad that Carol felt bad for him.

"Isaac I met him last week. He is nice" Carol was stuttering while speaking, she was not sure what exactly she wants to say, but she tried to explain herself.

"He is not nice; he is a fucking gold digger" Isaac shouted at Carol to make her see the truth.

"Hey, you just met him. How can you accuse him without knowing him properly?" Carol composed herself and she retorted back.

"Because there is no Howard working in that company. I don't even know anyone who works in the Warner Music Company. I just made that up and his response implies, he clearly lied" Isaac revealed the truth to her, surprising Carol.

She was silent for a few seconds, as she couldn't believe what Isaac was saying.

After a few seconds, she finally spoke, "You are just jealous so you are making up all of this."

Isaac chuckled when he heard her accusation.

"If you ask me, was I ever jealous of Chance when you rejected me for him? I would accept it. I was indeed jealous of him but this gold digger you are with, he is not worthy of anything, not even my jealousy" Isaac turned serious and Carol was not sure what to say.

Isaac was more handsome than Edward and obviously richer. In every aspect Isaac was better than Edward, he really had no reason to be jealous of him.

"Whatever" Carol tried to leave from there but Isaac held her arm and pulled her towards him.

"Isaac, behave yourself" Carol softly shouted at him.

"You said you will never get over Chance, and therefore you can never accept my feelings. Then why are you on a date with that gold digger? What suddenly changed?" Isaac finally asked her the question that has been bothering him.

Isaac and Carol were childhood friends. He was Lucas' best friend and used to hang out with him a lot, therefore he used to spend a lot of time around Carol too.

Over the time, he developed feelings for Carol and Lucas too was aware of it.

But Carol rejected him as she was in love with Chance.

Although Isaac was heartbroken, he knew love can't be forced on anyone so he gracefully accepted her decision and decided to live with this harsh truth.

Ultimately he just wanted Carol to be happy, no matter the pain he had to go through for that.

When Chance informed him, he has no such feelings for Carol and would never accept her, Isaac felt bad for Carol instead of feeling happy for himself.

Nevertheless, he didn't pursue her and let her try to be with Chance as ultimately her happiness is what mattered to him than anything else.

Today, Chance contacted him again and asked him for a favor. He requested Isaac to come to his restaurant as David intentionally booked a table here and informed him everything about Edward, Carol's date.

Isaac was shocked after knowing Lucas' killer was here trying to kill Chance and on top of that, he was also using Carol for his ulterior motive. Isaac couldn't take all of this and promised to help Chance and do whatever he wishes for him to do.

Although, Carol had feelings for Chance, Isaac never had anything against him. Rather, Chance was always supportive of Isaac and assured him, he would never get involved with Carol and eventually she would end up coming to Isaac. Although, Isaac never believed Carol will be with him, he somewhere hoped for that to happen.

That was the kind of bond these men shared.

So, when Chance asked him to come here, Isaac dropped by leaving all his work behind.

Now, he was supposed to help Carol realize, she is with the wrong man. That's one favor Chance asked him to do as he was worried about Carol being around a dangerous guy.
