Chapter 25: But, I already have a boyfriend
At the center of the square the following night, Isabella stood in her crisp white dress.
Her legs, elegantly wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, were accentuated by high heels. She held her bag in her hand and stood by the roadside, looking into the distance.
Under the evening afterglow, this beautiful girl naturally caught the attention of passersby.
She glanced at her watch and murmured with a hint of confusion, "It's almost eight in the evening, why hasn't Alexander come yet?"
Just as she finished her words, two hands suddenly reached out from behind, encircling her waist.
Isabella exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"
She swiftly turned her head, only to see a girl with a mischievous smile on her face. She then let out a sigh of relief, saying with a touch of complaint, "Lucy, you scared me!"
The girl named Lucy, smiling naughtily, looked Isabella up and down before grabbing her hand affectionately and said, "Our Isabella is so pretty today, if I were a man, I'd want to eat you up right now!"
Isabella's face turned red, stuttering, "Whe...where did that come from..."
Lucy giggled and leaned into Isabella's ear, whispering, "Tell me quietly, who did you dress up for today? Is it for James?"
Isabella was taken aback, "James?"
Lucy chuckled, "Don't pretend. Don't you know? James has always liked you! And I heard, not only is James a Psychic, his father is an elder of the Psychic Association. Aren't you moved?"
Isabella gently brushed her fringe behind her ear, took a deep breath and said, "Lucy, you're overthinking it. I just see him as a normal friend, nothing more."
"Really?" Lucy expressed her doubts. Then, her eyes twinkled mischievously as she said, "Then who are you all dolled up for? Who's the man of your heart?"
Isabella was taken aback, her face turning bright red as she quickly said, "You... don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing Isabella's expression, Lucy's face gradually turned serious, saying, "Isabella, we're good friends, so there are some things I need to tell you. James isn't as simple as you see on the surface. Countless women dream of marrying him. Don't ignore his good intentions..."
Isabella frowned, not particularly liking Lucy's remarks.
Just then, a white Mercedes sports car slowly pulled up nearby. The window rolled down to reveal a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, looking graceful and elegant. He smiled at Isabella, then opened the car door and stepped out.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Isabella's eyes lit up instantly. She quickly walked over and laughed heartily, "That's okay, I haven't waited long. You seem to look even younger today."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment. You look very beautiful today," Alexander smiled slightly, "Go in first, I'll park the car and join you in a bit."
"Wait a second." Isabella ran up to Alexander's window, bent over and said, "Could you pretend to be my boyfriend later, please?"
"What are you talking about?" Alexander looked at her, puzzled.
At that moment, Lucy caught up with Isabella, and she pulled Isabella up, chiding, "Let's go inside. Don't talk to strange men, or James will be upset."
Then, under Lucy's guidance, Isabella walked into Caesar's Bar.
Alexander didn't say much, he drove the car into the square's inner parking lot.
By the time Alexander parked the car, Isabella had already entered Caesar's Bar.
Even before she stepped into the main hall of the bar, she heard rounds of cheers echoing around her. Isabella looked up to see the bar turned into a sea of flowers and balloons.
Eighteen gorgeously dressed women formed a heart shape, each holding a bouquet of roses that looked dazzling under the lights.
In the center was a young man, tall, handsome, and stylishly dressed in British fashion.
This young man was James, a Psychic, whose power was a very sinister skill: mind control.
As long as he used this ability, any girl would willingly become his slave.
James had been pursuing Isabella for a while. The moment he laid eyes on her, he was filled with intense desire to possess her.
However, to his surprise, Isabella was also a Psychic, and she had the ability to resist mind control.
Now, James had manipulated Lucy and lured Isabella to Caesar's Bar, with the intention of pursuing her in a different way.
It was clearly a confession scene.
"Snap!"
James snapped his fingers, and the eighteen women simultaneously presented eighteen exquisite gift boxes. Inside each box was a dazzling diamond.
The crowd began to scream, it was too romantic and luxurious.
"Eighteen diamonds, how much are they worth, that's so generous."
"No wonder he's James, so rich."
"He's a real estate tycoon here, how could he not have money?"
People in the bar quickly recognized James, causing an uproar.
James's company wasn't top-tier in the Americas, but he was worth billions and was considered a local tycoon.
It was indeed a great honor to be the woman he took a fancy to.
The surrounding exclamations and astonishment made James's smile even more confident. He didn't believe any woman could refuse such a romantic gesture, not even Isabella.
"Isabella, please accept me. You should be able to understand my genuine feelings for you." James held out a rose passionately in front of Isabella. His handsome face, in addition to ardor, also revealed eager anticipation.
This made the onlookers exclaim in admiration, "Look, look, they are so matched, truly a pair of talented and beautiful couple."
As for the few women who had long been secretly in love with James, they looked on with melancholic eyes. "Isabella, you really don't know how lucky you are. If I were you..."
Lucy also showed an envious look, her long legs wrapped in black stockings rubbing against each other: "Mr. James, you are so partial. When will you treat me like you treat Isabella?"
James laughed, "Haha, don't worry. Once I win Isabella over, I'll show my gratitude to you. I'll let you taste what my semen tastes like."
"Really? That's great, Master James, you better not break your promise!" Lucy said excitedly.
Isabella felt a chill...
She didn't expect that Lucy, who has always had a good relationship with her, would now become like this, as if she had become another person.
At this moment, James knelt on one knee with a rose in his hand, and said passionately to Isabella: "Isabella, marry me, I will make you happy."
This scene caused another round of screaming from Lucy and the others, expressing envy of Isabella's good fortune.
Then dozens of men and women shouted together: "Accept him, accept him!"
"Thank you!"
At this point, Isabella's face was icy cold, very repulsed by James's hypocrisy:
"This flower... you should give it to the girl who loves you, like Lucy."
"Lucy? What does she count as? She's not worthy," James said with a face full of disdain.
"But, I already have a boyfriend!" Isabella said.
Even though James looked young and handsome, Isabella didn't feel anything for him at all.
Lucy's face darkened, and she said with a slightly threatening tone, "Isabella, don't be capricious, seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"It's impossible, haven't you always been alone? When did you get a boyfriend?"James was still unrelenting, loudly saying, "Only an excellent man like me is worthy of you."
Isabella gradually lost her patience: "I will say it again, I already have a boyfriend, please do not bother me."
James still had a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter if you have a boyfriend, because I love you from the bottom of my heart."
Lucy and the other girls around James began to shed tears of emotion:
"Isabella, you are really so lucky! You must have saved the galaxy in your last life."
"Yes, to be loved by James, you're absolutely winning."
"Marry him! Marry him!"
The other companions also clapped their hands: "Marry him! Marry him!"
Isabella clenched her fists slightly and shouted:
"James, can't you understand human speech? I have a boyfriend, and I don't like you."
