Welcome To My Life novel Chapter 2

Hamish wasn’t a very generous person, but he wasn’t a stingy person either.

They were together for 3 years and he gave her many expensive gifts. Now that their relationship ended, Isobel didn’t know what to do with the gifts.

She then met Yasmin Williams when she was fretting over the issue. She was the girlfriend of Freddie Kennedy, Hamish’s best friend.

Yasmin was a famous purchasing agent on social media. Isobel never opened or used the gifts from Hamish, she would tear open the wrapping slightly and glance at it, and then she would put it away. The branded handbags and jewellery were all as good as new.

Isobel asked for Yasmin’s help directly and promised to give her 10% of the revenue from the sale.

Yasmin did the calculation in her mind and the 10% would be at least 4-5 hundred thousand. She was really excited on the inside even though it wasn’t showing on her face, “Isobel, you are being a stranger. We are friends, and we should help each other when in need. There’s no need to talk about giving revenue or whatnot.”

Isobel smiled, “Indeed we are friends, but I can’t just make you help me without giving you anything in return. I’ll be bothering you with this for a while. I’ll pack the stuff and bring them to you in two days.”

Yasmin didn’t refuse the offer. They agreed on a time and went their own way.

Two days later, Yasmin brought Freddie with her as her mule. She expected Isobel to have a lot of stuff, but she was still shocked and a bit envious when she saw 3 big boxes filled with luxurious goods. “There’s so many of it, aren’t you going to leave some for yourself?”

Isobel shook her head, “No.”

These never belonged to her, the joke would be on her if she kept these for herself.

“Freddie, come quick and get these boxes onto the car! My fans are already waiting for me to go live eagerly!” Yasmin smacked Freddie on the back, he looked back and glared at her, “Be gentler! Treat me more lovingly! Do your fans know that you are a woman with monstrous strength? Look at Isobel, she is so gentle and nice, learn from her a bit! Even a cold person like Hamish…” Freddie realized that he stepped on a landmine and stopped talking halfway. He glanced at Isobel, but the expression on her face didn’t change at all. She noticed him looking his way and she said, “Thank you for your help, Mr. Kennedy.”

Freddie had a complicated look on his face as he glimpsed at Isobel. He thought that Isobel would be sad about Hamish’s engagement, or at least a bit dejected.

But looking at her smiling, he couldn’t see a hint of sadness in her.

Freddie didn’t know if he should feel sorry for his best friend or feel happy for Isobel for being so clear-headed about the matter.

Yasmin was live streaming on her phone. Her fans were going crazy and she showed it to Isobel, “Look Isobel, they are very grateful for your generosity! If there’s something good like this again, just call me! I’ll work for you for free!”

Isobel looked at the comment section in the live stream and frowned slightly, “Unfortunately this would be the last time for something like this.”

Yasmin realized that she said something wrong, she tried to laugh it off, “True, true.”

Freddie quickly moved the boxes onto the car. Yasmin was getting urged impatiently by her fans and hence she left hastily after saying goodbye to Isobel.

Yasmin reorganized the stuff when she got back to her place. She was taken aback when she saw the “Mermaid’s Tears”. She quickly yelled at Freddie, “Freddie, come over! Wasn’t this custom-made? Hamish had it specially ordered didn’t he, it’s the “Mermaid’s Tears”!”

Freddie who was lying comfortably on the sofa walked over unwillingly, but he was also taken aback when he saw the “Mermaid’s Tears” on Yasmin’s hand. After a pause, he said honestly, “I didn’t know that Isobel could be this heartless.”

Yasmin liked Isobel very much, she kicked Freddie after hearing what he said, “Yeah, she’s heartless for throwing away the gifts from Hamish to cut off their relationship completely. And your best friend is not heartless for marrying a pretty and rich woman and throwing Isobel away.”

Freddie couldn’t say anything back and he didn’t want to continue arguing. He snatched the “Mermaid’s Tears” from Yasmin and said, “You shouldn’t sell this, it would lead to trouble!”

“I know, I’m not stupid!”

Hamish had it custom-ordered for Isobel and spent a fortune on it. Yasmin wouldn’t sell it, she only got one life!
