Chapter 1


    Isabe Symons frowned as she awoke from a


    restless dream and turned over ufortably. As


    she moved, she suddenly realized there was


    someone else beside her. She clenched her teeth


    and reached for the bedsidemp, which, when


    turned on, caused the man next to her to exhale in


    frustration.


    The dim light revealed the man’s naked back,


    casting intriguing shadows on his well–defined

    profile.


    She got out of bed and tiptoed to the closer to


    change clothes before returning to the bed. She


    touched the man’s back and said, “Mr. Shaffer, it’s


    Chapter 1 Mistress for Five Years


    6.06AM. You have a meeting at 7.30AM.”


    The man let out an exasperated sigh and brushed


    off her hand. In a raspy voice, he ordered, “Go


    away!”


    Isabe was ustomed to such treatment, so she


    calmly got up and quietly headed downstairs to


    prepare breakfast. She ate her meal stoically and


    then hailed a cab to thepany. All of that was


    done without disturbing Seth Shaffer.


    Once the lights were switched off in the room, she


    transformed into Seth’s personal ything.


    However, once outside the room, she was the


    executive secretary for the Shaffer Group’s


    president.


    Chapter 1 Mistress for Five Years


    After arriving at thepany, she efficiently


    organized everything and stood outside the


    conference room with a cold expression, waiting.


    Everyone who walked past her would respectfully


    greet her.


    At 7.28AM, the president’s private elevator chimed,


    and Isabe felt relieved. She then left the


    conference room and stood in anticipation.


    Seth was nearly six feet tall and appeared


    imposing from a distance. With his thin lips and fair


    the impression of a naturally cold personality. Even


    though she stood at just 168cm, she appeared frail


    when facing him.

    Without ncing at her, he acted as though they


    hadn’t been in bed togetherst night.


    Since it would be a long meeting, she returned to


    the secretarial office to order breakfast for him.


    While perusing the menu, another secretary, Fiona


    Knox, approached her and inquired, “Isabe, have


    you seen Mr. Shaffer’s schedule for this afternoon?”


    Isabe shook her head. “Is there something wrong


    with it?”


    After smacking her lips, Fiona whispered, “Mr.


    Shaffer has a business dinner tonight with Louis


    Kessler, the Shine Corp.’s regional executive


    director.”


    Chapter 1 Mistress for Five Years


    Isabe racked her memory for information on that


    name and instantly recalled it. Louis was notorious


    for using his status to harass female employees.


    There was even once when he drugged the head


    secretary of a partnerpany. ording to


    rumors, he had audaciously pursued Seth’s aunt,


    Lara Shaffer.


    If Seth was meeting Louis, he would surely bring a


    secretary with him. Given the circumstances, it was


    apparent that the other secretaries were likely


    hesitant to apany Seth. This was the reason


    Fiona hade to discuss it with Isabe.


    Isabe pursed her lips and calmly replied, “Don’t


    worry. Mr. Shaffer may not choose any of us.”


    However, once she finished speaking, the door to

    the secretarial office was pushed open, and the


    newbie, Norah Monroe, peeked out before


    cautiously ncing at Isabe. “Isabe, Mr. Shaffer


    is looking for you.”


    After quickly cing her food order, Isabe left the


    secretarial office impassively. It had been five years


    since her rtionship with Seth started. She had


    just joined thepany not long ago and was


    already tricked into sleeping with him inside his


    lounge. Though he had encountered several


    demanding customers, he had never made her do


    anything despicable.


    Inside his office, Seth calmly signed a document


    without lifting his gaze. “Get ready. There’s a


    business dinner tonight.”

    Her steps faltered momentarily.


    Not hearing her response, he frowned and raised


    his head to look at her. “Isabe?”


    She quickly returned to her senses, but she


    remained unfazed. “Yes, Mr. Shaffer.”


    He threw the document at her with a cold


    expression. “How long have you been with me?”


    Not understanding what he meant, she replied


    calmly, “Five years.”


    “Then, act like it and do your job properly.”


    “Yes, Mr. Shaffer.” Without showing any change of


    expression, Isabe’s hands felt cold as she
