Chapter 2
When Seth left his office that night, Isabe rose
from her seat. At that moment, the secretaries
around her exchanged sympathetic nces, well
aware of her situation.
Once inside the car, he closed his eyes to rest but
then spoke up unexpectedly. “Human Resources
mentioned that you requested your employment
contract two days ago.”
Her heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm
and replied, “I couldn’t recall the exact date I
started working and wanted to check when I’ll be
eligible to change my permanent residence.”

He opened his eyes and looked at her side profile
with a slight smile. “I thought you disliked Shaffer
Group and were nning to leave.”
“You’re ttering me. I feel fortunate to have the
opportunity to be your secretary.” Isabe ttered
Seth calmly, but her mind was racing.
Although he didn’t say anything, her heart
continued to race. She had contemted
resigning because he had be increasingly
demanding, and leaving Shaffer Group would bring
her closer to her desired life. Five years ago, she
had dreamt of marrying him, but she had long
since awakened from that dream.
“Mr. Shaffer, we’re here.”

Isabe’s thoughts were still in turmoil as they
pulled up at the Basilicus Hotel. At that moment,
the hotel staff, led by the manager, awaited Seth’s
arrival with utmost respect.
Sheposed her thoughts and followed behind
Seth. When they reached the top floor, they were

greeted by a breathtaking view of a river at night
through a massive floor–to–ceiling window.
Once the elevator doors opened, a strong scent of perfume filled the air. A blonde man in his forties
approached Seth and wanted to hug him. However,
Seth was unafraid to displease anyone and
tactfully moved aside, causing Louis to bump into Isabe.

The man’s eyes lit up as he grabbed Isabe’s
hand. “Shaffer, this woman you brought with you
looks divine.” Once those words fell, his hand
moved up her arm.
She gritted her teeth and tried to suppress her
disgust but didn’t retreat. Behind her, Seth frowned
slightly, then continued walking inside as though he
didn’t see her there.
In no time, Louis became bolder and directly
embraced her.
Despite her smile, she searched for an opportunity
to escape but found none. She even nced at
Seth multiple times, but he remained impassive,
asionally indulging in the ttery of an
apanying executive.

When everyone had taken their seats, Louis, still
holding Isabe, turned to Seth and tentatively
inquired, “Shaffer, how much would it take for you
to part with this secretary of yours?”
An ufortable silence fell over the room as the
executives all nced warily at Seth, afraid he
would get angry.
At the same time, she held onto the chair’s armrest,
and her back unconsciously tensed up.
“Her?” Seth raised a brow as he gave Isabe an
intriguing nce. Then, he casually mentioned, “She’s been with me for five years, so she probably
wouldn’t agree to a small amount.”

Once those words were spoken, everyone
understood what he meant. They knew no powerful
man could maintain a five–year rtionship with.
the same woman, so Seth must have grown weary
of her.
Listening to the repulsiveughter and wanton
ttery, Isabe took a deep breath. She met Seth’s
calm eyes while enduring Louis‘ approach to kiss
her ear. She moved aside, dodging Louis‘ kiss.
However, Seth, seated across from her, raised an
eyebrow.
“Mr. Keller, a toast.” She smiled and ced the red
wine ss beside Louis‘ lips. “Thank you for liking
me.”

The others were in an uproar, and Louis was
overjoyed. Finishing the wine with help from the
beautiful woman, he said, “Babe, you’re such a
sweetheart.”
Sensing the burning gazeing from opposite
her, Isabe smiled even brighter. She refilled Louis‘
ss and ced it beside Louis‘ lips. “Have another
ss.”
Along with the encouragement from the men,
around him, Louis was influenced by his desire and
agreed. Then, with a tilt of her hand, she
identally spilled half the ss of wine onto his
chest.
“Oh, no! I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to…” She

frantically apologized, her panicked demeanor
resembling that of a trapped animal.
However, Louis wasn’t angry and grabbed her
hand. “Don’t be afraid, babe. It’s just a shirt. We can
just get changed inside the lounge.”
Initially, Isabe’s n was to give him something
to do. She didn’t expect the scum would n to
head straight into the lounge. She knew
apanying him to the lounge implied an
intimate encounter, so she was slightly flustered
and subconsciously looked across the table.
“What’s the matter? Do you still need to ask your
boss for permission?” Louis grabbed Isabe’s chin
and nced mischievously at Seth.

Meanwhile, Seth arrogantly leaned against the
chair and didn’t even spare her a nce. Instead,
he picked up his wine ss and took a sip. “Since
you stained his clothes, you should clean it up.” His
tone was monotonous and unwavering, causing
Isabe to clench her teeth in frustration.
Before she could gauge Seth’s expression, Louis
held her by the waist and pulled her up from the
seat. Surrounded by men, they all looked at her
mockingly, and none intended to speak up for her.
Feeling devastated, she could not stop Louis from
leading her away.
