Chapter 17
Isabe was ustomed to being humble before
Seth, so even though she was only wearing a thin
shirt, she still walked up to him. Fortunately, there
was a coffee table separating them.
“You just left me, yet you’re already spreading
rumors about me mistreating you?” Seth raised his
head slightly and shot her a cold re.

She clenched her jaw and pretended to be

“It’s just a misunderstanding. Perhaps Mr. Wace
didn’t renew the rent in time, and I had no ce to
stay, so I stayed with Natasha temporarily.” While
saying that, she avoided his gaze and handed the
ss across the coffee table.
Seth shifted his position and leaned against the
couch. He rested his elbow on his leg and leaned
forward, getting closer to Isabe. Instinctively, she
tried to move back, but his firm grip caught her
wrist before she could retreat. Flustered, she looked
up at him. “Mr. Shaffer-”
Before she could finish her sentence, he suddenly
pulled her from the other side of the coffee table.

She instantly found herself on hisp, in an
awkward position. She was only in a shirt, and their
closeness allowed them to feel each other’s body
warmth.
Seth didn’t make any further moves. Instead, he
held Isabe and rested his chin on her shoulder. “I
heard you did a good deed and told Fiona about
my habits.” His tone remained calm and devoid of
emotion, making it hard to gauge his feelings.
Having spent five years with him, she understood
him well enough. This was his way of expressing
dissatisfaction, with a subtle hint of warning.
She stayed still, staring at the coffee table before
her, and replied calmly, “Your stomach hasn’t been
in good shapetely. Skipping meals affects your

work. And rying my job responsibilities is part of
my duty.”
“You’re quite dedicated,” Sethmented with a
hint of sarcasm. Suddenly, he reached out, brushed
Isabe’s hair aside, and gently touched her cheek, tracing over the area where she had been pped.

His movements were gentle, but she couldn’t shake off a sense of unease. Each touch seemed to send
tingles and goosebumps across her skin.
“You’re so dedicated and patient that you can even
endure being pped,” he continued, listing her
qualities as though he were genuinely praising her.
Then, his tone shifted. “Women like you excel in
selling cars and houses.”

She tightened her fists and was baffled by his
words.
“Have you managed to sell a car?” he inquired.
Taking a deep breath, Isabe responded, “I’ve sold
just one car.” She couldn’t quite grasp his
intentions. She wondered if he was probing her
performance, perhaps concerned that she was
excelling and wanted to make things more
challenging.
“Just one? What can you do with that meagermission?” Seth’s voice carried a somber tone
She felt his voice as if it were a feather, lightly

brushing over every sensitive spot on her body,
causing her to tremble uncontrobly.
As she drifted into a daze, he took a strand of her
hair and used it to graze her cheek. “Do you need
my help?”
Suddenly, a chord in Isabe’s mind quivered. A
familiar scene from five years ago shed before
Isabe’s eyes, simr to the present but in the
past. She was inexperienced and had been
transferred to the president’s secretarial office
without exnation. For some unknown reason,
she had been bullied, and Seth had seemed to
appear out of nowhere, asking her in the same soft voice, “Do you need my help?”

As that voice echoed in her ears, she shuddered,
and almost as if being electrocuted, she escaped
from his embrace.
