Chapter 18
Seth had initially used his foot to hold Isabe in
ce. However, when she suddenly stood up, she
stumbled over him and tumbled over. The shirt she
wore only covered up to her thighs, so when she fell
forward, more of her body was exposed.
Retracting his leg, he leaned back against the
couch and unabashedly gazed at her. However, he
remained unrelenting in his tone. “What’s the
meaning of this? Are you persuading me to help
you by offering certain benefits in advance?”

Her face was burning, and she quickly got up from
the ground. She stood upright in front of the coffee
table. “No-”
“No?” He let out a light chuckle and nced at her.
“Then, what is it?”
“I’m no longer your secretary but an ordinary
employee at Shaffer Group, so I shouldn’t receive
special treatment.” Isabe managed to force out
the words from her dry throat, word by word.
“Please don’t trouble yourself on my behalf.”
Meanwhile, Seth’s gaze remained fixed on her face,
tracing from her flushed cheeks to slightly pale lips.
Suddenly, he turned his head and spoke in a tone
devoid of warmth. “It appears you’ve developed
some backbone.”

She wisely chose not to argue, as confronting the
tyrant head–on would be unwise. Patience was her
best strategy when dealing with him.
“You mentioned handing over your work, right?”
Seth fell silent momentarily, seemingly thinking of
another way to tease her.
Furrowing her brows, Isabe cautiously replied,
“Yes, I’ll pass on my work notes from the past few
years to Fiona. I’ll ensure there are no mistakes in
your day–to–day activities.”
“Do you think she can handle the tasks you do?”
The man’s body leaned forward slightly as he
looked at the woman beside him with a smile that
didn’t reach his eyes.

Isabe wondered if he still desired a “personal”
secretary to manage his intimate affairs. She
silently cursed him for being driven solely by his
sexual desires but maintained her calm exterior.
“Mr. Shaffer, among the six secretaries in your
office, four have boyfriends, and the other two have
more exciting love lives and personal matters than
you do.” She lifted her head, a smile ying at the
corner of her lips. “Who do you think would be
suitable for the job?”
Seth resumed his expressionless demeanor, calmly remarking, “Even if they had no romantic
entanglements, I wouldn’t be interested in them.”
After hearing that, she took a deep breath. “Then, you should consider hiring a new executive

secretary.”
“I already have,” he replied calmly as if discussing
the weather.
However, she briefly felt a wave of suffocation,
though it passed so quickly that she barely noticed
1. it. All she experienced was a momentary daze.
Seth studied Isabe, catching a fleeting glint of determination in her eyes. Suddenly, he felt a
mischievous thrill. “How about this? Since you have
the experience, I’ll let you handle tomorrow’s
interviews.”
“Me?” She was astonished.
He nodded, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “You’ve

been with me for five years, so you know best what
kind of secretary would suit me. It couldn’t be more
fitting for you to choose one for me.”
As soon as she heard that, she cursed inwardly,
B*stard. She would have cussed him out loud if she
hadn’t gripped the hem of her clothes. Letting his
former mistress select his new one–only he could
herposure and spoke honestly. “I have home
and work matters to attend to.”
“That’s something you’ll need to consider.” Once he
finished speaking, he stood up, hands in his
pockets, expressing clearly that he wouldn’t
tolerate nonsense. Then, he strode out and said,
“Tomorrow, 9.00AM. Don’t keep everyone waiting for

In the meantime, Isabe remained crouched, her
feet feeling numb. Seth’s words had stunned her so much that she hadn’t even remembered to stand
1. up. After all, she had already resigned, so why should she work for him for free?
