Chapter 49


    Isabe moved away so Seth couldn’t see her, and she said, “Thank-”


    He snickered before she could finish, causing her to grit her teeth. She felt like


    she was pped, and her dignity was crushed.


    The manager was simpering at Seth. He looked like he was weing a king


    instead of a VIP. That made Isabe more annoyed.


    Seth insulted her with a snicker, and he got out of his car. He stopped the


    light that was shining into the car, keeping Isabe hidden in the darkness.


    The manager saw Selenaing out of the co-driver seat, and he treated


    her like a queen. He told the deputy manager to follow her at all times. He


    didn’t notice Isabe.

    The door closed and Isabe was still in the car, stiff as a statue. She couldn’t


    leave or stay either. However, someone opened the door beside her a


    momentter. Nics leaned down and stuck his head into the car. “You


    shoulde out of the car, Isabe.”


    Isabe clenched her fists as she looked at Nics, her face stiff. “C-Can you


    take me to the hotel next door?”


    Nics froze for a moment before a troubled look crossed his face. “This isn’t


    a bad hotel. Mr. Shaffer must have reserved a room for you. You should go


    and straighten yourself out.”


    He kept ncing at her back. It was only then that Isabe realized her back


    was drenched. She thought it was just water, but since it felt sticky, she knew


    it must be some kind of drink. I’ll just straighten myself out. If the b*stard


    keeps mocking me, I’ll just leave. She heaved a sigh and smiled at Nics,

    then she got out of the car.


    Nics extended his hand out of courtesy. That touched Isabe a little. She


    held his hand and got out of the car. A gust of breeze blew across the street,


    and it sent a chill down her spine.


    She raised her head and saw Seth suddenly turning around to look at her.


    She shivered. He only looked at her and Nics for a moment, then he turned


    around coldly.


    Isabe had no idea what that meant, but she mustered up her courage and


    went inside with Nics anyway.


    The manager assigned the best suite they had for Seth. He then looked at


    Selena and knowingly said, “There’s everything you need in the suite. Have a


    lovely night.”

    Selena felt her cheeks burning up. She hung her head low and stood beside


    Seth quietly.

    Seth was icy as ever, but he said nothing. He went into his room, and Selena


    followed.


    Nics pretended like he saw nothing. He was still polite with Isabe as he


    murmured, “Your room’s right ahead, Isabe.”


    Isabe was thankful for his help. She smiled. “Thank you.”


    Nics nodded and led Isabe into the room near Seth’s, It was nicely


    decked out as well. The moment Isabe got into the room, her legs wobbled.


    Pain shot up from her sprained ankle. She gasped and swayed.


    Nics quickly held her. Surprised, he asked, “Is your leg hurt, Isabe?”


    Chapter 49 So Stingy


    Isabe clenched her teeth. “A little.”


    He looked down and saw her swollen ankle. He gasped, but he was also


    impressed that she didn’t even grunt from the moment she got out of the


    car. The sprained ankle looked awful.


    He took her to the bed and said, “Sit down, Isabe. I’ll get some salve for that


    ankle.”


    However, she waved him off. “It’s alright. I’ll just use a hot towel.” She wasn’t


    that close with Nics, after all. It would be inappropriate to have him work


    so much for her.


    Nics stood up. Adamantly, he said, “Don’t be so formal. If you hadn’t


    insisted on hiring me during the interview, I wouldn’t have this job. This is just


    me repaying the favor.”


    It was surprising that he remembered that. And so, Isabe smiled. “I let your


    pass because you’re brilliant. Nothing else.”


    Nics said nothing as he turned around. “I know, but still, thanks for giving


    me a chance.”


    She felt a little resigned. She wanted to stop him, but she didn’t have the


    chance. Nics was gone, and Isabe felt ufortable in her clothes. She


    hobbled toward the bathroom, ignoring her pain.


    Nics wouldn’te back so soon. Even if he did, he didn’t have the key, so


    no one would see her bathe.


    The moment she touched the hot water, rest and rxation flowed into her


    soul. She let her guard down. Isabe had her back turned to the door, and as


    she had too much fun in the bath, she forgot the time and dozed off a little.


    Someone opened the door and quickly closed it. That caused Isabe to


    snap out of it. Thinking it was Nics, she dipped into the water and turned to


    the door. “Get out!”


    The water was steamy, and she couldn’t see who the intruder was. The


    moment she shouted at the individual, however, she knew something was


    wrong. This person was taller than Nics.


    “I got you your salve, but you wouldn’t even let me see you bathe?” the


    person retorted coolly.


    Isabe was shocked upon hearing that.
