Chapter 80


    Isabe ignored Seth’s cold attitude and squeezed herself into the seat


    beside him. “Mr. Shaffer, do you feel ufortable anywhere?”


    Seth pursed his lips while looking at her as if she were an idiot. “Is something


    wrong with your brain?”


    “No.” Isabe shook her head solemnly. “I didn’t do well enough in the past.”


    Seth frowned as he tried to discern her intentions by observing her


    expression.


    Across from them, Dariel and Simon listened intently while exchanging


    nces from time to time.


    Isabe ignored their presence and continued with a smile, “I’ve been


    reflecting a lot recently, and I suddenly had an epiphany.”


    Seth, who felt a cold sweat break out, gave her a mocking look. “Why didn’t


    your epiphany lead you to be a monk?”


    She disregarded his sarcasm and suddenly opened her purse to take out a


    few sheets of paper.


    “To express my apology, I’ve prepared a birthday gift for you.”


    Seth’s expression turnedplex. He tightly pursed his lips while showing a


    look of speechlessness.


    Dariel shifted his gaze over. “Oh, what is it? And it’s a birthday present?”


    Simon smiled and added casually, “I remember Seth’s birthday is in winter.”


    Seth sneered. “Some hypocrites don’t care about preparing beforehand.”


    Isabe closed her eyes momentarily and then lifted her hand and lightly


    ced a finger in front of Seth’s lips. “You’ve misunderstood.”


    He didn’t care whether there was a misunderstanding or not. His gaze fell on


    the finger in front of his lips, and he felt a bit annoyed. What was the point of


    keeping this distance?


    She unfolded the sheets of paper with a brilliant smile. “A Ghost. It’ll arrive in


    two weeks. Do you like it?”


    Dariel eximed, “It’s quite avish gift.”


    Simon was surprised, too. “At least 750 to 900 thousand.”


    This amount of money wasn’t significant to them, but for Isabe, it was


    probably half of her fortune.


    Isabe offered the papers. “As long as you’re happy, Mr. Shaffer, this amount


    is nothing.”


    Seth lowered his head to look at the papers, and a glint shed in his dark


    eyes. He then scrutinized Isabe’s face.


    “Was this the car ordered by Lara?”


    Isabe was speechless.


    This b*stard’s mind worked quite fast.


    “Of course not.” She denied emphatically while looking serious. “I wanted to


    give you something, so I made a special order.”


    Seth looked at her with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “No work, no pay. I


    don’t need it.”


    Isabe leaned closer to him. “But I’ve already bought it.”


    “You tried to act smart, and it’s my fault?” He didn’t even nce at her.


    Isabe persisted with a smile. “This car cost me half of my fortune.”


    Seth remained unmoved.


    “If he doesn’t want it, I’ll take it.” Dariel suddenly walked over before snatching


    the contract from Isabe’s hand. He scanned it and clicked his tongue. “If a


    woman gave me a Ghost, I’d let her sleep with me right away.”


    Isabe was speechless.


    Should she thank him?


    “I remember that Seth had a Ghost before.” Simon walked over, nced at


    the contract, and continued, “The previous one was silver. This time, it seems


    to be ck. It matches you well. It’s a good change.”


    Isabe was extremely grateful for Simon’s words. She turned to Seth in


    hopes that he would ease up a bit, or else she would have no way out.


    “Are you so eager to give me a gift because you need something from me?”


    Seth suddenly turned to look at her with cold eyes. He made it seem like


    nothing could be hidden from him.


    She quickly snatched the contract back from Dariel and ced it in front of


    Seth.


    “I have no other requests. I’m just a bit tight on funds right now. I used your


    card to buy the car…”


    Seth chuckled.


    Dariel and Simon exchanged a nce and were ready to watch the drama


    unfold.


    “You used my money to buy me a gift,” Seth emphasized this sentence.


    Isabe hurriedly exined, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just a bit tight on


    funds right now and borrowed this money from you.”


    The more she spoke, the more uncertain she felt as she stared at Seth’s side


    profile. She feared that he would get angry.


    Seth hadn’t figured out her intentions yet, but upon hearing this, he suddenly


    understood.


    He crossed his arms while leaning back on the couch leisurely. “You want me


    to consider it a loan from you and not your expense. That way, the promise of


    that empty check is secured, right?”


    Isabe’s expression stiffened. Her concerns were exposed by Seth, and she


    quickly tried toe up with a clever defense.


    “What does an empty check mean?” Dariel was being quite nosy as he


    interrupted.


    Simon clicked his tongue before pulling him aside. “It’s their secret. Why do


    you have to meddle in it?”

    Dariel said in a knowing tone, “Oh…””


    Isabe was anxious, but both of them were still being nosy. She struggled to


    maintain a smile and tried to please Seth. “I took the risk of issuing an ’empty


    check’ to buy this car for you. Can’t you see my sincerity?”


    Seth gave her a smile that was eerie and terrifying. “Do you take me for a


    fool?”


    Isabe was speechless. I genuinely wish you were a fool.


    After being countered like that, her smile froze on her face, and she was at a


    loss for a moment.


    He withdrew his gaze, lifted his chin, and changed the subject. “Of course,


    there’s a way for me to ept this car.”


    Isabe’s hope reignited as she nodded. “Please tell me!”
