Mr. Shaffer called to ask if she was avable at the moment.
Isabe let out a weary sigh. Her appetite for lunch vanished at the thought
of meeting Seth. Nheless, she maneuvered away from the crowd and
headed straight for the parking lot with her purse in hand, where the Shaffer
Family’s car was already waiting.
As usual, Mr. Shaffer prepared two sets of meals.
The bodyguards apanying her were the same as yesterday’s, escorting
her all the way to the Shaffer Group Tower’s entrance. This time, they stayed
in the car, having learned their lesson. “Call us if you need anything,” they
said.

A relieved Isabe entered the building with two insted food containers in
hand.
The people she met greeted her more warmly than yesterday. As she arrived
at the front desk, two young receptionists from there suddenly chased after
her.
“Isabe.” They stood in front of the elevator.
Isabe raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” The two receptionists exchanged a brief look. One of them said
under her breath, “Miss Winston called this morning. She said that we have to
inform her whenever youe to thepany.”
Isabe couldn’t help but chuckle. “So, are you going to make that call now?”

“No, of course not. The two receptionists waved their hands repeatedly. They
replied with a smile, “We’re not that stupid. Such instructions don’t conform to
the rules. Plus, you’re the person Mr. Shaffer trusts the most…”
Only then did it dawn on Isabe: these two receptionists were iming
credit for what they had done. Then, she entered the elevator and pressed
the floor button with mirth in her eyes.
The two receptionists looked at each other in puzzlement, unsure of what she
meant.
Isabe didn’t take the president’s exclusive elevator. So, she ran into many
familiar faces on her way up, and the two insted food containers she was
carrying stood out like a sore thumb. As soon as she stepped out of the
elevator, those behind her began talking behind her back.

“Hey, Isabe. Are you bringing lunch to Mr. Shaffer?” Ellie was heading to the
cafeteria when she ran into Isabe.
When Isabe noticed the quiet surroundings, she assumed that Seth wasn’t
around. She was so relieved that she intended to put down the food
containers and leave.
“Mr. Shaffer is inside,” said Ellie with a smile.
A speechless Isabe forced a smile on her face and went inside, carrying
the food containers.
The door to the president’s office was unlocked and slightly ajar. Hence,
Isabe carefully pushed it open. Just as she darted her eyes to the left, she
caught sight of Seth leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.

A slight crease formed between his brows when he heard the sound she
made. Nevertheless, his face smoothed out soon enough as he continued
resting with his eyes closed.
When she received no response, she quickly set the table and prepared to
slip away without him noticing. s, just when she was about to turn around,
the man behind the desk suddenly opened his eyes. “Have you deboned the
fish?”
What? A bewildered Isabe turned around and met his gaze. “How did you
know there’s fish today?”
Seth cast her a sidelong nce and leaned back in his chair. He said
casually, “Are you going to just bring the meal here and then run away after
charging 15 thousand for each meal you deliver?”

Isabe felt rather guilty as she turned around and walked up to the
floor-to-ceiling window, where she sat down to remove the fish bones. She
suspected that this man had deliberately ordered this meal. Of all kinds of
fish, he has to choose the hairtail fish, whose fine bones are simply torture to
one’s eyes.
Before she realized it, Seth had taken a seat across from her, his armzily
resting on the table. He opened his mouth, looking fatigued.
Concerned that he might get irritated again due to hunger and fatigue,
Isabe quickly served him some pasta and added some other dishes to his
bowl. “You go ahead and eat. I’ll be done in a minute.”
Seth frowned, looking impatient while holding the bowl.
Isabe recognized this expression of his. He probably had several meetings

the fish bones to avoid bringing trouble upon herself.
It was really silent in the office when there suddenly came a knock on the
door.
Seth put down his bowl and took a deep breath, his expression gloomy.
Ellie gingerly poked her head in, whispering, “Mr. Shaffer, there’s a bit of an
issue.”
Seth didn’t even pay attention to her. He merely furrowed his brows, his gaze
fixed on Isabe across the table.
Isabe turned toward Ellie, feeling utterly ufortable under his stare.

“What’s the issue… Just say it.”

Ellie quickly came in, shooting an uneasy nce at Isabe before pushing
her phone toward the man. “Isabe, did you just go shopping at the mall?”
Isabe’s heart skipped a beat, her expression faltering. In her heart, she had
figured out what it was about.
Seth grabbed Ellie’s phone and scanned through its contents upon noticing
her expression.
Ellie’s fists clenched as she said under her breath, “This video was uploaded
anonymously five minutes ago. It’s been gaining a lot of views and shares, so
it’ll likely trend in a few minutes. Now, the public feels that it’s Miss Shaffer and
the mall’s manager bullying an ordinary customer. This is already being
linked to the Shaffer Group’s corporate culture.”
Isabe’s hands froze while holding the knife and fork. She looked up slightly,
only to meet the man’s scrutinizing gaze. “You managed to make the Shaffer
Group’s share price fluctuate just by going on a shopping trip,” he remarked.
Isabe couldn’t find it in herself to reply when those words fell from his lips.
