Chapter 110
Seth’s sudden anger left Isabe bewildered. Meanwhile, it had caused
Selena to freeze in ce.
Selena had worked hard to prepare a table of dishes, expecting at least
some form of praise from him. s, all she received was such a harsh
reprimand.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back her tears and cried on the spot.
Seth became even more irritated and turned around, saying, “Get out.”
Although Selena had covered her face, she was unable to conceal her tears.
So, she wailed as she dashed out of the office.
Isabe clicked her tongue and looked at Seth. “Don’t you think you’ve gone
too far, Mr. Shaffer?”
“Aren’t you the one who had gone too far by choosing such a useless
subordinate to take over your job?” he coldly retorted.
She stared at him in exasperation as she pointed at herself. “I’ve gone too
far?”
She didn’t bother swallowing the bubble of angeredughter that fell from
her lips. Then, she leaned back and looked at him coldly. “Mr. Shaffer, it was
you who made a phone call while I was still interviewing potential
candidates. You told me to give her this job yourself.”
“I have a shallow judgment of people. However, are you saying that your
judgment as an interviewer is equally terrible?” He wasn’t the least bit
bothered that he had insulted himself in his journey to provoke her.

Isabe didn’t see the need to continue this conversation. So, she stood up
and began to clean the table.
“You should be grateful that I still chose Nics, risking your displeasure. I
haven’t even said anything. Yet, you’re pointing fingers at me when you just
acknowledged the fact that you’re a shallow boss.”
She huffed a couple of times and took away the remaining dishes one by
one.
Meanwhile, Seth sat in his seat, his gaze fixed on her. He still wasn’t satisfied
by her response. He was rubbing the chair handle with his fingertip as he
recalled the words he had intended to say earlier.
He felt that this woman had be less robotictely, bing a little
more interesting. Moreover, she was intelligent enough. So, it truly wouldn’t be
a bad idea for her to return and continue to work as his executive secretary.
If it weren’t for Selena, he would have asked Isabe to work for him again.
s, he was interrupted midway, causing his anger to build and build. As a
consequence, the words that he wanted to say and the self-assured attitude
he was going to use had disappeared.
He propped his chin on his palm as he pondered how to convey this reward’
to Isabe.
As long as she made the request, he would allow her to return and continue
as his secretary.
“Mr. Shaffer, I have something to attend to this afternoon. I’ll be taking my
leave now.” Isabe had an aloof expression on her face by the time she left
the kitchen. Then, she spoke respectfully, “There should be nothing else you
need, right?”
Seth looked at her, feeling a bit awkward. “What about you?”
She stared at him in bewilderment. “Me?”
He smoothed his shirt as he looked out the window and said casually, “You
asked for two requests. When do you n to bring them up?”
Isabe thought, Soon. I might need you to save my life tonight.
She curled her lips into a slight smile as she ced her hands in front of her.
“I’m keeping the favors as my trump card. So, I won’t use it easily.”
He absentmindedly tapped the chair with his finger instead of looking at her.
It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Her eyes darted around the office d’s she slowly inched herself toward the
door. I’ve already tidied everything up. I should be able to excuse myself now,
right?
“When is the car exhibition?” he suddenly asked.
A surprised Isabe stopped in her tracks. “Are you interested?”
Seth frowned. “I’m afraid you’ll be too busy with the car exhibition to prepare
lunch for me.”
She breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his answer. She really didn’t want
him to join the event. A remote town couldn’t afford to entertain a king like
him. Of course, there was also another reason behind her words. She didn’t
have the energy for all of his nonsense.
She stood at the door with a smile. “Don’t worry. I will arrange my time
ordingly.”

After that, she nced at Seth.
Since he had his back turned on her, all she could see from her angle was his
side profile and the slightly downturned corner of his mouth.
Judging by experience, Isabe could tell that he was not in a good mood. It
was better not to wander around in front of him.
So, she carefully opened the door and moved little by little. Then, she quickly
slipped out before Seth noticed what she was doing.
She tilted her head back as she breathed the crisp air outside the office. She
couldn’t help but feel as though the pressure weighing down on her had
lightened considerably.
Just as she was patting her chest, Ellie approached, shaking her phone in
front of Isabe. “Isabe, I did a good job, didn’t I?”
Only at this moment did Isabe recall asking Ellie to help drive Selena away.
-Then, her brain started to wander as she began thinking about the boiled
cabbage for tomorrow. Although she was grateful, she could only twitch her
lips into a barely-there smile. “Thanks.”
Ellie clutched her phone in excitement and was about to start gossiping
when she remembered something else. So, she couldn’t help but whisper to
Isabe, “By the way, be careful when ites to Selena. Mr. Shaffer has a
hotel party tonight. It seems that he’s only bringing her along.”
Isabe raised an eyebrow in interest. “Whose hotel?”
“Celestial,” Ellie replied. Then, she continued with a pout, “Mr. Shaffer never
brings neers to these grand opening parties.”
Celestial Chain Hotel was the industry leader nationwide. Such banquets
were attended by big shots, usually apanied by experienced
secretaries.
Moreover, the jobs that a secretary had to handle were far tooplicated.
As a result, several women ended up bing mistresses despite bearing
the title of secretary.
Isabe had witnessed two high-level executives exchanging secretaries at
a party. Everyone present understood what it meant.
She had been with Seth for five years. Although she hadn’t personally
experienced it, she had witnessed such things far too many times.
“Selena shouldn’t go, and you guys shouldn’t either,” she couldn’t help but
remind Ellie.
Ellie was slightly stunned when she heard Isabe’s advice. “Is there…
something wrong?”
Isabe looked around, then whispered in Ellie’s ear, “Celestial’s vice president
is…”
Ellie immediately covered her mouth as a look of disgust appeared on her
face. “Really? I never would have guessed.”
Isabe shrugged. “Be careful. When Selena returns, inform her about this.
This is dangerous. Besides, anyone who encounters such deals would be in
deep trouble.”
Even though she found Selena annoying; she was still a fellow woman. So,
she wasn’t about to allow a woman to fall into the abyss just because of her
grudge against the other.
Even though Ellie was terrified, she didn’t take Isabe’s words too seriously.
Instead, she casually nodded and left the conversation there
