Chapter 117
Selena anxiously waited for Seth at the hotel, but he never showed up.
Wrapped in just a bathrobe, she sat on the couch, feeling the chill seeping
into her body while resentment surged in her heart.
Throughout her youth, she had crafted an image of herself as a sweet and
obedient girl, receiving protection and adoration both at school and at home.
There was no reason for all of that to lose its value in the man’s eyes.
When she recalled his aloof yet handsome face, she clenched her jaw.
“You’re mine…”
Before she could finish her sentence, someone was frantically knocking on
the door.
As Seth had left the room while angry, Selena subconsciously assumed the
person at the door was him.
Joy filled her heart. It did not matter if he was happy or upset. As long as he
returned, she still stood a chance.
“Mr. Shaffer!” she called out as she opened the door.
Outside the door was a middle-aged man who was incredibly drunk and
squinting at the abrupt appearance of a woman at the doorway.
Out of shock, she instinctively mmed the door shut. She knew that man, for
he was the deputy manager of this hotel. At parties, she had even witnessed
how he would hit on the female secretaries.
However, Selena was not fast enough. The deputy manager swiftly barged
into the room, using his weight to force the door open.
She hurriedly retreated in panic. “Mr. Grant, this is Mr. Shaffer’s room. You
cannote in.”

The deputy manager had too much to drink, so he did not care whose room
it was. All he could think about was the womanly scent filling his nose and the
beautiful face within his view. As he looked down, he noticed her fair and
slender legs.
“Babe, let’s have some fun.”
Selena was stunned, unable to believe that the rumors were true. After
wrapping her bathrobe tighter around herself, she tried to escape by
squeezing past him. After all, he was drunk.
Just as she took one step, he forcefully wrapped an arm around her waist
and trapped her in an embrace.
A
“Let me go! Help! Mmph…” She had only yelled twice before a hand mped
over her mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Due to how drunk he was, the deputy manager possessed an unusual
strength and didn’t care about logic; he just wanted to follow his desires. With
a hand covering her mouth and his other arm around her waist, he carelessly
dragged her further into the room.
She kicked hard, but she could not escape her fate of being dragged away.
While she struggled with all her might, she was exceedingly helpless in the
face of brute strength.
The door mmed shut with a loud bang.
“Don’t touch me!”
The scream echoed from the room.
The two employees walking past the door looked at each other.
“Should we check it out?”
“Mind your own business. The rich have a lot of kinks. This is just one of them.”
“True…”
Inside a dimly lit room.
When Seth heard Isabe’s response, his eyes instantly turned icy. As he
slowly moved away, he aloofly nced at the woman kneeling by his feet.
“You have worked with me for five years. You know that I detest women who
y hard to get.”
She pursed her lips and smiled. “You’ve slept with me for five years. You
should know my temper.” As she raised her head, the wound on her face
stood out against her skin while her ck eyes shined, and her lips spread in
a rather pleasant smile. “I truly wanted to quit. It’s not to y hard to get.”
Seth pressed his lips together and fell silent as he continued to stare into
Isabe’s eyes. He turned and picked up the phone from the coffee table to
make a phone call. “Bring it over.”
She lowered her head and fidgeted with her hair. Her instincts told her this
was not going to be good. Her mind swiftly raced as she tried to prepare.
herself for all possibilities.
After hanging up, he continued to lock his fiery gaze on her face as he
examined her. He only looked away when someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Isabe narrowed her eyes at the doorway, which was now upied by the
man who “invited” her to get into the car.
The man ced a folder by Seth’s hand with more respect than Ollie showed.
In fact, his attitude could be considered somewhat cautious.
When Seth shot him a look, the man left the room.
She looked at the folder by Seth’s side, wondering what scheme he had in
mind now.
“You once said that you loved Imperia.” He looked at her with a raised
eyebrow instead of looking at the folder. The abrupt subject change was
strange.
She was used to being talked to in a cold and aloof manner, so any slight hint
of warmth from him had her extremely uneasy.
“That’s in the past. I don’t love it anymore.”
He was resting his chin on one hand while his eyes were half closed. He was
likely tired.
“Why?”
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Isabe bluntly replied, “There are too
many rich people in Imperia. It fills me with resentment.”
Seth let out a snort ofughter and looked up at her. “Do I not pay you
enough?”
She licked her dry lips. “That money should be worth nothing to you.”
“You want more?”
He suddenly leaned in close and caressed her cheek. His fingers wandered
downward until they rested on her lips.
Isabe went stiff, too afraid to even twitch. She just did not understand what
was going on in Seth’s mind.
“I’ll give you one more chance. This time, you’ll gain much more than before.”

His voice was deep and very attractive. If he wished to, he could easily turn
his voice into the type of voice that recently charmed the inte.
She was a woman who was easily swayed by a man’s looks and voice.
Putting aside all sense of logic, the man was actually extremely tempting
right now.
“There’s no need.”
