Chapter 148
Gordon and Selena’s eyes widened. Only Dariel wore a strange smile. Isabe
shrank back, feeling a little confused about the situation. She gulped and
said, “There’s no need-”
“Thepany’s share prices cannot afford another one of your pranks,” Seth
interrupted.
Isabe couldn’t say anything. She looked at Gordon, silently urging him to
put her down.
Gordon sensed that something bad was about to happen and objected, “Are
you going with him? He could take you anywhere.”
Isabe agreed, but she couldn’t say it out loud, or it would sound like she
was trying to avoid Seth in case he tried toe after her. She patted
Gordon’s shoulder and quietly said, “Just put me down.”
Annoyed, Gordon red at Seth. He then lowered his head and threw a little
tantrum. “I will not.”
Suddenly, Seth emerged from the elevator. Dariel followed him and
exaggeratedly blew on his fingers. “Pressing that button for so long killed my
finger.”
Isabe pursed her lips and tensed up. With hesitation, she looked at Seth
and said, “Give us…” a moment. She couldn’t finish her sentence before Seth
approached them and kicked Gordon without warning.
Caught off guard, Gordon’s legs buckled, and he fell to one knee. He was
holding Isabe, but as he fell forward, Isabe was thrown away. With the
higher ground, Seth raised his hands and easily caught Isabe.
Isabe felt disoriented. Before she realized it, she was already in Seth’s arms.
Surprised, she grabbed Seth’s cor.
“Mr. Shaffer,” Selena cried, dismayed.
Dariel stepped forward. Before Gordon could stand up, Dariel stood in front of
Seth and put an arm around Gordon’s neck. “Calm down,d.”
While Gordon was distracted by Dariel, Seth turned around and entered the
elevator with Isabe. Selena tried to follow, but Seth shot her an icy look.
“You may clock out now,” Seth said coldly. He pressed the elevator button.
with the hand he was holding Isabe’s waist with. The elevator doors slowly
closed, blocking Selena’s shocked expression and dashing Isabe’s hope of
escape.
Isabe was trapped in Seth’s arms, and she tensed up. Instead of holding
her gently, Seth was more like handling her as if she were a tter. “If you go
out holding me like this, thepany will still make headlines tomorrow.”
Seth didn’t even look at her. He said, “Every wealthy man has a scandal or
two.”
Isabe said nothing and didn’t move her arms or legs. Remaining in this
awkward position, she let Seth take her downstairs. There were many people
working overtime, and Seth walked through the path with the most people
around.
Isabe felt her heart pounding as she was stared at, and a hint of color
returned to her face. When they finally left the crowd behind, Seth led her to
the underground car park. Isabe quickly sat up and reminded Seth,
“Paparazzi love staking out car parks.”

Seth gave her a look and sarcastically replied, “What a coincidence. My car
loves the car park too.”
Isabe’s lips twitched, and she stopped feeling nervous. Instead, she
decided to go with the flow. She rxed and leaned closer to Seth’s chest.
Quietly, she said, “You don’t have to keep attacking me, Mr. Shaffer.”
Seth frowned. He was going to tell her that she was overthinking things. He
had no time to deal with insignificant people like her.
Isabe continued, “We’ve been intimate for five years. That counts for
something, doesn’t it?”
Seth entered the car park. The moment Isabe said those words, Seth heard
someone clicking the shutter. His expression darkened, and he headed
towards the sound.
The paparazzi got scared by Seth’s menacing re and quickly pulled his
camera away. Something nged. The camera must be broken. Seth
sneered, looked away, and took Isabe to his car.
Since Seth said nothing, Isabe gulped. “I might have caused a lot of trouble
for youtely, but it’s all manageable. I’ve been well-behaved for years. Can’t
you let me go?”
Seth opened the door and tossed Isabe into the passenger seat. Isabe
had been appealing to Seth’s emotions just moments ago, and now
everything around her was spinning.
Seth ignored her and mmed the door shut. He pulled his tie down and
darkly made his way to the driver’s seat.
It took Isabe a while to regain herposure and sit up, but the moment
she did, Seth revved the car up, and she was thrown back into her seat.
Damn it. I tried my best to give in, but he won’t give me any leeway. She hung
her head low and covered her face with her hair. Silently, she cursed Seth.
She thought he couldn’t hear her.
“Are you cursing me?” asked Seth darkly.

Isabe quickly raised her head. “No.”
Seth scoffed. “You always curse someone when you hide your face behind

your hair. That’s been the case for five years.”
Isabe froze.
