On the second floor, Seth stood by the window with a cold expression as he watched a
woman dressed in white descend the stairs.
Suddenly, the woman noticed his gaze and turned around before getting into the car.
Without hesitation, he swiftly pulled the curtains shut.
Meanwhile, Isabe rolled her eyes when she saw the curtains being drawn. Under
pressure, she reluctantly got into the car.
As the car drove away, she tried to negotiate with Jordan.
“Can | get out of the car when we are near the restaurant?”
Jordan replied, “It’s for your safety. Please don’t act impulsively.”
Isabe was frustrated. She was anxious. “What would Joey think of me if | walked into
the restaurant with a group of people behind me? What if the paparazzi took photos of
me? | still want to maintain my reputation!”
“Mr. Roth, if we get photographed, it could harm the reputation of the Shaffer Group.”
Jordan replied, “It’s okay. A slight drop in the stock price won’t matter.”
Hearing his words, Isabe was speechless and could only surrender.
She closed her mouth, leaned against the window, and fell silent. However, only she
knew that the closer they got to the restaurant, the more nervous she became, her
almost curling up.
Even in Imperia, a fleet of luxury cars would attract attention.
Just as she was feeling exhausted, her phone started ringing.
Chapter 444 Mr Shaffer’s Gill U
“Hello.”
“Isabe, I’m here.”
Isabe sighed in relief and replied, “I''ll be there soon.”
“Okay. I''ll wait for you.”Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
After hanging up, her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it would leap out of her
throat.
Soon, the car stopped right in front of the restaurant, which surprisingly had no other
vehicles parked at the entrance.
Isabe was a bit suspicious. Still, she exited the car while covering her face with her
hand.
She quickly jogged into the restaurant, only to find itpletely empty, with all the staff
waiting for her..
“Good day, Miss Symons.” A chorus of greetings sounded.
Isabe was startled. She licked her lips and said, “Hello... Good day to all of you.”
The manager personally came over and gestured for her to follow. “Pleasee with
me
“Okay.”
Isabe clutched her purse and felt her palms getting sweaty. She had a feeling that
Seth might have booked the entire restaurant
The manager led her to a corner table by the window, which offered a view of the enti
street. Joey was sitting in the booth, looking at the menu. As Isabe approached, he
greeted her with arge bouquet of roses.
“You look beautiful today.”
Isabe forced a smile and said, “Thank you.” She took the flowers with trembling
hands, and her expression was stiff.
“This restaurant is said to be famous. | wonder why it’s so quiet,” Joey asked as he
poured Isabe a cup of tea.
Isabe replied, “Maybe it’s because of the off-season.”
Joey smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.
The dishes were served one by one. The first few were quite ordinary, but the on
followed were expensive signature dishes.
At that moment, Isabe realized something was amiss and tried to stop it. “We didn’t
order these dishes.”
“Mr. Shaffer ordered these for you. He said it’s on him,” said the manager.
“Is he your friend?” asked Joey.
Isabe smiled and replied, “No. He is a rtive of mine.”
The manager was startled when he heard her words.
Joey was momentarily stunned before replying, “I heard from your mother that you
have a few rtives.”
Isabe said, “We recently reconnected.”
Joey nodded in understanding. “I see. Elders tend to look out for the younger one
Isabe wiped the sweat from her forehead and urged Joey to start eating. However,
before they could take a bite, the manager came over again.
“Miss Symons, this is the wine Mr. Shaffer gave you guys.”
Isabe’s mouth twitched. She could overlook the issue with the food, but this bottle of
wine was valued at least four hundred thousand.
