Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Seth’s sudden anger left Isabella bewildered. Meanwhile, it had caused

Selena to freeze in place.

Selena had worked hard to prepare a table of dishes, expecting at least

some form of praise from him. Alas, 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.

 

Isabella 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 angered laughter 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.

Isabella 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 Nicolas, 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 become less robotic lately, becoming 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 Isabella to work for him again.

Alas, 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 Isabella.

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.” Isabella 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 plan to bring them up?”

Isabella thought, Soon. I might need you to save my life tonight.

She curled her lips into a slight smile as she placed 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

 

Isabella raised an eyebrow in interest. “Whose hotel?”

“Celestial,” Ellie replied. Then, she continued with a pout, “Mr. Shaffer never

brings newcomers to these grand opening parties.”

Celestial Chain Hotel was the industry leader nationwide. Such banquets

were attended by big shots, usually accompanied by experienced

secretaries.

 

Moreover, the jobs that a secretary had to handle were far too complicated.

As a result, several women ended up becoming mistresses despite bearing

the title of secretary.

Isabella 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 Isabella’s advice. “Is there…

something wrong?”

 

Isabella 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.”

Isabella 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 Isabella’s words too seriously.

Instead, she casually nodded and left the conversation there
