Chapter 1
Isabella Symons frowned as she awoke from a
restless dream and turned over uncomfortably. As
she moved, she suddenly realized there was
someone else beside her. She clenched her teeth
and reached for the bedside lamp, which, when
turned on, caused the man next to her to exhale in
frustration.
The dim light revealed the man’s naked back,
casting intriguing shadows on his well–defined
profile.
She got out of bed and tiptoed to the closer to
change clothes before returning to the bed. She
touched the man’s back and said, “Mr. Shaffer, it’s
2/8

6.06AM. You have a meeting at 7.30AM.”
The man let out an exasperated sigh and brushed
off her hand. In a raspy voice, he ordered, “Go
away!”

Isabella was accustomed to such treatment, so she
calmly got up and quietly headed downstairs to
prepare breakfast. She ate her meal stoically and
then hailed a cab to the company. All of that was

transformed into Seth’s personal plaything.

After arriving at the company, she efficiently
organized everything and stood outside the
conference room with a cold expression, waiting.
Everyone who walked past her would respectfully
greet her.
At 7.28AM, the president’s private elevator chimed,
and Isabella felt relieved. She then left the
conference room and stood in anticipation.
Seth was nearly six feet tall and appeared
imposing from a distance. With his thin lips and fair
complexion, his face always seemed stern, giving
the impression of a naturally cold personality. Even
though she stood at just 168cm, she appeared frail
when facing him.

Without glancing at her, he acted as though they
hadn’t been in bed together last night.
Since it would be a long meeting, she returned to
the secretarial office to order breakfast for him.
While perusing the menu, another secretary, Fiona
Knox, approached her and inquired, “Isabella, have
with it?”
