Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Isabella picked a few vegetables and bought some pork ribs. After she spoke

with Natasha over the phone, she left the supermarket and headed for

Shaffer Group. Since she had been showing up on time for the past few days,

the reception was already looking at her differently. It seemed that they had

come to regard her as the future mistress of the Shaffer Group.

She had no choice but to hide her bitter smile as she stepped into the

president’s elevator. Naturally, she was the only one there. As she stared at

her reflection on the wall, some forbidden ideas started scurrying out of the

deep, dredges of her mind.

Ding!

The doors of the elevator slid open, and she reflexively straightened her back.

The flawless smile on her lips appeared once more. When she stepped out of

the elevator, she saw the usual secretaries, whom she greeted individually.

When the door closed, she could hear people speaking in hushed voices

outside.

As she stood at the doorway, she sighed and relaxed marginally when she

saw that Seth wasn’t around. Then, she carefully removed the food from the

package and started serving them in the kitchen. Finally, she also placed the

two takeaway dishes in the microwave.

She had bought grilled ribs as well as schnitzel from a restaurant. All need to

A little after 11.00AM, everything was ready. All she needed to do was wait for

Seth to appear so that she could start grilling the vegetables.

Sounds of footsteps echoed from outside, and the door swung open.

Somebody is here. That’s probably Seth, Isabella thought and went to the

kitchen entrance in an apron, only to see Selena’s face in her line of sight.

Initially, Selena was all smiles. Alas, the smile on her face disappeared the

instant she saw Isabella’s sunglasses-wearing face. Her grip on m the folder

in her hands tightened. She had been harboring a deep hatred for Isabella.

As a result, the moment her eyes laid on the apron Isabella was wearing, she

became even more annoyed.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Nicolas speaking outside. Judging

from the polite and humble tone, he was clearly speaking to Seth. “I’ll check

again this afternoon.”

Seth tossed the document to Nicolas before entering the office with one

hand in his pocket. He spared Selena a cursory glance before following her

gaze. Then, he frowned when he found Isabella in an apron. “What are you up

to now?”

Isabella shrugged as she forced a smile. “I’m here on Mr. Ben’s order.” She

lightly swung the knife in her hand and added, “To cook for you.”

Seth didn’t bother hiding the disbelieving scoff as he brushed past Selena to

head to the kitchen entrance. He swept his gaze over the kitchen before
