Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

Isabella felt her heart skip a beat as she noticed Selena’s gaze. She wanted

to reach out in the direction of the microwave out of reflex, but her rationale

stopped her. I can’t make a move now. Otherwise, I’ll give myself away with a

clumsy move.

Selena looked at her with sarcasm in her eyes. Then, she spun around and

mercilessly opened the microwave with force. Then, she looked at Isabella

with gleeful eyes. It was as if she had gotten some huge blackmail material

on Isabella. “Goodness, what is this?”

“Takeaway food,” Isabella answered.

Although she was being candid, Selena covered her mouth in surprise and

raised her voice, saying, “Aren’t you going to cook for Mr. Frost? Why did you

buy takeaway food when it’s not hygienic?”

The instant those words left her lips, Seth slithered to the entrance of the

kitchen like a ghost, glancing at Isabella icily.

Isabella shrugged nonchalantly as she replied without even a hint of fear or

awkwardness in her eyes, “It’s just as you said, Mr. Frost’s time is precious. So, I

can’t experiment with my cooking on him. Of course, I have to prepare a

backup-plan.” She paced to the side and took out the ribs, soaking them in

water pretentiously. Then, she raised her head and lectured Selena lightly,

“Being a secretary means that you should always have a backup plan. Don’t

be too overconfident, and always prioritize the company’s interests.”

Selena put on a stiff smile in the face of Isabella’s sudden reprimand. “You

have a point, Isabella.” Then, she turned to look at Seth and smiled sweetly.

“Please wait a while, Mr. Frost. We’ll be ready soon. There’s still time, and you

probably won’t have to eat the takeaway food.”

Isabella swiveled her head and rolled her eyes several times behind her

sunnies. Seth didn’t answer Selena and simply left the battlefield

expressionlessly.

A few seconds after he was gone, Selena tossed aside the wooden spatula

she was holding and gave Isabella a look of contempt, whispering, “Everyone

in the company is his employee, and you’re not the only outstanding one.

What makes you so proud of yourself?”

Isabella simply leaned against the counter as she regarded Selena with

amusement. “So, your aim isn’t to be his employee but his homemaker… Am l

right?” she said, shifting her gaze to Selena’s hand that was holding the

panhandle.

There wasn’t even a shard of guilt in Selena’s eyes as she tilted her chin

proudly. In fact, she even seemed a little smug. “Just because you can’t do it

doesn’t mean that I can’t.” After that, she dropped the greens into the pan,

turned up the heat, and tossed them around the pan expertly. In just a few

moves, the food was ready.

The grilled vegetables looked crisp and juicy, thanks to her perfect control of

the heat. Honestly, even Isabella wanted to applaud her for her skills. She’s

such a great cook but chose to be a secretary instead. What a waste of

talent.

Selena became even more smug when she noticed the genuine admiration

in Isabella’s eyes. Then, she placed the ready dish into the food warmer

before shoving Isabella aside because she found her annoying.
