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
