Chapter 13
Isabella went to welcome Fiona, and a lot of people
saw that.
“I can’t believe you quit your job just to work here,
Isabella.” Fiona sat down, looking uncomfortable.
She looked at her surroundings with contempt.
Isabella got her glass of water. She forced herself to
look relaxed. “Office job almost dulled my skills. I got
another job so I can gain enough experience to set

“I see.” Fiona looked like realization had struck her.
She held Isabella’s arm. “I thought it was weird that
you left when Mr. Shaffer needed you so much.”
Fiona wasn’t subtle with her comment, so everyone
got what she was saying, but Isabella didn’t argue.
Instead, she picked up the notes that she had
sorted out and told Fiona about Seth’s preferences.
Isabella did this on purpose. Through Fiona, she
was telling everyone she wasn’t exiled but sent
here to see what the lower echelons were like.
Fiona listened intently and stayed until lunch break was over. Before she left, she stood at the doorway and spoke to Isabella. “You have to come back

sooner or later. Mr. Shaffer has a ton of stuff to deal
with, and we have to help him out.”
You want me to go back? For what? So, you can
bully me again? Isabella knew this was just a fake
courtesy, and she played along. “Oh, you don’t
need me. You’re a veteran, too. I’m sure you can be
the head secretary. I trust you.”
Fiona had a smug look in her eyes. She made small
talk with Isabella before she drove away.
After Isabella came back from sending Fiona off,
many people came to curry favor with her. Even
Jonas made small talk with her.
Isabella answered them courteously.

Not too long after that, Abigail brought Isabella a
cup of milk tea. Her cheeks were still swollen, but
she simpered. “Isabella, I’ve thought about it. The
credit should go to you, not me.”
Isabella despised people like her, and she
sardonically said, “Oh, it belongs to you. You’ve
worked hard the whole afternoon, after all.”

“I can’t. You’re my colleague, and a new one at that.
You need the credit more than I do.” Abigail blinked.
When she looked down, a drop of tear rolled down
her cheek. If she hadn’t pulled the rug out from
underneath Fiona, I could have taken all the credit. I
hate putting on this act.
Isabella acted like she was hesitating before she

sighed. “Fine. I’ll take it, then.”
“That’s good to hear.” Abigail patted her chest and
wiped her tears away. “It wouldn’t sit right with me
otherwise.”
Yeah, right. A hint of scorn flickered in Isabella’s
eyes. She then poked a straw into the cup of milk
tea. “Get back to work.”
“See you.”
Isabella saw her off and rolled her eyes.
Isabella was trying to come up with a marketing
plan when her phone vibrated. It was a text from
Alex Young. The gist of it was that there was an
