Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

Isabella sat motionless on the floor, feeling the dull pain on her forehead and

the burning sensation on her cheek. It caused a ringing in her ears. After a

while, her knees went numb. Suddenly, she heard movement outside the

door. Isabella instinctively lifted her head and stared at the door.

The door opened, and a man walked in. It was the same bodyguard she had

seen in the suburbs.

Jordan entered the room and noticed Isabella’s posture. He immediately saw

the swelling on her cheek and was surprised. Then, he lowered his head and

said, “Miss Symons.”

Isabella turned her face away and quickly wiped her tears. Then, with the

support of a flower stand, she struggled to stand.

Seeing her difficulty in moving, Jordon made a call to instruct someone to

bring a first aid kit.

Isabella had heard him address Seth as ‘Mr. Shaffer,’ so she assumed he was

not just an employee but likely someone from the Shaffer Family. Thinking

about it, she nodded politely and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re very polite,” Jordan said unexpectedly.

Isabella didn’t understand what he meant and looked puzzled.

Jordan leaned closer to her and said, “Mr. Shaffer went to sleep at 2.00AM last

night and woke up at 6.00AM today. He spent over six hours handling

company matters before taking a one-hour flight to have a meeting with

several dignitaries until the incident occurred in the suburbs.” He reported

Seth’s schedule in detail and looked at her. “To save you, he left those crucial

matters behind. If you can appreciate my small gesture, you shouldn’t have

made such an imprudent move against Mr. Shaffer.”

Hearing his words, Isabella clenched her hands tightly and met his gaze.

Meanwhile, Jordan continued, “I don’t know what he did to you, but in my

opinion, you should go along with him. After all, he just saved your life.”

Isabella’s expression changed drastically, and the cheek that Seth had

slapped seemed to burn even more. Blood rushed to her head, and she was

so agitated that she momentarily lost her voice. She understood what he

meant; she should comply with Seth’s wishes, especially considering he had

just saved her. Taking a deep breath, she withdrew her gaze and looked at

the flowers as she replied, “My apologies. It was my lack of judgment.”

Jordan ignored her tone and took a step back, saying, “My name is Jordan.

You can stay here and take some time to calm down. If you need anything,

ask me.”

When Isabella heard his words, she was startled. She stood up and asked,

“What do you mean by that?”

Jordan simply said, “Shouldn’t you apologize to Mr. Shaffer?”

Isabella choked up and felt upset. “I can’t leave if I don’t apologize to him,

right?”

Jordan shrugged and replied, “You’re overthinking it. Mr. Shaffer hasn’t

mentioned you since earlier. It’s just my suggestion. It would be better to
