Chapter 279 A Day Of Pretentiousness
Chapter 279
Isabella seethed with anger but had no choice but to suppress it. The stack of books
Seth had given her was overwhelming. After leaving the study room, she had to work
overtime in her room to finish them.
Working-late into the night, she woke up in the morning with dark circles under her
eyes. She had no choice but to apply heavy makeup.
As she walked out the door, she was surprised to see Seth still there.

leave.
She glanced at the time. It was almost 8 a.m. If the boss was leaving, she couldn’t
linger and continue eating.
She hurriedly grabbed bread and followed Seth toward the entrance, but she

Isabella muttered under her breath, then turned around and exchanged a knowing look
with Jordan.
Once in the elevator, Seth went to the basement level. He had a car, and although she
also had a car, she didn’t have a professional driver. Driving during rush hour was
asking for trouble.
As she watched Seth leave the elevator, she had the impulse to hitch a ride.
She rushed down and walked towards the exit, guessing that Seth’s car would pass by.

The car slowly approached, then mercilessly drove past.
