Chapter 51
Seth gave her a scornful look. Annoyed, he said, “You’ve only left work for
days, and you’ve forgotten all the stuff you worked on for years?”
Isabella choked on her words. She had worked for Seth for five years, and
they had experience meeting clients late at night, but those were rare
occurrences. “Who are you seeing?” she asked.
Seth buttoned the last button on his shirt and stood before the mirror. He

stood tall, and he felt oppressive even when he wasn’t talking. He raised his
chin. “Jonathan Gosling.”
“Mr. Gosling?” Isabella was shocked, and she almost let go of the blanket.
Seth said nothing. That was a tacit agreement.

Isabella was silent. She was worried. Jonathan was a retired government
man and a very high-ranking official. He was nearly eighty, and he was
seeing Seth at this hour. If anything were to happen to Jonathan, it would be
bad. “Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Gosling’s heart isn’t as healthy as it was. This isn’t the
2/8
best hour to see him.”
Seth strode to the couch without looking back. He made a call and told
someone to prepare the files. He then hung up and noticed that Isabella was
looking at him. “I’m not going alone,” he commented.
Isabella got what he was saying. He must be waiting for Jonathan to make
the decision on something important, and a group of people were going to
meet him as well. He was in that group.
Seth finished changing and left. A moment later, someone came in. Isabella
heard his voice, and she knew it was Ollie.

“Mr. Shaffer, the Hanks have left. It is now Ronald and Christopher Larson’s
turn.”
Seth asked coolly, “Have they met?”
“Only said hi at the doorway. Nothing more,” Ollie answered.
Seth said nothing.
Isabella got out of bed, still covering herself with a blanket. She quickly
changed into a robe and leaned on the door to listen in.
Seth was about to move, and he told Ollie to get prepared. Isabella quickly
got up, but it was too late to run. Seth opened the door and realized she was
listening in. He looked at her coldly and picked up the watch he left behind,
but he said nothing.

Chapter 51 She’s Not Suitable
Out of an old habit, she said, “Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Gosling isn’t as young as he
4/8
used to be. It’s not advisable for someone with his condition to stay up late at
night. If you have to talk, make sure you keep an eye on the time.”
Seth shot her a mysterious look.
Isabella licked her lips. She mused about it for a moment before adding, “And
Selena’s not a suitable partner for this.”
