Chapter 59 One Promise
Seth spoke softly, almost mockingly. He sounded like he wanted to watch
how Isabella would wrap up this drama.
Isabella rolled her eyes at the window and gritted her teeth. “No. I want to
know how you’re going to repay my favor.” She mustered her courage and
turned around. “I’m not your secretary anymore. I worked through the night
and solved a big problem for your company. You won’t give me nothing, will
you?”
Seth stared at her, and he chuckled. “I see.”
Isabella gulped. She was feeling nervous.
“So that’s why you didn’t stay with Shawn. This is what you were trying to get
at.” Seth chortled, but he looked relaxed. He leaned on the leather seat. “So
what do you want?”
Isabella had been waiting for this the whole night, and her whole body was
screaming in excitement. The first thing she thought of was to have Seth get
rid of Louis, but then, even if Louis was taken out, there was still Vincent. She
couldn’t use Seth to get rid of all her enemies.
When the silence had gone on long enough, Seth guessed what she was
going to ask based on their past interactions. “You want money again?”
Isabella pursed her lips. She asked, “How much are you going to give?”
Seth had a look that said, “I knew it.” He pressed down on the compartment
beside his seat and took out a card. “Take any amount you want.”
Isabella cocked her eyebrow. “Can I clean the account?”
E
Seth shot her a look. Quietly, he said, “You’re too much of a coward to do that,
and you’re not capable enough.”
Isabella pouted. He was right. She wouldn’t even dream of emptying that
account, and she’d be too scared to spend the money even if she did empty
the account. She held the card and stared down, musing for a moment.
Noticing her ignorance, Seth frowned. “You want more?”
Isabella gritted her teeth and handed back the card. “I don’t want money.”
Seth paused. He then thought she was up to something, so he didn’t take the
card. “What else could you want but money?”
Isabella mocked him silently. What a paranoid. She smiled, however. “I want a
promise.”
Seth’s eyes glinted coldly. “What do you mean?”
“You gave me enough money, but I need an exit strategy whenever I’m.in
Imperia.” Isabella smiled and raised her head. Her eyes glistened. “If I get into
trouble someday, you gotta cover for me.”
Seth stared at her, wondering if she was telling the truth. Then he looked
away. “What makes you think you can get my promise that easily?”.
Isabella held the card tightly. She frowned. “Is it harder than getting a license
to mine ore?”
