Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61

1/11

That evening, Isabella packed her bags and returned to Imperia. Despite

Jonas’ repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, she used the excuse that

“a long delay could cause complications” to fend off his requests. Jonas had

been harboring suspicions in his heart that a rival had to have something to

do with this. So, he stopped bugging her after considering his circumstances.

She hadn’t rested well for two whole days. As a result, she fell into a deep

slumber, completely relaxed because Jonas, the sleazeball, wasn’t

accompanying her this time. She was roused from her sleep due to the

announcement that the plane had landed.

At 3.00AM, she hailed a cab in order to go home. Nonetheless, she remained

cautious throughout the journey.

Exhaustion had crept and made itself in her bones as she stumbled out of

the car. Then, she dragged her luggage behind her as she ambled toward

her home.

Suddenly, she looked up and noticed that the lights were on. She almost

thought she was mistaken or perhaps seeing hallucinations. Yet, she counted

the floors and stared at the building in bewilderment for a few seconds

before realizing it was indeed from her floor.

However, she was the sole occupant of that floor. So, the lights shouldn’t have

been on at all.

Isabella became guarded as she immediately spun on her heel. Then, she

pulled her luggage along to the cafe across the street as a precaution.

Finally, she started to observe the people coming and going.

As it was almost dawn, people began to emerge from the building where she

lived-a total of six unfamiliar faces met her eyes. Regardless, none of that

mattered, as she could recall seeing the man leading them. That man was

Louis’ bodyguard.

Her heart sank as she started to connect the dots. She couldn’t help but

tighten her grip on the handle of her suitcase while swiftly weighing her

options.

The “Get out of Jail Free” card she had acquired from Seth was far too

precious. Therefore, she could feel herself grimacing as she thought of using

that against Louis. There was also the matter that it would be a risky

endeavor if she wanted to outsmart Louis. Plus, she also felt uncomfortable

as it was rather morally problematic.

Damn it!

She was in such a dilemma and very, very tired. Naturally, a headache

started to build behind her eyes, and the pain only intensified the longer she

thought about it. Eventually, she couldn’t help but mutter curses under her

breath in order to vent some of her frustrations. She had no choice but to

take a quick break, shielding her head from the bright lights with her arms.

and closing her eyes as she rested her head against the cool, wooden table.

The morning sunlight streaming into the cafe reminded Isabella that another

night had passed. Frankly, she felt as if the Grim Reaper was chasing her, as if

there would be endless difficulties ahead even after overcoming this

challenge.

“If only I had a grandfather who is a military general and a father who is a

president,” she grumbled while squinting her eyes, daydreaming about

parallel universes and endless possibilities.

Isabella snapped back to reality, smiled apologetically at the waiter, and

promptly ordered two slices of cake.

Sweet things had a magical way of making one feel happier. Thus, her awful

mood improved by a smidgen.

Once she had gained her bearings, she calmly dragged her luggage to the

company. Of course, she remained vigilant and only entered when she was

certain no one was around.

“Isabella, why did you return so early?” Abigail exclaimed while feigning

surprise by covering her mouth.

Isabella couldn’t be bothered with the likes of her and dragged her luggage

into the office before pouring herself a cup of strong, black coffee.
