The young heiress sat on the couch with her legs elegantly crossed. She was
wearing a red dress and exuded confidence and grace. There was a cup of
coffee in front of her. Yet, she merely touched the cup and did not bother to
take a sip. She was obviously disdainful of the instant coffee served in such
places.
Isabella was rooted to the stop and momentarily taken aback. The person in
her plan was unexpectedly right in front of her.
“Miss Shaffer?”
Lara had delicate features. So, she was an antithesis to Seth’s coldness as
her beauty was as fiery as the dress she was wearing today. Perhaps this
was due to her mother, who was a famous singer. As a result, she was born

extraordinary and looked even more exceptional up close. Every move she
made exuded charm and nobility.

“I heard from Summer that you’re here. So, I decided to visit you when i
happened to pass by.”
Isabella couldn’t help but find that excuse suspicious. She never had any
contact with Lara prior to this. If anything, they weren’t on good terms at all.
She still remembered that they had gotten into a dispute at Seth’s office two
years ago. At that time, Isabella only had Seth in her heart and mind. So, she
forced herself to intervene and prevent Lara from using the company seal to
approve a contract worth 3 million.
There was a longstanding grudge between them. Isabella still remembered
the burning sensation on her face.

“Miss Shaffer, you’re too kind.” Isabella shelved the memories and stood at a
distance. “You’re a busy person. It’s a waste of your time to come and visit
me.”

“You’re not just an ordinary person.” Lara raised an eyebrow. Amidst her
beauty, there was a hint of calculation. She regarded Isabella carefully and
said, “Seth truly is an unreasonable man. How can he leave a talent like you
here? Doesn’t he care about you at all?”
Although Lara was Seth’s aunt, she wasn’t Jeremy Shaffer’s biological sister.
Instead, she was the illegitimate daughter of Spencer Shaffer and a young
female celebrity. Back then, Spencer only married her mother for the sake of
his career and reputation. Thus, Lara was only two years younger than Seth. It
was actually quite funny for Isabella to hear her call Seth by his name,
especially when the woman would pull seniority each and every time she did

“I’m just a simple employee. The Shaffer Group has plenty of talents working
under them. I’m sure they won’t miss me.” Isabella’s tone was modest,
refusing to play along with Lara.

Lara’s smile deepened. Then, she opened her purse and whisked out a
business card.
“He might be willing to let you go, but I’m not. Fortunately, I’ve just partnered
with a friend to start a talent agency. Why don’t you join me?”
This was a straightforward attempt to poach her. Abigail and Alex, who were
standing nearby, couldn’t help but glance at Isabella’s face. Even the
employees who dared not approach had started to whisper amongst
themselves. They couldn’t help but feel vindicated as they had all assumed
that Isabella was merely here to experience what it was like to be working.
