Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Isabella inexplicably panicked when she heard about it. She immediately

made a call, but Lara’s assistant seemed helpless as she stated that her

boss wasn’t sick and since they paid a deposit, they would want the car.

“Don’t call again. Miss Shaffer is very busy.”

Isabella felt frustrated. She didn’t want this deal at all; it was pushed to her by

Lara, yet now it seemed like she was the one chasing after it.

She hung up the phone, confirmed the details with her colleague from the

contract department, and returned to her office while feeling uneasy.

Natasha suddenly called when it was almost time to get off work. She invited

Isabella to the opening banquet of a new store in Bleaktown.

“I won’t go. I’m exhausted these days, and my feet are still hurting.”

Natasha arranged for someone to wait for her at the station.

She had gone several days without proper sleep and had a severe injury to

her foot, but she was having a night out now. She felt she was a bit crazy.

At the high-speed rail station, she almost fell asleep but managed to board

the train before collapsing.

She dozed off and was woken up by the train attendant upon arrival.

After rubbing her face, she got off the train with her bag, and there she saw

the person Natasha arranged. It was someone from Goldland Lounge whom

she recognized.

“The store is crowded. Otherwise, Natasha would have come herself.”

Isabella smiled and said it was fine while the person warmly talked about the

bustling situation in the store, the big shots who arrived, and how she

admired Natasha’s ability.

Isabella thought that Dariel was indeed a generous financier. Natasha had
