Chapter 80
Isabella ignored Seth’s cold attitude and squeezed herself into the seat
beside him. “Mr. Shaffer, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Seth pursed his lips while looking at her as if she were an idiot. “Is something
wrong with your brain?”
“No.” Isabella shook her head solemnly. “I didn’t do well enough in the past.”
Seth frowned as he tried to discern her intentions by observing her
expression.
Across from them, Dariel and Simon listened intently while exchanging
glances from time to time.
Isabella ignored their presence and continued with a smile, “I’ve been
reflecting a lot recently, and I suddenly had an epiphany.”
Seth, who felt a cold sweat break out, gave her a mocking look. “Why didn’t
your epiphany lead you to become a monk?”
She disregarded his sarcasm and suddenly opened her purse to take out a
few sheets of paper.
“To express my apology, I’ve prepared a birthday gift for you.”
Seth’s expression turned complex. He tightly pursed his lips while showing a
look of speechlessness.
Dariel shifted his gaze over. “Oh, what is it? And it’s a birthday present?”
Simon smiled and added casually, “I remember Seth’s birthday is in winter.”
Seth sneered. “Some hypocrites don’t care about preparing beforehand.”
Isabella closed her eyes momentarily and then lifted her hand and lightly
placed a finger in front of Seth’s lips. “You’ve misunderstood.”
He didn’t care whether there was a misunderstanding or not. His gaze fell on
the finger in front of his lips, and he felt a bit annoyed. What was the point of
keeping this distance?
She unfolded the sheets of paper with a brilliant smile. “A Ghost. It’ll arrive in
two weeks. Do you like it?”
Dariel exclaimed, “It’s quite a lavish gift.”
Simon was surprised, too. “At least 750 to 900 thousand.”
This amount of money wasn’t significant to them, but for Isabella, it was
probably half of her fortune.
Isabella offered the papers. “As long as you’re happy, Mr. Shaffer, this amount
is nothing.”
Seth lowered his head to look at the papers, and a glint flashed in his dark
eyes. He then scrutinized Isabella’s face.
“Was this the car ordered by Lara?”
Isabella was speechless.
This b*stard’s mind worked quite fast.
“Of course not.” She denied emphatically while looking serious. “I wanted to
give you something, so I made a special order.”
Seth looked at her with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “No work, no pay. I
don’t need it.”
Isabella leaned closer to him. “But I’ve already bought it.”
“You tried to act smart, and it’s my fault?” He didn’t even glance at her.
Isabella persisted with a smile. “This car cost me half of my fortune.”
Seth remained unmoved.
