Chapter 82 Deal With That Man Sooner or Later
Seth grabbed the glass before Isabella could, raised it to his lips, and finished
it in one fell swoop.
Tap!
He placed the empty glass on the table and met Isabella’s confused gaze.
“Three cups are finished, so you can leave now.”
Isabella had been eagerly waiting for that word ‘leave,’ and hearing it made
her almost tear up out of gratefulness. She clutched her stomach, struggled
to get off the
stool, and stared at Seth. “Mr. Shaffer, you have to keep
