Isabella got up early in the morning to get the discharge procedures done
after spending a night in the hospital.

The doctor took pity on her when he sensed her urgency. “Young people from
out of town like you really are hardworking. What’s so good about Imperia?
People of your talent would be much better off back home than here.”
Isabella shot him a wry smile. It’s not that I want to stay; it’s that the top dog
in Imperia is holding me back from leaving. She limped to collect her
medications before going downstairs to hail a cab back to her office. As soon
as she stepped out of the hospital, her phone started ringing. When she
noticed a string of unfamiliar numbers, she warily answered the call.
“Hello, may I speak to Miss Symons?”

Huh? Isabella was startled for a moment. “Are you… Mr. Shaffer?”

“Yes, it’s me.” The old man’s affable voice came through the phone.
Isabella let out a sigh of relief. Nonetheless, she hadn’t even managed to
relax for a second when her heart started to pound against her rib cage in
fear. “Do you need anything from me?”
“Would it be convenient for you to bring meals to Mr. Shaffer today?” asked
the butler.
Isabella was puzzled. I only did it yesterday because it just so happened that I
was at Shaffer Residence then. So, what’s up with his request today? Are the
Shaffers so understaffed that they don’t even have a single errand boy to
deliver their meals to them?

“Mr. Shaffer has been in a bad mood these past couple of days. He hardly
touches the meals delivered by others,” explained the butler.
Isabella instinctively rolled her eyes. “Let him starve for a couple of days.”
Mr. Shaffer was lost for words for a moment. “That’s a good idea, but I’m on
the Shaffer Family’s payroll.”
You’re on their payroll, but I’m most certainly not, thought Isabella.
The butler replied, “Well, yesterday’s deal still stands. You still owe over 90
thousand, but I’ll give you a discount. Just six more days of meal delivery will
suffice.” His hearty laughter carried a tone of ‘You’ve got a great deal,’
showcasing the Shaffer Family’s mystifying self-confidence.
Isabella tried to make a retort, only to find herself at a loss for words. “I’m in

the hospital right now, so it’s not convenient for me to do such a thing.”
“You may go around as you please. I’ll send someone to pick you up when it’s
time,” replied the butler, still smiling.”
Isabella couldn’t even be bothered to roll her eyes at this point. She checked
the time on her phone before reluctantly agreeing, “Fine…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Shaffer hung up the phone. His swift
actions made it seem as if he was afraid that she might change her mind.
Isabella clicked her tongue repeatedly as she stared at her reflection on her
phone’s screen, feeling increasingly uneasy. I might’ve been too harsh on
myself. I wonder if there’ll be any scars. “Seth will probably accuse me of
assaulting his eyes with my injuries if he sees me.”

It was still early, and she had no intention of returning to her office. Instead,
she went straight to the mall, preparing to buy herself a new outfit. Besides,
she really couldn’t bring herself to walk around with such a battered
appearance.
She bought herself a long-sleeved shirt and pants, complementing them
