I Quit, Mr. Shaffer

Chapter 18

Seth had initially used his foot to hold Isabella in

place. However, when she suddenly stood up, she

stumbled over him and tumbled over. The shirt she

wore only covered up to her thighs, so when she fell

forward, more of her body was exposed.

Retracting his leg, he leaned back against the

couch and unabashedly gazed at her. However, he

remained unrelenting in his tone. “What’s the

meaning of this? Are you persuading me to help

you by offering certain benefits in advance?”

Her face was burning, and she quickly got up from

the ground. She stood upright in front of the coffee

table. “No-”

“No?” He let out a light chuckle and glanced at her.

“Then, what is it?”

“I’m no longer your secretary but an ordinary

employee at Shaffer Group, so I shouldn’t receive

special treatment.” Isabella managed to force out

the words from her dry throat, word by word.

“Please don’t trouble yourself on my behalf.”

Meanwhile, Seth’s gaze remained fixed on her face,

tracing from her flushed cheeks to slightly pale lips.

Suddenly, he turned his head and spoke in a tone

devoid of warmth. “It appears you’ve developed

some backbone.”

She wisely chose not to argue, as confronting the

tyrant head–on would be unwise. Patience was her

best strategy when dealing with him.

“You mentioned handing over your work, right?”

Seth fell silent momentarily, seemingly thinking of

another way to tease her.

Furrowing her brows, Isabella cautiously replied,

“Yes, I’ll pass on my work notes from the past few

years to Fiona. I’ll ensure there are no mistakes in

your day–to–day activities.”

“Do you think she can handle the tasks you do?”

The man’s body leaned forward slightly as he

looked at the woman beside him with a smile that

didn’t reach his eyes.

Isabella wondered if he still desired a “personal”

secretary to manage his intimate affairs. She

silently cursed him for being driven solely by his

sexual desires but maintained her calm exterior.

“Mr. Shaffer, among the six secretaries in your

office, four have boyfriends, and the other two have

more exciting love lives and personal matters than

you do.” She lifted her head, a smile playing at the Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

corner of her lips. “Who do you think would be

suitable for the job?”

Seth resumed his expressionless demeanor, calmly remarking, “Even if they had no romantic

entanglements, I wouldn’t be interested in them.”

After hearing that, she took a deep breath. “Then, you should consider hiring a new executive

“I already have,” he replied calmly as if discussing

However, she briefly felt a wave of suffocation,

Seth studied Isabella, catching a fleeting glint of determination in her eyes. Suddenly, he felt a

mischievous thrill. “How about this? Since you have

the experience, I’ll let you handle tomorrow’s

interviews.”

“Me?” She was astonished.

He nodded, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “You’ve

been with me for five years, so you know best what

kind of secretary would suit me. It couldn’t be more

fitting for you to choose one for me.”

As soon as she heard that, she cursed inwardly,

B*stard. She would have cussed him out loud if she

hadn’t gripped the hem of her clothes. Letting his

former mistress select his new one–only he could

come up with such an idea. Then, she maintained

her composure and spoke honestly. “I have home

and work matters to attend to.”

“That’s something you’ll need to consider.” Once he

finished speaking, he stood up, hands in his

pockets, expressing clearly that he wouldn’t

tolerate nonsense. Then, he strode out and said,

“Tomorrow, 9.00AM. Don’t keep everyone waiting for
