Gordon and Selena’s eyes widened. Only Dariel wore a strange smile. Isabella
shrank back, feeling a little confused about the situation. She gulped and
said, “There’s no need-”
“The company’s share prices cannot afford another one of your pranks,” Seth
interrupted.
Isabella couldn’t say anything. She looked at Gordon, silently urging him to
put her down.
Gordon sensed that something bad was about to happen and objected, “Are
you going with him? He could take you anywhere.”
Isabella agreed, but she couldn’t say it out loud, or it would sound like she
was trying to avoid Seth in case he tried to come after her. She patted
Gordon’s shoulder and quietly said, “Just put me down.”
Annoyed, Gordon glared at Seth. He then lowered his head and threw a little

Suddenly, Seth emerged from the elevator. Dariel followed him and
exaggeratedly blew on his fingers. “Pressing that button for so long killed my
finger.”

Isabella pursed her lips and tensed up. With hesitation, she looked at Seth
and said, “Give us…” a moment. She couldn’t finish her sentence before Seth
approached them and kicked Gordon without warning.
Caught off guard, Gordon’s legs buckled, and he fell to one knee. He was
holding Isabella, but as he fell forward, Isabella was thrown away. With the
higher ground, Seth raised his hands and easily caught Isabella.
Isabella felt disoriented. Before she realized it, she was already in Seth’s arms.
Surprised, she grabbed Seth’s collar.
“Mr. Shaffer,” Selena cried, dismayed.
Dariel stepped forward. Before Gordon could stand up, Dariel stood in front of
Seth and put an arm around Gordon’s neck. “Calm down, lad.”
While Gordon was distracted by Dariel, Seth turned around and entered the
elevator with Isabella. Selena tried to follow, but Seth shot her an icy look.

“You may clock out now,” Seth said coldly. He pressed the elevator button.
with the hand he was holding Isabella’s waist with. The elevator doors slowly
closed, blocking Selena’s shocked expression and dashing Isabella’s hope of
escape.
Isabella was trapped in Seth’s arms, and she tensed up. Instead of holding
her gently, Seth was more like handling her as if she were a platter. “If you go
out holding me like this, the company will still make headlines tomorrow.”
Seth didn’t even look at her. He said, “Every wealthy man has a scandal or

Isabella felt her heart pounding as she was stared at, and a hint of color
returned to her face. When they finally left the crowd behind, Seth led her to
the underground car park. Isabella quickly sat up and reminded Seth,
“Paparazzi love staking out car parks.”

Seth gave her a look and sarcastically replied, “What a coincidence. My car
loves the car park too.”
Isabella’s lips twitched, and she stopped feeling nervous. Instead, she
decided to go with the flow. She relaxed and leaned closer to Seth’s chest.
Quietly, she said, “You don’t have to keep attacking me, Mr. Shaffer.”
Seth frowned. He was going to tell her that she was overthinking things. He
had no time to deal with insignificant people like her.
Isabella continued, “We’ve been intimate for five years. That counts for

Seth entered the car park. The moment Isabella said those words, Seth heard
someone clicking the shutter. His expression darkened, and he headed
towards the sound.
