Isabella stumbled before regaining her balance in the pool.
She was panting heavily and too exhausted to even glare at him.
Seth crouched by the poolside and laughed at her without a care. Then he reached out

Isabella shot him a disdainful look. She didn’t trust him at all and turned to walk

Seth watched her with her face pressed against the ladder, panting slightly and looking
like a little otter.
“Out of breath so soon?”
Isabella snorted, taking her time to recover without saying a word.
Seth was in no hurry. He turned around, lifted the cat aside, and sat on the bench.
The summer night was cool, with a gentle breeze carrying a faint scent of flowers. It

Isabella was speechless. She was just trying to avoid the situation. It had nothing to do
with acting like a quail.
“Not my social circle. I’m not looking to fit in,” she clarified.
Seth pursed his lips and was silent for a moment.
It wasn’t her social circle, but his.
“When you started at the company five years ago, the secretary’s office wasn’t really
your circle, but I noticed you mingling quite happily.”
Isabella opened her eyes and stared blankly at the calm water surface for a while.

He wasn’t pleased either, so he seized nearby flowers and aggressively tossed them at
her.
