I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

When Seth left his office that night, Isabella rose

from her seat. At that moment, the secretaries

around her exchanged sympathetic glances, well

aware of her situation.

Once inside the car, he closed his eyes to rest but

then spoke up unexpectedly. “Human Resources

mentioned that you requested your employment

contract two days ago.”

Her heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm

and replied, “I couldn’t recall the exact date I

started working and wanted to check when I’ll be

eligible to change my permanent residence.”

He opened his eyes and looked at her side profile

with a slight smile. “I thought you disliked Shaffer

Group and were planning to leave.”

“You’re flattering me. I feel fortunate to have the

opportunity to be your secretary.” Isabella flattered

Seth calmly, but her mind was racing.

Although he didn’t say anything, her heart

continued to race. She had contemplated

resigning because he had become increasingly

demanding, and leaving Shaffer Group would bring

her closer to her desired life. Five years ago, she

had dreamt of marrying him, but she had long

since awakened from that dream.

“Mr. Shaffer, we’re here.”

Isabella’s thoughts were still in turmoil as they

pulled up at the Basilicus Hotel. At that moment,

the hotel staff, led by the manager, awaited Seth’s

arrival with utmost respect.

She composed her thoughts and followed behind

Seth. When they reached the top floor, they were novelbin

greeted by a breathtaking view of a river at night

through a massive floor–to–ceiling window.

Once the elevator doors opened, a strong scent of perfume filled the air. A blonde man in his forties

approached Seth and wanted to hug him. However,

Seth was unafraid to displease anyone and

tactfully moved aside, causing Louis to bump into Isabella.

The man’s eyes lit up as he grabbed Isabella’s

hand. “Shaffer, this woman you brought with you

looks divine.” Once those words fell, his hand

moved up her arm.

She gritted her teeth and tried to suppress her

disgust but didn’t retreat. Behind her, Seth frowned

slightly, then continued walking inside as though he

didn’t see her there.

In no time, Louis became bolder and directly

embraced her.

Despite her smile, she searched for an opportunity

to escape but found none. She even glanced at

Seth multiple times, but he remained impassive,

occasionally indulging in the flattery of an

accompanying executive.

When everyone had taken their seats, Louis, still

holding Isabella, turned to Seth and tentatively

inquired, “Shaffer, how much would it take for you

to part with this secretary of yours?”

An uncomfortable silence fell over the room as the

executives all glanced warily at Seth, afraid he

would get angry.

At the same time, she held onto the chair’s armrest,

and her back unconsciously tensed up.

“Her?” Seth raised a brow as he gave Isabella an

intriguing glance. Then, he casually mentioned, “She’s been with me for five years, so she probably wouldn’t agree to a small amount.”

Once those words were spoken, everyone

understood what he meant. They knew no powerful

man could maintain a five–year relationship with.

the same woman, so Seth must have grown weary

of her.

Listening to the repulsive laughter and wanton

flattery, Isabella took a deep breath. She met Seth’s

calm eyes while enduring Louis‘ approach to kiss

her ear. She moved aside, dodging Louis‘ kiss.

However, Seth, seated across from her, raised an

eyebrow.

“Mr. Keller, a toast.” She smiled and placed the red

wine glass beside Louis‘ lips. “Thank you for liking

me.”

The others were in an uproar, and Louis was

overjoyed. Finishing the wine with help from the

beautiful woman, he said, “Babe, you’re such a

sweetheart.”

Sensing the burning gaze coming from opposite

her, Isabella smiled even brighter. She refilled Louis‘

glass and placed it beside Louis‘ lips. “Have another

glass.”

Along with the encouragement from the men,

around him, Louis was influenced by his desire and

agreed. Then, with a tilt of her hand, she

accidentally spilled half the glass of wine onto his

chest.

“Oh, no! I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to…” She

frantically apologized, her panicked demeanor

resembling that of a trapped animal.

However, Louis wasn’t angry and grabbed her

hand. “Don’t be afraid, babe. It’s just a shirt. We can

just get changed inside the lounge.”

Initially, Isabella’s plan was to give him something

to do. She didn’t expect the scum would plan to

head straight into the lounge. She knew

accompanying him to the lounge implied an

intimate encounter, so she was slightly flustered

and subconsciously looked across the table.

“What’s the matter? Do you still need to ask your

boss for permission?” Louis grabbed Isabella’s chin

and glanced mischievously at Seth.

Chapter 3 He Gave Me Away

Meanwhile, Seth arrogantly leaned against the

chair and didn’t even spare her a glance. Instead,

he picked up his wine glass and took a sip. “Since

you stained his clothes, you should clean it up.” His

tone was monotonous and unwavering, causing

Isabella to clench her teeth in frustration.

Before she could gauge Seth’s expression, Louis

held her by the waist and pulled her up from the

seat. Surrounded by men, they all looked at her

mockingly, and none intended to speak up for her.

Feeling devastated, she could not stop Louis from

leading her away.
