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.

then spoke up unexpectedly. “Human Resources

mentioned that you requested your employment

contract two days ago.”

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.”

with a slight smile. “I thought you disliked Shaffer

Group and were planning to leave.”

had dreamt of marrying him, but she had long

since awakened from that dream.

pulled up at the Basilicus Hotel. At that moment,

arrival with utmost respect.
