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.
