Leave Me Alone Mr Shaffer Novel

Witnessing Gordon eating at a roadside stall, Isabella was convinced that this was the extent of an affluent youth. However, she did not expect him to generously give money to a beggar.

Corey approached the old man at the door, handed him the money, and said something that likely meant inviting him to join them for a meal.

The man was visibly moved and wiped away tears, repeatedly thanking Corey but too embarrassed to enter the stall.

Isabella overheard a group of girls whispering. They admired Corey, commenting on his good looks and kind heart.

Just as the conversation ended, some cast curious glances toward Isabella, particularly from the girls.

When Corey returned and sat across from her, he smiled and asked, “Bella, why did you stop eating?”

“They seem like siblings…”

She curled her lips, returned a smile to Corey, and lowered her head to eat dumplings.

Isabella smiled back at him and resumed eating her dumplings.

She chose not to inquire why he carried cash. He did not bring it up either, treating it as a normal part of his routine.

As they ate, her phone buzzed. She glanced at it to see Seth’s name on the scree indicating an incoming call.

Forcing a smile, she cast a glance at Corey before answering Seth’s call with a slight tilt.

“Mr. Shaffer.”

“Where are you?”

Isabella hesitated, looking around before responding, “I’m at the office.”

Seth’s reply was sharp. “Since when did Nemotors open in Lumber Alley?”
