Chapter 13

Isabella went to welcome Fiona, and a lot of people

saw that.

“I can’t believe you quit your job just to work here,

Isabella.” Fiona sat down, looking uncomfortable.

She looked at her surroundings with contempt.

Isabella got her glass of water. She forced herself to

look relaxed. “Office job almost dulled my skills. I got

another job so I can gain enough experience to set

“I see.” Fiona looked like realization had struck her.

She held Isabella’s arm. “I thought it was weird that

you left when Mr. Shaffer needed you so much.”

Fiona wasn’t subtle with her comment, so everyone

got what she was saying, but Isabella didn’t argue.

Instead, she picked up the notes that she had

sorted out and told Fiona about Seth’s preferences.

Isabella did this on purpose. Through Fiona, she

was telling everyone she wasn’t exiled but sent

here to see what the lower echelons were like.

Fiona listened intently and stayed until lunch break was over. Before she left, she stood at the doorway

and spoke to Isabella. “You have to come back

sooner or later. Mr. Shaffer has a ton of stuff to deal

with, and we have to help him out.”

You want me to go back? For what? So, you can

bully me again? Isabella knew this was just a fake

courtesy, and she played along. “Oh, you don’t

need me. You’re a veteran, too. I’m sure you can be

the head secretary. I trust you.”

Fiona had a smug look in her eyes. She made small

talk with Isabella before she drove away.

After Isabella came back from sending Fiona off,

many people came to curry favor with her. Even

Jonas made small talk with her.

Isabella answered them courteously.

Not too long after that, Abigail brought Isabella a

cup of milk tea. Her cheeks were still swollen, but

she simpered. “Isabella, I’ve thought about it. The

credit should go to you, not me.”

Isabella despised people like her, and she

sardonically said, “Oh, it belongs to you. You’ve

worked hard the whole afternoon, after all.”

“I can’t. You’re my colleague, and a new one at that.

You need the credit more than I do.” Abigail blinked.

When she looked down, a drop of tear rolled down

her cheek. If she hadn’t pulled the rug out from

underneath Fiona, I could have taken all the credit. I

Isabella acted like she was hesitating before she

sighed. “Fine. I’ll take it, then.”

“That’s good to hear.” Abigail patted her chest and

wiped her tears away. “It wouldn’t sit right with me

otherwise.”

Yeah, right. A hint of scorn flickered in Isabella’s

eyes. She then poked a straw into the cup of milk

tea. “Get back to work.”

“See you.”

Isabella saw her off and rolled her eyes.

Isabella was trying to come up with a marketing

plan when her phone vibrated. It was a text from

Alex Young. The gist of it was that there was an

evaluation at the end of the month.

The fact that Isabella was an outside hire was

already not sitting well with the office. Things would

be bad for her if her performance weren’t up to par.

The sales she made the day prior were due to

sheer luck. A newbie salesperson like her couldn’t

have closed a deal on her first day.

Now that she was feeling the stress, she was

motivated to do better. Isabella quickly set aside.

her thoughts about Seth and put all her focus on

work.

It was about six. Fiona ordered Seth’s usual food as

per Isabella’s tips. Once the food arrived, she

carefully took them into the office. “It’s late, Mr.

Shaffer. You should eat dinner first.”

Seth was behind his desk, frowning. The air around

him was sharp and icy. He signed another

document fluidly, not even raising his head.

Fiona felt a chill running down her spine. It was

risky, but she asked, “Are you sure you’re not

eating?”

Seth skewered Fiona with a sharp, icy look. If looks

could kill, she would have died.

Feeling slightly wronged, Fiona muttered, “Isabella

said your gastric would act up if you didn’t eat.”

Seth’s gaze turned icier than ever. He capped his

“Yes.” Since Seth was interested, she continued, “I

“Yes.” Since Seth was interested, she continued, “I

met with her earlier in the afternoon, and she told

me so much about you.”

A slight sneer curled Seth’s lips. He tossed his pen

away and got up to straighten his collar. Slowly, he

walked to the coffee table. There were fried fish

filets, orange chicken, clam chowder, and aglio olio

there. There’s more than one type of cuisine here.

She obviously ordered them from multiple

restaurants.

Nervous, Fiona observed the look on Seth’s face.

“Mr. Shaffer?”

“You believed everything she said?” Seth shot her

an icy look.

Fiona froze. “I-”

“What the hell is this? You think I’d eat these?” Seth’s

face fell. He was furious as he enunciated, “I don’t

want to see anything this stupid anymore.”

Fiona was flabbergasted. She had seen what

Isabella ordered previously, and these were indeed

on the menu.

“Isabella’s nothing. You think the secretary

department can’t run without her?” Seth hissed

coldly.

Fiona felt like crying. She hated Isabella for telling

her all this. I shouldn’t have even gone all the way

there. That place was filthy.

Seth scanned the food on the table coldly. Then, he

walked to his desk and called HR. “Issue a public

notice. We’re hiring a head secretary.”

Fiona was flummoxed.
