When they arrived at the company entrance,
Gordon stopped the car but didn’t let Isabella leave
immediately. “There’s a horse ranch opening
tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?”
Isabella felt a bit uneasy because she used to
frequent such places with Seth, and running into

acquaintances might be awkward.
Seeing her hesitation, Gordon clicked his tongue.
“My buddies are all into cars. Maybe you’ll meet
someone looking to buy a car.”
No wonder they said young girls entering the
workforce should be cautious. There were traps
everywhere. Thinking of that, Isabella felt wary but
maintained her pitiful expression and nodded.
“Alright. Just give me the address, and I’ll go on my
own.”
“There’s no need.” Gordon extended his arm, resting
it on the back of her seat. The light refracted from
his ear stud shone on the corner of his lips as he
grinned unabashedly. “I’ll come pick you up

tomorrow.”

Since their conversation had reached this point,
there was no point in pretending any further. After
thanking him repeatedly and maintaining her
courtesy, Isabella quickly opened the door and got
out of the car.
Once she escaped the car’s pungent air freshener,
she turned around and smiled politely at Gordon
while watching him drive away.
Right after he left, she instantly reverted to a cool
demeanor, resembling an eccentric person.
With her wet hair, she entered the company and
received strange gazes from all around her. But she
didn’t mind any of them and emotionlessly headed

inside. Just as she was about to head to the break
room and change her clothes, Alex came over and
knocked on her desk. “There’s a big shot waiting for
you in the VIP lounge.”
Isabella furrowed her brows slightly and nodded to
Alex. Then, she got up to head to the lounge.
Pushing open the door, she was met with a clean
and refined face.
“Hello, Isabella.”
Isabella had thought of many possibilities of who it
could be, but she hadn’t expected it to be Selena,
someone she had only had a brief encounter with.
“Hello.”
Selena seemed a hit hashful and gestured for

Selena seemed a bit bashful and gestured for
Isabella to sit down. Then, she hesitantly asked,
“Isabella, do you have time to join me for lunch? I
have some questions I’d like to ask you.”

Isabella hadn’t planned to talk to Selena in the
office in the first place, so she immediately nodded
and suggested a nearby restaurant in the mall.
Selena seemed quite natural and agreed to it.
Isabella thought Selena was just an ordinary
struggling student, but upon entering the mall, she
realized it wasn’t quite like that. The young woman.
didn’t seem intimidated at all by luxury brands, and
when it came to ordering food, she was confident
and unreserved, showing no signs of timidness.

once, and I shouldn’t be bothering you this way, but
after careful consideration, I think I should seek
your advice.” Before the food was served, Selena
wore a disheartened expression and spoke softly,
almost to the point of whispering.
Isabella bowed her head to sip her tea and didn’t
pretend to be a knowing elder. Instead, she coldly
asked, “Is there a problem at work?”
Biting her lip, Selena blushed and replied, “It’s about
Mr. Shaffer.”

Isabella drank a large gulp of cold water to cool
down the heat that surged inside her. She calmly
asked, “Has Mr. Shaffer been causing you trouble?”
“No.” Selena immediately shook her head. Her
hands flitted nervously as she lowered her head,
her hair concealing half her face. “He’s been too
kind to me. I’m a bit lost and don’t know how to
repay him.”
Ha! Just offer yourself. That should be enough.
There’s no need to think about anything else.

Isabella almost slammed her cup onto the table. It
wasn’t that she disliked Selena, but it was a bit
ridiculous for the old lover to sit here and listen to
the new favorite discuss her inner struggles. At that
moment. she wanted to tell Selena that Seth wasn’t

only kind to her because there was a living
example before her.
“Isabella, could you tell me about Mr. Shaffer’s
preferences? That way, I can take care of his daily
needs.” Raising her head to reveal her clean and
clear eyes, Selena folded her hands in front of her
chest. The sight of her resembled that of a bunny.
Isabella sighed, but she remained calm. “I’ve
already told everything to Fiona, so you can just
ask her. There’s nothing special.”
Selena looked slightly disappointed and lowered
her head, her hands tightly clenched before her. “I
see. I’ll go back and ask Fiona again.”
“If there’s nothing else, I need to get back to work.

This place is quite far from the headquarters, so
you’d better not waste your time coming over
again.” Isabella stood up, preparing to leave.
Seeing that, Selena quickly got up as well and
urgently asked, “Isabella, is there anything special I
should pay attention to when working for Mr.
Shaffer?”
Isabella hesitated for a moment, then left a
sentence before continuing on her way. “He’s
severely allergic to mangoes. Even a tiny bit of juice
can make him feel dizzy.”
“What about alcohol?” Selena pursued, her eyes full
of anticipation.
At that point, Isabella had completely lost her
