I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Isabella Symons frowned as she awoke from a

restless dream and turned over uncomfortably. As

she moved, she suddenly realized there was

someone else beside her. She clenched her teeth

and reached for the bedside lamp, which, when

turned on, caused the man next to her to exhale in

frustration.

The dim light revealed the man’s naked back,

casting intriguing shadows on his well–defined

profile.

She got out of bed and tiptoed to the closer to

change clothes before returning to the bed. She

touched the man’s back and said, “Mr. Shaffer, it’s

6.06AM. You have a meeting at 7.30AM.”

The man let out an exasperated sigh and brushed

off her hand. In a raspy voice, he ordered, “Go

away!”

Isabella was accustomed to such treatment, so she

calmly got up and quietly headed downstairs to

prepare breakfast. She ate her meal stoically and

then hailed a cab to the company. All of that was

done without disturbing Seth Shaffer.

Once the lights were switched off in the room, she

transformed into Seth’s personal plaything.

However, once outside the room, she was the

executive secretary for the Shaffer Group’s

president.

After arriving at the company, she efficiently

organized everything and stood outside the

conference room with a cold expression, waiting.

Everyone who walked past her would respectfully

greet her.

At 7.28AM, the president’s private elevator chimed,

and Isabella felt relieved. She then left the

conference room and stood in anticipation.

Seth was nearly six feet tall and appeared

imposing from a distance. With his thin lips and fair

complexion, his face always seemed stern, giving

the impression of a naturally cold personality. Even

though she stood at just 168cm, she appeared frail

when facing him.

Without glancing at her, he acted as though they

hadn’t been in bed together last night.

Since it would be a long meeting, she returned to

the secretarial office to order breakfast for him.

While perusing the menu, another secretary, Fiona

Knox, approached her and inquired, “Isabella, have

you seen Mr. Shaffer’s schedule for this afternoon?”

Isabella shook her head. “Is there something wrong

with it?”

After smacking her lips, Fiona whispered, “Mr.

Shaffer has a business dinner tonight with Louis

Kessler, the Shine Corp.’s regional executive

director.”

Isabella racked her memory for information on that

name and instantly recalled it. Louis was notorious

for using his status to harass female employees.

There was even once when he drugged the head

secretary of a partner company. According to

rumors, he had audaciously pursued Seth’s aunt,

Lara Shaffer.

If Seth was meeting Louis, he would surely bring a

secretary with him. Given the circumstances, it was

apparent that the other secretaries were likely

hesitant to accompany Seth. This was the reason

Fiona had come to discuss it with Isabella.

Isabella pursed her lips and calmly replied, “Don’t

worry. Mr. Shaffer may not choose any of us.”

However, once she finished speaking, the door to

the secretarial office was pushed open, and the

newbie, Norah Monroe, peeked out before

cautiously glancing at Isabella. “Isabella, Mr. Shaffer

is looking for you.”

After quickly placing her food order, Isabella left the

secretarial office impassively. It had been five years

since her relationship with Seth started. She had

just joined the company not long ago and was

already tricked into sleeping with him inside his

lounge. Though he had encountered several

demanding customers, he had never made her do

anything despicable.

Inside his office, Seth calmly signed a document

without lifting his gaze. “Get ready. There’s a

business dinner tonight.”

Her steps faltered momentarily.

Not hearing her response, he frowned and raised

his head to look at her. “Isabella?”

She quickly returned to her senses, but she

remained unfazed. “Yes, Mr. Shaffer.”

He threw the document at her with a cold

expression. “How long have you been with me?”

Not understanding what he meant, she replied

calmly, “Five years.”

“Then, act like it and do your job properly.”

“Yes, Mr. Shaffer.” Without showing any change of

expression, Isabella’s hands felt cold as she
