Chapter 19
The following morning at 9.00AM, Isabella sat in the
Interview room and recalled what Natasha had
said earlier in the morning, feeling both annoyed
and amused. “You should go. Pick out some flawed
candidates for him and see if he can bear it,” she
said.

However, Isabella dared not tease Seth. She hadn’t
even dared to do so when she was his executive
secretary, let alone now. As a mere salesperson,
she had to consider Jonas‘ disapproving attitude
even when they wanted to take the day off, so
crossing Seth would be asking for trouble.
All her former colleagues from the secretary
department were present. Their expressions varied
when they saw Isabella, but they still greeted her
nonetheless. Only Fiona wore her heart on her
sleeve and didn’t greet Isabella.
Isabella thought Fiona was probably upset that she
didn’t get the position of executive secretary, and
she couldn’t help but smile wryly. Even a hot potato
like Seth had people fighting over him.

“Isabella, shall we begin?” One of the secretaries, Ellie Gardner, asked for Isabella’s opinion.

Isabella sat in the main seat, a bit surprised. “Are
you the only interviewer?”
Ellie replied with a smile, “Mr. Shaffer still trusts you.
You have the final say.
Upon hearing that, Isabella furrowed her brows
slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable when she
sensed something amiss.
She adjusted her glasses. “Let them all in, then.”
“Okay.”
Isabella usually didn’t wear glasses, but her face

still bore some marks from the previous night’s
incident. It couldn’t be concealed, so she had to
wear glasses. With her glasses on, she exuded a
cold demeanor. No one could guess the emotions
in her eyes, which were hidden behind those
lenses.
Three women came in for the first round of
interviews.
All of them were graduates from prestigious
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtuniversities and had impressive educational
backgrounds. They were not only smart but also
attractive. With their distinct features and shapely
figures, they looked lively yet captivating.
“Most of your information is already on your

resumes, so I won’t ask about that.” Isabella closed

the resumes and interlocked her hands. “Do any of
you have boyfriends?”
The three women were momentarily taken aback
but hesitated for a moment before answering in
unison, “No.”
Isabella pursed her lips, a glint of sharpness
flashing in her eyes behind the glasses. “How about
ex–boyfriends? How many partners have you had
before?”
Since her question was too direct, it made the
others feel uncomfortable.
“We just graduated. How many ex–boyfriends can
we possibly have?” One of the girls with long hair
Candy Crush Saga Play Now
couldn’t help but frown. She sounded quite
unfriendly.
Isabella’s expression remained unchanged. “Miss
Celia Stark, right?”
The woman with long hair snorted but didn’t say
anything.
Isabella continued coldly, “You had two
ex–boyfriends in your freshman year. Then, during
sophomore year, you hooked up with a wealthy
man, almost driving his wife into ending her life.
You went abroad during the last two years of
college and had six boyfriends. Five were
foreigners, and the last one was biracial.”
There were seven to eight people in the room, and

they all couldn’t help but click their tongues.
As soon as the first sentence was uttered, Celia
instantly turned pale. By the time Isabella finished,
the former’s originally delicate and rosy face had turned as red as a beet.

She shot up from her chair and pointed at Isabella.
“Did you dig into my background?!”
With a polite yet cold smile, Isabella responded,
“Shaffer Group is one of the most comprehensive,
leading enterprises in the country, and the value of
the company’s image is immeasurable. You are
interviewing for the position of the president’s
executive secretary. If your private life is not in
order and gets exposed in the future, people will go
around saying there’s a problematic president’s

secretary in the Shaffer Group. Do you think that’d
be appropriate?”
After she spoke, everyone from the secretarial
office found it reasonable. Even the candidates
interviewing alongside Celia moved a bit farther
away from her, afraid of being associated with her.
“You’re insane!” Celia kicked a chair, not bothering
to explain, and stormed out of the room.
Isabella remained unfazed and instructed
someone to close the door.
“Deborah Barron, Madeleine Bradley,” she
announced calmly.
“My private life is pretty boring, to say the least.”

Those two had short hair and looked witty. When
they spoke, they had a kind of delicate and gentle
charm that was characteristic of southern women.
Isabella smiled. “Both of you have gone under the
knife, am I right?”
“Why does the company care if we’ve had plastic
surgery or not?”
“Exactly. Is it wrong to make myself look prettier?”
Isabella remained composed and said calmly, “I
assume you both have seen the recruitment
advertisement. You know that the main body of this
recruitment is not the Shaffer Group, right?”

Moreover, Seth’s appearance alone was enough to
attract plenty of young women, even without his
current status.
Sure enough, after Isabella finished speaking, both
girls blushed.
They were both graduates in secretarial studies, so they naturally knew the specific requirements for
personal assistant positions.
“Mr. Shaffer has very high requirements for his
executive secretary. He values both hygiene and
the natural human body. As for situations like what
just happened, the probability of hygiene issues

With her arms crossed, Isabella leaned against the
chair and lowered her gaze to Deborah’s chest.
“Can both of you guarantee that the implants in
your bodies won’t deform due to vigorous activity?
Will it not affect…. suppleness?”
Pfft-
As soon as Isabella finished speaking, both
interviewers from the secretary department
spewed out their coffee before the interviewees
could start feeling anxious. Then, they looked at Isabella with admiration.
“We thought a large corporation like Shaffer Group

wouldn’t be involved in such despicable dealings.
You’ve proved us wrong. This has gone overboard!”
The two girls who had undergone cosmetic surgery
stood up in unison, indignant. Their words were
filled with righteousness, claiming that they never
had such impure intentions. They pointed at
Isabella and delivered a moral critique before
carrying their bags and storming away.
Keeping her expression composed, Isabella
efficiently marked Xs on the three resumes. Then,
she looked up. “Bring in the next batch.”
