For once, Isabella felt affection for Lara. Thanks for
the save. “This might be urgent. You should take it,
Mr. Gates.”
Simon smiled stiffly. He turned on the speaker
before answering the call.
“Simon?” Lara said, a little angry. Before Simon

could say anything, she grumbled, “What took you
so long?”
Simon massaged his forehead and looked at Seth,
resigned. “I was held up by something.”
Everyone could see that Lara was the one courting
Simon here. Lara clicked her tongue, and she
relented. “I’m at the airport. Can you pick me up?”
Go, go, go. Isabella wanted Simon to leave. Once he
was gone, this game could not continue.
Simon said gently, “I’m busy. My secretary will pick
you up.” He sounded distant, however.
Bethany whispered, “You’re heartless, Mr. Gates.”

Lara shrewdly noticed her voice. Cautiously, she
asked, “Is that a woman I hear?”
Simon heaved a sigh, his eyes filled with
impatience. He tucked his phone away and pushed
his chair back, then he stood up. “Sorry, guys. It’s
work, so I can’t stay.”
“Work’s important. You should go.” Isabella was
understanding. She broke free of Seth’s grasp and
stood up to send Simon off.

“Work?”
Simon shot him a dirty look. He had a resigned look
on his face. Then, he took his jacket and left the
room.

Once he was gone, things got a little awkward.
Gordon stood up and took the shirt off the chair. He
came over to Isabella, looking upset. With that, he
pulled her away from Seth.
Isabella staggered and almost fell.
“Calm down, Mr. Dunkstein. No one’s taking her
away.” Bethany chuckled.
Gordon huffed and looked at Seth, who was
straightening his clothes out. “I wouldn’t be so sure.
Some people love going after things they shouldn’t,
after all,”
He was forward, and Isabella froze up. She knew
I
Seth too well. He wouldn’t let anyone talk him down.

Seth let his suit open up. He then lit a cigarette and
took a deep hit. He frowned. Smoke swirled around
his head, and he turned around while narrowing his
eyes. “And how are you so sure I haven’t gotten the
thing I want?”
Dariel clicked his tongue. Bethany stuck her tongue
out and looked at Isabella, surprised.
Isabella looked calm, but she clenched her fists
and held Gordon’s hand, stopping him from going
ahead. “It’s late, Mr. Dunkstein. I’m hungry. Let’s grab
something to eat.”
Gordon realized Isabella was looking stiff. He held
his fury back and glared at Seth, then took Isabella
and left. He slammed the door shut.

Isabella felt a chilly gust of air blowing her down.
Before the door could close completely, she heard
what Bethany said.
“Where’d she used to work? Is she in this line of
work too?”

Isabella wanted to run back in and tell her that was
not the case. She only used to be Seth’s secretary.
However, she did not have the courage. Gordon
was dragging her away. Even if he wasn’t, she didn’t
have the courage to argue.
Gordon hurried ahead and dragged her to a room,
then flung the door open. Once they were inside
the room, he turned around and pinned Isabella
against the door.

Silence fell upon the room. Isabella froze for a
moment before frowning. “What is the meaning of
this?”
“Who are you to Seth?” Gordon didn’t turn on the
lights. Isabella couldn’t see his face, but she could
feel his fury.

Isabella was patient. She put some distance
between them and said honestly, “He was my boss.”
Gordon paused for a moment, caught by surprise.
He mused over his question and asked, “What kind
of boss?” He wasn’t stupid. He knew how the
workplace worked. Some bosses and employees
had extra relations behind everyone’s back.

Isabella heaved a sigh and stared at the ground.
She said weakly, “That’s my past. I want to keep it
private, so can you not ask too much?”
Gordon was silent for a moment, then he chortled
and let her go. “You wouldn’t even let me kiss you
once. And I thought you were some sort of pure,
innocent girl–you’re not.”
The mockery was sharp enough to spear Isabella’s
heart. He was telling her that even if she had quit
her work as Seth’s secretary, she would never
escape him.
“Sorry for disturbing you.” Isabella looked up and
turned around to turn on the lights.
The lights turned on. Gordon could see Isabella

clearly. She looked cold and calm, and he regretted
what he’d said earlier.
“Can you leave? I’ll pay for the room myself.” She
took out the member card from her purse and
stuffed it into Gordon’s pocket. She then turned to
the side so Gordon could leave. “Please.”
