I Quit, Mr. Shaffer

Chapter 522 Simon Was Taken Hostage

Many people had mentioned to Isabella that $eth had feelings for her, and she also had

a strong suspicion.

The only issue was that Seth had not expressed his feelings directly.

Isabella lay on the bed, pondering what she would do if Seth confessed his feelings.

Natasha stayed with her for an hour before being called upstairs by someone.

Her head was still throbbing, and she felt queasy when contemplating the situatio

She slept dizzily until it was completely dark.

During the night, someone knocked on the door. Isabella went down to open it and was

surprised to see Simon.

“Mr. Gates, why are you here?”

Simon had something in his hand and smiled, “I missed the ship yesterday due to some

circumstances, so I took a helicopter over. I heard you were in trouble, so I came to

bring you something.”

Isabella was deeply appreciative and thanked him profusely.

Simon presented her with a box of desserts, a renowned old brand from Imperia.

“Rest well. If you’re feeling better, come find us to hang out.”

Simon was always considerate, and Isabella conversed with him at the door without

any pressure.

After he left, she took the items back to her room. Upon opening the box, a delightful

aroma wafted out.

She indulged in the treats, and her energy gradually returned.

After resting for a while, she felt it was only suitable to go upstairs and greet Seth.

Otherwise, it would be presumptuous.

As she stepped out of the door and approached the elevator, she spotted Simon

emerging from the stairwell.

“Mr. Gates?”

As the words left her mouth, she noticed someone standing behind Simon.

Indeed, as she spoke, Simon appeared to tense up and turned to face her with the

person behind him.

“Are you heading upstairs?”

Isabella nodded and glanced past him.

It was a girl.

Her gaze carried a hint of coldness with neat, short hair, sharp brows, and

She stood silently behind Simon, not offering any greeting.

eyes.

Isabella observed her demanding attire, giving off a sharp and unconventional vibe.

“Oh. I’m going upstairs to find Natasha.”

She smiled at Simon and kept her words brief after regaining her composure.

“Then

go

ahead. I’ll be up shortly as well.” Simon smiled.

Isabella nodded, lifted her foot, and entered the elevator.

The elevator doors closed.

Her pupils dilated instantly, pressing the elevator button fervently, wishing she could

teleport to the top floor.

Although it was just a glance, she saw the girl holding a wooden barrel behind Simon,

seemingly threatening him.

Could it be the remnants of the casino?

Ding.

The elevator opened.

She hurriedly stepped out, refraining from running too fast out of fear that there

be others nearby.

Upon reaching the room Natasha had mentioned, she raised her hand and knocked of

the door.

Bloom answered.

“Isabella is here. Come in.”

Isabella cleared her throat. “I’m looking for Seth Shaffer.”

Bloom hesitated. “Don’t you want to come in and talk?”

Isabella shook her head. “No.”

It was crowded inside, and it might not be safer than outside.

Bloom shouted, “Mr. Shaffer, Isabella wants to speak with you privately!”

Isabella was curious.

“Oh…” A commotion ensued.

“Why can’t she come in and talk?”

“Is there something we can’t hear?”

Isabella felt overwhelmed. If they kept babbling, Simon might be in danger.

“Stop babbling. Please call Mr. Shaffer out.” Bloom was quite astute, turned to Isabe

with a smirk, then shouted again inside.

Before long, Seth emerged, accompanied by a chorus of cheers from behind.

Upon reaching the door, Isabella impatiently grabbed him and pulled him outside.

Immediately, cheers filled the air.

Seth lifted his chin, attempting to uphold his aloof demeanor as best as possible.
