I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 16

Isabella was perched on the edge of the couch, her

head spinning and her body in disarray. She felt like

she was falling apart. A faint, cool scent enveloped

her–Seth’s preferred cologne. It used to be alluring,

but now it was overwhelming.

“Miss Symons, Kate has a quick temper. Since I

offended you today, let me offer you a toast. hope

you can forgive her.” Harold’s tone was gentle as he

reached for a bottle of wine to pour himself a drink.

However, Caitlin interjected angrily, “What are you

apologizing for? It’s not your fault.”

“If it’s not his fault, is it your fault then?” With

Natasha in his arms, Dariel looked at Caitlin and

spoke as though he were joking.

Caitlin opened her mouth to retort but met Seth’s

stern gaze. She shuddered and found herself

unable to speak. In the eyes of her peers, Seth was

like a tyrant from Hell. No one dared to provoke him

unless they were seeking death.

“There’s no need for apologies.” Isabella got up

from the couch and half–squatted in front of the

coffee table before taking the bottle of wine from

Harold’s hand. Her voice was hoarse and

unpleasant to the ears. “It was my fault for standing

in the wrong place and causing Miss Hunter to

misunderstand. I’ll make amends with a drink.”
