I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 48

The room was dark. Someone knocking on the door at this moment was like

getting smacked on the back when someone was walking in the night.

Isabella didn’t make a sound. She went to the door and looked through the

tucked her laptop away and turned on the faucet in the bathroom.

As expected, a while later, the lock started to creak. Isabella held her phone

and stood by the window. She looked down and jumped off without

gone. He would not stop that easily.

She reached a quiet corner and called Natasha. It took Natasha a while

before she picked up. Natasha sent a couple of men over to her as promised,

and she said, “Don’t do anything until my men get there. Stay safe.”

Isabella agreed. She then hung up and waited at the roadside. There were

people all around, and she felt awkward standing around like a mannequin.
