I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 56

Isabella screamed in her heart. She wanted to turn around and pull Seth’s

head off. God, how did his parents raise him? He’s as stubborn as a mule. She

had something to gain from him, however, so she couldn’t let things go silent,

or she’d have worked for nothing.

Just when she was about to say something, Nicolas’ voice came in. “Mr.

Shaffer, Selena brought something. Should I bring it inside?”

Isabella chortled silently and refused to speak anymore. Seth didn’t open his

eyes either, but he didn’t object.

Nicolas carefully opened the door and came in with a backpack. Isabella saw

him taking out a blanket, and he handed it to Seth. “Here, cover yourself, sir.

You’ll catch a cold here.”

Seth frowned in frustration, but he took the blanket and said, “Leave and find

a place to sleep. Don’t disturb me.”

“Yes, sir.”

Isabella pouted and glanced at the backpack. Aside from the blanket, there

were clothes and bathing supplies. Man, she’s working like she’s his wife. She

started another conversation. “Do you think Selena’s good enough, Mr.

Shaffer?”

Seth frowned. The exhaustion was annoying him. He took a deep breath.

“Shut it.”

Isabella rolled her eyes. She lay back down on her bed and finished rubbing

the salve over her ankle. She could rest, so she lay on her back fully.
