I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 78

Isabella spent extravagantly by swiping her card for 600 thousand. The

crowd gathered and gossiped all the while.

Gordon stood nearby, and his expression was grim. When Isabella brought

out the card, he was certain that it was from Seth.

“Isabella, the final payment has been processed. The car should arrive in

about two weeks.” Someone from the contract department handed the

finalized contract to Isabella.

She accepted it while maintaining a cold demeanor. “Thank you.”

The surroundings fell silent until someone, maybe emboldened by the others,

started offering consoling words to Isabella for acquiring the Ghost.

Upon feeling the pinch of that hard-earned commitment, Isabella found

everyone irritating; she didn’t even bother with a perfunctory response.

Jonas had thought of approaching her several times to ease the tension, but

her icy demeanor forced him to retreat. He felt very frustrated and wanted to

speak up, but Gordon had already pushed through the crowd and pulled

Isabella from her seat.

Isabella was disinterested in hearing these people’s nonsense, so she

followed Gordon out of the company.

It was past lunchtime, around 2.00PM. The sun was bright outside.

Without much ado, Isabella got into Gordon’s car and asked him to turn on

the air conditioning.

“I’ll take a nap. I’m really tired.”

Gordon was somewhat surprised. Isabella had been very cautious around

him in the past, but now she trusted him enough to sleep in his car. This

change in attitude was a significant turning point.
