I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 242

1/8

Isabella followed the crowd but quickly realized something was wrong. The person in

front of her didn’t seem to be Freya: She called out a couple of times but received no

response.

The surroundings were completely dark, filled with frantic people, creating an

atmosphere reminiscent of an earthquake evacuation.

Isabella felt her way around and suddenly bumped into someone. She lost her balance

and was pushed into a fake mountain nearby.

Instead of hitting the fake mountain, she collided with a wall of people.

Isabella realized she had bumped into someone’s chest. The person was taller than her,

and she couldn’t see clearly. She quickly turned around to apologize.

The two words were light but carried an ambiguous undertone, making her ears tingle.

She couldn’t help but look up at his face.

Unfortunately, it was too dark for Isabella to see more than the outline of his face. It

was sharp and angular, and she knew without a doubt that he was handsome.

She was still wearing a bathrobe; standing too close to the man. She could detect a

faint scent of women’s perfume on him.

Isabella took a step back, not intending to engage with him further. She turned to leave,

but the crowd surged forward, blocking her path.
