Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny

Chapter 107

Isabella picked a few vegetables and bought some pork ribs. After she spoke

with Natasha over the phone, she left the supermarket and headed for

Shaffer Group. Since she had been showing up on time for the past few days,

the reception was already looking at her differently. It seemed that they had

come to regard her as the future mistress of the Shaffer Group.

She had no choice but to hide her bitter smile as she stepped into the

president’s elevator. Naturally, she was the only one there. As she stared at

her reflection on the wall, some forbidden ideas started scurrying out of the

deep, dredges of her mind.

The doors of the elevator slid open, and she reflexively straightened her back.

The flawless smile on her lips appeared once more. When she stepped out of

the elevator, she saw the usual secretaries, whom she greeted individually.

When the door closed, she could hear people speaking in hushed voices

outside.

As she stood at the doorway, she sighed and relaxed marginally when she

saw that Seth wasn’t around. Then, she carefully removed the food from the

package and started serving them in the kitchen. Finally, she also placed the

two takeaway dishes in the microwave.

She had bought grilled ribs as well as schnitzel from a restaurant. All need to

do is grill two vegetables, and voila! Lunch is served, she thought, her mood

brightening as she hummed a song while she washed the greens and

tomatoes.

A little after 11.00AM, everything was ready. All she needed to do was wait for
