Chapter 193
Isabella never expected Seth to come in person. She sat in the car, her mind
in turmoil, though she dared not get too close to him.

However, he didn’t look very pleased either. He kept a grim face, not saying a
word to her along the way from the nursing home to the airport.
Isabella deliberately tried to be inconspicuous, remaining silent as they
waited for their flight.
Jordan bought her a first-class ticket on the same flight and “thoughtfully”
gave up the seat closest to Seth’s, choosing a seat in the row behind.
Thankfully, the first-class cabin had ample space, and there was an aisle
between them, so she didn’t have to be too nervous.
She hadn’t slept for a whole day. After seeing Victoria, she finally found peace
of mind, and drowsiness began to overtake her.
Jordan had bought the flight tickets at the last minute, so he didn’t get a
chance to reserve the entire first-class cabin. Before the flight took off, other

passengers started to enter the cabin one after another.
Isabella had just closed her eyes when a discordant voice barged in.
“Mr. Shaffer…”

Startled by the surprised tone in the coquettish voice, she opened her eyes,
only to be greeted by a sickeningly sweet smell of perfume that instantly
filled the entire first-class cabin. Shocked, she sneaked a glance to the side
and saw the audacious person. It was Briana, the currently popular young
actress who had endorsed Shaffer Jewelry.

“What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to run into you on the plane, Mr. Shaffer. I
guess fate really works in mysterious ways.”
Isabella felt a headache coming on. Briana’s dress blocked her view, but she
could vaguely see Seth’s tense jaw and the tightening of his profile.
Briana apparently had a death wish, for she was totally oblivious to the
situation. She stood in front of Seth’s seat and chattered away, not minding it
at all, even when she didn’t get any response from him. “Miss, can we swap

seats?”
Isabella was watching, and the next moment, Briana called out to her.
Isabella let out a sigh and looked up at Briana, saying with a smile, “Miss
Farrell, you have a short memory. Have you already forgotten who I am?”

Briana was startled for a moment. After taking a closer look at Isabella, she
cried out in an affectedly coquettish voice, “Miss Symons?”
Isabella nodded. “It’s been a while,” she said to Briana while keeping an eye
on Seth’s expression across from her. He had his eyes closed, brows
furrowed, evidently suppressing his emotions. She was sure that if Briana
didn’t disappear within three minutes, the man would lose his temper. “Miss
Farrell, Mr. Shaffer has just finished a meeting and is very tired right now.
You’re probably busy, too, so why don’t you rest for a while? We can have
dinner together after we land.”

thinking that she was intentionally vying for favor. “The new Miss Winston is
unlike you, Miss Symons. She’s quite accommodating.”

Isabella maintained her smile. After taking another glance at Seth, she

decided to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. The warmth in her
eyes disappeared, and she responded politely but distantly, “As Mr. Shaffer’s
secretaries, we’re only responsible for his schedule and mood. Anything that
conflicts with this principle is not within our consideration.” After that, she
leaned toward Briana and sniffed. “You’re wearing Estee Lauder Pleasures
today. That’s the perfume Mr. Shaffer dislikes the most.”
Briana was rendered speechless.
Isabella smiled. “Please, go ahead.”
Briana bit her lip and turned to glance at Seth, and sure enough, she noticed
his dark expression. She wasn’t unafraid of him; it was just that she hadn’t
noticed his bad mood just now. After the sudden “lesson” from Isabella, she
felt somewhat uneasy. “Well-”
“The flight is about to take off,” Isabella reminded Briana with a smile, causing
