“What’s going on here?” Inside the president’s office
at the Shaffer Group, Seth’s sharp gaze swept over
the man and woman outside, then turned to Ellie,
who was standing in front of him.
Ellie gulped nervously and wiped the sweat from
her forehead. Then, she spoke in a low voice.
“Isabella said you like new things and probably
want to explore after five to six years.”
“And?” The man’s voice had already turned
ice–cold. It seemed like just a slight breath from
him could turn into ice immediately.
“So, she found you Selena Winston and Nicolas
Dahn. If you’re not satisfied with Selena, you can

consider Nicolas. As Eille spoke, sne naa the urge
to bite her tongue and end her life, but she held
back her tears. “Based on Isabella’s understanding
of you, you’d enjoy Nicolas‘ company more.”
In the meantime, Seth didn’t get angry. Instead, he
let out a cold, amused laugh. “She’s quite
considerate, isn’t she?”
Was she afraid he would get tired of women, so she
found him a man to spice up his life?
Ellie forced a laugh. “Isabella has always been
meticulous when doing things.”
“Where is she?” Seth’s distorted smile instantly
disappeared.

Ellie stood tall and replied, “She has probably
returned to her desk.”
While watching Seth’s expression, she added, “But
someone met her in the elevator just now and
overheard her inviting Mr. Keller to dinner.”
Seth’s brows suddenly furrowed. “Did she take the
initiative?”
“Yes.”
He gave a dry chuckle, and the emotions in his
eyes became unclear as he spoke somewhat
sarcastically. “She’s really something, huh?”
After saying that, he withdrew his gaze, seeming
uninterested, and began to go through the
contracts on his desk.
“Go and help the new employees settle down.”
Ellie was surprised, for she didn’t expect Seth to
actually keep both of them. However, she didn’t
dare ask any questions and quickly left.
Isabella took a car to her destination, her back
drenched in sweat. As she entered the apartment
building, she was hit by the cold air conditioning
and immediately sneezed.
After all the commotion, she seemed to have
calmed down from her rage.
She pressed the elevator button and rode it all the

way up to her floor. When the elevator doors
opened, she saw a middle–aged woman with keys
standing in the corridor, talking on the phone. “How
am I supposed to remember how many months
she’s rented the house? I manage dozens of
properties.”
Upon hearing that, Isabella let out a silent, bitter
chuckle. She suddenly understood why she had
been kicked out of her own home; it was probably
because the landlord got the rental period wrong.
Therefore, she went up and patted the woman on
the shoulder, introducing herself, “Hello, are you the
owner of Apartment 3401?”
The woman glanced at her, a bit skeptical. “Are you
Miss Symons?”

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes, that’s me.”
After clicking her tongue, the woman shrugged.
“How many years are you renting? My husband
says your three years is up.”
Isabella removed a few strands of hair from her
face and asked tentatively, “Don’t you have a
contract?”
“Our house is full of rental contracts. Where am I
supposed to find yours?” With her hands on her
hips, the woman rolled her eyes and said, “There
should be two copies of the contract. Where’s
yours?”
However, Isabella had never seen the contract

then. “I’m sorry, but a friend helped me with the
rental, so I don’t have a contract.”
The woman jingled her keys and said
matter–of–factly, “No contract makes it tricky.
Unless you can produce the contract, I’ll have to
consider it a termination of lease on your end.”
With a frown, Isabella asked, “Can’t I renew the
lease directly?”
She didn’t want to go looking for Ollie or establish any sort of relationship with Seth, albeit indirectly.
The woman looked her up and down, then offered, “Sure. The rent will remain at the previous rate of twelve thousand per month, but you’ll need to pay

one month’s rent as a deposit and three months‘
rent in advance. Also, you’ll have to rent the place
for at least a year.”
After listening to the conditions, Isabella hesitated.
The rent and deposit came up to over a hundred
thousand. While she did have some money, she
wanted to save every penny she could.
“Can you give me a moment? I’ll call my friend to
ask about the contract.”
“Sure.”
Then, Isabella went to the corridor and quickly
dialed Ollie’s number. It took a while for him to
answer. “Mr. Wallace, it’s me, Isabella.”

“Do you need something?”
She breathed in relief. “I want to ask you about my
rental contract. Could you take a photo of it and
send it to me?”
Ollie hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m afraid I
don’t have time right now. I’m helping Miss Winston
to find a place to stay. I can only look for the
contract when I get back tonight.”
Isabella’s breath hitched again. Combined with the
sudden changes in temperature earlier, she felt her
temples pounding and her head spinning.
He’s already arranging accommodations for
someone this quickly. How… considerate of him.

Chapter 21 He Found His New Sweetheart
Thinking back to when she first started working, she
seemed to recall someone arranging her
accommodation on the same day she was hired.
She had naively thought it was a company benefit,
and it seemed that Selena probably thought the
same.
With Seth’s skills in training women, it probably
wouldn’t take more than half a year before Selena
became her clone.
After releasing a breath, Isabella didn’t even bother
answering Ollie and simply ended the call. Then,
she pushed the corridor door open and went back
inside.
“Hello, I’ll just renew the lease directly. I can transfer
the money now.”

The woman’s eyes lit up, clearly delighted. “Alright.
Come downstairs with me to sign the contract.”
“Okay.”

down until around 4.00AM. Before that, Natasha
had called and scolded her on the phone upon
hearing that she had moved away overnight.
After finally calming Natasha down, she realized
that the clock on the wall was showing 5.00AM.
Overwhelmed by exhaustion, Isabella had no
choice but to lie down on the couch for a while.
