At eight o’clock in the morning, Isabella confidently entered the high-level meeting
room of the Shaffer Group. She was impeccably dressed in a suit with a perfectly tied
tie and maintained a straight posture.

In front of the camera, she exuded calmness and composure, efficiently managing the
tasks of the secretary department before taking her seat at the head of the long table.
As expected, Mr. Bush arrived promptly. However, upon not seeing Seth, he
immediately expressed his confusion.
Isabella tactfully explained Seth’s absence, portraying his injury as severe, almost to the
point of being bedridden. Bush expressed regret and invited Isabella to sit down and
begin his work report.

“In the hospital room, Jordan casually commented, “Miss Symons carries herself with
remarkable poise, much like you.”
Seth sat on the bed, expressionless. Upon hearing Jordan’s praise, he snorted. “At
most, she’s just average.”
A fleeting smile appeared in Jordan’s eyes as he slightly lowered his head.
On the live footage, after Bush concluded his report, Isabella expressed gratitude for
their years of cooperation and articulated her desire to continue working together.
Bush, visibly pleased, maintained a constant smile.

As the meeting neared its conclusion, Bush abruptly changed the topic, sincerely
raising his hands. “Miss Symons, a woman as exceptional as you is too valuable to be
just a secretary…”

Bush, struggling with his less-than-fluent Corynthean, paused before selecting the I before selecting the
precise words. “It’s a waste.”
Isabella was taken aback by the unexpected praise.
In the hospital room, Seth frowned.

Jordan, pretending’to be angry, touched his nose. “How dare he try to poach talent from
you?”
Seth responded with a disdainful “Hmph.”
If this had happened earlier, it might have been a success. However, now that Isab
has recently been promoted to the executive director of Nemotors, she wouldn’t be
easily swayed, even if they attempted to dismiss her.
Just as Seth contemplated this, Bush’s voice rang out again.

“Miss Symons, what do you think about becoming the regional executive director of
Arti Jewelry?”
Seth’s eyebrows furrowed in slight surprise.
Upon glancing at Seth’s expression, Jordan chuckled. “Miss Symons won’t be
interested.”
Seth remained silent, his eyebrows furrowed.
In the video, Isabella hesitated for a moment as her face registered surprise.
“Are you offering me a job?” Her tone was cheerful-an indication that she was clearly
intrigued.
Jordan’s mouth twitched as he felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head and saw
Seth’s icy expression. He silently prayed, hoping Isabella wouldn’t make a fatal mistake.

However, things took a different turn from Jordan’s prayer. Isabella became engrossed
in the conversation with Bush.
Bush continued, “We can offer you an annual salary of 900 thousand dollars.”
Isabella exclaimed in surprise, spreading her hands and shaking her head. “That’s a
very tempting offer.”
Thinking that Isabella was interested, Bush didn’t notice her subtle action.
She touched the earpiece in her ear and spoke softly, “Mr. Shaffer, did you hear that?
They’re valuing me at 900 thousand dollars!”
Seth remained silent.
Isabella smiled at Bush, covered her mouth with her hand, and fearlessly said, “Mr.
Shaffer, you haven’t discussed the annual salary with me yet.”

Seth replied, “450 thousand dollars.”
Jordan quietly smirked. He looked at Seth’s expression and reminded him, “That
number seems a bit low.”
Seth made a face, appearing indifferent.

On the camera, Isabella sighed. She put down her hand. As she looked at Bush, she
showed a regretful expression. “Thank you for your high regard, but our culture values
loyalty the most. Mr. Shaffer has been…

The meeting eventually came to an end. Isabella stood up and shook hands with Bush.
She personally escorted him downstairs, disappearing from Seth’s view on the screen.
After removing his unused Bluetooth headset, Seth glanced at the wall clock, realizing
it was not even ten’o’clock in the morning yet
Jordan guessed his thoughts and casually remarked, “Miss Symons probably won’t be
back until noon.”
Seth glanced at Jordan and said nonchalantly, “She’s not a doctor. There’s nothing she
can do if she comes.”
Jordan remained silent.

Without hesitation, Jordan went out to postpone the dressing change.
“Mr. Shaffer, let’s wait for Miss Symons to come back before proceeding.”
Seth ignored him ahd turned to lie on his side, his expression cold.
Jordan helplessly let the nurse leave first, then carefully closed the door.
Then, Seth instructed, “Cancel the afternoon appointments.”
Jordan raised an eyebrow. “Then, Miss Symons might just go straight back to
Nemotors.”
Seth clicked his tongue. As he raised his arm, the movement proved too extensive,

He suddenly felt irritated and closed his eyes in annoyance.
Jordan, standing nearby, thought of a compromise and suggested, “How about letting.
Mr. Dahn bring the documents to the hospital and have Miss Symons assist you in
handling them?”
Seth’s lips tightened. He didn’t voice his agreement, but he didn’t objec
Jordan pursed his lips as he made a knowing face. He then turned to make a
