I Quit, Mr. Shaffer

Chapter 6

Isabella felt as if she had been delivered a hard

slap, making her ears ring.

Seeing her hesitation, the doctor assumed she was

scared and said indifferently, “It’s just a simple

physical examination. Lie down and take off your

pants. I only need to take a sample.”

Isabella gripped the sides of her pants with both

hands, forcing herself to stay calm and mentally

prepare herself. Just think of it as a free check–up.

It’s no big deal.

Then, she lay down expressionlessly, already

guessing Seth’s intentions. The cotton swab lightly

grazed her, and it was a very quick process.

Isabella got up in a daze, but she realized her legs

had gone numb within a minute and were shaking.

It wasn’t out of fear, though–it was out of anger.

“You can go now. I’ll give the results to Mr. Wallace.”

Without giving any response, Isabella adjusted her

clothes and tried to walk out as calmly as possible.

Then, she sat in the corridor for a while, sorting out

her thoughts. Seth thought she had slept with Louis

and wanted her to get checked for any diseases.

Taking a deep breath, she wanted to throw a

tantrum when her phone rang. It was from Seth.

After wiping her face, she controlled her trembling

voice and spoke. “Mr. Shaffer.”

“Are you done with your examination?” The man’s

voice sounded cold and monotonous.

Isabella stared at her reflection on the wall

opposite her and coldly retorted, “I’ve already

tendered my resignation, so you don’t have to be Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

know.”

A snort came from her phone, followed by Seth’s

usual tone as he questioned her, “Haven’t you

checked your email?”

While furrowing her brows, Isabella had a bad

feeling. “I-”

The man cut her off and simply said, “Come over at

8.00PM. I will be returning home later.”

Within seconds, she could only hear the beep of

the disconnected call.

Isabella couldn’t wait until she returned home, so

she immediately checked her email on her phone. The reply from the human resources department

contained only a screenshot of a contract clause.

employment will result in a ten million penalty for

breach of contract.‘

Isabella’s pupils dilated, and she felt as if she had

been plunged into an ice cellar, shivering from the

cold. When she first joined the company, she was

still a rookie and didn’t understand the specifics of

the contract. Nonetheless, she was certain that this

clause hadn’t been in there.

Hold on! She had signed numerous contracts over the past few years under Seth’s instructions. There was no guarantee that he hadn’t deliberately slipped in a few extra clauses. As such, she might

have unwittingly sold herself out.

There were less than three months away from her

five–year employment term. Isabella closed her

eyes, propping herself up on the chair. Her mind

quickly settled on the plan with the least amount of

loss. She had to endure these three months, or her

future would be extremely difficult without the ten

million she had saved.

She prepared herself mentally, trying to digest the

overwhelming sense of shame enveloping her.

However, the feeling was like the smell of

disinfectant from the hospital; it stuck to her

stubbornly.

After returning home to take a bath, she had to

scrub her body clean for the humiliation to

gradually disappear with the smell of disinfectant,

hiding it away deep in her heart.

She scrolled through her phone numbly until it was

dark outside, and she took a cab to Seth’s

residence.

When she arrived at the door, she tried to unlock

the door with her fingerprint.

“Sorry, your fingerprint is invalid.” The cold and

merciless computerized voice made Isabella let out

a soft sigh. She wrapped her coat tightly around

herself and sat down on the steps.

Though she could leave or wait at a nearby cafe, doing so would only anger Seth even more. Since she couldn’t bear the former’s anger, she could

only choose to take on the chilly night wind.

As the sky grew darker, it was eventually 9.00PM.

Isabella’s mind felt dizzy before a dazzling ray of

light shone on her, instantly waking her up.

Seth descended the car and saw the woman

curled up on the steps through the intense light.

She resembled a stray, looking vaguely like how

she did a few years ago. His mood changed slightly

as he slowly approached and stood before her.

“How long have you been here?”

“Since 7.40PM.” Isabella’s tone sounded calm

without a trace of anger.

Her calm tone instantly smoothed out the surge of emotion inside Seth’s heart, and he discreetly

withdrew his gaze before moving past her and

Isabella looked up with a calm expression and

followed him up the stairs.

Once inside the living room, Seth removed his coat

and casually threw it on the couch. Then, he

lowered his head and began unbuttoning his cuffs

leisurely. Without paying any attention to Isabella,

he went straight upstairs.

Listening to the obedient footsteps behind him not

too far away, he went straight to his bedroom door

before coming to a halt. He smiled mockingly, then

removed his clothes before entering the bathroom

in his birthday suit.
