The east side is yours, and the west side is mine. Is he a preschooler marking
down his territory with crayons? How immature, Isabella grumbled internally.
Unfortunately, she had no other choice but to watch as Seth made himself
comfortable in his designated area. Since the living arrangements were
already settled and she wasn’t the owner of the apartment, she could only
retreat to her bedroom while remaining on high alert.
She locked the bedroom door and even placed a pile of items near the door
to prevent Seth from getting any ideas in the middle of the night.
To her surprise, the next few hours passed by in complete silence. Seth hadn’t
made a move. Perhaps I’m overthinking things.
However, she could hear noises coming from outside her room when it was
nearly midnight. She strained her ears to listen to what he was doing. It
seemed that he had gone to the kitchen.
She pursed her lips and thought disdainfully, There’s no way he knows how to

cook. Well, it doesn’t matter. I’m certainly not going to help him out.

Just as she was reveling in her schadenfreude, her phone buzzed.
It was a voice message from Seth. “Get supper ready in 20 minutes.”
She was rendered speechless by his audacity. It’s already after office hours!
The Isabella Doors are closed!
As she held her phone, she felt a strong urge to pretend she hadn’t seen the
message.
Unfortunately, he soon sent her a text message.
‘Don’t you dare pretend that you didn’t receive my message. Don’t make me
knock on your door.
Isabella was at a loss for words once more. She took a deep breath and
clenched her hands, reminding herself to stay calm.
Then, she opened the door and stormed out in frustration. Yet, she couldn’t
replace him in the living room.

When she walked into the kitchen, she found a half-empty glass of water on
the counter. Nothing else had been touched.
20 minutes was enough time for her to make him a simple pasta dish.
As Isabella seethed in fury, she looked through the cabinets and fridge. She
did not replace any pasta available in the pantry.
Seth was a very picky eater who usually only ate spaghetti or fusilli. As she
was not a great cook, she would be criticized if she tried to cook anything
else.
Soon, she started to panic. Nevertheless, she could only squash her anxiety
into a little ball as she rummaged through every shelf in the kitchen.
When she looked into the last drawer in the kitchen, she found a bag of flour
inside.
Isabella grinned and grabbed it as though the bag of flour was her savior.
Then, she pulled out two eggs so she could make some pancakes.
She was a mediocre chef at best. So, the only food she could make well,
09:51 Mon, 8 Jan G

aside from pasta, was pancakes.
With that in mind, she mixed the flour with some water and eggs to form a
batter. Then, she cooked the pancakes after evenly buttering the pan.
She cooked two pancakes before taking out some savory jam from the
fridge. With a flick of her spoon, the pancakes were served in a way that
made them look as well-decorated as a dish from a Michelin-starred
restaurant.
“Not bad.”

Isabella had finished just in time. Seth wouldn’t have a chance to criticize her.
Then, she carefully carried a plate in each hand to the study room, feeling.
proud of her accomplishment. Then, she gently kicked the door with her foot.
“Please open the door, Mr. Shaffer.”
Clack.
The door creaked open.

Seth appeared at the doorway dressed only in a shirt with the collar gaping
wide open, making him look rather relaxed and sensual. He glanced at the
plates in her hand and scowled. “What’s this?”
“Pancakes from abroad,” she lied with a smile and raised eyebrows.
“Hah,” he replied with a scoff. “Do you think I’m a fool?”
“I would never,” came Isabella’s unhesitant reply. After that, she offered him
the plate. “Try some. It’s good.”

Seth had been working throughout the afternoon and had to deal with Erin in
the evening. Hence, he was not in the mood for food and was starving by
now.
Although the greasy-looking pancakes looked unappetizing, they did smell
nice.
He grabbed the plates from her and took a step back. He was going to close
the door and leave her outside.
She was caught off guard by that. Nonetheless, she managed to stop the

door from closing as she had something in mind.
When Isabella had been cooking just now, she realized she wanted to ask
him for a favor. If he closed the door on her now, all her effort would be
wasted.
Thave something to ask Mr. Shaffer.”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“It’s very important!” She somehow forced her way in and past him in a rare
show of flagrant insubordination.

Fortunately, Seth simply walked over to sit down on the couch with the plates,
deciding to treat her as though she was invisible.
She licked her lips and swiftly mustered up her courage as she stood there.
Yet, she waited for him to finish eating as she was afraid to rush through her
request.
It seemed that she had made the right bet, as her pancakes were quite
successful. That was because he didn’t throw them aside even though there

wasn’t a hint of pleasure on his face. The two pancakes were soon being
digested by his noble stomach.

When he was done, he wiped his mouth with a paper napkin. He realized that
she was still standing in the room upon looking up.
“Just get to it.”
She hurriedly approached him and bent down as she asked, “Could you send
someone to keep an eye on my mom’s nursing home?”
Seth frowned.
“My main worry is that those people would involve her when they realize they
can’t get to me.” Isabella immediately explained her reasoning.
Her voice was filled with urgency and caution. She was evidently nervous as
she spoke in a way that made her seem inferior.
He threw the napkin aside and stared at her for a moment before looking
away. “Jordan will handle it.”

She heaved a heavy sigh of relief and repeatedly thanked him as she
half-knelt on the rug.

Seth did not say a word even after she was done. So, she hastily rose to her
feet to leave the study.
“Wait.” Suddenly, he called out to her.
Isabella stopped and turned around to look at him. “What is it?”
He stood up and walked over to stand right before her with a hand in his
pocket, after which he looked down with his gaze landing on her chest.
8/9
Isabella blinked before finally realizing what he meant by that. Her hands flew
up to cover her chest as her cheeks turned a bright red.
When she stormed out of her bedroom, she had forgotten that she was only
wearing a nightgown. Even though she had two layers on, there was still a
possibility of them slipping off and revealing her when she knelt down earlier.
At that moment, she couldn’t help but reminisce about their earlier

conversation. It felt as if…
“From now on, please make sure to dress appropriately when you’re here,”
Seth calmly stated, his gaze fixed on her.
Isabella was speechless as she gazed up at him, her eyes filled with
confusion.
