I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Isabella gritted her teeth, ready to retort, but as they entered the hotel, they were

greeted by several prominent figures.

“Mr. Shaffer, congratulations.”

“Miss Symons, you are young and promising with a bright future.”

Isabella was confused. These two individuals were the top leaders in the food and

medical industries of Imperia, with a net worth of over 40 billion. They wouldn’t even.

spare a glance at ten Nemotors combined, yet they were calling her “Miss Symons.”

Feeling uneasy, she greeted them politely and followed Seth, refraining from saying a

word for fear of ruining Seth’s image.

After the two prominent figures mentioned that they would go in first, she quietly asked

Seth, “Mr. Shaffer, what kind of event is this? Please tell me something so I can be

\prepared.”

“It’s a minor matter. Why do you need to prepare? Can’t you handle it on the spot?” Seth

raised his chin, leaving no room for negotiation.

Isabella twitched the corner of her mouth, held her breath, and continued to play along.

She had initially thought it was a brand launch event, but after a few steps, she realized

it was something else entirely.

The people entering were all individuals she had only seen at the 60th-anniversary

celebration of the Shaffer Group. Each one of them commanded respect, and no one

could afford to invite such a lineup for their launch event.

As she wondered, her gaze swept across the room, and her eyes widened.

Yuri?

The woman was dressed extravagantly and covered in jewelry. She was wearing four or

five rings while looking out of place in the city.

As soon as Isabella saw her, Yuri also noticed her.

Unlike the daytime confrontations during the meeting, as soon as Yuri saw Isabella, she

hurriedly lifted her gown and ran over.

“Miss Symons.”

She was puzzled, wondering what Yuri was up to, but Yuri didn’t get the chance to get

close as she was stopped by Seth’s bodyguard.

Many people around them looked over. Seth remained calm and led Isabella inside.

Isabella didn’t say anything more, lifted her gown, and followed Seth’s pace.

She was still wondering what kind of event it was when she followed Seth into the

elevator. As soon as they stepped out, they were greeted with a chorus of greetings.

On the 17th floor, in the super-large conference room, a row of words were written

above the golden door-‘Inauguration Ceremony of the President of Nemotors.”

Isabella’s brain stopped functioning for a moment. She tried to widen her eyes, but her

first reaction was that she had misread it.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and her breathing became difficult. She stood next to

Seth, unable to move for a long time.

“Have you never seen the world before?” Seth’s sarcastic voice reached her ears.

Isabella was petrified; her neck turned stiffly, and she stared blankly at Seth.

Seth said, “You have ten minutes to prepare your inauguration speech. If you dare to

embarrass me, I’ll throw you into the moat.”

Isabella blinked abruptly, finally coming back to her senses. Still, she dared not believe

She clung to Seth’s arm as if it were a lifeline. “Mr. Shaffer, are you joking with me?”

Seth glanced at her with a mix of mockery, speechlessness, and amusement. “What do

you think?”

Just then, a prominent figure from the machinery manufacturing industry passed by

and nodded at Isabella. “Miss Symons, congratulations.”

Isabella took a deep breath, finally believing it. She licked her lips with her chest

heaving and stared at Seth. “Mr. Shaffer, I’m not prepared…”

“I didn’t tell you for a reason. It’s to test your ability to improvise. If you were prepared,

why bother with this setup?” Seth hummed, his tone natural, without any trace of

acting.

Isabella patted her chest, mentally preparing herself on the spot.

Seth stood beside her, mercilessly urging her, “Eight minutes left.”

Isabella was on the verge of tears, almost going wild with nervousness. She had given

countless speeches and guided meetings as a chief secretary, but this was different.

The people below the stage were all individuals she couldn’t even invite under normal

circumstances. As a small-time president who was pushed onto the stage, she felt.

unworthy.

Why did they have to make the inauguration ceremony so grand? It would have been

enough with internal company personnel.

She was certain in her heart that Seth was deliberately making things difficult for her,

and she felt her life was on the line.

Seth watched Isabella’s ever-changing expression. He leisurely said, “Six minutes.”

Isabella’s panic surged.

“Don’t you even remember your inauguration speech in your dreams? Why do you need

to prépare now?” Seth said playfully.

Isabella didn’t understand what he meant. She had drafted a speech for fun before, but

she hadn’t really memorized it. If she suddenly went on stage, she would have to

improvise.

Seth added, “Start with self-introduction, brief resume, current company analysis, and

end with envisioning the future.”

Isabella blinked. The process seemed eerily familiar, almost identical to what she had

previously imagined. She looked at Seth, wanting to ask for more advice, when Jordan,

who had appeared out of nowhere, spoke up.

“Mr. Shaffer, it’s about time.”

Isabella panicked, tightly gripping Seth’s arm.

Seth frowned, looking down at Isabella’s clenched hand. “You’ve been practicing for

five years. What’s there to be nervous about?

Isabella bit her lip. “I-”

Before she could say anything more, Seth grabbed her wrist in return, forcibly pulling

her towards the venue.
