Isabella stumbled before regaining her balance in the pool.
She was panting heavily and too exhausted to even glare at him.
Seth crouched by the poolside and laughed at her without a care. Then he reached out
his hand towards the woman in the pool again.
“Come here.”
Isabella shot him a disdainful look. She didn’t trust him at all and turned to walk
towards the ladder on the other side.
She was soaked and a bit tired from the struggle, so she stayed put for a while. She
simply hugged the ladder and stayed in the water.

Seth watched her with her face pressed against the ladder, panting slightly and looking
like a little otter.
“Out of breath so soon?”
Isabella snorted, taking her time to recover without saying a word.
Seth was in no hurry. He turned around, lifted the cat aside, and sat on the bench.
The summer night was cool, with a gentle breeze carrying a faint scent of flowers. It
made one want to close their eyes in contentment.
He looked at her, and after a brief moment, he asked, “What happened today?”
Her eyes were half-closed when she turned her face with a baffled expression. “What

“Acting all timid, who are you trying to impress?” Seth shot her a sidelong glance.

Isabella was speechless. She was just trying to avoid the situation. It had nothing to do
with acting like a quail.
“Not my social circle. I’m not looking to fit in,” she clarified.
Seth pursed his lips and was silent for a moment.
It wasn’t her social circle, but his.
“When you started at the company five years ago, the secretary’s office wasn’t really
your circle, but I noticed you mingling quite happily.”
Isabella opened her eyes and stared blankly at the calm water surface for a while.
Seth couldn’t understand it. The secretary’s crew might be close-knit, and she could fit

in with a bit of effort, but people like Courtney belonged to a different social circle. Even
if Isabella stood on a mountain, she’d have to yell to have a conversation with them..
“I can’t fit in anymore,” she casually remarked.
He snorted and placed one hand on the chair’s armrest. “Even if you can’t fit in, you still
gotta try.”
Isabella pouted. She found him unreasonable.
Who lets others compete by force? she thought.
She turned away and rolled her eyes at the empty air.

She was speechless. Gathering her courage, she retorted, “Mr. Shaffer, playing dumb is
pointless. Some people are targeting me, and you have to take half the responsibility.”
She scoffed and added, “Apart from some people, I get along well with others.”
“And you and Simon get along well, huh?”
Isabella was taken aback. “What?”
Seth sneered. “Don’t daydream. He’s a popular figure. Even if you lose your head, you
won’t be able to fit in.”
She kept silent.
Closing her eyes, she didn’t want to talk with him any longer. Her silence led him to

He wasn’t pleased either, so he seized nearby flowers and aggressively tossed them at
her.
One, two, the more he threw, the more annoyed he became.
Isabella had a temper, too. She turned around and glared at him for a while, but it had
no effect.
The water in front of her was now filled with flowers, which made the entire pool
awful.

Regardless, since he only had one hand free now, she decided to take advantage of his
vulnerability and retaliate.
After some thought, she scooped up a bunch of wet flowers from the water and
glanced at him.

Isabella just shouted, “Rebellion!”
With that, she walked towards him with the flowers and used all her strength to throw a
large, wet bunch of flowers at him.
“Isabella!!”
