Chapter 109
The thick-skinned Isabella shrugged. “Selena guided me well.”
“Alright, she’ll continue teaching you tomorrow.” Seth mercifully looked away
as he picked up his knife and said firmly, “Tomorrow, I wish to see cordon
bleu, sole meuniere, lamb with herb stuffing, and hasselback potatoes.”
Isabella had no words. None whatsoever. Still, she took care to maintain the
standard smile on her face as she took a seat across from Seth. “Mr. Frost,
Selena might not know how to cook those dishes you just mentioned.”
Forget everything else. Just the lamb with herbed stuffing he had mentioned
was a little overboard because it was a dish served at royal dinners.
Seth didn’t even bother lifting his head as he said breezily, “That shouldn’t be
a problem since you’re so talented.”
Isabella was dumbstruck as she started lamenting in her heart, One shouldn’t
do anything against their conscience. Otherwise, retribution will strike at any
time.
“Eat some. You should try a little of your achievement.” Seth’s eyes were filled
with schadenfreude when he noticed that she hadn’t started with her meal.
Unfortunately for Isabella, she was full due to all the rage that was surging
her body. Nevertheless, she picked up her fork and shoveled something in her
mouth despite having no appetite.

The office was incredibly silent. She could only hear the sounds of Seth’s
cutleries lightly touching the plates. The food tasted like ash in her mouth as
she wondered how she could get past the obstacle he had set for her
As she recalled that she had something important tonight, she smiled
bitterly. I don’t even know if I can live until lunchtime tomorrow. Yet, here I am,
already thinking about Seth’s lunch menu. Have I lost my mind? When she
arrived at that thought, she felt herself getting hungry as she calmly ate the
mood before her.
Seth just happened to look up and capture the change in her mood. He
instinctively slowed down his pace. Coupled with the way he stared at her, he
unknowingly exuded a sense of ambiguity that seemed a little intrusive.
Isabella raised her head and noticed him staring at her. As she thought of
what she was planning, she was momentarily struck by guilt. Although she
feared that she had accidentally exposed herself somehow, she still inquired,
“Mr. Frost?”
“You haven’t been up to anything bad lately, have you?” he asked
inquisitively.
Isabella’s flickered, and she lowered her head to spit out the bone in her
mouth. “The company is preparing for the car show recently, and I have tons
of work to do. I don’t have the time to do anything of the sort.”

Since she was wearing shades, he couldn’t see the look in her eyes and had
one thing less to guide his judgment. He frowned as he reached out and
wanted to remove her sunnies again.
Immediately, Isabella retreated and curled into herself like an agitated
porcupine. “What are you trying to do?”
He put down his fork. “I’m just curious how ugly you are right now.”
The edge of her lips twitched, and she didn’t move a muscle. The injury on her
face was on its way to recovery. The swelling had subsided, and the messy
cuts were scabbing.”
lunchtime, and I don’t want to spoil your appetite. It’s
better for you not to look.”
Alas, the more she said this, the more curious he became. Fortunately for her,
he simply picked up his fork and continued to focus on his lunch.
Soon, she assumed that he wasn’t going to do anything untoward. So, she
breathed a sigh of relief and decided to pick up her cutleries in order to enjoy
her lunch. Suddenly, he turned sideways, grabbed her sunnies, and
immediately removed them from her face.
Isabella quickly covered her face with her hands, utterly caught off guard. “Mr.
Frost!”
Seth couldn’t help but frown as he held the sunglasses in his hand. Although

Isabella was quick to cover her face, he could still roughly see what had
happened.
Her originally exquisite face had some horizontal cuts, and there was a
horrifying red patch at the corner of her eye. It looked like a bruise, and there
was another one at the bridge of her nose. Regrettably, he failed to see it
clearly as she had already hidden her face behind her hands.
She positioned her palm to cover the top half of her face as she lowered her
head at him and extended her hand. Then, she snarled angrily, “Give it back
to me!”
He tossed them back to her without another word, and she hastily put them
back on with her head lowered. Then, she took some time to calm herself as
her heart was galloping a mile a minute, and beads of sweat broke out on
her forehead due to the scare.
She didn’t think that he was worried. Instead, she was concerned that he
would investigate the biker gang after seeing the injuries on her face. Once
he did, he would easily trace it back to Lara. If he continued to plow forward,
he would eventually uncover her plan.
Seth continued eating with a solemn face after tossing her shades right back
at her. Isabella’s body was still tense as she clutched the cutlery in her hand
tightly. She seemed a little hesitant to continue eating. As Seth didn’t have

much food on his plate, he finished them in silence. Soon, lunch was promptly
over.
Then, he set down his cutleries and wiped the edges of his mouth with a
napkin before glancing at Isabella with a stoic face. “It’s not a bad thing that
your face is ruined,” he said out of the blue.
She was so startled that she could only stare at him in confusion. “What?”
He simply leaned into his chair and narrowed his eyes as he observed her,
saying, “That face of yours had always caused trouble when you were by my
side. Now that you’re in that kind of place, I reckon that it will cause even
more trouble.”
Isabella was utterly stumped and couldn’t find the words to refute him,
especially when he was right on the money.
Seth kept staring at her as he leaned over suddenly and parted his lips. “How
about-”
He had yet to finish his sentence when the door suddenly burst open as
Selena barged into the office. Seth and Isabella turned their heads in the
direction of the door in unison.
Selena was a little confused when she saw the table covered in food. She
was about to say something, but Seth’s face had darkened due to her
actions as he said icily, “Don’t you need to knock before entering my office?”
