Chapter 16

Isabella was perched on the edge of the couch, her head spinning and her body in disarray. She felt like she was falling apart. A faint, cool scent enveloped her–Seth’s preferred cologne. It used to be alluring, but now it was overwhelming.

“Miss Symons, Kate has a quick temper. Since I offended you today, let me offer you a toast. hope you can forgive her.” Harold’s tone was gentle as he reached for a bottle of wine to pour himself a drink.

However, Caitlin interjected angrily, “What are you apologizing for? It’s not your fault.”

Candy Crush Saga Play Now “If it’s not his fault, is it your fault then?” With Natasha in his arms, Dariel looked at Caitlin and spoke as though he were joking.

Caitlin opened her mouth to retort but met Seth’s stern gaze. She shuddered and found herself unable to speak. In the eyes of her peers, Seth was like a tyrant from Hell. No one dared to provoke him unless they were seeking death.

“There’s no need for apologies.” Isabella got up from the couch and half–squatted in front of the coffee table before taking the bottle of wine from Harold’s hand. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears. “It was my fault for standing in the wrong place and causing Miss Hunter to misunderstand. I’ll make amends with a drink.”

11:58 Wed, 20 Dec G 150.

The private room fell into complete silence, with only the sound of Isabella pouring wine.

Caitlin tried to retort but found herself at a loss for words. “Who asked you-”

Before Caitlin could finish her sentence, Isabella had already downed a glass of wine.

“Apologies for the disturbance, everyone. I’ll punish myself with another glass, and let’s put this matter behind us.” Isabella poured another glass and drank it as if it were water.

Harold looked conflicted, wanting to intervene, while Natasha clenched her fists, and Dariel chuckled softly.

Candy Crush Saga only gave her a glance. It was like he never had such a lunatic for a secretary.

After two glasses of wine, Isabella felt better and asked Natasha, “Can I use your room to freshen up?”

Natasha was afraid she might collapse and wanted to accompany her, but Isabella insisted on going alone.

“Alright, go ahead. Wait for me in the room, and we’ll leave together,” Natasha said.

Isabella got the access code and left the room.

Just as she closed the door, she overheard Dariel’s teasing comments.

“Someone was ruthless and kicked Bella out even after five years of hard work.”

Then, the door closed, muffling Seth’s response.

Isabella leaned against the wall to make her way to Natasha’s room. As the door shut, a heavy silence settled, and she sank to the floor, her ears still ringing from the hurtful words piercing her.

She touched her flushed face, trying to calm the turmoil within her chest. Then, she clutched a nearby small table, finding a glass on it. A thought flashed through her mind, and she didn’t hesitate to throw the glass, its shattering crash echoing sharply in the still room.
