Leave Me Alone Mr Shaffer Novel

Chapter 359
Isabella greatly admired Mandy. Regardless of the situation, Mandy always maintained her composure and confidence.
Simon sat down and poured Mandy a glass of wine. “You honor me,” he said. As soon as he finished speaking, Isabella noticed
Bloom’s expression turning cold, and her gaze shifting away.
Isabella had suspected yesterday that Bloom had feelings for Simon. Now, it seemed almost certain.
What about Seth? Well, he deserves it if no one loves him. As she inwardly mocked
Seth, she looked up and met his icy gaze. Isabella stayed quiet. She straightened her back, closed the menu, and fearlessly
said, “I’ll have mango sticky rice.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the table fell silent for a moment. Except for Mandy and Keira, everyone else knew that Seth
was allergic to mangoes. Seth’s face grew
Hong, and he exuded coldness from head to toe, like a walking air conditioner.
Unaware of the situation, Mandy also ordered a glass of mango juice following Isabella.
The mango flavor was strong, and as soon as it was served, the entire space was filled with the fragrance of fruit. Isabella
pretended to be oblivious and scooped a large spoonful of her food into her mouth, savoring it.
Seth’s brows furrowed deeply, and even after drinking two sips of tea, he was still irritated by the smell of mango. Isabella had
just been put in her place by him, and now, taking advantage of the crowd, she was retaliating without restraint. After all, it was
just a smell; it wouldn’t kill him. The two were silently competing.
However, Bloom kept her eyes on Mandy, her tone unfriendly as she said, “You’re so young, and I heard you’re already a
director?”
Mandy took a sip of her juice. “If I had your luck, Miss Flowers, I could have been a director five years ago.”
Everyone was silent. Mandy was truly impressive. Keira, sitting next to her, seemed particularly overshadowed. Bloom snorted,
really wanting to call Mandy shameless.
Next to her, Ariana poured her a glass of juice and spoke first. “I heard you’re going to participate in the bid?”

Isabella heard this and immediately sensed something was off, but Mandy had already responded.
“Yes, we’re preparing for it.”
Ariana smiled and looked at Seth. “Seth, you really shouldn’t have teased Isabella today. You almost delayed her big event.”
Isabella forcefully swallowed the mango in her mouth, already anticipating what Seth was about to say.
Sure enough, Seth didn’t even lift his eyes. His thin lips parted, and he spat out a few words. “It’s a national bid.” The implication
was that not just anyone could do it.
Isabella gritted her teeth, feeling a bit annoyed, and scooped two large spoonfuls of mango rice into her mouth. She didn’t want
to argue, but she couldn’t shut Mandy up, let alone Ariana.
Ariana smiled helplessly, looking at Seth with a slight reproach. “It’s about participation.”
Isabella cursed in her heart. She had previously regarded Ariana as a role model, but now it seemed that Ariana was not much
better than Selena.
She didn’t speak, but the always silent Keira did. “Do you think we’re overestimating ourselves?” Her words were straightforward,
her tone indifferent and emotionless. It wasn’t exactly picking a fight, but it was certainly unfriendly.
Ariana was taken aback and quickly patted her forehead. “I’m sorry, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said such unlucky things before
the bidding.” She turned to look at
Isabella, her hands clasped together. “Don’t take it to heart.”
Isabella took a tissue and casually wiped the corner of her mouth. “It’s just harmless banter, Ariana. You’re too nervous.”
Mandy chuckled. “Exactly, Keira was just joking.”
These ladies could cause drama by themselves, let alone all five of them gathered around.
Seth covered his mouth with one hand, his face pale as he coughed twice, forcefully breaking the silence.
