Chapter 269 Harmony Of The Ages
Isabella entered the house to find Seth already hard at work in the glass room of the
living room. He had arrived just a bit earlier than her, but his efficiency was evident.
Brushing off her annoyance, she regretted the wasted time of the evening and quickly
went to freshen up.
Twenty minutes later, she finished getting ready and returned, only to find him still in
the same spot.
The room, encased in glass, was soundproof. He couldn’t be heard from outside while
talking on the phone. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Isabella boiled water for her medicine and made coffee for Seth.
She brought the coffee to the door and knocked. He glanced at her and pressed the

door open button, continuing his call.
After entering, she placed the coffee down and hesitated for a moment.
He ended the call and said indifferently, “Just state your business.”
Isabella smiled ingratiatingly and quickly pulled up a chair. “Nemotors is facing
bankruptcy and restructuring. I’ve never dealt with this before. Any advice?”
Seth looked at her. “Do you know how much I charge for a lecture?”
His response left her speechless.
He withdrew his gaze, his tone dismissive. “There are books and files in the study. Find
them yourself.”
Worried he might change his mind, Isabella hurried to the study.

Inside, she found a desk and books scattered everywhere as she turned on the light.
She slumped her shoulders. “Mr. Shaffer, do I have to read all of these?”
“You couldn’t grasp all this even if you read until your next life,” Seth’s voice came from
behind.
Startled, Isabella turned to see that he had followed her.
The man was a head taller than her. He looked at her condescendingly and casually
walked into the study with one hand in his pocket.
She trailed behind him like a shadow.
As Seth perused the bookshelf, he tossed relevant books to her.
Catching them carefully, Isabella was about to start reading when another book flew

toward her, forcing her to catch it.
With five thick books-taller than her head-in her arms, she struggled to hold the
weight.
“Mr. Shaffer!”
Hearing her call, Seth turned to see a towering pile of books that completely obscured
her face.
“Can’t you put them down first?”
Isabella pouted. You were throwing them too fast. I didn’t get a chance to set them.
down.
Ignoring her complaint, he pulled out another book and instructed, “Get through these
in a month. I’ll quiz you.”

Overwhelmed by the pile, she said, “I can’t finish…”
Her words trailed off as she met Seth’s gaze.
“I’ll do my
best!”
He looked away and returned to the desk, where he found two thick, bound files.
“These are plans from two bankrupt companies that Shaffer Group handled. Study
them.”
As if they were precious treasures, Isabella eagerly set the books aside and received
the files with both hands.
After “assisting” her, Seth turned and left, shutting the door behind him.
She was about to leave with her materials when she heard his voice from outside.

“Read them in here.
Hmph!
It turned out Isabella couldn’t take the materials out.
Pouting, she sat down and inhaled the scent of the book before bracing herself for the
daunting task ahead.
Thankfully, she excelled at learning.
She settled at the foot of the couch with a pen and dove into reading.
Outside, Seth remained in the glass room. They were separated by just a door, each
engrossed in their tasks. It was so harmonious that it could bring tears to one’s eyes.
Whenever Isabella stumbled upon something confusing, she would research it. If it

remained unclear, she would note it down to seek his guidance later.
As she lost herself in reading, time slipped away unnoticed until her stomach growl
It was nearing midnight.
Her earlier meal had been light, and her throat remained sore while hunger arose.
It sure is troublesome.
Setting the book aside, Isabella quietly opened the door and saw the living room
darkened, with Seth still at work in the glass room.
She quietly entered the kitchen in search of something to eat. Nestled in a corner, she
discovered a large bag of pre-seasoned pasta. All she needed to do was cook it.
Feeling confident in the soundproof glass room, she turned on the stove.

When she turned around, he unexpectedly stood at the door, having silently appeared.
Startled, Isabella nearly lost her breath.
Seth requested, “Make one for me as well.”
She blinked. “O-Okay!”
After she responded, he silently drifted away once again.
Standing by the induction cooker, Isabella contemplated his words.
Did he ask me to cook one for him?
It was uncommon for Seth to use such a polite tone, and she found herself slightly
taken aback.

As she prepared the pot, she decided to add two eggs, celebrating his unusual show of
courtesy.
In Isabella’s opinion, it was worth commemorating.
The pasta cooked quickly, and in her excitement, she eagerly checked its texture before
serving it.
Returning to the living room, she saw Seth seated, not bothering to stand as she
approached with the plates.
Nevertheless, she was content with this small step towards civility, understanding that
one could not expect too much too soon.
