I Quit, Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons )
Chapter 30
The horse ranch was a wellâequipped
establishment that offered various amenities
similar to a hotel. Therefore, Gordon led Isabella
back and booked a room.
Sitting by the bed, Isabella finally released the
breath she had been holding.
âItâs just a horse, but it was quite a hassle.â Gordonâs
temper had not cooled down, and he tossed his
coat aside before turning to see Isabellaâs pale
complexion. Only then did he ease his tone and
approach.
âWere you scared?â
Returning to her senses, Isabella shook her head
and ran her fingers through her hair. âNo. I just felt a
bit embarrassed.â
Gordon let out a chuckle and sat down beside her,
getting a closeâup view of her profile.
At first, Isabella was startled and then had to face
such an awkward scene, so her face was currently

pale but had a hint of blush. Her lips had regained
their rosy hue, making her incredibly enticing.
Gordon thought that since she hadnât objected to
being called his girlfriend earlier, she probably
wasnât repulsed by him, so he summoned his
courage and moved in to kiss her.
Meanwhile, Isabella was lost in her thoughts but
suddenly sensed someone approaching from her
side and instantly reacted. Her cheek felt cold,
which stimulated her to instinctively scramble up
from the bed.

Gordon hadnât expected such a strong reaction
from her and felt a little embarrassed. He muttered
in a somewhat irritable tone, âWhatâs wrong? Canât I

give you a kiss?â

Clenching her fists, Isabella was so furious that her
body was trembling. âMr. Dunkstein, do you think itâs
appropriate for you to kiss me?â
Gordon furrowed his brows. âWhat do you mean?â
âIf you think itâs no big deal to kiss me, then youâre
treating me like Iâm a hostess. But if I remember
correctly, I never took a penny from you.â Isabellaâs
tone turned cold, her previous docility and
compliance gone. Her words left no room for
compromise.
Gordon felt guilty and somewhat remorseful, but
his tone was still impolite. âIâm not treating you like a

hostess. Youâre being too sensitive.â

âIf thatâs not the case, then please maintain an
appropriate distance. I consider you a friend
because I thought you were worth befriending.
Donât make me regret my judgment!â Her body was
tense, and she struggled to contain her
embarrassment. She gave him an accusing gaze
and managed to make Gordon feel slightly guilty
with just a few sentences, feeling like he had
indeed been too careless with her.
He awkwardly licked his lips while glancing at
Isabella. When he saw she wasnât going to back
down, he stood up with some discomfort. âAlright. I
admit I was wrong, okay?â

Isabella pursed her lips and remained silent.
Running his hand through his hair, Gordon used all
the patience he had over the last twenty or so
years to coax her, âDonât be so tense, okay? My
buddies are still outside, and it would be
embarrassing if we got into an argument.â
At the same time, Isabella didnât want to sever their
relationship either. It was just that she was instantly
overwhelmed with anger just now and couldnât
control herself. Now that she had calmed down,
she wasnât that angry anymore. âItâs fine. Just be
more careful next time. Iâm not someone who clings
on to such matters.â
Gordon watched her closely with his hands in his
Chapter 30 1âs Jutt a Kiss
pockets and teased her, âYou say youâre not angry,
but youâre being so formal with me. Are you really
not mad?â

Isabella relaxed a bit and didnât want to be overly
dramatic. âIâm not mad. After all, youâve put down.
your stance as a highâprofile individual to become
my friend.â
âI have a name, and itâs Gordon Dunkstein. Donât
keep calling me âMr. Dunkstein.â Youâre not one of
those people out there selling themselves, so why
bother learning to act like them?â The young man
rolled his eyes, sounding a bit annoyed.
After releasing her temper, Isabella thought she
had made herself clear and relaxed. Then, she
called out to him, âGordon.â

The young manâs mood instantly brightened, and
he grabbed her hand. âThatâs how it should be. Iâll
bring you-â
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on
the door.
Gordon clicked his tongue and frustratedly made
his way to open the door. Upon opening it, he was
about to throw a fit, but the person didnât enter the
room. âAre you Miss Symons?â
Somewhat puzzled, Isabella went to the door and
replied, âYes, I am. Whatâs the matter?â
âMr. Gates is inside the private room on the third
floor and invites you and Mr. Dunkstein over.â

âWeâre not going.â Gordon rejected it without even
considering it.

The waitstaffâs smile froze, and he turned to
Isabella. âMr. Gates has reserved seats for you. You
should head over and check it out.â
The Gates Family had a firm position within
Imperiaâs forces, so Gordon couldnât afford to
offend Simon. Even Gordonâs father was nothing to
the Gates, but Gordon was simpleâminded and
didnât consider that fact, making him unafraid to
offend others.
Moreover, Isabella couldnât afford to offend Simon
either, and since he had personally invited them,
they had no choice but to agree to it.

âMr. Dunkstein and I will be right there. Please tell Mr.
Gates to wait for a moment.â
The waitstaff politely left.
Gordon slammed the door shut with a bang and
gave Isabella an angry stare. âWhatâs the meaning
of this?â
Walking over to him, Isabella patted his arm. âYou
probably offended Mr. Shaffer because of me just
now. If you refuse their invite again, it might lead to
further misunderstandings.â
She pursed her lips, feeling somewhat
embarrassed. âYou brought me here to have fun,
but Iâve caused you trouble. I feel bad about it, too.â

Not expecting her to be so considerate of him,
Gordon felt a little smug, but he put on a tough
facade and rebuked, âSo what if I offended them?
Thereâs nothing to be scared about.â
His main concern was that Simon seemed to be
paying special attention to Isabella, and he was
concerned that the other had the same intentions.
