Chapter 481 A Costly Encounter
The endorsement fee had been reduced to 1.5 million, which was quite an attractive
offer. No star of Briana’s caliber would ever accept such a low price. Isabella felt a bit
tempted, but she also felt helpless. Could she possibly convince Seth to meet with
Briana? She paced back and forth in her office, then decided to call Nicolas.
“Isabella.” Nicolas answered the phone quickly.
Isabella cleared her throat, “Um… is Mr. Shaffer available?”
“Are you looking for Mr. Shaffer? I can go ask him for you.”

“No need, no need!” Isabella quickly stopped him.
Nicolas was confused, “Then what do you need?”
Isabella ran her fingers through her hair and took a deep breath. “Does Mr. Shaffer have

any upcoming business engagements?”
“I’ll check for you.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Nicolas was silent for a moment, then informed Isabella, “Mr. Shaffer is free next
Monday evening. He seems to be attending the opening ceremony of Miss Cline’s The
Red House.”
Right! She suddenly remembered that Courtney had also sent her an invitation. Isabella
was overjoyed, thanked Nicolas repeatedly, and then hung up the phone. She
contacted Briana again, saying that she could arrange for her to meet Seth, but only for
a meeting.
Briana’s demands were not high. Like a fan meeting a star, she only wanted a chance to
be close to her idol in the front row. “Can I speak to Mr. Shaffer?”

Isabella was speechless. Well, the demands were becoming more and more
outrageous.
“750 thousand!” Briana suddenly made an offer, saying, “As long as I can speak to Mr.
Shaffer, I only want 750 thousand for the endorsement fee!”

Isabella held her forehead and squeezed her thigh hard. It was like a gift falling from the
sky; she couldn’t refuse even if she wanted to
“Okay!”
“Yay!” Briana was overjoyed on the other end of the phone, cheering non-stop, and i
took a long time to hang up.
Isabella held her phone, thought for a moment, and then called Courtney to inquire
about Seth’s whereabouts that night.

“You’re coming, right? Want to sit next to him?” Courtney clicked her tongue twice.
Isabella cleared her throat, “No, I was just asking casually.”
Courtney thought she was shy and didn’t ask any further. After ending the call, Isabella
clenched her fists in excitement. She had saved a significant amount on the
endorsement fees, and she was sure to achieve good results this quarter.
With the major problem solved, she could focus on the morning meeting. Natasha was
being discharged from the hospital today, and Isabella had promised to pick her up.
As soon as the meeting was over, she went straight to the hospital. Ever since she had
offended Christopher, Isabella made sure to avoid taking shortcuts and deliberately left
work early whenever she went out.
She arrived at the hospital at six-thirty, and before she went upstairs, she noticed that
the hallway was filled with bodyguards.

Several of them looked familiar. She had seen them around Dariel. She hurried upstairs
and ran into Dariel as soon as she got out of the elevator.
Dariel was in high spirits, clearly in a good mood. Seeing Isabella, he resumed his
previous attitude. “Here to see Natasha?”
Isabella looked at him warily, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to take her home,” Dariel said casually.
Isabella was surprised. Knowing Natasha as she did, there was no way she would
forgive Dariel again.
“She’s in the room packing. You can go in by yourself.”
Isabella watched Dariel enter the elevator, stood in place for a moment, and then
hurried to Natasha’s room. She knocked on the door, and Natasha’s voice came from

inside. “Corne in.”
Isabella pushed the door open. Her eyes swept across the room, and she was
immediately taken aback by the sight before her.
The room was filled with roses. Natasha was surrounded by a sea of flowers, applying
lipstick in front of the mirror.
