Sebastian scratched the spot between his brows and his eyes fell silently on the speechless Natalie, who had been standing to the side the whole time.She was bowing her head down.
Sebastian had no idea if she was looking at something on the ground or simply trying to avoid making eye contact with him.
Perhaps Sebastian had been looking at her for too long because Natalie suddenly lifted her eyes, glanced over at him, snorted, and then looked away again.
Their awkward silence was finally broken.
Rosa kept right on crying, waiting for Draco’s next words.
“I won’t go too deep into what you’ve done in the past.”
As usual, Draco’s voice was gentle and courteous, but his face was expressionless.He turned to look at Rosa coldly and said, “I can’t tolerate my employees doing anything against morality.Rosa, you may go ahead and hand your work over to Elizabeth.After that, you can go to the personnel department to go through the resignation procedure.You will no longer be working here from now on.”
This was what Rosa had expected all along.
“All right, I see.I’ll hand over all my work today.”
Rosa tried her best to suppress her tears.
After having said that, it was hard for her not to break down in despair and run out in tears.
The departure of the troublemaker caused a subtle change to the originally depressed mood of the office.
Everyone immediately bowed their heads and went back to work, but they were still paying attention to the conversation between the three people.
After clearing his throat, Draco made his way up to Natalie and Sebastian and said, “I’m sorry to have caused you this much trouble.”
Draco was proof that people born in refined rich families were always well-educated, gentle, and implicit “It’s all right, Mr.Wesley.It’s over now.”
Natalie nodded in his direction.
After all, this man was her boss.
Even if she was angry at him, she didn’t dare to speak a word of it.
Furthermore, Rosa had been dismissed and the matter was over now.
With a gentle smile on his face, Draco looked into Sebastian’s eyes, turned to Natalie, and said to her, “Natalie, I’m sorry about all the trouble I’ve caused you.I’ll give you the day off, so you can go home now.”
After being startled for a few seconds, Natalie suddenly turned around and glanced over at Sebastian.
The other party pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were obviously filled with guilt.
“No, thanks, Mr.Wesley.There’s still a lot of work I need to do here.Taking the day off will only hinder my progress.I’m fine.”
With a bright warm smile on her face, Natalie went straight to her desk and immediately began to work.
Sebastian’s face scrunched up into a frown.He was a little anxious right then as he watched her with mixed feelings.
Why wasn’t she giving him a chance to explain himself? Having heard Natalie’s words, Draco became serious at once.
He made his way to Natalie and knocked on her desk with his knuckle.
“I’m the boss, and your boss says you’re given a day off, all right?”
ince Draco insisted, Natalie had to picked up her purse and be on her way.
Seeing that she was leaving, Sebastian quickly followed behind her.
In early spring, the city happened to be still a little bleak and cold.
Even though everything had started turning green, the cold wind was a steady reminder to people that winter hadn’t really passed yet.
Sebastian pulled off his coat and tried to put it around Natalie’s body.
However, Natalie immediately hailed a cab and got in before he could.
“Shall we head home and talk there?”
Sebastian followed behind her and grabbed her hand.
Natalie shook off his hand and proceeded to continue ignoring him.
However, Sebastian managed to get into the car as well.
“Sebastian, get out of here at once!”
Natalie turned to look at the man with anger in her eyes.The door was immediately slammed shut.
Sebastian leaned against the car seat, pretending not to have heard what she said.He absolutely refused to get out of the car.
Natalie bit down on her bottom lip, opened the door, and was about to get off.
However, the driveway happened to be on her side of the door.
As soon as she opened the door, a sports car sped right past her.
Dust and wind blew over her body.
“Didn’t you see a car coming just now?”
Sebastian closed the car door, grabbed hold of her wrist, and pulled her right into his arms.
He said in a low and commanding voice to the cab driver before him, “Drive.”
But where to? The driver looked at the two with confused eyes from the rearview mirror and curled his lips.It was really troublesome to have a quarreling young couple in his cab.
They didn’t mention where they were headed, so he started to drive randomly around the city.
Natalie’s face had turned a crimson red.She glared at Sebastian with her clear eyes and wanted to say something, but she had no idea where to start.
“If you keep staring at me like that, your eyes will literally pop out of your sockets.”
With a teasing smile playing at his lips, Sebastian pinched her cheek and planted a big kiss on her face.He wrapped his fingers around her soft tendrils of hair and his eyes were trained on her.
Even when he seemed like he was languishing in sorrow, he still looked like a rascal with that signature devil-may-care smirk of his.
Natalie did everything she could but she could not get rid of him at all.She had seen with her own eyes just how strong Sebastian was a long time ago.
The cab driver drove around the city for a long time.
Finally, he stammered to the couple in the backseat, “Where are we headed?”
“Seaview Bay.”
“The White Alley.”
The two of them spoke at the very same time.
They each told the driver their home address.
The cab driver was stunned and asked, “So where on earth are we headed?”
Natalie stared at Sebastian and said, “Now that we are heading to different places, you should get out of the car now.”
Seeing her so unmoved like this, it was hard for Sebastian not to burst out laughing.He was left with no other choice but to compromise.
