Billionaire's Accidental Wife novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 When Chelsea reached the bottom step, she spotted Sebastian out of the corner of her eye, laughing animatedly with her sister, and Peter. His left hand was planted firmly on her sister’s lower back The sight made her cringe with discomfort, but could she do something about it? No! Definitely not. She sized him up before they noticed her. Unlike before, when the man was brooding, today he was dressed in a designer pinstripe suit, which was appropriate attire for a man of his caliber. He towered over her sister with the same dark hair she remembered one year ago, that faded almost all the way to the middle of his head. However, his face bore the signs of his age, as unwrinkled lines dotted his forehead and eyes. Despite being obviously a lot older than her sister, his attitude was somewhat authoritative over here, and that immediately annoyed her. “Oh! Hi, Chelsea. We’ve been waiting for you,” Christie said, gazing at her. Sebastian smiled and nodded his head towards him.

“Hi, aunt Chels.” Peter smiled and waved his hands.

She moved towards them cautiously, still examining her soon-to-be stepbrother-in-law.

“Remember Sebastian?” Christie said, grinning from ear to ear. Clearly, she had anticipated this meeting for a long time. “How can I forget?” she faked a smile. “Nice to meet you again, Chelsea. Your sister has told me so much about you and your trip to Kenya.” Sebastian released a big smile and stretched out his hand. She had no choice but to shake it.

She has developed an unexpected distaste for the man who has uprooted her sister from their home in the city by flaunting his hidden wealth and persuading her with outstanding luxuries. Of course, Chelsea was born with it but her lifestyle changed dramatically one year ago. “Unfortunately, Sebastian, I didn’t even know you existed and that you’d been dating my sister.”

Christie whipped her head around at her in a spectacular fashion, clearly horrified by her aggressive comment.

The air becomes thick with apprehension.

My sister glared at her while Sebastian, clearly offended, stayed calm.

“Well…” Chelsea stated, in what can only be an endeavour to lighten the situation somewhat.” Sebastian has some excellent news for you, Chelsea.” She nudged him. “Tell her, Sebastian.” “Well, your sister and I have arranged an apprentice in my company for you while you decide whether to go back to modelling or something you want to do with your life. You will be the personal assistant to my friend.”

The fucking nerve! How dare they?

“My friend is the head of our family’s mining company,” Sebastian started, with a smug and silly smirk on his face, which made Chelsea want to slap his face with his beautiful antique plates. How on earth could this be the same man from one year ago?

“Excuse me?” They ignored them, clearly amused by her reaction.

“I can’t wait until my friend gets here so you can get to know each other,” Christie added with eagerness. “Aren’t you excited, Chelsea? This is a great opportunity!”

No, I am not excited.

Why the hell would I be?

After a year of important and meaningful work in Kenya, which changed the lives of poverty stricken orphaned children, they just expected her to jump straight into the corporate world? No! She wants to go to Africa soon.

She wants them to join the rat race and be some hoity-toity, billionaire’s friend’s PA?
