Chapter 864 Strategic Engagement
But... in my recollection, Sebastian was a chubby and cheerful lad!
The svelte and elegant figure standing before me... could this indeed be the Sebastian back then?
"That's correct, it's me."
Perhaps sensing Cherise's incredulity, Sebastian's lips curved into a faint smile, and he made the familiar gesture of tapping his temple with his hand.
It was a trademark of the chubby Sebastian of old.
Cherise was taken aback, her mouth agape for a moment.
He... He has genuinely undergone a remarkable transformation!
Yet...
"Why have you come here?"
"I've come to find my sister."
The man's smile softened as he turned towards Yolanda. "Sis, cease your mischief and return home with me."
Yolanda rolled her eyes. "Mischief? Me?"
"What mischief have I caused?"
"Did you not witness my act of assistance?"
"Assistance?"
"It appeared more like an outburst of frustration."
With measured steps, the man approached, extending his slender hand to drag Yolanda to her feet, then guiding her towards the door.
Upon reaching the threshold, he handed Cherise a business card. "It's been quite a day. Let's reconnect when time allows."
"And do convey my apologies to your companion. My sister was somewhat unruly. I shall attend to her promptly!"
With that said, without awaiting Cherise's response, Sebastian swiftly departed with Yolanda in tow.
Cherise remained rooted in place, clutching the business card bearing Sebastian's contact details, her thoughts in disarray.
Could such serendipity genuinely exist in this world?
"Cherise, lend a hand here!"
