Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532 Remember Him

My junior? Christina was puzzled.

“Are you the apprentice Ms. Shaw accepted in Ferropene?” Christina asked. Prior to this, I received a text from Ms. Shaw. She told me that she was residing in Ferropene and that she had accepted a new apprentice. She even sent me a photo.

“Yes, Christina. I’ve been wanting to meet you ever since I came back to the country.” Victoria had heard about Christina long ago, and she admired the latter a lot.

Therefore, when she found out Preston was going to meet Nathaniel, the CEO of Hadley Corporation, she asked him to let her tag along.

Christina clicked with Victoria the moment she saw the latter. She thought the young lady was not only bubbly and humble but adorable, too.

The two sat down together and chatted endlessly.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Preston shared a gaze and smiled before they started talking business.

Due to the favor the Lesley family did for the Hadley family the last time around, Nathaniel was willing to make the deal more favorable to Preston.

Hence, the atmosphere was harmonious during the meal.

Preston had something urgent to deal with after the meal, so he couldn’t send Victoria home..

“Sebastian, send Ms. Lesley home,” Nathaniel instructed.

“This way, please, Ms. Lesley.” Sebastian ushered Victoria toward the car.

Victoria glanced at Sebastian and quirked her brow ever so slightly before getting into the car.

After Sebastian got into the car and drove for a while, Victoria tilted her head askew and uttered in a mischievous tone, “We meet again, Oldster.”

Despite remaining expressionless, Sebastian felt his heart racing. She recognizes me!

When Sebastian recognized Victoria right away upon entering the private room earlier, he experienced slight changes in his emotions.

However, he thought Victoria didn’t recognize him when he noticed that the latter didn’t even look at him.

Moments later, Victoria cupped her face in her hands and said, “I don’t feel like going home.”

She had been kept at home ever since she returned to the country, and she was bored out of her mind. Now that I’m finally away from Preston, I don’t want to go home so soon.

“Where would you like to go, Ms. Lesley?” Sebastian tried his best to keep his cool.

Pouting, Victoria answered, “I want to go shopping.”

“Sure.” Sebastian turned the car around and sent Victoria to a mall nearby.

Right when Sebastian was about to leave, Victoria stopped him and requested, “Don’t leave. Come with me.”

Sebastian spaced out when he stared into Victoria’s bright eyes. Our social statuses are too far apart. I must keep a distance from her.

“Ms. Lesley, I have work to do,” Sebastian rejected Victoria.

Victoria was sent abroad to study since young, so she had few friends in the country. To make matters. worse, she ended up arguing with the friends she met up with last time and had a fallout with them.

Thus, she didn’t even have anyone to go shopping with.

Victoria stubbornly insisted, “I don’t care. I want you to keep me company.”

She even stood in front of Sebastian to stop him from leaving.

“Please don’t make things difficult for me, Ms. Lesley.” Sebastian had been working for Nathaniel for decades, so he had experience in dealing with all sorts of spoiled and pampered girls in the past. At that moment, however, he felt rather helpless. What’s with me today? Why do I think Victoria is adorable?

“That’s exactly what I’m going to do!” Victoria didn’t give Sebastian the chance to reject her. As soon as she finished talking, she grabbed his hand and dragged him into the mall with her.

In a flash, Sebastian felt his cheeks burning as his heart pounded in his chest. Following Victoria like a puppet, he seemed to have lost control of his body and allowed her to steer him.

After they were done shopping, Sebastian sent Victoria home and rushed back to the office. By then, it was almost time to get off work.

“Mr. Taggart, there’s a document here requiring your signature.” The secretary, who had been waiting for Sebastian for a long time, handed him a document.

“Okay.”

The secretary stole a quick glance at Sebastian after the document was signed and turned to leave. Seconds later, Sebastian heard people gossiping about him. One could be heard saying, “I’ve never seen Mr. Taggart skip work before.”

“Mr. Taggart seems different today. He looks so gleeful. It’s like he has fallen in love.”

“What? That can’t be, right? My heart would be broken!”

Evidently, Sebastian had quite a few admirers in the office.

Sebastian’s expression darkened when he heard those words. He strode toward them and fumed, “Don’t you guys have work to do?”
