Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594 First Official Day

Sebastian instinctively clutched the stack of love guides tightly to his chest and lied through his teeth, “Mrs. Hadley, these company documents are highly classified and confidential. I’m afraid I cannot grant you access to them.”

Christina’s playful demeanor vanished in an instant as she stopped teasing him right away. “I apologize for my impertinence. I’ll let you get back to your work. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye, Mrs. Hadley.” With that, Sebastian swiftly exited the villa. He opened the car trunk and hastily stuffed the books into a cardboard box.

Having done all that, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had never experienced such guilt before.

It wasn’t that he feared embarrassment; he was concerned that Bailey might stumble upon those love guides and misconstrue their purpose.

When Sebastian was lost in his thoughts, Victoria suddenly appeared behind him and said, “What are you hiding in the trunk? Are you hiding something from me?”

Sebastian hurriedly closed the trunk with a resounding thud. “No, it’s just some documents.”

Skeptical about his response, Victoria raised an eyebrow and tried to pry the trunk open to see for herself. However, the man firmly held the car trunk, overpowering her efforts. Eventually, she conceded.

“I’m heading back to the office for work. Let me send you home first.”

Victoria grabbed Sebastian’s arm and lamented, “Today marks your first official day as my boyfriend. Why are you working instead of going on a date with me? I don’t care; you must spend the day with me!”

Sebastian had a knack for resolving challenging work-related issues speedily, but he was at a loss when it came to navigating the intricacies of romantic matters. Prior to meeting Victoria, his personal life consisted solely of work and sleep.

Within Hadley Corporation, Nathaniel was unanimously recognized as the reigning workaholic, with Sebastian securing the second spot.

Sebastian found himself caught in a dilemma. “Ms. Lesley, I really am too busy to spend time with you. today.”

Victoria glared at him, refusing to let the matter rest. “You’re my boyfriend, Sebastian. Why do you continue to address me with such formality? Are you sure you like me?”

Her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

Caught off guard, Sebastian panicked and fumbled for words. “I’m sorry. I’ve just gotten too used to calling you that. Please don’t cry.”

“If you want to make me happy, call me ‘sweetie’ or ‘darling’ from now on.” Victoria insisted, striking the iron while it was still hot.

Sebastian’s ears flushed with embarrassment, and he shifted his gaze away from her. “It doesn’t seem appropriate.”

“What’s wrong with that? Or are you hinting at taking things further? If you’re willing. I don’t mind you calling me your wife. Victoria teased.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Sebastian made a firm decision to ward off any further suggestive remarks from her. “Henceforth, I shall address you as Victoria. Let’s agree on that.”

Knowing she shouldn’t put too much pressure on him, Victoria smiled gleefully and said, “All right, Darling. You can call me whatever you like.”

Sebastian carefully pried her off of him and opened the passenger door. “I’ll take you home.”

Victoria’s joy lasted less than three seconds. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and reluctantly got into the car.

Just as Sebastian leaned down to fasten her seatbelt, she grabbed his tie and planted a firm kiss on his lips.
