Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 385 After Dinner

Cecilia’s pov

I stared down at the plate as Sebastian added more food.

"Thank you,"I murmured, deliberately avoiding his gaze.

I could feel Mabel and Scarlett’s shocked expressions. They weren’t blind.

No boss treats their secretary with such intimacy and care.

Sebastian and I were clearly... something else entirely.

"Sebastian certainly treats his employees well,"Scarlett remarked, her gaze ping-ponging between us. Her smile carried an unmistakable undertone, and when her eyes landed on me, they held thinly veiled contempt.

Then Sebastian’s smooth voice cut through the tension. "Being good to my girlfriend is simply what’s expected."

His tone was casual as he placed another serving on my plate.

The moment the word "girlfriend"left his lips, the atmosphere froze solid.

After about ten seconds of deafening silence, Mabel set down her fork. "Sebastian, your parents don’t know about you and Cecilia yet, do they ? Your mother would hardly approve."

Her tone had shifted dramatically.

I laughed inwardly. How quickly they show their true colors. The moment they realized I wasn’t some trust fund princess, their whole attitude changed.

Sebastian’s expression darkened.

Before he could respond to his grandmother’s implied criticism, I stood up. "Please, continue your meal and conversation. I’ll be going now."

With that, I turned and walked away. If they didn’t like me, fine. I had no interest in winning them over either.

Sebastian rose to follow me. "Cece... "

I moved quickly. Concerned I might trip, Sebastian stayed close, trying to steady me. "Calm down,"he murmured.

I silently mouthed three words at him : "Go to hell."

I had barely finished my silent cursing when I pushed his arm away and quickened my pace. Just as I approached the doorway, I collided with someone rushing in from outside.

The impact nearly knocked me over.

"Cece !"

"Zaria !"

Sebastian caught me from behind while Zaria grabbed me from the front, effectively trapping me between the siblings.

Luna Regina, following close behind her daughter, swatted Zaria lightly. "Why are you rushing about like that ?"She pushed Zaria aside and took my hands, examining me anxiously. "Cece, are you hurt ? Did you hit anything ?"

Her eyes darted briefly toward my stomach.

I sighed deeply inside while responding politely, "I’m fine, really. Don’t worry."

"Thank goodness. Now come sit down. What are you doing in Colorado Springs anyway ? I thought I was seeing things when we arrived !"

"... That’s not necessary. I’ve finished eating and was just leaving."
