Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 160

That bewildered voice shattered the dead silence in the room.

Raelynn absolutely hadn't anticipated this turning into a spectacle.

Shane's violent shove a few days ago had left serious damage.

She had been enduring the agony all day. Even if Sebastian hadn't caught her, she would have found a way to catch her balance and stop herself from totally hitting the floor.

But now...

She lowered her eyes, a flash of pure annoyance crossing her features.

She planted a hand against his chest and pushed him away, offering a stiff, professional response. "Thank you."

Sebastian slowly lowered his gaze to look at her, his expression unreadable. "Where does it hurt?"

He followed up with a question.

His tone was casual enough.

But Raelynn frowned.

The crowd of onlookers grew even more suspicious and unnerved.

From what they knew, the big boss of Croix Holdings wasn't exactly the type to dote on a random researcher.

Seraphina's knuckles turned white around the glass beaker she was holding. She leveled a condemning, icy glare at Raelynn. "A laboratory is a place of data and scientific achievement. I expect you to respect this environment, and respect all the researchers who are busting their asses here."

She pivoted the narrative brilliantly, avoiding a direct accusation that Raelynn was seducing Sebastian, while aligning herself perfectly with the exhausted colleagues who had been working hard all day.

Instantly.

The looks directed at Raelynn turned hostile.

A researcher from Kingsford University stepped up to stand next to Seraphina, glaring at Raelynn reproachfully. "Exactly. Besides... you know exactly who Mr. Croix is. How do you not know to keep your distance..."

Because the cameras were rolling.

They hadn't received Sebastian's explicit green light, so no one dared say "Mr. Croix and Seraphina are a couple" right out loud.

"What are we supposed to do now? That whole exchange was definitely caught on camera."

The moment those words were spoken.

Seraphina's displeased expression darkened drastically.

How could she not see right through Raelynn's little scheme?

She knew the cameras were rolling, so she deliberately pulled this little stunt to make it look like she and Sebastian had some kind of intriguing dynamic!

The entire focus of this documentary was supposed to be on her and Sebastian.

She hadn't even had a single on-camera interaction with him yet.

And now Raelynn had purposely stolen her thunder!
