The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 327

Riley had actually wanted to ask how Sebastian knew she was in trouble, but then it clicked: Dr. Jenson told Zachary, and Zachary obviously passed it on to Sebastian. And why on earth would Zachary relay her situation to Sebastian anyway?

Then she remembered the last time Zachary intentionally revealed that Sebastian was the shadowy board member behind First Medical Center, and that Sebastian was the one who arranged her special recruitment and punished those involved in the Jenna Joyce incident. By telling her all of this, did Zachary know how Sebastian felt about her?

But since Sebastian had already stated they should just act normally moving forward, asking anything else would definitely cross a line.

That's why she was hesitating.

She wasn't conceited enough to assume Sebastian would personally come to pick her up. Yes, when the police said someone was there for her, her first thought was Sebastian, but that was just a reflex because he seemed to show up every time she was in a bind.

It definitely wasn't a case of her being disappointed he hadn't shown up and shamelessly asking why.

She was nobody to him; she had no right to ask that.

“No.”

Zachary acted as if he hadn't heard her denial. While driving, he casually continued, “Sebastian went on a business trip. A few days ago, he dropped a major overseas client just to go to Riverport, and now he's stuck doing a site inspection with them to make up for it.”

Dropped a major overseas client to go to Riverport?

Sebastian had gone to Riverport for her.

Riley quickly asked, “Is the fallout bad?”

Zachary answered honestly, “I'm not entirely sure, but this client has backed him ever since he returned to the St. John family. They probably have deep financial ties. Based on how things work in our circle, bailing halfway through a deal means he'll definitely have to give up a huge cut of the profits to smooth things over.”

If it was a major client, the financial hit was probably massive. Yet Sebastian hadn't breathed a word of it to her.
