The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 424

Riley: "..."

She had just seen him tonight, and he wanted her back tomorrow night?

Besides, it was already past midnight. Technically, it was already tomorrow.

A couple of seconds later, Sebastian added, "Tomorrow daytime. Not tomorrow night."

Riley frowned slightly. "But I have work, and you have to work too."

"We'll have lunch together."

Hearing this, it felt just like when he was still at the hospital. They had seen each other every day and often grabbed lunch together. The sudden separation had made her miss him too. "Okay, I'll find you after work."

"Alright." His frown finally relaxed. "I'll see you off."

She laughed. "I drove here. How are you going to see me off?"

"I'll walk you to your car."

Fair enough.

Sebastian took her hand and walked her to the car.

Riley couldn't help but fuss over him. "When you go back up, no more working. And remember to send me your sleep log when you wake up."

"I will."

"Also, no coffee or strong tea in the afternoon. You need to keep that rule at the office too."

"Understood."

"Don't try to catch up on sleep during the day either. I know that's hard for you, but you have to push through it."

"I will."

He closed the door and watched her drive away, only turning back toward the building once her taillights disappeared into the night.

When Sebastian walked through the door wearing a new scarf, Franklin immediately took notice. The boss had rushed out of his study earlier, completely abandoning his usual composure. The only person who could make him lose his cool was Riley, so Franklin didn't even have to guess where he'd been.

"Boss, did Ms. Vance give you that scarf?"

"Yes." Sebastian adjusted it. "She knitted it herself."

Franklin sensed a distinct tone of showing off. Sebastian was even sporting a faint smirk. He was clearly in a phenomenal mood.

Franklin couldn't hold back the question that had been eating at him. "Boss, what exactly do you see in Riley?"

Sebastian shot him a lazy but chilling glance, clearly displeased. Franklin quickly backpedaled. "I don't mean any disrespect! I'm just purely curious. There are countless wealthy heiresses in Statenbury you haven't looked twice at. Why her? Someone who's divorced and has a kid?"
