A sigh came through the phone. "He hasn't slept a wink these past few days dealing with everything. He barely eats, skipping meals left and right. This afternoon, he almost fainted. He forbade me from telling you, but if he keeps pushing himself like this, his body is going to give out sooner or later. Riley, you need to talk some sense into him."
Riley Vance's heart ached with a dense, piercing pain at his words. "I will."
After hanging up, she thought for a moment and made a decision. She was going to see Sebastian St. John.
He already suffered from terrible insomnia, and with so much happening, there was no way he could rest peacefully. She needed to be with him, even if it was just to ensure he slept soundly for an hour.
Over the past two days, she and Sebastian hadn't spoken much. Knowing how busy he was, she only sent him texts around mealtimes, reminding him to eat. He always claimed he was eating well and told her not to worry.
Now it was obvious he had been lying to her.
She also knew he had been living at the office these past few days.
If paparazzi were staking out her place, the situation at St. John Global was undoubtedly worse.
Riley decided to wait until midnight, when everyone's guard would be down, to sneak over and see him.
At midnight, Riley asked Ross Vance to come over and watch Alora. She had already called the bodyguard assigned to protect her in secret; since he had a car, she easily left the neighborhood in his vehicle.
Approaching St. John Global, she dialed Franklin Finch's number. He answered after a few rings. "Ms. Vance? Is everything alright so late at night?"
His voice was steady and clear, a sign that they were still wide awake.
"Where is Sebastian?"
"He's in a meeting."
"I'm coming over to see him. I'm almost at your building. Can you arrange for me to get inside?"

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
