The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 542

The elegant, delicate handwriting unexpectedly shattered the last remnants of his sleepiness.

Sebastian's first reaction was pure disbelief. They had been passionately intertwined just last night. Her warmth and scent still lingered in the room. How could she want to break up after waking up?

A wave of absurdity washed over him. He instinctively thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He picked up the paper, but the words remained glaringly clear, without a single crossed-out mistake, as resolute as if she were leaving no room for negotiation.

His fingertips trembled slightly. The weight of that thin piece of paper seemed too much to bear, and it fluttered from his grasp to the floor.

He immediately dialed her number. A smooth, robotic female voice echoed from the speaker. "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

Sebastian's chest tightened. He turned and strode out of the bedroom.

Franklin Finch opened the front door just in time to see Sebastian rushing toward the entrance. "Boss, where are you going?"

Sebastian stopped and turned back. "Have you seen Riley?"

Franklin looked confused. "Isn't she in your bedroom?"

"She's not." Sebastian turned to leave again.

Franklin quickly stopped him. "Are you going out dressed like that?"

Sebastian finally realized he was still in his pajamas. His fingers curled tightly at his sides as he turned and hurried back to the bedroom.

Franklin realized something was wrong. His boss was always composed; the only time he ever lost his cool was when it involved Riley. Weren't they deeply in love just last night? What was going on this morning?

He grabbed the car keys and waited at the door. A moment later, Sebastian emerged from the bedroom, washed and fully dressed. Franklin asked urgently, "Where are we going?"

Sebastian replied in a low voice, "The Grand Regency."
