The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 600

The signing gala.

Macy listened to the dial tone on her phone, her brows knotting so tightly they practically formed a braid.

Why did she hang up?

Had she pushed too hard and made Riley give up entirely?

Wasn't Riley a psychologist? How could her mental resilience be this fragile?

Wasn't this the exact moment she was supposed to rise to the challenge and crash the party to take back her man?

"The signing ceremony is over."

A deep, icy voice suddenly sounded next to her.

Macy whipped her head around to find Sebastian standing beside her. He had already stepped off the stage. She knew exactly what his words meant: I held up my end of the bargain. What about yours?

He had agreed to partner with the Sinclair family, and she had promised to help him win Riley back. That was their deal.

She had confidently sworn to him that tonight, he would finally get his girl.

But Riley completely refused to follow the script, and now... things had spiraled totally out of control.

Confess or hide it?

Macy only hesitated for a second before choosing the former.

This partnership could be cancelled, but the Sinclair family could never survive Sebastian's wrath.

She forced a stiff smile. "Sebastian, I need to tell you something."

Sebastian was dressed in a sleek black suit, one hand casually in his pocket, the other holding a glass of red wine he had taken from a waiter's tray on his way down. His long, pale fingers gently swirled the glass. At Macy's words, the motion stopped.
