“Are you done staring at me?”
“Huh? What?” Sasha snapped out of it, her pale face flushed in a matter of seconds before she turned around and hid under the blanket.
That was so embarrassing!
However, the man behind her was snickering. Sebastian grinned after seeing what Sasha was doing. “Since you’re performing exceptionally well, I’ll allow you to get discharged tomorrow.
“Really?”
Sasha was like an excited little girl, instantly turning back towards him.
“Yes.” Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “I’ll come and handle the paperwork tomorrow morning. The day after happens to be Christmas Eve, so you should do some preparations when you get home. I’m too busy to do anything.”
Within a few sentences, Sebastian was able to push all the work onto Sasha.
If it was in the past, Sasha would have been delighted.
They hardly ever got along, so it was out of the question for him to give her any work to do. Back then, even being delegated some house chores would make Sasha feel happy.
Having said that, she just looked at him and sat up.
“I’m hungry.”
“Didn’t you just eat?”
Sebastian raised his head after hearing her and looked at her with his beautiful onyx eyes. He was amazed.
Right then, Sasha shifted her gaze away awkwardly. “What I ate… was lunch.”
Her voice was as soft as a little kitten. She sounded like any patient would, weak and winded.
It made Sebastian’s heartbeat speed up as he seldom saw here in this current state.
Thus, he said nothing more and made a call to order some food.
After half an hour, a deliveryman appeared at the door with two huge boxes of food.
What’s this? I’m the only one eating right? That’s too much!
Sasha looked at the man on the sofa with a puzzled expression. “Why did you order so much food? How do you expect me to finish them?”
“Who told you that you’re the only one eating? I have to eat too, you know,” Sebastian replied while he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his fingers gliding across the keyboard on his laptop.
Sasha was instantly taken aback by what he just said.
He hasn’t eaten too? Wait… this isn’t about whether he ate or not. Why is he eating here in the first place? And with me?
