Look at this weird tone; he probably thinks she's untrustworthy.
When asking for help, she was all sweet and nice, but couldn't keep her promises afterward.
Stephanie guiltily said, "Silver Fox, I didn't intentionally skip making you dinner last week. I had a school assignment and studied for a week. I just got back to school last night."
"Stephanie, weren't you acting all tough when you were drunk last time? Now you are all timid once you sober up?"
"Ah, after getting drunk?"
"Looks like you completely forgotten your words!"
"Haha, did I call you when I was drunk last night, Silver Fox? What did I say? Please don't take it to heart. I tend to talk nonsense when I'm drunk. If I said anything offensive, please don't take it personally!"
Sebastian twitched the corner of his mouth, "Stephanie, are you telling me you're in trouble again and want my help?"
"Uh, Silver Fox, why would you say that? Can't I just call and chat with you without any reason?"
What's there to chat about? He's seen right through her - nice when she needs help, a whole different person when she doesn't! So cocky!
"Silver Fox, have you eaten yet?"
"Why, should I wait for you to make me food and starve to death?"
"Then, are you off work yet?"
"Not yet!"
Sebastian indifferently said, "Suit yourself!"
He didn't care anymore! After saying that, Sebastian hung up.
Stephanie, with her phone hung up, stood there blankly for a moment, then pouted, "Humph, what's the big deal!"
Stephanie still put away her phone and went to the school gate. Instead of waiting for a driver, she took a taxi and said Sebastian's address.
On the way, she told Gillian she was going to Silver Fox's place. Gillian understood that she was going to ask him for help with the assistant issue. She just reminded her to be careful on the ride back. Then Gillian went to have dinner with Maddie in the school cafeteria.
Knowing that Stephanie went to ask her boyfriend for help with the assistant matter, Maddie frowned, "You guys don't treat me like a friend, huh! It's such a small matter, is it worth asking for help! You could have just left it to me!"
