Sebastian laughed, "Don't worry. She won't act like this in front of others."
At least she got along well with those around him.
She only liked to mess with him like this.
Her shy side was kinda cute.
Marilyn asked, "Seb, have you ever met Steph's friends?"
"Nope, but I'll meet them later. Steph gets along well with the people around me, though."
"Martin?"
"Yeah, and his mom too. She takes care of my daily life. Steph has been over a few times and is quite familiar with them."
"That's good! I’m relieved as long as you are there."
While changing clothes in her room, Stephanie overheard Sebastian actually saying nice things about her in front of her mom.
She quickly changed and tied her hair into a ponytail, then came out of the room and said, "Mom, I'm meeting the agent Silver Fox arranged for me this afternoon. What time are you going back to the hospital? Can you wait until I get back?"
Sebastian chimed in, "I can take Auntie back to the hospital. You go ahead and handle your stuff."
Marilyn quickly said, "Seb, you’d better take Steph instead. I can take a taxi back to the hospital, no problem."
"There's Martin to go with her, so it's all good."
"Mom, just let Silver Fox take you to the hospital. Gillian and I will take a cab, and it'll be fine!"
Only then did Marilyn agree, "Alright. You’d better perform well and not let Seb down!"
Stephanie helplessly replied, "I know, Mom. It's getting late, so I'll go first. Silver Fox, my mom is now in your care. I'll just go straight to the hospital to be with her after that. Tomorrow is still a day off, and I'll cook for you."
Sebastian said calmly, "No need. If Gracie does choose you, then you won't have time for that."
