Maddie was thrilled and gave an OK gesture, then stood by Putnam's side.
Putnam glared at Sebastian, and Sebastian looked away pretending not to know anything.
In the end, Putnam left helplessly, and Maddie followed him with a shy face.
"Cyrus, you should go home too. Can you give Gillian a lift?"
Cyrus didn't want to leave so soon. He hadn't spent time alone with Stephanie yet, but he knew that with Sebastian around, there wouldn't be a chance. Staying would only make him feel more annoyed. So he agreed to help Stephanie, "Alright."
Gillian quickly declined, "Steph, it's okay, I'll grab a cab home later."
"Why not take the ride when it's available? You don't need to worry, Gillian, Silver Fox will be with me. I'll be fine."
"Alright then, thank you, Mr. Damon."
Cyrus casually said, "No problem."
As long as Steph remembered the little help he gave, that was enough. No, just remembering him was enough. He would grow and become a new person.
The future him would definitely impress Stephanie.
After everyone left, Stephanie looked at Sebastian and said, "Silver Fox, I want to stay with my mom. If you've got something to do this afternoon, you can go."
Sebastian casually said, "I've postponed this afternoon's work until tomorrow. I'll accompany you inside."
"Okay."
