The sound of splashing water in the bathroom brought Sebastian back to reality. He checked the time and noticed it was 11:30 in the morning – still thirty minutes to the end of the day. Basically, he still got the chance to meet 'Cupid', as Fortune teller Erika's said if he took a step forward. He was so sure that Bonnie smiled while he was passing the toiletries for her and, he had to admit that this was the first time he saw the genuine smile on Bonnie's face!
Sebastian turned back to the study with a deep frown and took out her name card. He started to reconsider the Fortune Teller Erika's words and kept staring at it, losing in deep thought.
After the shower, Bonnie went to bed early. When she woke up the next morning, she realized that Sebastian had not come back to sleep all night. Dissatisfaction mixed with worries about him working overnight was written all over her face.
Sebastian had helped her last night, so in return, Bonnie got up and went downstairs to make breakfast for him. She carefully made him mushroom soup, added with a bit of winter melon slices.
As soon as she finished, Sebastian came downstairs and disturbed Bonnie abruptly. He was wearing a light brown trench coat with short sleeves and suit pants inside, feeling half formal and half casual. His hair brushed back perfectly against the light as if each strand was carefully taken care of. What a wonderful morning!
"Have you finished your work?" Bonnie quickly looked away and handed over the soup bowl, "I know you didn't sleep last night, so I made you some soup. Drink some before going to work?"
"Ok," Sebastian nodded blankly. He sat down at the table to have the soup, but Rupert rushed in to interrupt his breakfast time.
"Hey, man, why did you block me last night? You haven't answered my question yet!" Rupert snapped.
