“Tomorrow Karl will go with you.”
“Huh?”
“And be back by three o’clock.”
Sebastian’s tone indicated that there was no room for negotiation. After dictating his terms, he turned his attention back to his computer.
Sasha wasn’t sure if her intuition was right.
She felt he was more distant all of a sudden. Even his gaze, that was kind and warm a moment before, had turned gloomy and disagreeable.
“Alright, I’m leaving now.”
She served the tea hurriedly and left as quickly as she can.
Could something be wrong at the office?
Fortunately, he made her a promise. Even if something went wrong, it wouldn’t have anything to do with her.
Sasha returned to her bedroom and relayed the good news to Brandon over the phone. “He promised me I could go tomorrow, but I can’t go alone, and I have to be back before three.”
Brandon stomped his feet in frustration. “Before three? The Sanders’ wedding starts at three! What the hell are you going for?”
Him and his filthy mouth!
Sasha shrugged. “What choice do I have? It was hard enough getting him to agree to out. Do you think he will accommodate me more than that?”
Brandon did not answer.
We’ll figure something out when the time comes.
It was possible for Kelly to arrive before the wedding began. She was a close family friend to the Sanders.
At last, the two of them came to an agreement.
The next day, as she was about to leave, Brandon called her with some disturbing news.
“Sasha, did you see? There’s a rumor online claiming that Sebastian is mentally ill.”
“W-What did y-you say?” Sasha stammered, almost dropping the comb in her hand.
Mental illness?
How is this possible? What happened?
She was distressed. Throwing down her comb, she scrambled for her iPad in her bedside drawer.
Brandon was still ranting on the phone. “Didn’t you do online? Apparently a book has been circulating online. People are speculating that the character is Sebastian because of their close resemblance.”
Sasha turned pale.
