Sebastian couldn’t believe Sasha was nowhere to be seen even after a day.
Has she always been such an obedient woman? Since when has she ever listened to my instruction apart from this one?
“Mr. Sebastian, it’s time to take your medicines. We have everything ready according to Dr. West’s prescription.”
“No!” he repeated himself with a frown and made his way upstairs.
None of the housemaids had the guts to defy him after being on pins and needles over the past few days in fear of offending the grumpy man.
They thought Sasha would return soon, but she was nowhere to be seen again. Hence, things got increasingly intense as compared to the day before for those in Oceanic Estate.
“Mr. Sebastian, are you going for another physio session in the garden today?”
“Of course!” he deadpanned his reply, confusing the rest of the housemaids. As much as they wished to figure out the things he had in mind to stop getting on his nerves.
As much as they wished to figure out the things he had in mind to stop getting on his nerves, they couldn’t because the man was a tough nut to crack.
Several housemaids brought him to the garden and stood aside, awaiting the man’s instructions.
When he tried to bring himself up and tiptoe his way to the pavilion, he groaned in pain and took the housemaids by surprise.
“Mr. Sebastian, are you okay? Have you hurt yourself?”
All hell broke loose in the garden as the housemaids weren’t sure of the things to do.
One of them thought of getting in touch with the doctor. Thus, she rushed in the direction of the living room and announced, “Mr. Sebastian, I’ll go get Dr. West over at once!”
“She’s right! We’ll get Dr. West over to check on you immediately!”
The rest of the housemaids thought it was a brilliant idea. Thus, they sent someone to make the call.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t reach Sasha since she had switched off her phone. To be precise, she was forced to switch off her phone since she was several thousand feet above the air in a plane.
Nonetheless, there was no way the housemaids were aware of Sasha’s whereabouts. Unable to reach Sasha, they started exchanging glances with their faces puckered in fear.
In the end, the disappointed bunch returned to Sebastian. “M-Mr. Sebastian, Dr. West seemed to have switched off her phone. W-What are we supposed to do?”
Crack!
A sentence was all it took to trigger the frustrated man into cracking the branch of the tree, startling the already intimidated housemaids around him.
“Can’t you guys even take care of Mr. Sebastian? If you guys can’t reach Dr. West, just get in touch with Old Mr. Jadeson! He’s going to decide on the next best course of action!”
