"Sorry, Bas, can you drive faster?" Gabriella asked as she continued to stare ahead. The road was empty, but their car had been overtaken by other cars several times.
“Sorry, Mrs. Evans. I have to put safety first,” the secretary said casually.
“But, there are not many vehicles on this road. I guess it's fine if you increase the speed."
A second later, Sebastian turned his head and sighed faintly. “Now I understand why Max fell in love with you. You're so sweet and caring," he said unexpectedly.
Gabriella's blinks suddenly froze. With furrowed brows, she tried to break the tension. "Why did you suddenly say that?" she sighed with a small crease on her forehead.

Sebastian who just sat on the sofa, had returned to a serious expression, the expression he always showed whenever he was dealing with work. "Are you annoyed that I stopped your act?" the real mastermind asked. The secretary shrugged curtly. “What can I do if you have given the order?” he said casually.

Gabriella exclaimed with sharp eyes, even though tears could fall at any time."Don't get me wrong," the old man shook his head, raising eyebrows. “I just want to give relief to the illegitimate child.

Not a single muscle of her face dared to move.“Therefore, help Max by making him choose Quebracha.
