Old Mr. Lynch was in the villa. How could Sebastian carry her into the house like that? It was too intimate of a gesture.“Don’t move!” Sebastian warned, looking displeased.Tamara did not dare to struggle after that, afraid that she would end up falling over.She could hear her heart beating against her chest furiously. She could not stop a blush from spreading across her cheeks.Upon entering the villa, a maid offered them slippers to change into. However, she was momentarily stunned when she saw how intimate Sebastian and Tamara were. She did not know if she should offer them one pair of slippers or two.After Sebastian changed into a pair, he carried Tamara straight towards the elevator.At this moment, Old Mr. Lynch happened to be making his way downstairs.When he saw the position Sebastian and Tamara were in, a huge grin appeared on his wrinkly face. “What are you guys heading upstairs? Come join me for dinner.”Tamara felt like burying her face in the sand at the mome
A cold voice sounded from behind.Tamara turned around to find that Sebastian had walked out of the study at some point.He swept his dark eyes over Tamara’s figure, then said to Ms. Thompson, “I’m hungry too.”The housekeeper nodded firmly upon hearing that. “Alright. I’ll make sure to get you both something to eat.”Sebastian went straight downstairs after that.Tamara stared at the man’s tall, slender back as he descended the stairs. She did not know why there seemed to be an indiscernible feeling brewing in her heart. It seemed like Sebastian had waited for her to wake up to have dinner with her.Upon coming to that conclusion, Tamara smacked herself on the head. “That can’t be possible! He was probably just busy with work before this,” she thought.After putting that unrealistic thought out of her mind, Tamara walked downstairs.The two ended up eating in silence.Upstairs, Old Mr. Lynch came out of his room as well. He stood by the stair banister and was only able to
Sebastian’s gaze stilled at the reminder.“So what if they’re participating? Why are you so excited?”After shooting Jerome a blank look, he turned his attention back to his computer.Jerome was momentarily taken aback and hurriedly said, “Well, since Cutie-pie’s IP address pinned the user down as someone from Skarrowlilt Grove, I’m rather curious as to who in your household would possess such awesome gaming skills. Whoever it is, they’re being very secretive.”A glint of something flashed across Sebastian’s inky gaze. He asked in a casual tone, “When does the competition start?”“The fifth of next month.”“Alright. You can leave now.”Jerome honestly had no idea what Sebastian was thinking. However, since he had said everything he needed to, he left as instructed.Eventually, Sebastian felt his focus shift gradually from his computer to the Facebook application on his phone.Several days had passed, yet Tamara had yet to accept his friend request.Displeasure painted his fea
Sebastian paused, his dark gaze falling on Tamara’s face.Tamara bit her delicate lips and her pale face flushed bright red. The shyness she exhibited made her look pitiful.“Have you changed your mind?” Sebastian asked in a deep voice, his voice magnetizing.Determination flashed in Tamara’s eyes. She wrapped her hand around his neck and planted her soft lips onto his.Her warm lips made contact with his cold ones. Tamara’s body trembled uncontrollably, her eyelashes fluttering lightly against her eyelids. The kiss was very crisp.Sebastian took a deep breath, his Adam’s apple bobbed sensually as he swallowed. He placed his large palms around Tamara’s waist, gripping her slender waist tightly.They started to kiss deeply.Tamara’s breathing had grown uneven. She wanted to shy away.However, since she had offered herself up to the man, it was difficult to rein him back.Tamara let out an unconscious moan all of a sudden. Upon hearing that, she blushed a deeper shade of red, ma
”Shut up!”Sebastian raised a wine glass, glaring coldly at Benjamin.Benjamin waved a hand at him. “You should just give up. It’s not like you have any taste buds. Wouldn’t I be at a loss if I drank with you?”Sebastian’s expression darkened. “Are you drinking or not?”The cold tension in the air began to spread. Sensing danger, Benjamin hurriedly got up. “I’m going to get Margot. I bet she’ll be able to get a hold of the mixologist from before. Maybe they can whip up something you can actually taste.”After saying that, Benjamin left.Sebastian was rendered speechless.His friend’s words put him off.When Benjamin waltzed his way into Margot’s office, she had only just requested Tamara to stop by. Upon seeing him, displeasure flashed in Margot’s beautiful eyes. “Don’t you know how to knock? You don’t have any manners at all, do you, Mr. Inkling?”Benjamin acted all innocent. “I did knock! You just didn’t hear it. Honestly, if you’re that bothered, I can just redo my entrance
A pained shriek echoed.Benjamin’s tall frame was bent over, resembling a shrimp’s body. He hugged his foot as he hopped around in circles.Margot stroked her own hands and sneered, “Where did you get the audacity to toy with me?”Benjamin’s foot hurt immensely, causing him to contemplate every decision he had ever made up until this point in his life.It turned out that Margot had heartlessly stomped on his foot in high heels.Benjamin’s face contorted in pain. “Margot, you’re so heartless.”Margot replied in a flat tone, “Aren’t you going to leave? Mr. Inkling, do you happen to not know what pain is?”“Alright, alright, I’ll leave right away…”Benjamin knew that the woman had a fiery temper. However, he didn’t expect her to get fired up to such an extent.It honestly felt like Margot could kill in a fit of rage.Having successfully chased Benjamin out of her office, Margot let out a proud smirk.She knew that Benjamin was a playboy. She did not like frivolous men like him.
”Oh no, oh fuck, oh shit!” Tamara cursed inwardly.Upon hearing the cold voice that could chill anyone to the bone, her heart nearly beat out of her chest.“He couldn’t possibly have recognized me, could he? Surely not,” Tamara consoled herself.Most of her face had been hidden, and her back was facing him, after all. There was no way Sebastian would be able to tell that it was her.Tamara did not do as asked. She merely continued walking forward.Benjamin was taken aback. He snickered and said, “Looks like not everyone heeds your every command.”Sebastian’s expression darkened at that. He moved forward and demanded, “You there, stop right there!”The closer he moved toward the figure, the more familiar the person seemed.Tamara’s breathing quickened, and she was trembling slightly. When she heard Sebastian’s tone, she figured that it was just a matter of time before the man found that it was her. She was at her wit’s end.“Gosh, what took you so long? I’ve been trying to get
Benjamin managed to drag Margot into her office.Margot was unable to overpower Benjamin. After getting forced into her office, only then did the man let go of her.“Benjamin Inkling, what the hell are you doing?”Margot was beyond furious. She honestly believed that Benjamin was only around to make trouble.Benjamin retorted, “I should be asking you that! What are you planning to do?”“Didn’t you see how horrible Sebastian was treating Tammy? I’m worried that he’ll bully her!” Margot said straightforwardly. Then, she moved towards the door with the intention of getting out.Benjamin reached a hand out to prevent the door from opening. “If you’re around, he might do just that. Without you there, I think he’ll relent.”Margot was taken aback. “What do you mean by that?”The man shot her a devious smile. “Some things just aren’t easy to explain. This just happens to be one of those cases. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you?”Margot fell silent for a short moment.Of cou
