It seemed that she was waiting for him to text her back.
“Okay. see you there.”
Seth put his phone aside and rubbed the spot between his eyebrows.
Things were looking up In a Michelin-starred restaurant, Julia had arrived first. She checked herself out in her compact mirror and frowned.
After applying a little more lipstick, she finally smiled in satisfaction.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting”
Seth arrived in a brown windbreaker over a white shirt and tie and a vest, making him look particularly casual yet put-together.
“It’s okay. I just arrived, too.”
Flustered, Julia blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. She wondered whether Seth had seen what she was doing just now.
With a faint smile, Seth handed the menu to Julia and winked.
“Ladies first.”
Julia shyly took the menu from him. She was a little surprised that he had showed up.
Seth had always been indifferent to her, and he seldom answered her calls or texted her back She had been disappointed for a long time because of this.
But now, here they were, in a restaurant together.
Seth wasn’t in the mood to flirt with her.
After all, he was indifferent when it came to women.
The only thing that could make him excited was the idea of power and money. And right now, the only thing on his mind was the need to defeat Sebastian..
As long as he thought about that he had the chance to trample him under his feet, he was trembling with excitement.
Since Julia liked him so much, surely she’d be open to the idea of marrying him.
If they could join forces, he would have the Walker family’s help and support, which would finally make him a match for Sebastian.
Seth touched the silver ring on his ring finger absentmindedly.
His wife’s family used to be a prominent one in the country.
However, it was pretty much down and out now.
The Javis family failed to keep up with the ever-changing business trends, and in Seth’s eyes, they had already lost the game completely.
Throughout the course of the meal, Seth was more enthusiastic to Julia than before.
Julia was delighted.
Soon, she grew bold and started to rub his shin with her foot under the table.
Because the Klein family lived in Seacisco, in order to deal with them, Sebastian now often stayed there, and so did Natalie.
On the days Sebastian didn’t go to the office, he stayed in the study at home..it was as though he was always in a never-ending video conference.
Holding a tray with a cup of coffee and a plate of pastries, Natalie knocked on the door lightly.
“Honey, may I come in?”
“Of course.”
Sebastian’s voice was low. He was scolding his subordinates just now, and there was still a trace of anger in his eyes.
Ever since he declared war on the Klein family, he had been on edge every day, always on the verge of snapping.
Only when Natalie was around did he have a smile on his face.
“The servant told me that you haven’t had dinner. I make some chicken soup, and I can bring it to you later.”
After setting the coffee on the table, Natalie put a biscuit into Sebastian’s mouth and pouted.
“If this keeps up, your body will break down.”
She tugged at Sebastian’s wrinkled shirt and narrowed her eyes at him disapprovingly.
Sebastian looked back at her in silence.
Then he stood up, leaned his back against the desk, and pulled her into his arms.
Swallowing the biscuit, he then kissed her on the lips.
“I never told you off when you were working nonstop.”
Natalie almost rolled her eyes, but stopped when she saw that there seemed to be something off about Sebastian. He looked restless, like a bloodthirsty beast out to hunt his prey..
“Honey, I’m worried about you.”
Wrapping her arms on his neck, Natalie started to kiss him back, deepening the kiss.
Soon… Sebastian’s palm slid from her waist to her buttocks. It wasn’t until the both of them were out of breath that Sebastian finally let Natalie go.
He lowered his head, resting his forehead on hers.
“I’m fine. I’m going to succeed.”
In his deep voice was a strange mix of calmness and madness.
Fearing that Sebastian would fall into an irredeemable pit of hatred, Natalie hugged him anxiously.
“Tomorrow is Saturday. Let’s go out on a date, okay? We haven’t hung out for a long time.”
“But I have work…”
Sebastian started to say. Natalie pouted like a spoiled child.
“I don’t care! You have to go out with me. The Larson Group won’t be destroyed with you gone for one day.”
In the end, Sebastian had no choice but to go with Natalie to the beach.
“Look! It’s a beautiful day!” Natalie exclaimed happily.
Wearing a bikini and a straw hat, she faced the beautiful sun and sea and took a deep breath.
Sebastian raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight.
Looking at the crowded beach, he couldn’t help but frown.
“We should go to my private beach.”
Natalie sat down on a folding beach chair and sunbathed happily.
The wind was blowing, whipping at her hair.
