“Why are you pouting like that?” Sebastian asked irritably. The corner of his eye glanced at Irene sitting next to him. However, they weren’t close; there was a significant distance between them. “Who’s pouting?”
“I should be the one angry with you. I fell, and you pinned me down. It’s like falling and having a heavy burden on top.”
Can Irene please stop tearing her mouth at Raptor? Since when did Raptor speak without thinking? But if she thought about it, what happened earlier was indeed true. Irene became curious. “Why did you fall earlier?”
Ah! Now it was Sebastian’s turn to stay silent. “Enough. Just fetch the files I need to review.”
“I already emailed you the entire report last night, sir. You just need to print it.” Irene blinked, confused. “You also have a morning meeting, right?”
“I canceled it.” Sebastian’s hand still pointed at Irene. “Quickly, Irene. I need to study it now.”
“Did you have breakfast, sir?” Despite grumbling in annoyance, Irene still focused on the stack of files she had prepared. Don’t think that Irene was flustered! She had never been this close to her boss before. She could even feel his heartbeat. My goodness! If she could turn back time, she would go back a moment after waking up. She had to be careful because of the blanket!
It seemed that she had to add more enemies to her life. The main one being the blanket.
“Not yet. Where would I have eaten? I came here to get the files without bothering you. But why am I so unlucky, stumbling over the bed?” Sebastian grumbled. His eyes glanced back at his slightly reddened foot. “What if my foot was injured? What would happen?”
Irene sighed briefly. Sometimes her boss exaggerated in his reactions. Like now. Where his foot was still intact, without any injuries, just slightly reddened from the stumble earlier. But Irene noticed that Sebastian’s walk was still perfect. No need for assistance or a trip to the hospital.
“It’s because you entered the room without permission.” Irene handed the requested files to Sebastian.
“This is my room, right?”
Irene’s movement to grab the tray of breakfast that Muji had brought stopped abruptly. She stared at Sebastian with an unreadable expression. “Seriously?”
“Why would I lie?” Sebastian chose to make himself comfortable in his seat. “Prepare my breakfast, Irene. My stomach needs to be filled because I have important agendas today.”
Irene still refused to take her eyes off Sebastian.
“Irene, please. Hurry up! I don’t like being late.”
The girl in the satin pajamas still didn’t move from her position. The pajamas Irene wore didn’t have short sleeves or expose her shoulders. She preferred ones that covered her up and had long sleeves. So she wasn’t worried when she uncovered the blanket earlier.
“If you’re busy, why did you come home?”
Sebastian looked closely at his assistant. According to him, this morning was somewhat human since he took off his glasses. Her long hair was disheveled. Her face was devoid of any makeup. Very natural. Unfortunately, Irene’s cheeks seemed to be getting thinner for some reason.
“I have to make sure you get the right vacation time.”
Sebastian wasn’t deaf when he heard Irene’s irritated sigh. He looked carefully as the girl carried the tray, her eyes trying to focus. This made Sebastian move quickly. “Let me do it. Where are your glasses?”
Irene was startled. When the tray she was carrying was taken over by Sebastian. She wanted to stop him, but she was also afraid that everything would spill and make a mess. They wouldn’t have breakfast then. Ah… if she remembered correctly, his glasses were on the table next to the bed.
“Irene?”
“I’ll get your glasses, sir.” Irene said with a thin smile. “You should have breakfast first. Is there anything missing? Shall I get it from the kitchen?”
“Where are your glasses, by the way?”
“Over there,” Irene pointed innocently. The place she pointed to was where Sebastian’s photos were neatly displayed. This made Sebastian stare at Irene in disbelief.
“You… did you pay attention to that photo too?”
“Yes.” Irene nodded innocently.
“Oh my!” Sebastian slapped his forehead. “Embarrassing!” He quickly headed to the bedside table where his childhood photos were displayed. “They should be hidden.” Irene burst into laughter. “So that’s why you fell?”
“What else?” Sebastian said irritably. He quickly passed by Irene. It was better for him to get his glasses and hide the photos that he didn’t think Irene needed to know about. Why did he forget to remove those photos?
“Your younger self looked so cute there. Chubby cheeks. I wanted to pinch them because they were adorable. Why did you become annoying now that you’re all grown up?”
Those words made Sebastian turn around. “What are you talking about?” No, Sebastian wasn’t angry. He felt that Irene was different today compared to their usual interactions. Especially since her laughter seemed different.
“I’m not saying anything, sir. Just commenting on your childhood photo that I found adorable. It looked like a male version of Bella and a bit chubby.”
“Is that so?”
Irene nodded without hesitation.
“I was going to hide it. Or… should I just leave it?”
“Whatever you’re comfortable with, sir. If you think I shouldn’t see the photo, I’ll forget about it.”
“If you ask me, it’s not a problem for you to know.” Sebastian stepped closer to Irene. The girl was just as she usually was. Rarely backing away when Sebastian approached, whether it was when he was angry, talking, giving instructions, or even during long discussions.
“I’ll keep it in my deepest memories, that you were once an adorable person. Who transformed into an admirable person.”
