Ck!
It’s as if they want to skin Mr. Know-It-All, Sebastian Sinclair, the Raptor Boss. She doesn’t want to ask too many questions, but it seems like their relationship isn’t good. Oh well. Throughout the three years of working with Sebastian, she didn’t want to know too much about Bella or Sebastian. Just enough.
“Hmph!” Irene shook her head firmly. “Why bother thinking about irrelevant things like that?” She redirected her steps toward this Jakarta-themed restaurant. Hopefully, her boss won’t have a problem with her menu choice. She has already ordered everything she thinks Sebastian can eat. And she requested a somewhat private table.
Irene knows Sebastian’s taste well.
Including…
“Oh my God, who’s the girl he’s bringing along now?”
Due to an email mistake yesterday, Irene ended up working overtime. Although a comfortable hotel room was provided for her to rest, Sebastian never stopped pouring tasks on her. It’s suffocating, really! “Raptor is insane,” Irene complained.
She took off her glasses that always framed her bright brown eyes. Occasionally, she rubbed them even though she shouldn’t. What can she do? Her eyes feel itchy! She glanced at the clock in the room, squinting and trying to focus even though it was blurry. “It’s already eleven at night? Oh my God!”
She dragged her weary steps. The soft bed called out to her loudly as she approached. She threw herself onto it and lay down as she pleased. She would sleep until noon if she didn’t remember that they had a meeting at ten tomorrows. Sebastian’s visit to Sidoarjo, aside from being specifically asked to meet Bella’s grandmother, also had a purpose related to a project in the area. They were discussing the construction of a factory to supply materials in the area, and the land acquisition was still under negotiation.
This matter took the longest to reach an agreement. Dealing with the design, utilization, and allocating funds to make the land a suitable building was an easy task as long as the land had been acquired and was ready for development. Just as Irene was about to turn off the room lights and immediately close her eyes to wake up feeling refreshed, she was once again disturbed. The doorbell of her room rang.
“Who could it be?” She quickly grabbed her glasses from the nightstand, put on her cardigan to cover her short pajamas, and approached the door.
“Room service, Miss.”
Irene furrowed her brow even more. To confirm, she quickly glanced through the peephole. A hotel staff member stood there in his uniform. “What is it?”
“Oh, this is for you, Miss.” The staff member handed her a sealed plastic bag with a pharmacy logo clearly visible. “It’s delivery from Mr. Sebastian for you. He said, don’t forget to take it regularly.”
Irene became even more puzzled. Since when did Raptor become so considerate? Just as she received the bag and closed the door, her phone rang loudly. Oh no, why did she forget to lower the volume? She felt so silly. Sebastian’s name appeared on the screen, and she quickly swiped the green icon to answer the call.
“Did you receive my package?”
“It’s not a bomb, right, sir?”
“Those are Raptor’s eggs!”
Irene burst into laughter, feeling satisfied. “Sir, when you’re in a joking mood, you’re completely different. But when you’re serious, you really resemble Raptor.”
“Shut up, Irene!” Sebastian’s tone still sounded annoyed. “First, take a look at the contents of the plastic bag. I purposely bought you some vitamins.”
“What for, sir?” Irene was genuinely puzzled. Sebastian is not usually this attentive. Every time he buys something, there’s always a reciprocal favor that needs to be given. Why is it different this time? Is there someone like Sebastian? Yes, there is! The proof is that he’s still alive and leading Faldom to greater success, even with his manipulative tactics and numerous demands.
Irene could take herself as an example. She was given an agenda with a leather cover and a pen that cost an exorbitant amount, which made her stomachache. She didn’t want to accept it, but Sebastian knew exactly how to make Irene say, “Thank you, sir.”
What happened next?
“Write down everything important. If necessary, make a copy on your forehead too. Don’t let my schedule be wrong. It’s not just you who will be embarrassed, but me as well.”
“Oh come on! If you want to reprimand Irene for her mistake, why do you have to give her a gift? Can’t you speak nicely without using sarcasm? Irene also knows that she made a mistake by missing a meeting schedule. That’s why she emphasizes now having a backup of the boss’s activity notes. Don’t mix them up because she mistakenly input Tuesday as Thursday.”
That’s why she asked what the vitamins sent by Sebastian are for. If it’s just to boost stamina because she’s going to be tortured, Irene should just go back to Jakarta! Even though the overtime and business trip calculations this time have made her enthusiastic about completing all the tasks at hand, if Sebastian keeps misbehaving, she should just resign. She can work at the office in Jakarta. Let Sebastian find another assistant!
“You didn’t ask the wrong question, Irene?” Sebastian asked with an investigative tone. “You know what the vitamins are for, right?”
“I know,” Irene replied shortly.
“Then why did you ask me?”
“Who knows if you’re planning to torture me tomorrow. Vitamins are a form of bribery so that I won’t collapse.”
Sebastian burst into laughter. He laughed so hard it hurt his stomach in his room. It felt like he was about to fall off the bed from rolling around in amusement after hearing his assistant’s words. “Torture you?” Once again, Sebastian laughed. “I’m so cruel, aren’t I?”
Irene frowned. She wanted to say, “Just realized it now, sir?” but she didn’t dare. It’s better for her to remain silent.
“I bought them because, during lunch, your face looked very pale. Did you see a ghost or something?”
Irene blinked slowly, understanding Sebastian’s remark this time. It’s not that she didn’t realize his intention, but if her face was pale because she saw a ghost, Sebastian’s guess was the most absurd in the world. The only reasonable thing that could make her face pale was… the woman Sebastian brought.
Irene’s mind was dragged back to an incident that had not even passed 24 hours.
“Irene, meet Bonnie.”
The blonde woman kept clinging to her boss’s arm. Although her hand was extended, her eyes… stared at Irene sharply, covered by a wide smile full of allure.
“Hello,” Irene greeted, trying to be friendly.
“Is she your assistant, honey?”
“Yes.” Sebastian, let go of her slightly. “Let’s eat first, shall we?”
