Chapter 75
The door suddenly slid open with Siri's voice detecting a strange person in the building.
'Sebastian, there's an unidentified lady in the house; please check her out; she might be a threat,' Siri announced.
Sebastian sat straight on his plush sofa, slowly tapping his fingers on his thigh, "Ignore, Siri." He quietly commanded, pinning his eyes on the approaching Ash.
'Alright, stranger successfully ignored,' Siri replied.
Ida walked in with Ash beside him; Jasper trailed behind, slowly maintaining a distance from the two.
"Boss," Ida and Jasper bowed as they reached in front of Sebastian.
Ash timidly bowed her head too, looking very small beside the guys.
"You said you have something to say, Ash," Sebastian stared at Ash.
Ash nodded, "Yes, Mr. Orion," She replied.
Sebastian looked toward the dining and frowned.
Zeno was sitting beside Ken as he fed the boy while Nicholas decided to rest his arms on Zeno's sides, caging him as he placed his hands on the table.
His fists automatically clenched beside him, he thought he'd be able to endure the tortuous sight until the moment when Zeno turned his face to speak to Nicholas and almost jammed his lips with his.
"Boss?" Ida dared to move a little closer as he called to Sebastian.
Sebastian slowly blinked away from the annoying view and faced Ida.
"Get Julia," He moved his icy glare to Jasper as he ordered.
"Yes, boss," Jasper immediately turned and walked out of the house.
"Take her into my office, Ida," Sebastian stood and walked past Ash, heading right toward the dining.
"Yes, Boss. Come on," Ida placed a gentle hand on Ash's lower back and directed her towards the office.
Sebastian reached the table and paused beside Zeno.
"You need to work," He placed his hand on the table, just beside the plate Zeno was scooping from.
Zeno and Nicholas turned to look at Sebastian at the same time.
He had suddenly appeared and spoke beside them, talking to them without them hearing him approach.
Nicholas gently leaned away from Zeno and walked over to Sebastian.
Zeno turned to Sebastian, briefly looking at his eyes and quickly turning to Ken.
"I'll-"
"He's not going, Dad, he's feeding me," Ken pointed his finger to his chest, frowning at his father.
Zeno saw that Sebastian was about to say something mean to the boy so he gently stood up and faced Sebastian.
"I'll just hurry up and-"
"Are you refusing my order?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes and gritted his jaws.
Zeno sighed, why was he feeling like there was just so much tension in the air? Especially with Sebastian standing so close to him.
"No, Boss, I'm not," Zeno lowered his head.
"Sir, you asked for me," Julia's voice diffused the thick air around them as everyone turned to look at her.
"Finish up with Ken," Sebastian informed.
"Yes, sir," Julia replied and smiled at Ken.
She knew that they were now on a mission to terminate the evil and cunning Darren, and she would be the happiest person if they succeeded. She knew the evil that man had done with Mr. Glen and they deserved to be punished.
Julia stepped forward and held Zeno's arm, "I'll take it from here," She smiled at him.
Zeno nodded and stepped away from the chair.
Ken had an unhappy look on his face but Sebastian wasn't in the mood to entertain his tantrum.
Zeno patted Ken's shoulder, "I'll see you later, buddy," he gave the kid a fist bump and stepped away from the dining.
Sebastian automatically turned and followed Zeno as he walked toward his office.
He was about to enter his door when he felt Nicholas' hand on his shoulder.
"What?" Sebastian turned his face behind him and stared at his friend.
Nicholas sighed and shook his head.
"You have to take it easy on Zeno; the guy's done nothing to you; he's not your father, who you should be angry at," Nicholas spoke quietly so Zeno wouldn't hear them from inside the room.
"And you're speaking as what? His boyfriend?" Sebastian raised his brow at Nicholas.
"I love that you're wishing me well, dear friend, but I'm not his boyfriend yet, hopefully, soon. But I'm speaking as a friend," Nicholas replied.
"And since when do you lecture me on how I treat my workers?" Sebastian turned to squarely face Nicholas.
Nicholas stepped back, raising his hands beside his head, "You're the boss, Sebastian," He said with a smile.
"It's good you know, Nicholas," He replied and turned away from him.
Inside the office, Zeno was standing beside Ida and they were both standing behind the sofa that Ash was sitting on.
"Check your phone, Zeno. You caused a lot of chaos yesterday...where the fuck did you run off to?" Ida asked in a whisper.
Zeno frowned and fished out his phone from his pocket.
He quickly read the message Ida had just sent him, shock marking his face.
He turned his head to Ida in surprise.
"He took care of me? Called a doctor?" Zeno whispered.
"And refused to eat all day," Ida added.
"So it's true...damn," He felt guilty.
He suddenly remembered feeling lightheaded when he stepped out of the car that night. He recalled feeling like he was having a heavy fever, and he remembered hearing voices in his head; he couldn't recall everything, but he knew that he felt better the next morning.
Guilt was eating him up. He acted so ungratefully by leaving Sebastian's side the moment he woke up and going on about his day with Nicholas.
The door was pushed open and Ash startled, shrinking back on the sofa.
