Chapter 16 - Busy?
Isabelle Orsino
I went home with a bouquet of white tulips and a little drunk. I walked in and struggled to even stand still.
"I guess you had a lot of fun huh?" I turned to see Sebastian was leaning on the wall with a glass of alcohol in his hand and when the whole room is very dim. He took a sip and I was trying to hard to keep my balance.
"So.. did you.. have a lot of fun?" He asked as he walked towards me.
"I think I had a lot of fun." I said in a small voice. "Why.. why are you still up?"
"I don't really know why I'm still up, maybe I just want to see how much my wife had fun.." He drank all of it in one shot. He put the glass on the table near.
"I only drank a couple of shots and dance on the dance floor." I said and I didn't even know why I said that. Sebastian grabbed my wrist and led me to the kitchen. He picked me up and made me sit on the kitchen table.
"Here." He gave me a glass of water.
"Thank you." I said as I put my bouquet of tulips beside me. He stood in front of me and I put the glass down.
"What?" I asked because he looked like he has something to say. I was going to ask him again but he helped me take my heels off.
"Should we push our honeymoon?" He asked and I guess he waited for me because he wanted to ask me to push the honeymoon.
"No." I said firmly and he was so taken back by my answer.
"Why? Can you give me the exact reason why?" I asked as I pulled my legs up.
"I have a lot of work until next week." He said and I know that he's going to meet up with Candice.
"Oh really? I'll help you then, I'll go to your office tomorrow." I said and he looked at me disbelief.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Nothing. You're drunk, you should get some sleep." He said and with that he left me alone. I let out a long sigh and looked up to the ceiling. I got down from the kitchen table and walked to the pool. I put my legs into the water.
"Hello." I answered my phone.
"Where are you?" Elijah asked.
"Why?"
"You sound so sad." I chuckled when he said that.
"Why did you call?"
"I'm going to Santorini for some work, do you wanna come?" I smiled when he knew exactly my favorite place.
"When?"
"It's already midnight so.. today 6 am."
"How about we stay there until next week?" I asked.
"That's a great idea, do you want me to pick you up?"
"Yes, please."
Sebastian Grey
I sat down on the sofa completely pissed. Pops just called me that Isabelle actually pushed the honeymoon to in the end of the month. Not only that, she's actually in Santorini with Elijah right now.
I don't even know which one made me angry more. The fact that she told me no but still pushed it back or the fact that she said no herself but she decided to go on a vacation with Elijah.
"Mr. Grey." I looked up to see Cole entering my room.
"I knocked a few times but you don't answer."
"Sorry."
"Ms. Cleveland is waiting for you, can I bring her up here?" Cole asked and I nodded. Candice actually texted me yesterday that she's hoping to see me.
"Hello Sebastian." Candice smiled and I got up from the sofa. She gave me a hug and I gestured her to sit down.
"How are you, Candice?" I asked.
"I'm good, how about you?" She asked and I turned to the papers in front of me.
"Right, you're busy and obviously not okay." She sighed.
"What brings you to LA?"
"One, to see you and two, I'm bringing you a good news." She said squealing and I leaned back to my sofa crossing my arms.
"What exactly is the good news?" I asked.
"I'm moving back to LA in two months and I'm divorcing my husband." She said and it made me face palmed myself.
"Congratulations then." I said.
"I was hoping that we could.. get back together. I spend my two years regretting." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"So.. let me see, your husband got bankrupt because you took all the money?"
"Sebastian.." Candice sighed.
"I'm surprised that you still has the guts to come here after breaking my heart and stole 1.5 million dollars. You should be glad that I'm nice enough to let you pay for 3 years." I said glaring at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Find another man to be your next victim and you should pay your 500.000 dollars by next month, or else.. I'll see you in jail." I said smirking and she walked out from my office right away.
I grabbed my phone and decided to call my wife who is having the best time of her life in Santorini.
"What?" She snapped.
"I heard that you pushed the honeymoon back, I thought you're the one who's so excited to go?" I smirked and I could hear her cursing under her breath.
"I'm busy."
"Oh really? Let me go to Santorini now and help you." I said and she went silent.
"What?"
"I'll take a flight to Santorini now and find you, just you wait."
"Wait! Ah fuck!" She hissed.
"Yes, wife? Did I hear you say wait?" I said but certainly laughing inside.
"I'll be back by tomorrow."
"No, you're taking a flight now. I'll be waiting for you at home and we'll go on our honeymoon right away." I said and ended the call. I would pay a lot of money to see her face.
"Cole." I called him loud enough for him to come to my office.
"Yes, sir?"
"Prepare the private jet tomorrow morning, I'm going on a honeymoon."
