Chapter 67 Isabella, Do You Miss Me?
“Good day, Mr. Lawrence.”
"Good day, Mr. Lawrence, madam."
“Good afternoon, Mr. Lawrence...”
People kept greeting, but Sebastian didn't even blink, walking straight ahead with an imposing presence.
Isabella felt that the most embarrassing stage of her life started after meeting Sebastian.
Her walking posture now was a bit strange, but she definitely didn't want anyone to notice, so she could only timidly hide behind Sebastian.
Doesn't this man have any ounce of tenderness and consideration!
She was hungry and in pain, feeling weak and wanting to sleep again.
"I didn't come here to learn from you. It's clear that I came to fulfill your..." Isabella didn't finish the sentence and muttered to herself, "beastly husband."
Sebastian looked back at her. “What did you say?”
"N-nothing."
He lowered his head, his gaze drifting down to her odd walking posture, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Isabella really wanted to cover his mouth with her hand.
In fact, she did just that.
But Sebastian seemed to misunderstand, as soon as her hand reached out, he took the opportunity to put her hand on his shoulder and bent down to carry her bridal style.
"Hey, you..."
We're still in the company, and he's carrying her like this... isn't it inappropriate?
“Say another word and I’ll kiss you.” Sebastian’s words silenced her. “Behave.”
Isabella had no choice but to obediently stay in his embrace, burying her face in his chest, her ears turning slightly red.
Sebastian carried her into the car and asked, “Do you want to apply some medicine?”
"What medicine?"
“Doesn’t it hurt there?” he said. “Just apply some medicine.”
What? Apply medicine there?
First, she definitely couldn’t do it herself because she couldn’t see it.
Second, Sebastian wouldn't let anyone else do it for her, only him...
So...
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore, I'm alright," Isabella quickly changed her words. "Let's eat first, I'm about to faint from hunger."
Considering that she had indeed fainted from hunger before, Sebastian didn't dare to waste any more time.
In the restaurant, he ordered several dishes and instructed the waiter to bring them quickly. "My wife is hungry."
“Very well, Mr. Lawrence. Please wait a moment, I’ll urge the kitchen.”
Sebastian nodded and looked at Isabella across from him. She was eating the appetizers, chewing them loudly without any table manners.
Noticing Sebastian’s gaze, she pushed the appetizer plate forward. “It’s not bad, want some?”
He didn't move, so Isabella simply picked up a piece and fed it to him. "It tastes really good, try it."
Only then did he open his mouth and eat it.
"When do you plan to resolve Emily's matter?"
Isabella asked, "I haven't seen her for almost a week, and I miss her."
"Miss her?"
"Yes, we used to meet every few days. We would go out for meals, shopping, and watch movies..."
Sebastian squinted his eyes suddenly, looking at her. "Isabella, if you didn't see me for a week, would you miss me?"
"I think I haven't gone a week without seeing you... I see you almost every day."
"I mean, if I were to disappear."
"Then you should disappear for a week and see." Isabella replied, "Then I can find out if I would miss you."
If Sebastian could stay away from her for a week... Isabella thought, it would be like a heavenly experience.
She could do whatever she wanted, free and unrestrained. Eat, drink, sleep, worry-free, and enjoy herself to the fullest.
Sebastian's face instantly turned sour, not looking too good.
She quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I would miss you, definitely."
Sebastian fell silent, leaning lazily on the armrest of the single seat with a relaxed posture. His slender fingers rested on the armrest, tugging at his tie, and he took a sip of water.
She wouldn't miss him, he figured out the answer. In fact, she even wished he would disappear faster.
Isabella's current obedience and docility were all trained by him.
He knew very well what kind of personality she actually had. She was like a prickly thorn, sharp and piercing. A spicy chili that never backed down or showed submission. She even dared to challenge him several times, unafraid of provoking him.
During this period, she gradually changed and adapted herself to his thoughts and ideas, disguising herself.
The atmosphere was not as intimate as before.
Isabella was not interested in making an effort to please him and continued eating the few remaining pastries.
Since the day Isabella met Sebastian, he had only disappeared once for three days.
Later, she learned from someone else that he had gone abroad, but it didn't seem to be work-related.
Isabella had always been reluctant to dwell on it, but it gradually became a thorn in her heart, impossible to remove.
The dishes were served quickly, and Isabella breathed a sigh of relief, breaking the heavy atmosphere. "Let's eat, I'm starving..."
She ate happily, and although Sebastian didn't seem to be in a good mood, he still took the initiative to pick up food for her and ate very little himself.
When they returned to Lawrence Group, Sebastian went to the meeting room for a meeting and reminded her, "Wait for me to come back, we'll leave together."
"Okay."
Watching his figure disappear from her sight, Isabella glanced at the time, and it was already four o'clock... Oh my!
What has she done on her first day of work?! She couldn't believe it was already time to leave!
It's all Sebastian's fault for dragging her to the lounge on the first day... Ahem, she couldn't let that happen again!
She felt guilty!
When Isabella entered the secretary's office, she saw that everyone was busy working, and she flashed a smile to deal with the situation. After all, it was Mrs. Lawrence. Who would dare offend her? She didn't want to work here anymore.
She walked into her office but found nothing to do... She should have gone to the meeting with Sebastian instead. Despite his bad mood and indifference towards her, it was better than sitting idle here.
Isabella sat in front of her desk and opened the computer's search engine. After a moment's thought, she typed a line — "How to get along with new colleagues."
One minute later, Isabella walked out of the office and went to the café across the street.
"Hello," she said. "Please give me ten cups of coffee and ten assorted pastries, packed and delivered to Building A of Lawrence Group across the street..."
Treating her colleagues to afternoon tea was the best way she could think of.
Isabella smoothly gave the address, and the cashier worked swiftly. "Alright, please wait a moment. Madam, it comes to a total of 1,762 dollar. How would you like to pay?"
"Credit card, please."
"Sure."
Isabella handed over her bank card and entered the password, but...
"I'm sorry, ma'am," the cashier asked, "but it seems like... your card doesn't work."
Isabella froze for a moment, realizing that her credit card had been deactivated, and the balance in this card seemed insufficient.
