Chapter 54 Mr. Landon Has Become More Easygoing.
When Sebastian finished handling the documents, it was late at night. He put away his phone and looked at Isabella's face, gently saying, "I don't know why, but I always feel like you have some kind of attraction to me."
He reached out his hand and touched her cheek lightly, sighing, "If it had been you that night, that would have been great."
-
On Jack's side, things also ended in the middle of the night. Vanessa and Samantha both denied intentionally hurting Isabella, and due to lack of evidence the police had to let them go.
Vanessa got into the car. After the car started, she coldly asked, "Where is Mr. Landon, Jack?"
Jack started the car and replied, "You should ask Mr. Landon."
Vanessa sneered and said, "Do you think I won’t?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed Sebastian's number. However, the phone rang twice before the call was refused.
She dialed again, but the phone indicated that it couldn't connect.
Vanessa angrily commanded Jack, "Take me to Harvard University! I want to see Mr. Landon!"
-
Jack ignored her and continued to drive quietly.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside Sebastian's mansion.
Jack opened the car door and said, "Please get out, Ms. Field."
Vanessa glanced at the mansion and angrily said, "I told you to take me to Harvard University, didn't you hear? Or are you deliberately ignoring me?"
"Sorry, Ms. Field, I only follow Mr. Landon's orders," Jack's attitude remained polite but distant.
Vanessa had no choice but to get out of the car. However, she immediately ordered a taxi with her phone and said, "It's fine if you don't take me, Jack! I'll take a taxi myself! I want to see if Mr. Landon is at Harvard University, if he's with Isabella!"
Jack was about to get in the car when he heard her words. He stopped and said, "I’d advise you not to go, Ms. Field. Mr. Landon definitely doesn't want to see you right now!"
"I’m his girlfriend, I have the right to see him! You’re just an assistant, Jack, what authority do you have to command me?" Vanessa lost her sanity in her anger. She usually spoke politely to Jack, but she didn't want to pretend to be cultured anymore.
Jack glanced at her and lightly said, "It's up to you."
Then he drove away.
Soon, a taxi arrived and the driver asked, "Is this the car you called for?"
"Yes!" Vanessa opened the car door and was about to get in, but hesitated as she remembered Jack's words.
"Miss?" When the driver saw that she wasn't getting in, he asked, "Should we leave now?"
Vanessa finally made a decision. She closed the door forcefully and said, "I'm not going anymore!"
Even though she really wanted to see Sebastian, she knew Jack was right. Sebastian wouldn't want to see her right now.
The driver cursed angrily and drove away.
Vanessa calmed down outside for a moment before entering the villa. When she entered, she noticed that the living room lights were on and the TV was playing. Zoe was sitting on the couch watching a soap opera. The exaggerated laughter from the soap opera annoyed Vanessa, and she wanted to turn off the TV. But she knew she couldn't offend Zoe. She didn't know what the consequences would be if Sebastian found out she didn't respect Zoe.
Vanessa took a deep breath and walked over to greet her. "Hello, Grandma.”
Zoe glanced at her and turned back to the TV, ignoring her.
Vanessa tried to maintain the smile on her face and asked, "I saw that you didn’t have a lot of dinner, Grandma. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you a late-night snack?"
When Zoe saw Vanessa’s good attitude, she nodded and agreed to her proposal to make a late-night snack.
Vanessa went to the kitchen.
After a while, she came out with a plate of macaroni and cheese. "Your late-night snack is ready, Grandma."
Zoe turned off the TV and walked into the dining room. She glanced at the macaroni and cheese before sitting down and saying, "It looks good, thank you."
"I hope you like it, Grandma. I know you don't like me, but it's okay, I’ll take good care of you." Vanessa said with a smile.
Zoe picked up a spoon and started eating the macaroni and cheese. After a few bites, she suddenly asked, "Did you only make one serving for me?"
"Yes, I'm on a diet so I don't eat late-night snacks. Take your time, grandma." Vanessa stood beside Zoe, suddenly thinking about a bad idea.

The next morning, Isabella slept until she woke up naturally. The air conditioning had been turned off, and the room was a comfortable temperature.
As she put on her shoes, the door to her dorm room opened. A few girls from the neighboring dorm rushed in and surrounded her, asking her questions excitedly.
"Is that your new boyfriend, Isabella? He's so handsome!"
"Where did you find your boyfriend, Isabella? He's really good-looking!"
"He’s handsome and also really gentle."
"You have such good taste, Isabella! Your boyfriends are getting more handsome and classy each time, we're so jealous!"
Isabella caught the key point among all these questions and asked, "My boyfriend?"
At that moment, the door opened again and Sebastian walked in with breakfast in his hands. Everyone in the room instantly fell silent and looked at him.
Sebastian walked over calmly and placed the breakfast on the table, saying, "I bought you breakfast."
The girls all looked at Isabella, smiling suggestively.
Isabella felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Let me introduce you all. This is my boss, Mr. Landon."
The girls were all enthusiastic and reached out their hands to Sebastian, saying:
"Hello, Mr. Landon."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Landon."
"You're so handsome, Mr. Landon!"
"Isabella is our Prom Queen, Mr. Landon, you have great taste."
Sebastian knew that these girls had gotten the wrong idea about the relationship between him and Isabella, but he didn't explain himself. Instead, he looked at Isabella affectionately.
That look made the girls even more convinced of their relationship and theycouldn't help but laugh.
"We shouldn’t disturb them."
"Yes, yes, we have things to do, so we'll leave."
"Goodbye, Isabella. Goodbye, Mr. Landon!"
The girls all left.
"Goodbye." Sebastian politely and gallantly waved his hand.
Isabella was a bit surprised when she saw him like this. In her experience, Sebastian had always been a serious, noble boss. But recently, she found that Sebastian was becoming more approachable and easy to get along with.
Isabella asked, "Didn’t you leave last night, Mr. Landon?"
"I was going to, but I found the door locked when I got downstairs. The dormitory administrator had already gone to sleep, so I had to come back here." Sebastian answered calmly.
Isabella could tell that he hadn't gotten a good night's sleep just from looking at his face. She felt guilty and asked, "Do you want to freshen up before going to the company?"
After all, he looked a bit disheveled now, which didn't quite fit his image.
Sebastian asked, "Can I freshen up here?"
In her heart, Isabella thought, 'You won’t refuse, huh?'
"I'm the only one living in this dormitory right now, so of course you can." Isabella said. She handed him a new toothbrush and toothpaste.
"Thank you." Sebastian took the items and went to the bathroom.
Since she was the only one living in the room, all the cosmetic products on the washbasin belonged to her. Sebastian casually glanced at them and noticed that she used very affordable cosmetics, none of which cost more than a hundred dollars. Then he remembered that a few days ago, Vanessa had used his credit card to buy a skincare set worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
