Had he finallye to his senses? Had his opinion of Natalie changed? He was clearly upset about her.


    At that moment, Emily suddenly spoke up, reaching out to take Sebastian''s arm. Her voice was suggestive. "Mr. Spencer, I thought we agreed to go to the hotel to sign the contract?"


    Hearing this, Sebastian''s cold eyes narrowed. The words that came out were merciless. "Miss Parker, are you that desperate to climb into my bed?"


    An intensely cold, piercing aura emanated from him,ced with a hint of menace.


    Emily trembled, a little frightened of this side of Sebastian. A chill ran down her spine.


    Suppressing her anger, she asked in a low voice, "Mr. Griffith, what do you mean by that? You agreed to it in the elevator on the way here."


    "And don''t forget, Mr. Griffith, we haven''t signed the contract yet."


    Sebastian stopped abruptly, the disgust in his eyes unconcealed. "I have no interest in working with you. Julian, on the other hand, seems quite interested."


    Julian looked at Emily, his gaze glued to her chest.


    Emily was stunned. She lusted after Sebastian''s body; his powerful physique was obviously a sign of his strength.


    In her circle, wealthy women often had several men. Money bought freedom. Many of her close friends were surrounded by elite men.


    She was determined to have Sebastian.


    But Sebastian was unmoved by her beauty and was now even dropping their business deal.


    Julian was also surprised. He had slept with Emily, whose goal was to have him make the introduction. He''d assumed today''s deal was a sure thing.


    But...


    He smiled. "Sebastian, what''s gotten into you? Did something upset you? You''re the one who agreed to this partnership."


    It was the only exnation he could think of. The scene just now must have provoked Sebastian, Natalle was still his woman and seeing her hugging another man was surely grating.


    Sebastian shot him a cool nce. "Julian, you''re nothing but a yboy. Is there anything on your mind besides sex and money? Do you even know how to do business?"


    His voice was cold. In that moment, his calm expression radiated an irresistible authority, the air of a king surveying his domain.


    Julian''s face changedpletely,


    but he kept a faint smile on his handsome features. His fingers, however, tightened slightly. "Sebastian, who are you looking. down on We''ve been friends for years, and you''re talking to me like this?"


    "Hmph!" Sebastian scoffed. Julian had always dismissed his advice.


    He called Natalie promiscuous? He should take a look in the mirror.


    "Sean, let''s go." He strode towards the elevator.


    Sean smiled at Julian. "Sorry, Julian. Our president isn''t in a good mood today. We''ll talk about the contract another time. We''re leaving now."


    Sean''s smile was genuine. Seeing Julian''s pale face made him want to apud. Only Sebastian could infuriate this yboy to the point of speechlessness.


    Julian shot Sean a cold re. Sean had changed. So had Sebastian.


    "Hmph!" Emily was furious. "Julian, what''s wrong with him? I just invited him to the


    hotel to sign the contract. Why did he get so angry?"


    Julian looked at her, his gaze


    carrying a cold pressure. "Emily, you


    think I don''t know what you''re


    u''re fike?


    You really think you just wanted to


    sign a contract, with no other ideas in-mind?"
