Sean grinned, teasing him. "Sir, you''re finally paying attention to Mrs. Hall. You


    know, I was starting to get worried. You haven''t asked about Ms. Scott once in thest few days. It used to be, ''Go check on Joanna,'' ''Ask her assistant if she''s eaten,'' or ''What is she wearing today, is she warm enough?'' You practically worshiped her. I''m really not used to this three-day silence."


    "You''re a real pro at this dating thing, sir," Sean said, typing a message as he spoke, managing to both roast his boss and work at the same time.


    Sebastian stopped abruptly, shooting Sean an icy re. "Sean, no one will think you''re mute if you just shut up."


    Sean sighed dramatically. "But sir, I wasplimenting you! I was saying you''re great at rtionships. Why do you always say you''re not?"


    Sebastian was getting annoyed. He gave him another cold look. "And I''ve told you to stop arguing about everything. You do it constantly, yet you im you''re not a contrarian?"


    Sean just smiled sheepishly and scratched his head. “Sir, I just couldn''t stand watching you throw away a diamond for a piece of ss, only to end up looking like aplete fool..."


    "Get out!" Sebastian snapped.


    He already knew he''d mistaken the person who saved him. It had always been Natalie.


    Not Joanna. Realizing his mistake, he was already trying to change.


    Sean grinned at his back, then followed him into the elevator. “Sir, it might be toote to start caring about Mrs. Hall now. Luna told me she might be nning to leave the country for good."


    Sebastian froze. He thought about Natalie''s attitude recently, the disgust in her eyes. It was the same look he used to give her. He never imagined it would feel this painful.


    "Are you and Luna close?" His voice was low and heavy.


    Sean smiled, a little sheepishly. "Well, boss, I guess I''ve got a crush on Luna."


    Sebastian understood. He was trying to win her over.


    After a moment, Sebastian said, “I''ll give you a raise this month. Work hard and win her over."


    Sean was stunned. Was this for real?


    Heck yeah, it was for real! Getting a raise for falling in love? Little Luna was his lucky star.


    Sean quickly sent Luna a text.


    [Little Luna, thank you!]


    Luna: [That''s random.]


    Sean just chuckled foolishly. Of course it was random.


    He thought it was pretty random to get a raise, too.


    Soon, Sean

    Sebastian asked, "Why are they staying at a hotel?”


    Sean shook his head. "I don''t know."


    Sebastian said, "Have the bodyguards keep an eye on them." "Yes, sir."


    How strange. Sebastian was getting more and more invested in Natalie.


    This was a good thing. From his perspective as a bystander, Natalie was a wonderful person.


    "Sir, there''s one thing I don''t get.


    Why did Mrs. Hall just let Joanna off the hook? She disappeared for three days to have a procedure on that

    she was really pregnant.


    Why didn''t Mrs. Hall expose ber?


    Instead, she let her get all this good

    He had just seen on his phone that Joanna was trending again, her fame growing by the day.


    Sebastian''s expression was calm, but his tone was frigid. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."


    Sean was speechless.
