Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Once Valeria had finished drying her hands, she took her lipstick from her pocket and began touching up her makeup.

After she left the restroom and took a few steps forward, she soon came to a halt.

The restroom was located at the end of a hallway. There was also an open window and a simple smoking zone located next to it.

Sebastian was wearing a light gray shirt. As he leaned against the window, a small breeze slipped in. With a cigarette between his fingers, he took a drag before dropping his arm lazily

to the side.

He had rolled his sleeves up to his elbow, and the veins on the back of his hand had extended

up to his arm.

Valeria subconsciously turned to look at him.

Sebastian’s gaze was flat, and his eyes were dark as he looked away from his phone. When their eyes met, he gave her a nod.

She had returned the gesture before lowering her head and walking past him without another

word.

Even though she had not interacted with Sebastian, the distance between them felt deliberate.

Moments after Valeria had left, a woman came out of the bathroom and shouted at Valeria’s retreating figure. “Hello, you’ve dropped your lipstick.”

However, Valeria hadn’t heard her.

Valeria had just sat back in her seat when Queenie gave her a knowing look.

Taking out her phone, Valeria quickly realized that their group chat, consisting of her, Queenie, Lindsey, and Yvonne Brown, was filled with unread messages.

“I secretly took a photo of Ms. Lawson’s boyfriend. How can he still look so handsome despite the terrible angle?”

“Ms. Lawson’s usually all cold and bossy in the office, but when she’s with her boyfriend, she

acts all soft and sweet.”

“But don’t you think Ms. Lawson’s boyfriend seems to be acting kind of cold toward her?”

“You’re right.”

“However, I heard that their parents were the ones who had arranged the match. Does this mean we’ll be getting wedding invitations soon?”

Everyone began to tag Lindsey in the group. Lindsey was Sabrina’s assistant after all, so she probably received more information regarding the manner.

Lindsey replied, “I haven’t heard anything. Maybe they’re just trying to keep a low profile.”

“You’re right. All those wealthy families prefer to keep a low profile.”

“Did you get them mixed up? All those wealthy people love keeping a high profile.”

“How can we possibly know what’s going on in their world?”

Valeria took a bite of her meat, the sauce dripping down. Pursing her lips, she took out a napkin to wipe her lips.

Back when she was with Sebastian, he always acted cold and aloof toward everyone, even her.

Hence, she behaved cautiously during their relationship.

The only exception was when they slept together. Other than that, the two of them were like familiar strangers.

Valeria couldn’t help but question if he still acted the same when he slept with Sabrina. She knew she should not have such thoughts and tried to keep those thoughts at bay.

However, she was a human, not a machine. She couldn’t shut her thoughts down whenever
