Nicholas had never seen Sebastian like this before. So, he decided to help him.
Sebastian...
Nicholas gritted his teeth. "I'll help you one last time. I'll hire a professional team to teach you how to date someone! When you get back, you have to study seriously!"
He could only hope that there was still a chance for Sebastian to fix things.
Sebastian's throat felt tight. "Okay. Thank you."
…
The next morning, Sebastian knocked on Roxanne's door.
Roxanne opened the door, and Sebastian said to her, "I'll go with you to handle your leave of absence."
She answered, "I'm not going! I'm staying here to study!"
He held a stack of papers in his hand and handed them to her. "Read them."
She immediately felt that something was off, and when she looked at the papers, she was instantly furious. "Sebastian, you're really despicable!"
The contents inside were about her mentor, Alexis, allegedly violating regulations when arranging for her study abroad. But in reality, there were no violations at all.
Alexis was an excellent teacher, and she had a referral spot, which was given to Roxanne. It was reasonable, at least for her.
But that didn't stop Sebastian, a man of means, from twisting the story and tarnishing Alexis' reputation. Alexis was a good teacher, and she didn't deserve to be cyberbullied.
Roxanne kicked him angrily. He didn't dodge. "You need to come back to Valoria with me."
Roxanne was touched by his thoughtfulness. He understood everything, supported her, and encouraged her all the way. He was so warm. She couldn't help but want to get closer to him. She looked at him with burning eyes. "Wait for me..."
In the next instant, a large hand appeared around her waist, gently pulling her into a cold embrace. Sebastian's familiar, chilly scent enveloped her.
His voice rang in her ears. "Are you done? If you're done, let's go."
Roxanne pouted and tried to break free, but he held her tightly. As she struggled, she didn't see the silent confrontation between the two men.
Sebastian's gaze was icy while Zachary's eyes were calm. They confronted each other silently.
Roxanne couldn't break free, so she stopped trying. "I'll leave first."
Zachary watched Roxanne in Sebastian's arms with an unchanging expression. "I'll be heading back to Valoria in a few days. I'll go find you."
