After Zachary said that, he received Sebastian's cold, murderous gaze. Zachary remained calm, his gentle expression unchanging.
Roxanne noticed the tension between the two and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she tugged on Sebastian's hand. "Let's go. We need to catch the flight."
Sebastian didn't speak. His expression was cold as he wrapped an arm around her waist and led her away. As they left, he cast a dark glance at Zachary and then curved his lips into a smirk.
Zachary wanted to go back to Valoria to find Roxanne? He'd have to see if he could even make it back.
Roxanne and Sebastian walked toward the door.
"Rox!" Behind them, Carolyn's voice called out. She ran up, panting. "I heard you've processed your leave of absence. What's going on?"
Roxanne made a face. She couldn't exactly say she was being threatened by this crazy man, could she? "There's an emergency at home. I need to go back."
"Huh? When will you be back?"
Carolyn thought of Roxanne as a friend. She had just made a new friend, but she was leaving for good? How sad!
Roxanne broke free from Sebastian's embrace and hugged her. "It's okay. We'll have more chances to meet in the future. I can come visit you, and you can come visit me. You won't be staying abroad forever, right?"
Carolyn didn't want to let her go. She hugged Roxanne and whispered, "Is the person next to you... Sebastian?"
Carolyn wasn't from Valoria. She was from Tanton, a neighboring city. Her family was also a top-tier wealthy family in Tanton, with plenty of business connections in Valoria. She had attended a few high-society banquets in the city with her father and had seen Sebastian once or twice.
Plus, Sebastian often appeared on the cover pages of financial magazines. She had a good impression of him. Hence, when she saw Sebastian holding Roxanne, looking intimate like they were a couple, she was completely shocked.
Was it slutty of her?
No, it was her charm!
Roxanne didn't know how to clarify her relationship with Sebastian, so she just shrugged. "It's a little complicated."
Carolyn showed an understanding expression. Who could blame Roxanne for being so free-spirited? She was made this way by the heavens.
It was Sebastian and Zachary who lost their minds when they saw such a beautiful woman. They were obviously driven by lust. What did it have to do with Roxanne being beautiful?
Carolyn said, "Since you won't be here, I don't feel like staying around either. Wait for me. I'll come hang out with you in a few days."
