The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 79

“You’re heading back to Ratcliff Global tomorrow. No need to come to BlackOak anymore.”

Sofia blinked, completely caught off guard.

Sebastian was really handing over The Vault’s core system to Reese?

“I’ve got an interview to get to. I’m leaving.” Sebastian didn’t spare her another glance. He just turned and strode toward the elevator, his movements sharp, focused. As he pressed the call button, he glanced at his watch. There was this restless energy in his eyes, like he couldn’t wait a second longer.

After all these years looking for her, he’d finally found her.

Sofia stared at his back as he walked away, her heart burning with frustration. She’d asked Sebastian to come to BlackOak because her phone had picked up a warning—the firewall at The Vault had been breached. When Lyla told her it was Reese behind it, she’d hoped Sebastian would show up, scold Reese, maybe even start an argument. That would have been perfect.

But then Annie showed up out of nowhere and ruined everything. And just when Sofia thought Sebastian was going to blame her for the mess, he’d just brushed it all aside and told her to go back to Ratcliff Global.

Wasn’t that basically erasing her from the Blade project altogether?

She’d fought so hard for this spot. But even if she was angry and upset, Sofia didn’t have the guts to argue with Sebastian. She just had to swallow it all down and pretend she was fine.

She managed a tight, forced smile at Reese. “Ms. Meyer, since Mr. Ratcliff said so, I’ll leave things in your hands.”

“Sorry for the trouble. I should’ve kept a closer eye on the team chat.”

She spun around and left. As she walked past Annie, she shot her a glare sharp enough to cut glass.

If that annoying girl hadn’t meddled, none of this would’ve happened.

Just wait. One day, Annie would learn—sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong always comes back to bite you.

Inside the elevator, Sofia’s mind wouldn’t stop whirling. Something just didn’t add up.

Brady had told her earlier that Sebastian only had a joint interview scheduled today, with the China head of a big international AI company, Big X. It wasn’t even a one-on-one; Sebastian never bothered with things like that. But not only did he agree to go, he’d left in such a hurry.

Did he know this executive personally? Was she really that important?
