Faint as the smile was, it was sufficient to warm the hearts of all employees in the entire Ford Group, especially the women.
"Hey, did you guys see the post on the official Ford Group social media accounts?"
"It's impossible not to notice it with all the chaos it stormed up! There hasn't been a new post for the past three years and the first post in such a long time turns out to be a photo of our self-restraining Director, who was never seen with a woman, with his wife. Aw, so sweet. The Director has shown me that when an unromantic chaste man starts showing his affection, all those men who drool over women everyday really cannot begin to compare."
"I suddenly realize how much I love the Director!”
"What do you mean 'suddenly'? Haven't you always been into the Director?"
"Back then it was just a faint feeling, but right now I feel like I'm falling head over heels for him! I never knew the Director was capable of spoiling someone and now that I do, I...Oh, if only I get to sleep with him.
" One of the more mature women commented boldly. 1
"As if that's even possible, you Emophilia! Mrs.
Director is going to tear you to shreds if she hears you!" "Don't you want to sleep with the Director?"
"I...It's not that I don't want to, but it's more like a fantasy. I didn't dare to speak it out loud before, not to mention saying it now after finding out that the Director is married! I'm happy just to see his face every day at work."
"Well, it's the same for everyone."
"Shh! The Director is coming!"
The gossiping flock was silenced in an instant. Not a single employee in the Ford Group would dare to say that they were not afraid of Sebastian. It wasn't only for the known fact that he had taken the lives of many, but also because his impression to most in the office was an emotionless work machine as though nothing could affect him, and an extremely composed man could sometimes be more fearful than a man with a poker-face.
"Me too, I wouldn't dare to be jealous, though."
"Me three!"
"Me four!"
Just as the women in the office were discussing how much they admired Mrs. Director, Sebastian was already on the way to the architectural design firm Sabrina worked for to pick her up.
Sabrina had been as busy as a bee that afternoon, trying to organize the workload she had missed for the past few days in her absence. She was happy that she was finally left alone to focus on her job. Sabrina was a woman with dedication and a sense of responsibility to whatever task she was trusted with, after all. Before she could register how much time had passed, it was already time for her to head home. She gathered her belongings and walked out of the building with Yvonne and Ruth. The three were chatting cheerfully with one another when Sabrina noticed the man leaning over by the car casually outside the entrance as soon as she stepped out the gate. 1
"Done with work?" Sebastian drawled with a deep voice.
