Chapter 129
Abigail didn’t exactly consider that a compliment. After a moment of silence, she said calmly, “So you’d break up with me privately inconti
Sebastian actually laughed out loud. “What kind of logic is that? You’re already assuming I’m going to dump you?
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Abigail paused, then continued, “It’s not that I can’t handle dating someone who’s had girlfriends before. I just get the festiren you’ve probably had a lot of them.”
“So because you saw me give someone a bag on the street, you’ve decided I’m some kind of player?” Sebastian leaned back in his chair and tilted his head toward her.
It wasn’t just that incident, though. Every time Abigail had seen him since then, he’d struck her as the type who knew his way around relationships,
“That’s not the only reason,” Abigail said quietly.
Sebastian leaned forward. “Then what is it?”
“I just think you have way too many options, and I’m definitely not one of them.”
Abigail didn’t think she was lacking, but she’d spent three years in prison and had a criminal record. She didn’t know much about Sebastian’s family background, but she could tell he came from money. That was the reason why.
But then again, Abigail knew she was probably overthinking this. Maybe he just had a mild interest in her, nothing serious enough for marriage. Guys like him, the player types, would date all kinds of women. The sultry seductress type, the innocent sweet girl type–basically anyone who caught their fancy.
“You think I want to be with you on a whim?” Sebastian’s voice turned serious.
“Isn’t that what it is?” Abigail asked, genuinely surprised.
“So that one time I bought someone a purse on the street, and now you’ve got me all figured out?” Sebastian sighed. ‘Just that one incident, and it left such a lasting impression on her?‘ he thought.
“It’s not just that one time. But since my meeting summary was fine, I should head back now.” Abigail didn’t want to get stuck on this topic. She’d come here for work in the first place. But somehow, they suddenly started talking about feelings and relationships.
Abigail stood up to leave.
Sebastian reached out and caught her wrist. “I already made dinner reservations. Stay and have lunch with me.”
“I should probably get going. Everyone at the company is swamped with this shared database project, and I don’t want to just hang around here relaxing.” Abigail pulled her hand back and quickly turned to leave.
Sebastian didn’t try to stop her.
“Come on, that’s not true at all. You don’t have to actually work. Seb would cover for you and say you were busy. Just come back, okay? We got

Abigal hung up the phone. Maybe asking for the meeting summary was just an excuse, she thought. ‘Maybe today was really about how wond confess his feelings?
