Chapter 33

Something about Sebastian’s words stirred a strange feeling in Abigail’s chest. Still, she replied, “No, Funderstand. The company has its chin males and protocols.”

She wanted to act like everyone else, but she didn’t have that kind of confidence. She was already beyond grateful that Halden Group offered her it jobs No matter how unfairly she was treated, she had no choice but to endure it

Back in prison, when she was beaten, she had once tried to fight back. But later the learned that in the face of an absolute system, personal resistance was painfully small. And the price of even a single act of rebellion was devastating.

They stopped in front of a fast food store. Abigail glanced at her phone and saw it had the best reviews. She turned to Sebastian and suggested, “Let’s go

with this one.”

Sebastian responded with a simple hum, and the two of them stepped inside.

Sebastian wore a mask, but it didn’t attract any attention. Alter all, cosplay had become common among young people. The store owners had been used

to it.

Abigail kept eating, while Sebastian, whose tolerance for strong flavors was clearly low, barely ate, Aher a few bites in, the chili sauce had him coughing softly, and his ears turned red.

Abigail noticed his lips, reddened by the spice, and couldn’t help but smile.

She thought, ‘His lips have a flawless shape. Now, glowing crimson, they made him unexpectedly look appeliaing

She bit into a price of roast lamb, her face lit with an easy smile. “You can’t handle spicy food, huh?”

Sebastian covered his lips with one hand and gave a small cough. “Yeah, it’s a bit spicy for me,”

“Drink something” Abigail slid one of her drinks over to him:

Too much soda wasn’t good for health, but Abigail liked it anyway. Whenever she felt upset, a sip would always help her feel better.

Sebastian took it, then, with practiced precision, wiped the can clean with a handkerchief he’d brought with him. Only after that did he pull the tab and

take a sip.

it was sweet, and the burst of carbonation on his tongue wasn’t band. But he didn’t really like it. Still, watching Abigail alternate between bites of fried chicken and sips of soda, looking so thoroughly content, he couldn’t help but take another sip himself.

To Sebastian, her world seemed so simple. A meal that cost less than a few docen bucks and a one–dollar soda were all it took to light up her face with

genuine joy.

It was the first time since they’d met that he saw her look so relaxed.

After eating, they returned to the hotel Abigail was beyond sleepy by then, but before heading into her room, she stopped at the door of Room 338 where Sebastian stood and said, “I won’t let you down tomorrow.”

Sebastian didn’t respond directly. Instead, he said, “Good night.”

Abigail scratched her head, thinking, “Yeah, it’s so late already. Talking about work now might just cause insomnia

The next morning. Abigail arrived at Halden Group headquarters with Sebastian.

She was just about to look for Dutton when Sebastian spöke first, instructing Jackson at his side, “Have Dution bring me everythin Firewall so far. Also, send a laptop to my office.”

it’s better I work with Dutton’s team,” Abigail offered, her expression serious as she pushed distracting thoughts away Sebastian sat down, eyes peering at her through the mask’s hollow cutouts. “He left you hanging all afternoon yesterday. You’re sure that’s what you want?”
