Chapter 42

Back in the office, Abigail suddenly remembered that she still hadn’t properly thanked Sebastian. She sent him a message, and his reply came quicke Just a thank you?

Abigail was confused, her mind racing. Does he think a simple “thank you” is insinceral That’s fair. He went all the way to Fletcher Group for me. A verbal thank–you might really be too little

She sent a text again: [When are you free, Mr. Robinson Let me treat you to dinner

After sending

ling the message, she set her

e, she set her phone aside and turned her attention to her inbox.

“Abigail? I thought you took the day off?” Timothy walked into the office, visibly surprised to see her

Abigail realized what she had forgalten she forgot to cancel her leave. Only when Timothy asked her did the remember that

“Mr. Newman, I finished my thing, so I came back to work,” she explained:

Timothy said in surprise. “That was fast. No need to take a full day off. You just came in late. We won’t count it as leave”

“Oh, thank you, Mr. Newman,” Abigail said.

Timothy waved her off. “It’s nothing. Just focus on your work” With that, he left the room.

Abigail sat back down and checked her phone again. Sebastian had already responded to her. [Tonight.

Tonight? Treating the big boss to dinner? Obviously, a regular restaurant won’t do, she thought.

In the CEO’s office, Jeremiah nervously finished his report. He glanced at Sebastian and noticed something rare–Sebastian was smiling. It was subtle, but Jeremiah was certain that he was smiling.

“Jeremiah.” Sebastian’s tone carried a rare trace of lightness. “We’re off on time today.”

The sudden call of his name startled Jeremiah. When the words registered, his eyes widened in disbelief. He almost blurted out, “Are you serious, Mr.

Robinson?”

Instead, he responded,

“Yes, M

Mr. Robinson, E’ll inform everyone.”

He sneaked another glance at Sebastian, who was looking down at his phone, his voice now back to neutral. “Mim.”

Relieved, Jeremiah headed out to make the arrangements, barely suppressing his excitement.

“Finally! A normal workday, I’ve been working so much overtime that I’m about to go bald, Jeremiah thought

Aher work, Abigail joined the flow of employees leaving the building. The Uber she called was already waiting and once seated, she messaged Sebastian: I’m on the way. How about you?

It was a soft probe, but his reply came quickly:Just about to leave.)

Reassured, she didn’t send anything more—she didn’t want to seem like she was rushing him.

At the same time, Jeremiah returned to the office with documents and saw Sebastian standing, clearly getting ready to leave.
