Chapter672FallOut
Oh no! I can’t believe Ipletely forgot my lunch date with Victoria. Judging from Victoria’s seething
tone, Sebastian knew she must be furious.
That was Sebastian’s first time getting into a rtionship. Aside from what he had learned from books
and online about dating, he had no practical experience in that field.
He didn’t know how to coax someone.
In his panic, Sebastian identally knocked over the cup of coffee on the table, sshing it on the
documents and staining the entire tabletop.
“Victoria, I’m sorry, I…” he anxiously exined with the phone held in ce between his ear and
shoulder while frantically attempting to salvage the documents.
However, some files stuck to his pristine white shirt and fell onto the floor, causing the coffee mug at
the edge of the table to tter onto his foot.
“Ah!” Sebastian couldn’t help but let out a suppressed grunt of pain.
Victoria heard Sebastian’s somewhat ambiguous groan through the phone as she stepped into the
elevator. Her imagination ran wild as she flew into a rage.
“Sebastian, who are you with?” Exercising her imagination to its fullest extent, Victoria sobbed
aggrievedly, “Are you seeing another woman? Did you stand me up to go on a date with her?”
Sebastian was torn between amusement and exasperation as he was unjustlybeled as a yboy.
“Don’t overthink. I just identally hurt my foot.”
While he spoke, Victoria had stepped out of the elevator and stormed into the secretarial department.
Taking in Sebastian’s disheveled appearance, she widened her eyes in disbelief and hastened over to
him, examining his condition with an aching heart. “You said you hurt your foot. Is it serious? Let me
send you to the hospital.”
Sebastian replied, “It’s not serious. I just identally knocked over a cup, which hit my foot.”
As if something had suddenly dawned on Victoria, tears welled up in her eyes as she threw herself into
Sebastian’s arms, disregarding whether the coffee stain on his clothes would soil her newly bought
white dress.

“I’m sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t been so unreasonable, you wouldn’t have made such a
blunder,” Victoria said self–reproachfully.
Sebastian replied gently, “It’s not your fault. I am to be med. I shouldn’t have been so engrossed in
work to the extent of forgetting our date. I’m sorry, Victoria,”
The aggrieved feeling in her chest vanished in an instant. She had thought he didn’t care about her
because he had stood her up and that he was with her because she had been the one pursuing him.
persistently.
It turned out she had been too paranoid.
Victoria immediately turned gentle and docile. Looking at the coffee stain on Sebastian’s shirt, she
uttered thoughtfully, “I’m not mad at you anymore. Your shirt is dirty. Why don’t I shopping mall next
door to buy a new one? We can consider this as you spending time apanying me to go shopping.
What do you say?”
Sebastian had spare clothes in his office, but recalling Victoria’s aggrieved and sorrowful demeanor
earlier, he couldn’t bring himself to reject her suggestion.
However, noticing the mess on the table out of the corner of his eyes, he caught himself right before he
was about to agree. “I’m sorry, Victoria. I’m swamped with work these two days. I have another meeting
this afternoon. Now that I’ve ruined the documents needed for the meeting, I need to redo them as
soon as possible.”
The smile on Victoria’s face froze. She red at Sebastian resentfully and picked up the folders on the
desk to hit him angrily.
“Sebastian, why don’t you spend the rest of your life with your work!” Upset and enraged, she turned
around and left.
Sebastian stood rooted in his spot. He stared at Victoria’s retreating figure in bafflement, shocked by
how quickly she had fallen out with him. Just moments ago, everything was fine. Why did she flip out all
of a sudden?
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go after her.” Hearing themotion in the secretarial
department, Christina came out just in time to see Victoria running out of the room.
She didn’t need to ask to know that Victoria and Sebastian were having an argument.
“Sebastian, if you can’t make it up to Victoria, you don’t have toe back here either.”
Sebastian swiftly picked up his phone and coat and hastily gave chase.
Christina turned to Nathaniel and said in displeasure, “Sebastian is indeed your best assistant. You two
have the same type of personality, namely being workaholics.”
Being dragged into the mess despite his innocence, Nathaniel defended himself, “I’m not. I’ve
changed.”
He was worried Christina would be angered, so heforted her, “I’ll have the HR department hire two
assistants for Sebastian to reduce his workload so that he has more time to deal with his personal
affairs. What do you think about this arrangement?”
She snorted. “Sebastian is your employee, and you’re the boss of thispany, so I have no right to
interfere in your decisions.”
Nathaniel wrapped his arm around her shoulder, bending down to whisper in her ear, “You are the
company’sdy boss, so your opinion is also mine. There’s no difference.”
As they were in the office, and Christina was a rtively shy person, she wasn’t ustomed to being
intimate with Nathaniel in public. Therefore, she pushed him away.
“We’re in the office. Mind your behavior. Gibson Corporation is just in the office building next door. I’ll
go take a look and not disturb you from doing your work.”
“I’m not busy now. Besides, it’s lunch break. I’ll go with you.” Nathaniel grabbed her hand and pulled
her towed the elevator without waiting for her to respond. “Your fashion studio is still under renovation
but will be open for business in a few days. Are you going to host an opening ceremony?”
Christina, not fond of noisy asions, shook her head. “Let’s skip the hassle. The public opinion about
us hasn’t subsided yet, and if I advertise our studio with great fanfare, it’ll only backfire. We’ll just go
with the flow.”
Nathaniel moved toward the elevator while holding Christina in his embrace. “The arsonist has been
caught. The wrongdoing was Emilia’s fervent fan. She took all the me onto herself, iming she
wasn’t instructed by anyone. The fan mentioned she set the studio on fire because she was dissatisfied
with you targeting Emilia and wanted to take revenge against you in Emilia’s stead.”
Christina didn’t believe Emilia yed no role in the arson incident. After all, using others to do her dirty
work was one of Emilia’s frequently used strategies.
“Emilia incited someone to burn my studio. In turn, I ruined her career. So, we’re even now” Christina
snecred.
Emilia had caused David and Winston to be embarrassed during Wendy’s birthday banquet. Given
Winston’s vindictive nature, Christina figured Emilia’s days ahead would certainly be ridden with
difficulties.
“I heard someone has been trailing you these two days. It’s actually Anya.” Nathaniel and Christina
exited the elevator. “Do you still remember what you told me? About how I have the final say in Anya’s
fate?”
Christina stared at the towering figure before her and spoke in an undertone. “Nathaniel, I don’t wish
her to enjoy a swift death.”
He didn’t respond. Instead, he changed the subject. “Lucas and Cam miss you a lot. I bought a new
manor. Once I finish my work for the uing two days, we can go there for a family vacation to
spend some quality time with our children. What do you say?”
At the mention of Lucas and Cam, Christina felt her heart soften. “Sure.”
Amidst their conversation, sudden shrieks echoed through the crowd.
A car drove onto the sidewalk, dashing straight toward Nathaniel and Christina.
