Chapter 46

    “What the fck is wrong with you?” I yelled at him.


    He raised his eyebrow as he leaned against his ck swivel chair. “May I remind you that you’re here


    to win my favor? Shouting at your boss isn’t the right way to do that,” he said.


    I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I close my eyes, trying to think of the one reason I needed to


    do this job despite the presence of the demon that I was trying so hard to forget. When I was finally


    even breathing. I slowly opened my eyes, only to find Sebastian looking intently at me as he was about


    to devour me.


    I let out a loud sigh before I uttered my next words. “What do you want?”


    He co cked his head on the side as if assessing how far I was willing to go for this job. To be honest,


    I’m going as far as making a deal with the deal himself just so I can save my


    son


    I feel all the hair on my b*dy raise as I remember my son. Now that our worlds have collided once


    again. I’m not sure how long it will take before he knows about my secret.


    “What are you willing to give?” He returned the question


    “Cakes,” I answered briefly.


    “What?” he asked. It was then followed by a richugh that filled every corner of his office. “Oh, I


    thought we’re talking about something else,” he said with a mischievous smile ying on his lips.


    I bit my tongue, stopping myself from unleashing my smart mouth like I always did. Despite our history.


    I’m already in a position where I’m at his mercy. I need to do this to save my son. Even so, it means


    that I need to endure working with the same man who broke my heart.


    “Yes, Mr. Foster. We’re talking about cakes and dessert, which is the main reason why I am here. Now,


    I believe there’s something about what I prepared that isn’t to your liking. So, please, humble me with


    your knowledge and tell me what you want.” I was quite surprised with myself upon finishing those


    sentences while I was under his scrutinizing eyes.,


    “I think Isabelle overpraises you. There’s nothing special about your cakes. I don’t think I would expect


    anything more from you at this point. You’re dismissed,” he said.


    I feel like my world is copsing right before my eyes. This can’t be happening. He can’t

    do this. I need this. “N-No, no, no. Please don’t do this. I need this job,” I insisted.


    “Then, strip.”


    My jaw fell off the ground upon hearing what he said. “E-Excuse me?” I said, hoping that I just


    misheard him.


    “Did 1 stutter? Or you’re just pretending you didn’t hear what I said?” he asked, raising his eyebrows as


    he smirked, watching my difort.


    “No, you’re right. I hear you perfectly clear.” I walked closer to his table and leaned against him in a


    challenging manner. “I may be desperate, but I guess I’m not desperate enough to sell my dignity to a


    monster like you. Goodbye, Mr. Foster. It wasn’t nice to see you gain. I hope our paths won’t cross


    again.” I said before turning around. As I walked towards the door, I heard his deep, baritone voice


    once again.


    “You’d rather sleep with a man you just met than share a night with your ex-husband for old-time sake?


    That’s totally contradicting someone who’s talking about dignity a while ago,” he insulted.


    “Think whatever you want, but I’m leaving. Goodbye, Mr. Foster, I said before storming out of the room.


    I saw Isabelle’s face covered in confusion as she watched me walk chut of the CEO’s office. My doubts


    that she had something to do with this coincidence flew over the window when I noticed that she didn’t


    have any idea what was going on between me and Sebastian.


    It was so foolish of me to think that Sebastian nned all of these just to trap me back in his cage. But


    then again, I realize he had no reason to do so. He got what he wanted from the beginning-to be in


    Catherine’s arms. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    There haven’t been a lot of people around the hotel since it hasn’t opened to the public. I didn’t notice


    that I had been holding back my breath until I finally reached the elevator. I breathe out a sigh of relief


    once it’s closed, and atst, I’m free from his grasp.


    Once I reached the ground floor, the realization of my situation hit me. My problem about my son’s


    surgery still lingers, and the fact that I haven’t thought of my next step


    my son remains unresolved.

    I was approaching the exit when my phone rang. I took a loud breath upon reading the name that’s


    shing on my screen. “Hey, Ethan. Is everything alright?” I greeted.


    “Everything is fine, ire. How about you? How’s the meeting going?” he inquired.


    I couldn’t answer immediately. Instead, I remained silent for a minute. I was trying to contemte


    whether I should go back and leave this nightmare behind or make it work, regardless of the fact that I


    need to see that evil man’s face every day.


    Chapter 46


    In the end, I decided not to tell Ethan every detail of what happened here. “I’m afraid we didn’t get the


    project,” I informed him.


    “Does that mean we can push through with ze’s surgery?”


    I let out a loud sigh. Tm afraid so. But I’ll try to make my trip worthwhile. I’m not going home until I have


    the money for his surgery.”


    “I believe you would, ire. But please be careful, okay?”


    “I will,” I answered.


    “By the way, I just called because ze wouldn’t take his medicine until he talked to you,” he said.


    “Please, hand over the phone to him.”


    “Sure.”


    “Hi, mom,” ze said with a h o ar se voice. He sounded weaker thest time I saw him.


    “Hi, love. Is everything okay?”


    “When are youing home, mommy? I missed you so much.”


    “I miss you too, love. But I still have a little work to do here. I’lle home once I’m finished. For the


    meantime, please don’t be stubborn and take your medicine.”


    “Yes, mommy.”


    “That’s great. I love you, honey. See you soon.


    “I love you, mom.” After that, he quickly ended the call.


    I can’t help but smile at myself after talking to my son. I put my phone back in my pocket and made my


    way to the exit. But I waspletely taken aback when a manly figure suddenly appeared in front of


    me.


    “Jesus!” I was startled. I frowned when I noticed the dark aura emitting from Sebastian’s b*dy. He was


    ring at me like a hawk to its prey. It looks like he was about to pounce on me at any moment.


    “I’m offering you ten million dors to be my mistress for three months. Here’s my room number and


    key card. Come to me if you change your mind,” he said as he handed me his key card.


    I was about to open my mouth, but he quickly turned his back on me and didn’t wait for my answer. I


    was left alone, standing in the middle of the lobby while staring at the


    key card in my hand.


    “Ten million dors. I murmured to myself. That’s more than enough to


    save my son. Once again, I caught myself in between choosing to do the right thing or doing what’s.


    best for my son


    But regardless of whatever I choose in the end, I’m pretty sure that I will eventually have to lose myself


    in order to do what’s best for my child.
