Chapter 1757


    However, Sebastian pretended to be oblivious.


    After the meeting ended, he personally ledn back to Solomon''s office and entrusted him to Luke.


    Sebastian replied, "Okay, but there''s no need to go out of the way for him.


    He''s here to learn and gain experience, so proceed ording to the usual policies as you would for


    any other employee"


    Hence,n officially joined Hayes Corporation that day.


    And as expected from his first day of work in a professional setting, he was clearly not used to it.


    Based on Luke''s feedback Sebastian received after returning home from work,n had spent the entire


    day at the operations department without taking the initiative to speak to anyone.


    He merely did as he was told and gave a brief reply when spoken to.


    Sasha''s heart was filled with distress when she heard about it, and she asked worriedly, "What are we


    going to do about it?"


    On the contrary, Sebastian did not seem perturbed by the news.He sat at his desk and looked through


    some reports Luke had sent him while saying reassuringly, "You don''t have to be so worried.He just


    returned from the base, so, naturally, it''d take some time for him to get limatized to working in such


    an environment.He''ll get used to it after a while."


    "But if he doesn''t get along with the others in the office, won''t it make him even more averse to such an


    environment?"


    Sasha responded, voicing her concerns.


    However, she fails to realize thatn is no longer the little boy she wanted to protect back then.


    At that time, he was young and needed his mother''s protection to shield him.But now,n is about to


    turn eighteen next year.He''s all grown up.


    Hence, he''s practically an adult and must learn to be independent.


    As parents, we won''t always be there to protect him.


    Besides, a little hardship would be beneficial in his current situation.


    With that thought in mind, Sebastian paid no heed ton.


    As for thetter, he was just as headstrong as Sebastian.


    Despite the grueling day he had had at work,n did not utter a single word ofint to Sebastian


    when he returned home that night.


    Three dayster, the fifteenth of the month had passed, and it was time for Sebastian''s university


    enrollment.


    Luke went to Caleb Somer, the director of Hayes Corporation''s operational department.


    "Mr.Somer, Mrn will be leaving soon, so please make the arrangements for his subsequent work


    schedule."


    "Very well" Caleb answered.


    He quickly instructed his secretary to draw up a work schedule and gave it ton.He also assigned an


    extremely capable manager from the operational department to be responsible for working closely with


    lan.


    "Remember to stay in touch while you''re at the university, Mrn.Once you''re there, I''ll assign you your


    first project."


    "Okay,"


    As reticent as he was, his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Susan and Timothy.


    "Aunt Susan..." he greeted.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ah, you''ve finally arrived.We''ve already been here for two days.Let''s go and get you registered, shall


    we?" said Susan, delighted to see him.


    After instructing Timothy to help carryn’s suitcase, she took them to the university.


    Surprisingly,n asked them a few questions about the university on their journey there.


    Timothy piped up, "Don''t worry.Your faculty isn''t that far from mine.I''ll be able to look for you often, and


    we can hang out together"


    "That''s right.Your father also called me earlier.You won''t be staying in the dormitory.I''ve already found a


    ce off-campus, and both of you will be living there together.Since it''s not too far from campus, you


    can ride your bicycles to ss” Susan added.


    "Sounds good”n replied.


    The uneasiness that had been in his eyes finally faded when he heard that, and he could not conceal


    the look of happiness that spread across his face as he agreed to her arrangement.


    Not many knew that one with a quiet and reserved personality was even more eager for love and


    warmth from the people around them as it offered them a sense of security.


    However, Sebastian had already considered that in his arrangements forn.


    Everyone in the room turned towardn when he appeared in the doorway with his backpack slung


    over his shoulder.


    He looked like a dashing young man who had just stepped out of a fairytale.


    His handsome face was so perfect that it was simply breathtaking, and due to his reserved nature,


    there was a brooding air about him.


    Like a dark and mysterious forest, he made one feel curious yet fearful to know whaty beneath his


    imprable facade.


    As soon as he appeared, everyone in the lecture hall fell silent for a few seconds.


    Fortunately, the lecturer happened to walk into the room just then.


    Noticing the other students staring atn, he quickly said, "Everyone, allow me to introduce your new


    coursemate.His name isn Hayes.Please give him a warm round of apuse to wee him."


    As loud apuse filled the lecture hall,n tensed up even more and stared at the other students stiffly.


    Suddenly, a clear and enthusiastic-sounding female voice rang out, invitingn to sit with her.


    "Since you''re new, why don''t you sit next to me? There''s an empty seat here."


    <pn turned to look in the direction of the voice…
