Chapter 29


    Following her silence, Sebastian Simons left her room and closed the door. Tired, shey on the


    bed and gnashed her teeth, desperate to tear the pillow on the bed into pieces as if it was the


    scumbag himself.


    On what grounds was he iming that she was eloping and flirting? Those were obviously false


    usations. He had better not let her find him having love affairs with other women. Otherwise, he


    will be in trouble.


    All of a sudden, the door opened. Startled, she sat bolt upright in bed and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Sebastian stood at the door and ordered with a poker face, "Write down my number."


    Yasmine Taylor paused for a moment. Then, deliberately embarrassing him, she asked, "Oh, who


    was the one who said it wasn''t necessary to exchange numbers when I asked yesterday?"


    "Stop the nonsense and note it down," he rebuked.


    Sensing Sebastian''s embarrassment, she immediately felt better. "Okay, say it," she instructed.


    "136******"


    "Did you catch that?" he questioned.


    "Got it," she replied.


    "Give me a call," hemanded.


    Yasmine hit the call button, and momentster, Sebastian''s cell phone rang. Satisfied, he turned


    and left without closing the door.


    "He could not even be bothered to close the door after himself. Such bad manners," she muttered.


    She grumbled to herself as she went to close the door. As soon as she reached out her hand, she


    was shocked by Sebastian''s sudden appearance in front of her again. She asked in confusion,


    "What''s the matter?"


    "I forgot to remind you that from now on, you should be home before ten o''clock," he said.


    "What if I don''t?" she queried.


    "Then go wherever you like, but not back to this house," he answered.


    "Is it just me, or does this curfew apply to everyone in this family?" she asked.


    "What do you think?" he threw the question back at her.


    Sebastian raised his eyebrows and looked at her as if she was stating the obvious. He then shifted


    the painting in front of him to block eye contact between the two of them.


    The next morning, Yasmine woke up exceptionally early as she wanted to sneak out of the room


    before Sebastian was up. Unexpectedly, he got up earlier than her and was already packing his


    suitcase.


    She stepped forward in surprise and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing? Are you so mad at me


    that you want to run away from home?" Sebastian looked upzily and asked grumpily, "Don''t you


    think you''ve got more of a sense of humor recently?"


    He did not have to mention it for her to realize that in the past, she had rarely joked with the Taylor


    family. But with this man, who was publicly known to be no different from a monster, she had no fear


    at all. In fact, she found him quite cute as long as he did not lose his temper.


    "All right, jokes aside, where are you going?" she asked more seriously.


    "I''m going on a business trip!" he responded.


    Sebastian closed his suitcase then proceeded to make a phone call. "Are you here yet?" he asked


    briefly.


    "I''ve been waiting for the past hour..." announced the person on the other end of the phone.


    "I''lle down now," Sebastian said.


    He hung up the phone, picked up his suitcase, and headed out the door. Thinking that he should


    say something, he turned around and eximed, "Finally, I''m excused from seeing your annoying


    face for the next few days. What good news!"

    As soon as he turned back around, Yasmine said to herself, "Likewise..."
