âYou do have a friend by the name of Lily, donât you?â Sebastian smiled, knowing that he had a hold over Yvonne.
Yvonne swallowed hard. She straightened her body, and said seriously, âNo, I donât.â
He arched a brow, and was about to put his card away when she grabbed his wrist.
âBut I can make her up
She stretched her hands out, and carefully pulled his black card from his fingers. She wrapped her arms tightly around it, for fear that her brother would snatch it back.
Then, she blew him a flying kiss.
âSee you, Seb! Iâll be off to find you a Lily!â
In the middle of the night, Rosalie felt thirsty and got out of bed for a cup of water.
She felt restless and irritable, with many things on her mind. The matter regarding Sebastian bothered her the most. She couldnât tell him about it, and had to settle the matter behind his back
This whole thing concerned his father, after all.
Rosalie chuckled helplessly over the irony of the situation.
What an outrageous situation she was facing right now-a father, using his son to threaten an outsider!
She had to admit, Geoffrey was sharp-eyed enough to pinpoint her weak spot right from their first meeting.
Rosalie returned to her bed, her head heavy as she rested it on both her hands. She stared at the ceiling in a daze.
After a while, she sat up on the bed, grabbed her phone, and sent Sebastian a text.
[Seb, are you still awake?]
Sebastian replied within seconds. [Not yet. Whatâs the matter? Did something happen?]
Rosalie could sense his worry for her just through his text. She replied immediately, [Iâm fine. I just wanted to ask if you are.
[Iâm fine. Just got home from work.]
Rosalie glanced at the clock, and realized that it was already eleven forty-almost midnight.
[Were you busy all the way till now? Itâs already so late!] she texted.
[Yeah, there was a lot of work today. I just took a shower and was in bed when you texted,] he replied.
[Go and rest. I wonât disturb you anymore.]
[Itâs fine, I donât feel tired now. Just tell me if thereâs something up.]
[Nothing much, just wanted to check in on you. I didnât even realize it was so late. Go to sleep.]
[Iâm very happy to receive your text. I can sleep well tonight.]
[So exaggerated? Oh, yes. Did you manage to ask Lily out?]
[I did. Weâll have dinner tomorrow night. Iâll go fetch you.]
[Donât do that. You should be fetching Lily instead.]
[Yvonne will fetch her.]
[Oh, but you should be the one fetching her! Donât worry about me, I can make my way there myself. Also, Iâll just be there for a few minutes. Iâll find a way to draw Vonnie away so you and Lily can have some time alone. Donât worry, Vonnie and I wonât be a third wheel. Weâre just there to make things less awkward and ease the tension. After we leave, youâll be on your own.]
Sebastian looked at Rosalie being so thoughtful in trying to set him up with someone else, and smiled bitterly.
He replied patiently, [Thank you. Weâll see when tomorrow comes round.]
[Okay, weâll play it by ear. I look forward to meeting the lady you fancy. Iâm sure sheâs very special, Rosalie texted back.
