Chapter 38: Is it your birthday today?
Sebastien left the group of people behind and headed towards Roxane as soon as he saw her. When he stood in front of her, he studied her carefully from head to toe with a grim expression on his face before asking:
– How are you ?
She nodded before asking warily:
– Why are you here ? How do you know we are here?
Sebastien did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at Enzo, who was standing nearby, before saying:
– My friend informed me that the child I took from the nightclub was taken away by the police because of a fight.
Roxane finally remembered that the owner of the club was Sebastien’s friend. Thinking he might think she was the one who fought, she pointed at Enzo and explained:
– I didn’t fight. He was my brother.
Enzo approached in a leisurely manner and asked nonchalantly:
-Why did you bring so many people? You even brought the chief legal advisor of the Flores Corporation here…
A man standing behind Sebastian, dressed in a dark blue suit with a pair of rimless glasses resting on the bridge of his nose, nodded slightly.
Sebastian said casually:
-I came to help you.
Enzo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Roxane out of the corner of his eye before asking meaningfully:
– Since when did President Flores become so concerned about his subordinates?
– Help me? Do you think I’m deaf and didn’t hear your words to Roxane earlier?
Sebastien frowned slightly and looked at Enzo without saying a word.
Patrice, who understood his boss very well, stepped forward and immediately explained:
-Mr. Alvarez, you are the head of the technology department of Flores Corporation, after all. If this incident makes headlines, it will negatively affect the business.
Enzo smiled lazily and said:
– Oh.
Roxane could vaguely feel the undercurrent between the two men’s exchange, but she couldn’t figure out what it was.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
At that moment, Jessica moved next to Roxane and pulled her arm. Then, she said enthusiastically in a muffled tone:
– Heavens! You, your husband is so handsome! He is simply like an immortal descended from the heavens! Words cannot describe how beautiful he is.
Previously, Jessica had only seen Sebastien from afar. At that time, she could already tell that he was very handsome. However, now that she saw him up close, she discovered that his appearance was even more shocking than she had imagined.
The corner of Roxane’s lips twitched slightly. She gently pushed Jessica’s hand away and said:
– He’s not my husband. Also, unlike his personality, he is not easy to get along with.
Jessica didn’t seem to have heard Roxane’s words. Her eyes shone as she looked at Sebastian. It was like she was looking at her idol.
Roxane:
-…
“Forget it. She won’t be able to listen to what I say now.”
Sebastian felt uncomfortable being stared at so blatantly by a member of the opposite sex. However, since the other party was Roxane’s friend, he did not show his discomfort or dissatisfaction. He asked Roxane:
-Are you finished here?
She nodded.
– I too am off work. Are we going to go home together? Sebastian asked. Since Enzo was there, he wasn’t sure if Roxane would return to the Moon Pavilion with him.
Roxane did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at Enzo and Jessica.
Jessica came out of the trance she was in. She said :
– You didn’t eat your cake, and your gift is still with me. Are you moving back with your husband now?
Roxane:
-…
– He’s not my husband…
Before Roxane finished speaking, Sebastien interrupted her. His eyes flashed as he asked:
– Today is your birthday?
Jessica responded before Roxane could:
– Today is Roxane’s 20th birthday. I deliberately booked a private room to celebrate his birthday. Alas, the party was ruined by that bastard, Diego Rios.
Sebastian turned to look at the people behind him and said:
“You can all go home now.
Patrice and the others bowed slightly and left without asking questions.
Then, Sebastien turned to look at Roxane as his gaze softened slightly. He said :
– Let’s go back to the club to celebrate your birthday. We’ll go home together later.
