Chapter 291
“Bribe?” Sebastian sneered. “So, what did you guys do about it?”
He was met with silence once again,
Bam!
Sebastian slammed the table, and stood up. “Firing all of you
wouldn’t be able to compensate for the losses we’ve incurred this time!”
Rosalie and Yvonne stood a short distance from the office. They heard a loud sound from inside, accompanied by the shouts of a man.
They stopped in their tracks, and stood there in a daze.
“Ladies, Mr. Carter is occupied at the moment. Why don’t you two
take a seat? We’ll get you some coffee and snacks.”
“No,” Yvonne said with a wave of her hand. “Go ahead and be busy. Don’t worry about us.‘
The secretary smiled and bowed, not daring to offend Yvonne.” Alright, Ms. Carter. Please let me know if you need any help.”
After the secretary left, Yvonne held Rosalie’s arm and walked further
in.
Rosalie heard the yelling in the office, and her heart raced. It was clearly Sebastian’s voice, though she had never heard him so angry. before.
Even when Sebastian fought with Theodore, he had never lost control of himself this way. As it turned out, he could be frightening if he
wanted to.
“Yvonne, what’s wrong with Sebastian? He’s so angry.‘
She knew everyone had a temper, and Sebastian was no exception to
that rule.
However, she never expected to see this side of him. It formed such a stark contrast with his usual good–mannered and gallant image.
Despite knowing that no one was perfect, she couldn’t help but feel shocked at hearing Sebastian shouting like this.
Seeing Rosalie furrowing her brows, Yvonne whispered into her ear, What’s the matter? Are you frightened by Seb?”
Rosalie shot her a smile. “I just think something must have made him furious. From the way he yells, he’s probably physically fine.”
As it turned out, his body wasn’t the one in a bad state. She had been worried over nothing!
How laughable of her to take her nightmare so seriously!
Since it was a work–related issue that Sebastian was facing, Rosalie was confident that he had what it took to settle it. There was nothing for her to be worried about.
“Yvonne, since your brother is fine, and I’m sure he’s more than
capable of dealing with work matters, I’ll be off first.”
She could now rest easy knowing that Sebastian was fine.
Rosalie turned to leave, but Yvonne held her back. “What’s the rush? Since you’re here, say hi to Sebastian before going.”
“Well… I’m sure there’s no need for that,” Rosalie said with a smile. He sounds very busy right now. Asking to meet him will just be a waste of his time. I should go.”
“Don’t,” Yvonne said in a panic. “If Seb found out that you just left like this, he’d definitely blame me for not stopping you. I’m sure he’ll want
to see you.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Rosalie said, shaking her head.
Sebastian was blowing his top right now. He might get even angrier if she interrupted him.
Yvonne held Rosalie’s arm, and forcefully pulled her to the door of Sebastian’s office.
“I’m not going in, I’m not going in,” Rosalie repeated as she shook her head. “Yvonne, I’m not going in. Your brother will get angry, even more so than he already is right now!”
“It’ll be fine,” Yvonne said dismissively.
“But he’ll get furious once he sees me. I don’t want to get scolded by him.”
Rosalie looked like a student who forgot to do her homework, and was caught by a fellow student who was dragging her to see the
teacher.
However, Yvonne was a lot stronger than Rosalie. After a few seconds, they arrived in front of Sebastian’s office.
Yvonne raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
