AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

On the way to university, Roxane listened to Christine tell the whole story. Instead of agreeing with Christine, she hesitantly said:

-Is this really appropriate? Mr. Seb is responsible for the company and we don’t know anything about the company. It seems unreasonable and arbitrary to ask him to pull strings for someone at work.

Christine became anxious upon hearing these words. She said :

-Why are you on my brother’s side? He doesn’t understand Raoul, but you know what Raoul looks like, don’t you? He has a good personality and he works hard. He’s really good.

Roxane frowned and asked skeptically:

– If he is so good, why did he ask you to speak to Mr. Seb? Isn’t he just trying to use his connections?

‘Shouldn’t a capable person disdain to go through the back door?’

Christine pursed her lips and said:

– He doesn’t know about that. I spoke to brother on my own initiative. I just don’t want him to be suppressed by others when he enters the company. Don’t you know that the bigger the company, the more intense the competition? It is very difficult for beginners to stand out.

– If he doesn’t play well, he certainly won’t have time to fall in love…

After discovering that Christine was secretly doing this behind Raoul’s back, Roxane said:

– Christine, he doesn’t even know that you’re doing this for him. What if he doesn’t date you in the future?

– Impossible!

She confidently declared:

– We will definitely be together! Once I graduate, I will also join the company. Then we can be together every day.

Christine’s almond-shaped eyes were brimming with anticipation. It was as if she could already see how happy she and Raoul would be in the future.

Roxane saw the anticipation in Christine’s eyes. Currently, she was just a young girl immersed in love, losing all reason. She couldn’t bear to shatter Christine’s dreams, so she said:

– I will speak to Mr. Seb, but I cannot guarantee anything.

– THANKS!

She said happily as she squeezed Roxane’s arm and kissed her cheek,

– I knew you were the best! As long as you talk to brother, I believe he will agree!

-…

– You really trust me…

…

As Roxane still had exams tomorrow, there were no classes in the afternoon. Therefore, she came home early. Thinking of Christine’s request, she specially asked the chef to lend her the kitchen so that she could cook a table full of dishes.

Night has fallen and the stars dot the sky along with the city lights.

Roxane emerged from the kitchen and exclaimed in surprise:

– Mr. Seb hasn’t returned yet?

The butler said:

-He may have been delayed by something. Should I call and ask?

She didn’t want to disturb Sebastien while he was working, so she said:

– No need. I’ll just wait a little longer.

The butler nodded.

Roxane brought her iPad into the living room and started browsing the internet. Time continued to pass, and when she felt her neck hurt, she finally looked up. She glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 8:47 p. m.

“It’s almost nine o’clock, but he hasn’t come home yet…”

At this time, the butler came over and asked with concern:

– Madam, why don’t you eat first? Sir must have been delayed. I’m sure he’ll be back soon.

She was so hungry that she lost her appetite. Therefore, she said:

– Forget that. I’m going up to take a shower. When Mr. Seb returns, you…

Before she could finish speaking, she heard the sound of a car engine outside.

– It’s him!

She got up and ran towards the entrance.

– Mr. Seb…

As soon as Sebastian got out of the car, a slender figure ran towards him. Before he could get a better look, the figure had already rushed into his arms. Then, a familiar scent wafted into his nose.

– Mr. Seb, why did you come home so late? I waited for you all night, said Roxane. His soft voice carried a hint of complaint and grievance.

After Sebastian left in the morning, the unpleasantness in his heart had already dissipated. He smiled and asked:

– Did you wait for me all night?Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Before she could answer, the butler said with a smile:

– Not only did Madame wait all night, but she also prepared a table full of delicious food.

Sebastien raised an eyebrow.

– Really? You are busy with your exams. How come you have time to cook for me?

She hesitated for a moment. She did not mention Christine and Raoul immediately. Instead she said:

– I also finished my revision for tomorrow’s exams so I can relax tonight.

Sebastian was smart so how could he not see through his intentions? He only smiled slightly and did not respond. He took her hand and entered the house.
