Sebastian quickly recovered, but Madelyn had several buttons on her blouse loosened by him, and her face was flushed with a deep red.

Seeing her like this, Sebastian softly said, “Straighten your clothes, then focus on your book.”

After he finished speaking, he took a moment to regulate his breathing. He adjusted his tie, took a deep breath, and finally regained his composure.
