After getting in the car, Madelyn was still very restless.

Finished

She could sense it; she must have unintentionally upset Sebastian! Otherwise, no matter how busy he was, he wouldn’t have been so cold.

But where had she gone wrong? Where exactly had the problem occurred? She couldn’t figure it out.

Moreover, even if Sebastian was cold, Malcolm shouldn’t have been equally distant.

Malcolm’s attitude towards her had clearly changed. Even his tone was noticeably distant, giving off an impression that he didn’t want to engage with her.

No, that’s not right. Malcolm must know something!

With this thought, Madelyn moved closer to Malcolm and asked in an oddly serious tone, “Malcolm, be honest with me. Did I do something wrong that upset Sebastian?”

Malcolm thought being just an assistant, he had no right to meddle in the affairs of the CEO.

And so, feigning complete ignorance, he spoke coldly. “You’re overthinking it, Mrs. Lockhart. You haven’t done anything wrong.”

“You’re lying!”

Madelyn immediately retorted, “Do you really take me for a fool? The two of you suddenly become so cold toward me. Something’s obviously wrong!”

“No,” Malcolm continued to deny, “It’s just that Mr. Lockhart has been rather busy.”

“I don’t buy it.”

Madelyn watched Malcolm refusing to speak, and her heart was in a knot.

So, she tried a different approach. “Malcolm, you’re with Sebastian every day, you must know what’s going on. Please, could you just tell me?”

Immediately, Malcolm felt a chill run down his spine.

Isn’t it usually endearing when a woman acts coy? But when Mrs. Lockhart does it, it’s downright terrifying!
