Chapter 258 Secret Scheming

Finished:

One day, after finishing her class, Madelyn was getting ready to go to Sebastian’s office. As soon as Janessa noticed, she quickly grabbed her bag and chased after her, asking, “Madelyn, where are you going?”

Madelyn casually said, “I’m going to see Sebastian. What’s the matter?”

“C–Can I come with you?” Janessa suddenly asked, her ce filled with anticipation as she looked at Madelyn.

“You?” With a slight furrow of her brows, Madelyn wondered what this woman was up to. Is she planning to stir up trouble again? I still haven’t settled the score about the stage light incident!

“Madelyn, don’t get the wrong idea,” Janessa said soothingly when she saw Madelyn’s hesitation. “In reality, I just want to discuss a business deal with Sebastian. This deal is crucial for both our families, which is why I want to go with you.”

Madelyn let out a cold, mocking laugh.

In her previous life, Janessa had asked her to accompany her to negotiate business with Sebastian, but it hadn’t happened this quickly. It seemed that in this life, Janessa was truly impatient as she had approached her so swiftly.

Naturally, Madelyn wouldn’t allow her to have her way, Hence, in an apologetic tone, she said, “I’m truly sorry, but I’m afraid it might not be so convenient. After all, you’re aware that Sebastian’s daily schedule is particularly packed. If you want to meet him, you’ll need to book an appointment in advance.”

“Huh?” Janessa sounded somewhat disappointed. However, after a moment, her eyes suddenly filled with hope as she looked at Madelyn. “You’re going to see him, anyway. Can’t I just tag along with you?”

“That isn’t really appropriate, is it?” Madelyn suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. This woman really has some grand illusions.

With a troubled expression, Madelyn said, “Janessa, you know, my visit to Sebastian is already quite. disruptive to his work. And the matter you want to deal with, I didn’t give him any prior notice. It might not be good to just go there abruptly, so you should make an appointment in advance. I’ll be leaving first. okay?”

After speaking. Madelyn couldn’t be bothered to continue the pointless conversation with her. She turned around and left immediately..

“Madelyn…” Janessa watched her retreating figure from behind, seething with anger to the point of gritting her teeth and stamping her foot. Madelyn is merely avoiding lending a hand and hence, came up with excuses to reject my request! This is so infuriating!

At that moment, Madelyn exhaled in relief as she walked away, thinking to herself how persistent Janessa really was. If she had to deal with her for a bit longer, she didn’t know what excuse she could use to refuse.
