Sebastian's plate doesn't even have a number, but just one letter - Z.

It's unlikely that he could see and spot Ava from that huge window on the second floor, but Ava feels like Sebastian glanced at her coldly when he raised his plate just now. Wronged tears fill Ava's eyes.

Biting her lips, Ava holds her phone to her ear after dialing Sebastian's number. Anger rushing from her waist all the way to her head, shouting at her to demand an answer from the guy who should play her husband without considering possible consequences.
