019 Mr. Grumpy

Scarlett’s POV

“Will you lower your voice?!” Sebastian grunts at the knucklehead.

When you are rich enough, you automatically become a celebrity. Celebrities like Sebastian, their marital status can make a huge impact on their business if it got out the wrong way. I did think about this, and I thought it wouldn’t be a problem, but I shouldn’t have told Adrian, not before Sebastian made the official announcement.

Going to leave, but I stop and add to him: “Sorry I announced it before you could make it official. But you are on a clock now. So you might want to give your lawyer some homework for the night.”

Adrian his nemesis, and Gabriel the knucklehead? They just might be the worst two people to know a secret Sebastian doesn’t want out.

I don’t know if he was delaying out of distrust of the detailed clauses, or he just didn’t take it seriously. It can feel surreal to him, exactly because it has been something he has been longing for. Just like the baby’s news that I have been hiding behind the back of my head. I understand, but I don’t want to talk about it with him again.

So I just pushed it forward on my own terms. It will sink in once it’s done.

Sebastian glares at me, not answering. He does that. Whenever I did something that upset him, he would put up his angry face and make me think until I could figure out what I did wrong myself. I would guess, I would ask, I would go through things that I had done one by one, so I could stop him from giving me that hateful look.
