Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Sebastian grinned, "I'm serious, girl."

"Come on, Silver Fox, do us a favor. Please, for the love of God, come out and join us, three lovely ladies, for a meal. Otherwise, we'll shrivel up and die of loneliness."

Sebastian twitched at the corners of his mouth, "You really have a knack for nonsense, don't you? Didn't your teacher ever teach you anything useful?"

"You've got it all wrong, Silver Fox. My teacher only taught me the good stuff. This nonsense you're hearing, it's all natural, baby. You said yourself that I'm pretty good just the way I am, no need to be a copycat." Well, he did say that.

"Where are we eating?"

Truth be told, Sebastian had never been asked out like this before.

Everyone knew he was a tough cookie to crack.

Only Stephanie had managed to get him to step out of his comfort zone and try new things.

"Maddie took Gillian and me to this incredible Western restaurant the last time. The food was absolutely phenomenal, and they even had a dedicated play area for kids. It's a bit on the expensive side since it's a fancy establishment, but since it's our first time treating our teacher, we should go somewhere nice," Stephanie suggested, emphasizing the desire to make the occasion special.

"Sounds good. Just send me the address."

"Alright, Silver Fox, drive over after work. I'll have our driver take us."

"Sure."
