Sebastian looked at her and smiled. Then, he picked up the remote and turned on the TV. “I just came home after a run, so I took a shower. I didn’t know you’d come back early.”

Natalie often worked overtime and came home late.

“Put on your clothes. Otherwise, I won’t be able to talk to you.” She covered her face with one hand whilst fanning herself with the other.

It was a scorching summer day.

Sebastian chuckled, shaking his head. Then, he picked up a black shirt from the sofa and put it on. “I’m dressed now. What do you want to say?”

Natalie blew out a loud breath and walked to the sofa. She took out the invitation from her bag and sat beside him. “Our company is holding a dinner party next week. Would you be able to join me?” she asked, studying his face.

She would feel safe only if he accompanied her.

Sebastian looked at the invitation and nodded. “Sure. Anyway, I’m free that day.”

Then, his eyes widened as if he remembered something. “Well, let me just grab my jacket, and I’ll take you to buy some clothes.”

Natalie frowned in confusion. “What clothes are you going to buy?”

Sebastian quickly buttoned his shirt. The black shirt clung to his pert muscles and complimented his skin tone. “If we don’t buy clothes, what will you wear to the dinner party?” he asked, arching an eyebrow.

“I have many dresses. I can pick something nice from my wardrobe.” Natalie frowned. “An evening dress is insanely expensive. We don’t have to waste money on that.”

Sebastian rubbed his temples and sighed. “I’ll pay for it. You can wear it for other important occasions in the future.”

“No, no! You have no idea how expensive they are.” Natalie shook her head fiercely. “Don’t buy me clothes. Otherwise, I won’t talk to you.”
