Chapter 486

Sebastian had wrestled with his thoughts for a long time before finally mustering the courage to voice what had been weighing on his mind.

As soon as the words left his lips, he fixed his gaze on Citrine, clearly waiting for

her response.

Citrine paused, caught slightly off guard. It took her a moment to recall the man who'd been sitting beside her earlier that day.

She glanced thoughtfully at Sebastian before answering, "Oh, him? He's Mr. Fuller's assistant."

Sebastian frowned. "You two..."

Before he could finish, Citrine cut him off with a light laugh. "Mr. Fuller just sent him over to offer me a drink."

The tension in Sebastian's chest finally eased when he realized there was nothing between them. All the irritation and gloom that had been building up inside him seemed to vanish in an instant.

Suddenly, Citrine remembered the question Sebastian had asked back in the private room earlier that evening. She quickly realized he'd been jealous.

An amused smile tugged at her lips, and she felt the urge to tease him. "So, what did you think was going on between us?"

"I, uh..." Sebastian pressed his lips together, unable to get the words out.
