Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 78 You’re Coming

Back To Me

As Hadley walked down Mayfield Road, she immediately noticed the distinct black Bentley parked at the curb.

Such a vehicle was a rare sight in this neighborhood and quite unmistakable.

Equally hard to overlook was Sebastian, casually leaning against the car, apparently waiting for her.

He truly had been waiting.

“Miss Hadley!” he called out, waving as she drew nearer.

“Sebastian,” Hadley replied with a puzzled frown as she walked over. “What brings you here? Did Nyla send you?”

“No, not at all.”

Sebastian cast an uncomfortable look toward the car, his expression almost regretful.

Just then, the car window slid down, revealing a man with a sharp, distinctly cold demeanor. Eric fixed his gaze on her, his voice chilling. “Get in.”

Hadley, reacting quickly, clutched at Sebastian’s sleeve. “Sebastian, I believe he’s speaking to you.” Sebastian chuckled, though it was tinged with resignation. “Believe me, that’s surely not for me.”

It was quite obvious who Eric was waiting for here in the dead of night.

Silence fell over Hadley.

It was clear then; Eric meant her.

With a mix of reluctance and resolve, Hadley opened the car door and settled into the backseat.

She sat upright, placing her hands carefully in her lap, and took a deep breath.

“Where have you been?” Eric asked, glancing at his watch in an exaggerated fashion. “You finished your performance at eleven. It’s now after midnight. Where have you been?”

It seemed he was already aware of her whereabouts, and he just wanted to hear it from her.

Facing him, Hadley calmly responded, “You know the answer, don’t you?”

“I need to hear it from you,” he said, his tone cutting through the silence like a sharp knife. Without warning, his hand reached out, gripping her chin to turn her face toward him.

He closed the distance between them, his flawless features looming just inches away.
