Chapter 114

Daring dinner, Stephanie had barely finished her first bowl when Sebastian signaled for the staff to take her plate away.

She looked at him, full of grievance. “Sebastian…”

Her big, pleading eyes were practically begging for merey.

Sebastian raised a brow. “Funny, you riever eat this obediently in the morning.”

It was true. She had terrible eating habits–barely touching breakfast, eating decently at lunch, but come nighttime, her appetite would suddenly skyrocket.

Pouting, she slumped in her chair. Sebastian, however, just looked at her indulgently before standing up and taking her hand.

“Come on, let’s go for a walk.”

Stephanie sighed dramatically. “Fine…”

She still wanted to eat more, but it wasn’t her fault–she always got hungrier at night.

Just as they reached the door, Elliot approached, his expression serious.

Sebastian let go of Stephanie’s hand. “I’ll check out the back.”

“Something there?”

“Yeah, something fun.”

Stephanie narrowed her eyes.

Fun?

The last time someone said that, she got dragged into a fishing trip–fun for Sebastian, maybe, but definitely not for her.

Still, seeing Elliot’s serious expression, she knew something was up. She wisely stepped away, giving them space.

Once Stephanie was out of earshot, Sebastian asked, “Something happening with Fred?”

“Yeah. His butler reached out, wants to meet you.”

“And did you pass along my message?”

“Yes.”

Sebastian smirked. Then I guess the Ashfords are in for a long night.

Elliot nodded. “And the Harts are scrambling, too. They were up all night in a meeting, still haven’t found a way out.”
