He was drugged that night, and the lights were switched off when he was trying to force himself onher, so she did not manage to catch a glimpse of his body. Sasha gulped. His damp torso glistenedin the light, accentuating and flattering his shapely muscles. His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke,but she did not hear a thing. She was too busy following the water droplets that trickled down hischin and onto his chest. “Are you done?” Sebastian said sharply. Sasha snapped out of her reverie. Itsuddenly dawned on her how long she had been salivating over him like a slab of meat.She wished the ground would just swallow her up just to spare her the embarrassment. “You were...I just... I didn't mean to... I thought you were done, and I wanted to speak to you.” She spluttered onin an attempt to explain herself, not daring to look up. Her porcelain face had reddened like atomato by then. Oh, come on. You're not that innocent. You're no stranger to flings and one-nightstands. This isn't the first naked body of a man you've seen. As she stood there deliberating withherself, Sebastian slammed the door shut in her face. Sometime later, he emerged fully dressed.“Well? What was it that was so important?” he snapped. Sebastian straightened up and addressedher with a haughty glare. It was as if he had donned his familiar snarky persona along with that suit.His disdain permeated the corridor and suffocated her, robbing her of her confidence. Sasha took adeep breath and gulped. Bracing herself again, she blurted, “I would like to take care of lan if that'sokay with you.” “Take care? What right do you have to do that? You are an unfit mother. You canhave another kid with that adulterer and care for him!” The words were barely out of her mouthbefore she regretted uttering them. His remark stung, but her mind was whirring with somethingelse. Adulterer? Instantly, her face became as white as a sheet. Why did he say that all of a sudden?Was he stalking me? Sasha's embarrassment turned into indignation.She glared at Sebastian. “Mr. Hayes, did you have me followed?” she asked, barely suppressing therage in her voice. “Follow you? Ms. Wand, you overestimate your importance. I do not need to dothat. I know everything that goes on around here.” he sneered at her, looking as evil as the Devilhimself. Sasha was stumped. This was his territory, so of course he had eyes everywhere. But why didhe specifically mention the word “adulterer”? He is just a friend! “Yes, I went out last night with afriend,” Sasha retorted defiantly. “But Mr. Hayes, watch your choice of words. He is most definitelynot an adulterer.” Sebastian was undeterred. “My choice of words? Tell me, Sasha Wand, have youever heard of a decent woman going out at that hour with a man and not have any agenda?” Sashareached her tipping point. “If I'm an indecent woman, what does that make you?Remember when you brought your b*tch and paraded her in front of me when I was pregnant?What does that make the two of you? A scumbag and a wench, that's what the two of you are!” Thistime, she had gone too far. Sasha watched in slow motion as Sebastian raised his hand to strike her,his face contorted with rage, but she was too petrified to move. “Mr. Hayes, what do you thinkyou're doing?” Luke, who appeared just in time, yelled. With one stride, he stood between Sashaand Sebastian, who was looking deranged and quite ready to beat her. This woman is asking to bekilled! Luke restrained Sebastian with some difficulty. “Mr. Hayes, calm down. She only spoke out ofturn. I'm sure she didn't mean what she said.”Then, he turned to Sasha. “Ms. Wand, you owe Mr. Hayes an apology. Did you know that he waitedup for you?” Sasha was frozen in place since she last spoke and finally came to her senses uponhearing that, but her face turned deathly pale again. Luke was right—she did not mean to lose hertemper. In fact, she was waiting for Sebastian to get out of the shower to apologize for not showingup last night, but his words had hurt her. That was when her anger got the better of her. Sashahesitated for a moment before she said, “The reason I came here was to apologize for last night. Myfriend needed help, so I went with him. I only recalled our appointment after I went home, but it wastoo late.”
