If it was Sabrina, she would not call him at all. However, Sebastian still answered the call. "Hello?"
On the other end, Lori sounded unexpectedly calm." Director Ford, I... I have something to tell you."
Sebastian answered, "Alright."
"Uhm... Last week Uncle Ford invited my mother, my granduncle, and I to the old Ford family residence. That day, he said you, your wife, and your daughter would also be present."
“Is there a problem?" Sebastian threw the question back at her.
Lori's tone was sincere. "It's like this, Director Ford; your wife doesn't like me too much, so, I think... Maybe you shouldn't come?"
Sebastian:"..."
"Master Sebastian, don’t misunderstand. I didn't mean to prevent you from going to your own home. But because... Because Uncle Ford invited us, my mother and I have no choice but to attend. My mother and I have no one to rely on but each other, so we don't dare to go against Uncle Ford's wishes. That's why I thought to talk to you first. Because I'm quite afraid your wife would... Would be unhappy." Lori's tone sounded like a pitiful, wronged little wife, as if she was trying her best to compromise for the greater
good.
In actuality, her heart was thumping rapidly in her chest. Yesterday afternoon, she and Master Sebastian sat in the same private room, but not even their hands touched. Sebastian did not even look at her properly.
Initially, she thought she would be able to climb into his bed last night, but she had underestimated him. It was hard to seduce a man like him. She did not dare t o act rashly, afraid of exposing her true intentions ahead of time. She could only move forward slowly, step by step. She had even mapped out her strategy, which was to take one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow.
