Let Me Stay The Night

It would be a piece of cake for Victoria to deal with the waning Taggart family with her family background.

Sebastian and Victoria had only met a few times, and they were not even friends yet. It was merely a coincidence that she would visit him at the hospital. Sebastian was a man who was easily satisfied, so he never tried to strive for things he knew he should not have.

With a weak smile, he said, “Ms. Lesley, thank you for your kind intentions, but Manuel has received the punishment he deserves, and Mr. Hadley has stood up for me. I don’t wish to trouble anyone else.”

A wave of frustration swelled in Victoria’s chest when she heard how polite and distant he was.

Bam!

She roughly placed the bowl on the bedside table and hissed. “So I’m just ‘someone else’ to you. I thought we were at least friends after how long we knew each other, but it looks like I was making the wrong assumptions. I have other things to do, so goodbye.”

At that, Victoria stormed out of the room with her bag, slamming the door behind her.

Sebastian stared at the closed door in confusion.

I was speaking the truth, so why did she suddenly get so mad?

When Sebastian mulled over his conversation with Victoria, a thought popped into his head.

He finally realized why Victoria was so livid. It was not that Victoria had a bad temper but that he was too slow to realize what he had said.

Sebastian bitterly laughed before wearily leaning back against the headboard. He closed his eyes.

He desperately wished that he was wrong. He was only Nathaniel’s assistant, and it was clear that he was no match for Victoria in terms of status. Although he was not close to the Taggart family, he could never erase the fact that he was one of the Taggarts.
