Bring Her

Sebastian chuckled like a maniac while still crouching on the ground. That woman was so strong that it took him a while to regain his composure after getting hit badly in the crotch. 

Normally, he wouldn’t take a lousy hit like that, but he had been distracted while kissing her luscious lips.

“How can it be this good?” he muttered under his breath, licking his lips. 

He had kissed other women before, but no lips tasted like hers. He couldn’t explain it… it was so good that even though his crotch hurt badly, the thought of her still lingered.

She smelled incredible too, refreshing and sweet. Sebastian cursed under his breath as he glanced at his groin. He was still in pain, yet the thought of that woman wouldn’t extinguish the hardness that remained.

“Since when did I become a pervert?” he hissed in annoyance, standing up to make a call. 

Soon, Clay, his right-hand man, entered.

“Boss, are you alright?” Clay asked quickly. “Miss Rhea is fuming downstairs, giving statements to the media. She says the engagement is off and that she won’t marry you.”

Sebastian ran his fingers through his face and hair in frustration. He looked at Clay and instructed, “Find out who that woman is!”

“A woman? What woman?!” Clay exclaimed, his eyes wide.

“Damn it, Clay! I woke up with a woman here, both of us naked, and Rhea saw it. Find out who she is, and I want you to bring her to me immediately!” he grunted.

“Right away, Boss!” Clay said before rushing off to follow his orders.

Sebastian prepared himself to face the mess that woman had created for him. Today was supposed to be the pictorial and exclusive interview for him and Rhea in this room, but it had turned into the day his wedding cancellation was announced.

Rhea Monroe was the only daughter of the Monroe Group, a multinational automotive manufacturer and the largest in the world! She was the best choice he’d had so far, but now it had slipped through his fingers.

“Grandma is going to kill me,” he grunted. He had no plans to get married yet, but his grandma had been bugging him nonstop about it, even threatening him with her health. 

That old woman was his weakness, and he was willing to do anything for her, no matter how cliche her tactics were… like threatening him with her health just to get him to settle down.

She had arranged countless blind dates for him, but none had worked out. Then, a few weeks ago, during a business meeting with the Monroe Group, the Chairman brought up the possibility of marrying off his only daughter to finalize a business deal.

Sebastian massaged his temples. If the plan had succeeded, he’d have hit two birds with one stone: another successful business venture and the satisfaction of granting his grandma’s request for him to settle down.

As he left his room and walked toward the lobby, reporters began to flock around him, but his men and bodyguards quickly blocked them, preventing them from taking any photos.

“Mr. Bancroft! Is it true that Miss Monroe caught you with another woman naked, and that’s why she’s canceling the wedding tomorrow? Please tell us your side of the story. Who is that woman? Is she your new partner now?”

Sebastian gritted his teeth and ignored the swarm of reporters. He hated talking too much, especially when it came to explaining himself!

With that, he took long strides toward the car waiting for him outside. As soon as he got inside, Clay handed him a tablet.

“Her name is Arabella Winters. I sent you the rough profile details we gathered about her. She’s twenty years old and works as a medical technologist at Meta Doctors Hospital,” Clay started.

“It’s true she had a room booked under her name next to yours. She was also on the guest list at the charity event you attended last night. The director of Meta Doctors Hospital is the one who invited her,” Clay explained further while Sebastian scrolled through the files and began watching the CCTV footage on the tablet.

“Based on the CCTV footage, you can see how she was swaying while walking like she was completely drunk. She tried her key card on the first door, but it didn’t work. Then she tried it on your door, and, surprisingly, it worked. She probably entered thinking it was her room,” he continued.

Sebastian frowned as he stared at the woman who now had a name. “Arabella,” he murmured, his eyes narrowing.

“Upon our quick investigation, the front desk gave her the wrong key card last night. After she entered your room, we can’t determine what really happened between the two of you. I guess only you two know,” Clay explained.

Sebastian smirked. “Dig deeper into this, Clay. I don’t believe this was just a coincidence. It’s too perfectly orchestrated, and I want to know who’s behind it!” he growled. “Did you have someone get her? Where did she run off to now?” he asked, still staring at her profile pictures.

“Oh, that…” Clay hesitated.

Sebastian turned to him with a frown and demanded, “What is it?”

“She’s at the hospital right now. Her father is very sick, and from what we’ve gathered, he’s scheduled for a heart transplant. They’re waiting for a donor result today. He’s next on the list, and miraculously there’s a match, so the operation is scheduled for today. Should we proceed with bringing her in?”

“That operation would cost over a million dollars,” Sebastian remarked, staring at Arabella’s profile details again. “Based on this information, she’s just a common citizen with an average salary. Her father hasn’t worked in a long time… Where would she get the money? Did she win the lottery?” he added with a wry smile.

“I want to know where she’s getting the money for this operation,” he grunted.

“I’ll look into it further, Boss. So, what should we do next? Do you still want us to bring her to you right now?” Clay asked again.
