Rosalie smiled, lifting her chin in a self-congratulatory manner.Sebastian felt quite helpless. No. 7, Mercantile Lane, was the office building Sebastian and Whitney had visited three years ago.At that time, they had been attracted by its location, the surrounding environment, and the nearby café.However, they had to compromise due to the high rent. They ended up renting a small office space across the street from No. 7.Now, that building was entirely owned by Frostwave Corporation. In other words, Rosalie had opened his company right across from Frostwave Corporation's property.Feeling resigned, Sebastian glanced at Rosalie and asked, "Don't you know that the opposite building belongs to Frostwave Corporation?""Huh? Really? I had no idea. I just saw it recommended by someone, so I helped you rent it," Rosalie said, startled.Oh, no! She accidentally placed his company right across from Frostwave Corporation. Even if it wasn't intentional, how would Whitney perceive it
Whitney was shocked.After hanging up the phone, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, staring at No. 7, Mercantile Lane, the office building across the street.She had visited that office building three years ago with Sebastian. However, due to the high rent, they had chosen the current office building for Frostwave Corporation.In three years, Frostwave Corporation had already purchased this office building.Now, as Frostwave Corporation aimed to expand with a subsidiary, Whitney naturally chose the office building across the street.But unexpectedly, after six months of negotiations, she hadn't secured it. And today, Sebastian easily took it over.Three million in rent?Every month …Where did he get so much money?At this moment, Whitney was in turmoil. "Ms. Sutton, did you find out who rented it?" Mabel asked. "Sebastian," Whitney answered. She took a deep breath, her gaze coldly fixed on the office building."What? Sebastian? How is that
Mabel smirked coldly and said, "I just want Sebastian to understand the gap between him and our company! How do you think Sebastian will react if Henry wins in the first round?"At that time, does he still have the qualifications to boast before you?"Besides, it's also an excellent opportunity to increase publicity for Henry during this trial. It will be very beneficial for our company as well."I heard that this trial is crafted by the original team of Crestborne's Harmony Quest program! It will be broadcast first on several local channels in Steinberg and online platforms."If the program performs well, there's a good chance it will be broadcast nationally. By then, the entire medical conference audition hall competition will be live-streamed across all platforms nationwide throughout the day."If Henry becomes famous in one fell swoop, it means that our company has received free publicity in front of the people of Steinberg!"Whitney frowned. She pondered for a moment and tho
"You!" Mabel hesitated, her eyes flickering.She seemed to have actually said those words, but in this situation, how could she possibly do such a thing?"Sebastian! You're truly disgusting. I've never seen such a petty and narrow-minded man like you!" Mabel scorned with a look of disdain.Sebastian coldly chuckled, "So, Ms. Lucero, you're not planning to acknowledge your words?""Enough, Sebastian. You don't need to be so aggressive. Mabel was just venting. You don't have to take it so seriously," Whitney interjected, attempting to defuse the tension.After all, Mabel was her secretary. If she stripped naked and jumped off the cruise ship, it wouldn't just be embarrassing for Mabel but also for Whitney.Sebastian laughed derisively. "I'm being too aggressive? So, Ms. Sutton, this is how you distinguish right from wrong?""You!" Whitney exclaimed in frustration. She glared at Sebastian, and with a disdainful look at the elegant Rosalie by his side, she huffed, "I don't want to t
Sebastian took advantage of Rosalie's conversing with others to quietly come to a corner of the deck. Leaning against the railing, he held a glass of whiskey, enjoying the scenic beauty of the lake.The breeze wafted in, carrying the moist scene of the lake, refreshing his senses. The sensation was truly enchanting. In an instant, all his worries seemed to evaporate.Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed from behind him.Sebastian frowned slightly. He watched as Whitney, who was in a vibrant red neckline gown, walked wearily toward him.Since it was dark, it seemed she hadn't noticed him. With both hands gripping the railing, eyes closed, and face turned upwards, she was savoring the caress of the lake breeze.At that instant, the wind blew through her hair, revealing her delicate and breathtakingly beautiful face.Absolutely stunning.Sebastian stared blankly, reminiscent of the feeling he had when he first met Whitney three years ago. In these years, she had changed a lot
Sebastian kneed Fergus, and the man ended up lying on the ground, clutching his stomach."Stop! Stop!" Fergus quickly begged for mercy as he saw Sebastian lifting his foot."Get lost!"Fergus got up and left, filled with frustration. He could only rub his eyes and muttered, "Sebastian! Just wait and see!"…On the entertainment deck of the cruise ship, Whitney stood at the entrance, waiting for Fergus.When she saw Fergus entering with his hand over his eyes, she asked in confusion, "What happened to your eyes?""That jerk Sebastian punched me," Fergus angrily explained.Whitney raised an eyebrow. He glanced at Fergus's bruised eyes and exclaimed, "Why would he do that?"She quickly found a staff to bring an ice pack for Fergus."Whitney, you're so kind. Thank you," Fergus said, taking the ice pack with a smiling face.Suddenly, he felt that getting hit might have been worth it. At least Whitney was concerned about him.Whitney was taken aback and explained, "Don't misunder
William leered at Whitney, his gaze becoming particularly invasive as it hovered over the paleness of her chest and her fair, long legs.Whitney felt uncomfortable under such a gaze but couldn't voice her displeasure."Ms. Sutton, we're all smart people here, so I'll be straightforward. When I saw you earlier, it was love at first sight. "I wonder if you could accompany me to my room for a few drinks. We can have a deep conversation and figure out how I can help."William, no longer bothering with pretenses, leered at Whitney with a lustful gaze.One of his hands boldly moved toward Whitney's leg.Caught off guard, Whitney immediately slapped William's wandering hand away and stood up. "Mr. Saunders, do you realize what you're saying?"William's expression immediately turned sour. He spoke in a low voice, "What's the matter, Ms. Sutton? Don't want my help anymore?"Since you came to ask for my assistance, you should understand the weight of the posts on the National Medical Fo
Rosalie also expressed mild surprise, not expecting Sebastian to act so decisively."Dr. Ballard, are you really not going to help? It seems like Ms. Sutton is in big trouble," Rosalie asked again.Sebastian slowed his pace slightly. He glanced over to see that Whitney was now in a heated argument with the other person.The bodyguards had blocked her way, and an extremely disheveled William had rushed forward. He grabbed Whitney's delicate wrist, angrily shouting, "Damn it! You, bitch! Do you think you can escape? If you don't serve me well tonight, don't even think about leaving this cruise ship!""Let go of me! I'm warning you, if you do anything to me, I can call the police!" Whitney angrily threatened, struggling with all her might. However, being no match for a larger man, she couldn't break free."Call the police? Go ahead and try! Do you even know where you are? It's a cruise ship! Even if I forced myself on you right now, there won't be any consequences!" William shame
