Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 162 Evanna had been young once , too . She could read these kids ' thoughts without a word . Metis clearly liked Sebastian , yet she was strangely avoidant of him . Why ? Evanna thought of the woman he had fought with in the parking lot . Could that be the reason ? " Goddamn , so he's a horny playboy like my no - good jerk of a son , too ?! " she muttered under her breath , shocked . " But ... he doesn't look like one ! " When Sebastian returned to the car to invite her into the clinic , Evanna wisely flushed all her speculations from her mind without speaking .

A young man's private affairs were no concern of an older woman , after all . " You must be really special to the good doctor , Sebastian ! You could somehow summon her out of business hours with a single call ! " Evanna remarked . " No , no . Dr. Fey was likely standing behind the door just as I was calling , " Sebastian replied nonchalantly , having failed to catch her undertone . Evanna shot him a meaningful look, her mind churning . ' He doesn't harbor any feelings for the doctor , does he ? Doesn't he know that no one stands behind a door at an hour like this for no reason ?

' Outwardly , she smiled . " Regardless , thanks to you , I finally got to secure a physical check - up from the best doctor in Astergrad ! " " You flatter me , Evanna . " We finally entered the main hall . Medicines of all kinds lined the shelves around us . Metis had put on a white coat while waiting . Calmly , she looked at us and began , " It's actually outside business hours now , Sebastian . What will you do to thank me for giving you this preferential treatment ? " Her expression left no doubt that she was really holding out for a reward . I was stunned . " Er ...

Shall I treat you to dinner ? " She shook her head . " No. How about an honest answer ? I'll ask you a question . " " What kind ? " " The woman you mentioned to Terry this afternoon . The woman you told him never to harass again , " she asked directly . " Who is she to you ? " Metis affected an aloof , uncaring air , but inside , she was nervous as hell . What if Sebastian confirmed she was his lover ? " She's my employee . She works as my personal assistant now , " I answered , a little perplexed .

" She's a highly competent worker and is quite the looker , which is why an asshat like Terry went after her . I had to protect her . " I had no idea why she would ask about Jeanine . Regardless , I had every reason to be honest . Metis deserved that for giving me this privilege . A subtle grimace shadowed Metis ' face . She caught the keywords that could spell trouble for her chances with Sebastian : ' a looker , ' ' highly competent , ' and ' personal assistant . ' 1/2 " So ... you felt sorry for her ? " she continued , following up on my answer " Of course !

I bet you would too if you were there . Jeanine's a nice , decent girl ! She didn't deserve to be harassed by that idiot ! " I replied , frowning at the memory of the incident . I had completely missed the bint of jealousy in her eyes . Metis seemed to abandon her line of questioning and turned to Evanna . " You're the mother of Mr. Goldman , right ? I shall see You first . " As for you , Sebastian ... enjoy waiting for your turn . Hmph ! " After glaring and sneering at me , she started toward her consultation room . I was bemused . She sounded just fine ! Why was she suddenly so upset now ?

" What is up with her ? " I muttered . P Comments Support Share 2/2 Sara Lili Sara Lili is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion. She loves crafting hot love stories while embracing the chill of Iceland's breathtaking cold.
