Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 267 My employees stared at the mountain of fine food on our table , their expressions wavering between awe and discomfort . I waved them off and downed my wine in a single swallow . " I dreamed of starting my own business back in university , " I said " But instead , I spent ten years as a firefighter . If it weren't for all of you , I'd never have this chance . " I lifted my glass again . " This is for you - because you're worth it . Thank you ! " I refilled my cup and emptied it once more . My employees ' eyes glistened . Moved , they raised their glasses and drank deeply .

" A toast to Mr. Grimwald ! " " A toast to Sleeping Giant ! " " One day , we'll awaken and rule all of Astergrad ! " The mood soared . Passion buzzed in the air . I looked at my employees , and for the first time in years , every sip tasted like freedom . This was the life I had always wanted . This moment marked my escape from Hera . The feast began in earnest . Joy loosened my restraint , and I drank a little too much . Jeanine noticed . " Mr. Grimwald , you should stop . You're so drunk I can barely see your eyes open . Should I drive you home ? " " I'm fine, Jeanine , " I said brightly .

1 " Enjoy yourselves . All of you ! " I stood . " Excuse me - I need to use the restroom . " I staggered out of the private room and headed for the loo . When I came back , my balance betrayed me . I stumbled and collided with a passerby . A heady fragrance filled my nostrils . My face sank into a soft , enveloping warmth . " Ew! Couldn't you control how much you drank ? Get off me ! " a woman's voice snapped . Mortified , I realized I had landed somewhere I absolutely shouldn't . " I'm sorry ! I didn't mean to ! My name's Sebastian Grimwald .

I forgot which room I came from , but you can ask around ! Please help me back ! " I babbled , struggling to rise . My head spun . Instead of standing , I slipped deeper into the softness . " Mmm ... Smells so good ... I'm going to die of happy suffocation ... " I muttered . " What in actual hell ? " she said , then froze . " Wait . Did you say your name's Sebastian Grimwald ? " " Sure is , " I slurred . She tilted my chin up and peered at my face . " Let me look at you . Sebastian , what university did you attend ? Answer me ! " Was she planning to report me to my alma mater ?

My fogged brain answered anyway . " Astergrad University . But there's no point in reporting me . I graduated a long time ago . " " Report you ? Oh no . This is even better . I've finally found you !" Her voice brimmed with excitement . " You ... know me ? " I mumbled . She ignored the question and pulled out her phone . " I need a few guys here . Bring him to my room . Put him on my bed . " She ended the call and began to run her hands over me , pinching my cheeks and grazing my abs . I heard her swallow hard .
