Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 270 " What are you ... " Leda looked stunned . She had not expected me to do this . " What am I doing ? Doing you , of course ! " I replied , raising my eyebrow . " My turn to watch you perform ! " She protested weakly , " But I ... I have a meeting before noon ... " That went nowhere . She did not even want to resist me . In fact , she was receptive almost instantly from the start . +25 Bonus An hour later , Leda had finished putting on her makeup and slipping into her dress , ready to leave the hotel room . There was a faint , almost imperceptible limp in the way she walked .

Her makeup had failed to mask the radiant blush on her cheeks . I remained lying on the bed , feeling unusually revitalized. I then stared at the elite black gold card she had handed me . Her parting words still echoed in my ears . " Oh , let me live , sweetie ! Here's a card for you . No limit on how much you can spend . Get yourself a nice car and flash this at my event . It will tell my people who you are . " " A super high - end , exclusive banquet , huh ? " I muttered with a smirk . " No harm in attending . Now that I have the funding , Sleeping Giant could take some big steps .

" I shoved the card into my pocket . I finally checked my phone and found a flood of missed calls . Every employee had called . Jeanine had called ten times . The rest were from Claire . " I didn't know so many people would care about me this much , " I murmured . Life had changed . Before my divorce , I could vanish offline for a day and a night , and Hera wouldn't even send a single message -let alone call - to check if I was okay . I first posted in the company group chat to let everyone know I was fine . Before I could call Claire , her call arrived . Her voice brimmed with relief .

" Sebastian ! Finally ! I was worried sick ! You aren't in any trouble , are you ? " I glanced down at my " battle scars . " Did this count as trouble ? " No , no . Celebrated our company's success last night . Drank a little too much and had to spend the night at a hotel . My phone died , too , " I replied . " In any case , I'm glad you're fine ! I came home last night but noticed you hadn't been around for a while . I got worried , " Claire sighed in relief . " Anyway ... will you be able to help drive Grandma home today ? She'll be discharged , " she asked cautiously .

" If you're busy , though , you don't have to . " " Nope . I'm free . What time should I be there ? " I asked . The first batch of our projects had been completed . Jeanine and the rest could handle whatever remained on her own . " Great ! Grandma has only two IV drips left before being discharged . It should be around 11:00 a.m. , " she said , almost giddily . " Alright . We shall meet at eleven . " I got up from the bed and spotted the note Leda had left : [ Buy a car !!! ] She was right . Meeting clients without a car was inconvenient . It was time to get one .

Though I wouldn't need to rely on her card . I still had 11 million dollars with me . Once I bought the car , it would be time to pick up Claire and Sabine from the hospital . A car dealership stood directly across from the hotel . It took only a few minutes to reach on foot .
