Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

Chapter 28 Chapter 28 1/2 Once Valeria had finished drying her hands , she took her lipstick from her pocket and began touching up her makeup . After she left the restroom and took a few steps forward , she soon came to a halt . The restroom was located at the end of a hallway . There was also an open window and a simple smoking zone located next to it . Sebastian was wearing a light gray shirt . As he leaned against the window , a small breeze slipped in .

With a cigarette between his fingers , he took a drag before dropping his arm lazily to the side . He had rolled his sleeves up to his elbow , and the veins on the back of his hand had extended up to his arm . Valeria subconsciously turned to look at him . Sebastian's gaze was flat , and his eyes were dark as he looked away from his phone . When their eyes met , he gave her a nod . She had returned the gesture before lowering her head and walking past him without another word .

Even though she had not interacted with Sebastian , the distance between them felt deliberate . Moments after Valeria had left , a woman came out of the bathroom and shouted at Valeria's retreating figure . " Hello , you've dropped your lipstick . " However , Valeria hadn't heard her . Valeria had just sat back in her seat when Queenie gave her a knowing look .

Taking out her phone , Valeria quickly realized that their group chat , consisting of her , Queenie , Lindsey , and Yvonne Brown , was filled with unread messages . 440 " I secretly took a photo of Ms. Lawson's boyfriend . How can he still look so handsome despite the terrible angle ? " " He has the face of a model ! " " Only a truly handsome man would be able to still look good ind such a warped shot . " " Ms.

Lawson's usually all cold and bossy in the office , but when she's with her boyfriend , she acts all soft and sweet . " S " You're right . " " However , I heard that their parents were the ones who had arranged the match . Does this mean " However , I heard that their parents were the ones we'll be getting wedding invitations soon ? " Chapter 28 2/2 Everyone began to tag Lindsey in the group .

Lindsey was Sabrina's assistant after all , so she probably received more information regarding the manner . Lindsey replied , " I haven't heard anything . Maybe they're just trying to keep a low profile . " " You're right . All those wealthy families prefer to keep a low profile . " " Did you get them mixed up ? All those wealthy people love keeping a high profile . " " How can we possibly know what's going on in their world ? " Valeria took a bite of her meat , the sauce dripping down .

Pursing her lips , she took out a napkin to wipe her lips . Back when she was with Sebastian , he always acted cold and aloof toward everyone , even her . Hence , she behaved cautiously during their relationship . The only exception was when they slept together . Other than that , the two of them were like familiar strangers . e Valeria couldn't help but question if he still acted the same when he slept with Sabrina .

She knew she should not have such thoughts and tried to keep those thoughts at bay . S However , she was a human , not a machine . She couldn't shut her thoughts down whenever she wanted to . Humans were emotional beings , and her heart was still beating . The only thing she could do was feign nonchalance as she continued to finish her meal in silence . * Half an hour later , their meal came to an end .

As Valeria was waiting for her ride at the side of the road , she watched Sebastian's car slowly drive past her . His window was not fully rolled up yet , so she saw Sabrina sitting inside . Sabrina was smiling radiantly as she looked at him shyly . She seemed to have said something to him as her cheeks quickly turned pink , making her look beautiful . Valeria watched as their car drove off into the distance .

Queenie was standing beside her as she exclaimed , ey sure are keeping a low profile . That car is only worth about 500,000 dollars , but do you know how much his watch costs ? " Valeria's gaze remained fixed in the direction Sebastian's car had driven off to .
