Chapter 433: Emma
Seb maneuvered the car with ease, his hands gliding over the steering wheel with practiced precision. Despite the smoothness of his actions, his mind was focused elsewhere. he’d been trying his best to ignore the woman next to him, but her actions seemed to be getting bolder with each passing mile.
First, she edged closer to him, trying to get her attention to him. He ignored it. One might say that he was quite used to it. He’d planned to sleep with her tonight, just to get rid of his mounting frustration.
However, her desperation repelled him. Her hand brushed against arm before moving delicately to trace circles on his wrist in open invitation. Carefully, he moved aside his hand, letting her know with his actions that he was not happy with being chased.
Undeterred,she leaned in closer, her breath warm against Seb’s ear as she murmured softly, "I want to tocuh you... so much more, right here, Seb."
He clenched his jaw. Dam* it! He’d have accepted such an invitation easily in the past. But now, his body refused to cooperate with him! Taking his silence for invitation, she slowly bent over the console, her hands reaching for the button of his trousers. And yet, he felt nothing stir.
As she would have unzipped him, he caught her wrist," Let me focus on driving. I have no intention of ending up in a hospital with my pants around my knees."
The woman, he couldn’t remember her name, chuckled and withdrew her hand, leaning against the door," Seb Frost, the day you would lose your focus from getting a head would be the day for an accomplishment... I’ve heard of your... escapades..."
Seb winced. Why did he think she had a beautiful voice? Her voice was grating against his nerves. And her perfume was cloying. Was he so frustrated that he was willing to sleep with anyone...
"I assure you, my escapades are mostly exaggerated. Unfortunately, by your own kind."
Seb’s curt response seemed to catch the woman off guard, her laughter fading into an awkward silence as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. The tension in the car was palpable, thickening with every passing moment as Seb’s gaze remained fixed on the road ahead.
Clearing her throat, the woman attempted to regain her composure, her voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty as she spoke, "Well, Seb, I suppose I should take that as a compliment, then."
Seb merely grunted in response, his expression unreadable as he continued to look at the darkened roads.
Needing to shift the atmosphere, she brought her hands in front of herself, leaning forward so that her assets would be highligted to the best and asked him coyly,"Where are we headed tonight? Another party or your place after all?"
Seb’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his jaw clenching with frustration at her persistence. Didn’t she just get the hint that he had no interest in taking her anywhere else? Or even talking to her.
Apparently not. He needed to be straight. He shot her a pointed look, his voice clipped as he replied, "Why don’t you go ahead and enter your address in the GPS?"
"We’re going to my home? Ohh... my place is too small for a bigwig like you."
"Thats alright. I am only dropping you home."
The woman’s expression faltered, a flicker of disappointment crossing her features as she processed Seb’s words. "But... I thought..." she trailed off, her voice trailing into uncertainty.
Seb cut her off with a firm shake of his head, his tone leaving no room for argument. "I’m not interested," he stated bluntly, his gaze unwavering as he turned to meet her eyes, not even looking at what she was offering. "I’ll drop you off, and that’s the end of it."
The woman’s shock was palpable, her features contorted in disbelief as she struggled to comprehend Seb’s rejection. "But... why?" she stammered, her voice tinged with hurt and confusion. "I thought you wanted..."
Seb interrupted her with a pointed glare, his patience wearing thin as he responded, "I don’t owe you an explanation. Now, tell me where you live, and I’ll get you there."
The woman fell silent, her gaze falling to her lap as a heavy silence settled over the car. For a moment, the air was thick with unspoken tension, the weight of Seb’s words hanging between them.
Finally, the woman spoke, her voice barely above a whisper, "Are you... are you really not going to sleep with me?"
Seb sighed, his frustration mingling with a twinge of regret as he replied, "No, I’m not." He felt like a jerk. WIth a sigh, he watched her enter her address and spoke," Look, I did not mean to insult you. I am sorry but I am just not in the right place at the moment. You’ve been a wonderful companion all these days, accompanying me to the events. I’ll have my assistant send you a small token of gratitude tomorrow."
The woman nodded but said nothing, looking at him carefully. It was not often that a man would refuse what she was offering. The gift of course she knew would have been a payment for her.. but he was giving it to her just like that. She felt grateful... and touched.
As he came to a stop, she was even more touched with him coming to escort her out of the car to her door.
Seb turned to leave after dropping off the woman but she caught his sleeve. He’d only looked around when she hugged him tight, "Thank you, Mr Sen. If you ever... I know this might sound foolish but if you ever need me, then please know that I will remember your kindness.."
Seb nodded and gently hugged the back, her manner of speaking now revealing her true young self. "Thank you. Goodbye."
She smiled and waved him back, "Goodbye Mr Seb. Also, my name is Emma.. in case you need me in the future."
Seb laughed at that and sent her a salute as he walked away. The girl had actually guessed that he did not know her name.
