Chapter 453: Uh oh.

Chapter 453: Uh oh.

As Nora and Isabella settled into the conference room, with Ian disappearing to somewhere to lurk, they could not help but exchange glances, still wondering how Seb would react to their interference.

If Ian was to be used as an example, then he’d react alright but... if not, things would not go well.With a sigh, Isabella leaned back in her chair, her mind racing through possible scenarios. "I just hope Seb doesn’t take this the wrong way."

Nora nodded in agreement, her expression reflecting a mixture of determination and unease. "Me too. But we can’t just ignore what’s happening. That would be foolish."

Soon, the door opened and a man walked in. Nora almost giggled at the man while Isabella cast her a warning look as she smiled,"Drake, how are you this morning?"

The man gave a small smile and nodded his head," I’d doing well, Miss Isabella. How are you doing? ANd good day to you Mrs Frost."

Nora widened her eyes and pointed at herself," You know me?"

"Of course I should know the lady boss of Frost Industries. I am..."

"I know you. You’re Seb’s Rosie." Nora answered with a smile.

The man coughed and almost dropped the file in his hand while Isabella tried to cover her smile. No one other than Seb ever dared to call the fierce man Rosie.

"Hey! Don’t bully my assistant, Nora," Seb chided with a playful glint in his eye as he entered the conference room. He turned to his assistant with a smirk. "I’ll have Demon give you a bonus since his wife teased you."

The sullen look on the man’s face melted into a grateful smile before he made a hasty exit, leaving behind a light chuckle in the air at the thought of more money.

Seb then took the seat opposite the two women, his grin widening as he addressed them. "Hello, beautiful ladies. How are you doing? So, is it time for ’the talk’?"

Nora and Isabella looked at each other,"Talk?" before repeating simultaneously.

Seb smiled," Well, you went to see Olivia this morning. Then the two of you are here. I remember how shocked Ian was after you gave him ’the talk’ Nora, so I’m pretty sure, now it’s my turn."

Isabella exchanged a glance with Nora, a wry smile tugging at the corner of her lips. "Well, it seems the element of surprise has vanished."

Nora nodded," Its all your Ian’s fault. He is a blabbermouth!"

Isabella frowned at that while Ian who was quietly lurking in the corner scowled- How was this fair? He got the talk and was blamed and now that Seb was getting the talk, why was he blamed again? How was that fair.

Seb smirked at their discussion and then waited patiently. He could guess what they were about but he was not yet ready to talk about Olivia. So he needed to put them on a back foot.

As Isabella opened her mouth to defend her man, Nora continued," Well it is his fault! He told Olivia about that place for se* toys and now she wants us to get some for her. Who can you blame but him."

Seb almost choked as he heard the words while the ’lurking’ Ian grinned mischievously as he watched Seb’s incredulous expression, thoroughly entertained by the unexpected turn of events.. He would willingly accept the blame for this, if they could make Seb stumble! Bravo Nora! She guessed Seb’s game and changed accordingly.

Meanwhile, Seb’s jaw was practically hitting the floor as he asked," "Sex toys? Olivia wants... sex toys?" His voice cracked as he wondered if they were pulling a prank on him...

His eyes darted between Nora and Isabella searching for any signs of jest or deception. But the earnest expressions on their faces confirmed the truth of the matter, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Finally, he managed to compose himself enough to speak, though his voice still carried a hint of disbelief. "Well, I suppose that’s..."

Nora nodded in sympathy as she said," I know it must be really galling for you. A man of your experience and his wife needs a... you know what. Anyway, she was too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. After all, its not her fault. It is her hormones which are creating a havoc. And the two of you are not allowed to... do the deed so of course she is going to need something to get rid of her boredom..."

When silence reigned after Nora’s words, Nora kicked Isabella who was also looking a bit shell shocked, gesturing with her eyes to help her. Her eyes widening at the realization that this was probably the "Isabella is pregnant" version for Seb... Your wife needs se* toys... She shook her head in admiration. Nora had quite a good handle on these Frost brothers.

Quickly schooling her face, Isabella nodded along," We know you’re busy about that project with Miss Emma but still as Olivia’s friends and your sisters, we thought that we should warn you. Don’t worry, once the doctor gives her the go ahead after the ultrasound, we will personally take her to the store so that she can shop for whatever she likes. Until then, we hope that you can do something to keep her... entertained?"

Nora nodded at Isabella’s words," Yes... keep her satisfied."

Isabella winked at Nora as they watched Seb’s lost expression and high fived under the table.

As he was lost in thought, Nora finally turned to Isabella and asked conversationally,"So, who is this Miss Emma? What project has Seb so busy? With me being busy with the remodelling work, I can hardly keep up with news about the Frost Industries. So, Seb? Who is this Emma?"

Seb looked at Nora absently and shook his head," Emma? She’s no one important... Just someone who had a good business idea and needed investment. I... I need to go. Thanks for the... for the advice. I’ll take care of..."

"Her se* drive?" Nora added helpfully making Seb wince as he nodded," Yes. That too. You ladies enjoy the coffee."

As Seb raced out of the conference room, Isabella and Nora burst into laughter, this time high fiving each other openly.. Mission successful! They’d confused Seb and had already judged Seb’s reaction about this so called ’threat’- Emma.
