Chapter 481: Foes

"Where are you taking me?" Vivienne asked haughtily after some time.

"Rosie’s home." Seb answered wryly.

Two sets of eyes turned to him at the same time. While Rosie looked at him im horror, Vivienne frowned," Who is Rosie? And why are you taking me to her place? Take me back to the hotel!"

"Well, are you sure you will be safe in the hotel if those goons return? And I’d say you are quite well acquainted with Rosie considering you’ve been treating him like your own personal throne for a while now."

It was at this moment she realized that she has been sitting in someone’s lap. She hadn’t even realized that she was perched on a man’s knees.

Her disdainful gaze melted into a mixture of shock and embarrassment, making her cheeks flush! "You.. you..."

As she turned to look at the man, he grinned and waved his hand at her," Hello."

Vivienne moved to scramble off him, but the man quickly held her by the waist and spoke,"Miss Dempsey! Please don’t move. We’re about to reach anyway."

"You you you!"

Just then, the car came to a stop and Vivienne jumped out even before Seb could turn off the engine. As she was about to let loose a litany of curses, Seb spoke up," Rememeber that Rosie pulled you into the car, Vivienne. Now, let’s go inside and discuss this matter further."

She nodded silently and followed the man into the small apartment, leaving behind Rosie who was still sitting in the car with his legs numb. He stared at the two people who were going to his house as if they owned it and grimaced. When did his home turn into a safe house?

Wasn’t Miss Dempsey a threat to Mr Frost? Then why was he being so cavalier about his own safety and compromising his own asssistant’s safety? As he watched the two people walk into the elevator, he grinned. As if they would be able to enter his house. Fine, forget him here.

Quickly, he scrambled out of the car and hurried after them though. He couldn’t let the boss wait. As he raced up the stairs, he realized he was already too late. The two people were staring at each other as if they wanted to kill or atleast maim the other. Uh oh.. He didn’t want any of that, he thought silently.

With a quick twist of the doorknob, he swung the door open, ushering them inside before the brewing storm could erupt. At least inside his home there would be no witnesses to any bloodshed.

Once inside, Seb threw the picture that Vivienne had given him and growled," Explain yourself."

Vivienne stared at the picture for a moment and then stared back at him," What do you mean explain myself? This is what those people threw at me, when they forcefully dragged me out of the car and then told me that they were going to break my bones for being close to you!"

"I tried to tell them that this was a mistake and that I hated you but the leader said- "Too bad our employer doesn’t think that this is hate."

Seb narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Vivienne’s expression for any signs of deceit. "And why should I believe you?" he retorted sharply. "You’ve been nothing but trouble since you barged into my life then and now! How do I know this isn’t just another one of your schemes to cause me toruble. You were the only one who knew you were going to be there. You always travel with your security but suddenly you were all alone. I doubt even those goons were real. They did not even try to follow us! How do I know this isn’t just another one of your schemes?"

Vivienne’s cheeks flushed with a mixture of indignation and frustration. "Because it’s the truth!" she snapped back, her voice tinged with exasperation. "Why would I lie about something like this? I may not like you, Frost, but I’m not about to risk getting my bones broken just for fun. I don’t know who it is that you have offended but keep them away from me! Just let them know that I’d rather be stung by a hundred bees than be close to you! "

Seb nodded and uncorssed his arms," Fine! As a matter of fact, I hope that too. I’ll go see if I can arrange a beehive with a hundred bees just for you, until then I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. You can stay here for the time being while I investigate this matter further. Stay safe and do not try to pull anything weird or I’ll have Rosie bury you here."

Seb, then walked out of the house, leaving behind a stunned Vivienne and an indignant Rosie. Being the good host he was, Rosie graciously said," Make yourself at home Miss Dempsey" and followed his boss with a hundred questions in his mind.

"Boss!"

Seb stopped and turned around, quickly instructing, "Keep an eye on her, Rosie. She is not to be trusted."

"I know that! This is too much of a coincidence. My question is, if you know she is not to be trusted, then why are you leaving her here with me? What if she stabs me to death at night?"

"She won’t do that, Rosie. Just relax."

"Relax? If we are to go by our previous suspicions, she is capable of harming Miss Emma, then do you really want to risk your valuable assistant’s life?" Rosie questioned him while Seb assured him once again," She won’t do anything herself, Rosie. She has hematophobia."

With that, Seb walked away, leaving behind his indignant assistant. So just because Miss Dempsey had a fear of blood, he was supposed to consider himself safe? What is she poisoned him? There would be no blood involved. Maybe he should smear some blood on himself, to keep her away..."

Shaking his head at his own thoughts over being scared of a dainty woman, Rosette walked back to his house. Maybe he would use this chance to get the truth from Miss Vivienne. If only he had a truth speaking serum that he could feed her, his life would become so easy...
