Sebastian was rendered speechless.“The audacity of this woman!” he thought.The elevator doors clinked shut, shutting out Sebastian’s cold gaze.Tamara did not think anything was off. 1999 was a bustling business, after all. Many of the top dogs in Londsville would frequent the bar.As the heir of the Lynch family, it was not odd for Sebastian to be seen in a place as such.Tamara reached Margot’s office and bid her farewell. Just as she was about to leave 1999, her phone buzzed from receiving a text.As she was unable to take calls, Tamara never missed any texts.Margot had texted her.MargotIsAdorbz: “Tammy, we just got a new wine sent in. Do you want to take a look at them in the wine cellar?”“New wine?” Tamara thought.As a mixologist, her job did not only entail mixing drinks. She was required to screen wines by examining their production dates and alcohol concentration to ensure they were mellow.If it were found that the wine had not aged as well as it should have,

When the maid noticed the puzzlement in Tamara’s gaze, she hurriedly asked, “Young Mrs. Lynch, is everything alright?”Tamara shook her head. She knew that the maids had just come in the day before, so it was likely that they had been instructed to take special care of her as she was pregnant.Eventually, her confusion was dispelled. She drank the milk offered to her without a second thought.The maid let out a sigh of relief at that.After Tamara emptied the glass, she passed it back to the maid. The maid accepted the empty glass and left.Once Tamara arrived upstairs, an email notification popped up on her computer.The email read: “I’ve received the scented tea leaves.”Tamara broke out into a small smile.She had developed the scented tea in question for over 2 months. It had miraculous healing properties that catered specifically to insomnia. If it hadn’t been for everything that had happened to her family recently, she knew that her scented tea would have been flying off

Sebastian caught Tamara in his arms. She could feel how firm the man’s body was, and the fire in his eyes frightened her. She hurriedly tried to steady herself but found that her legs felt like jelly. She couldn’t stand properly, no matter how hard she tried.She ended up tightening her grip on Sebastian.“Let go!” Sebastian said with a low growl. Tamara could see a vein popping out of his forehead.She was stunned. “What’s up with him?” she thought.At that moment, she instantly snapped back to her senses. Having just realized how precarious their position seemed, her expression stiffened.In a short few seconds, Tamara’s face flushed a bright red. She hurriedly loosened her grip on Sebastian’s arm, backing away from it as if it had burnt her. Her small hand began to tremble.She managed to compose herself and hurriedly bowed in apology.She hadn’t touched him on purpose! She had no idea why she ended up grabbing his arm. It had only been a reflex for her to grab something sinc

A black Lamborghini stopped right outside the villa at that moment. Sebastian got out of the car and walked inside with long strides.When Ms. Thompson saw that Sebastian had come back, she was startled and asked, “Young Mr. Lynch, did you forget something?”Sebastian hummed, indicating that he did, then headed straight up the stairs.In the master bedroom.Once Tamara got inside, she swept her gaze over the room and found that the bag on the sofa was no longer there.“Did he move it somewhere else?” she thought.She hesitated for a short moment, debating over whether she should keep looking for it.In the end, seeing that her curiosity would not be satisfied until she got a definite answer, she decided to resume her search.After searching the entire room to no avail, she continued to seek the bag out in the walk-in closet on the far left.She was met with rows upon rows of clothes, but all were black, white, or gray. No other colors were in sight.She pursed her lips and th

Tamara made a pained noise at the back of her throat. The sound resembled nails on a chalkboard. It was piercing to the ears.“Shut up!” The vein in Sebastian’s forehead had popped out. Every time he heard Tamara make a sound, he was cruelly reminded of the fact that he had a mute for a wife.He had become Londsville’s very own laughingstock.A loud smack resounded just then.Tamara slapped the bag off Sebastian’s hand. She dug her nails as deep into his skin as she could.This man was going to choke her to death! She didn’t want to die so soon!Pain from Tamara’s nail-digging caused Sebastian to release his grip on her neck. His expression darkened.She signed: “You’re crazy!”She did not care if Sebastian couldn’t understand her. She needed an outlet to release her anger.Following that, she stuck a middle finger out at him. What this gesture meant was universally known.Sebastian’s face darkened even further at that.Tamara did not want to bother with the man anymore. S
