Spoiled by the Silver Fox

"Seb, it's me, Marilyn."

Sebastian found himself stunned for a moment, then stood up and opened the door. "Sorry, Mrs. Bishop... I didn't realize it was you."

"No worries... I heard you've been acting a bit off these days, so I came to see if you're feeling unwell."

"No..."

"Is it something Steph did?"

The mere mention of Stephanie seemed to trigger a surge of anger in Sebastian's face. He didn't even bother to sugarcoat his feelings.

Marilyn quickly sensed something was off: "That troublemaker Steph... always causing a ruckus. Seb, you wait here; I'll go fetch her to apologize to you!" Sebastian almost stopped her, but then thought, Isn't it Stephanie's habit to flee after a fight, too scared to face him?

Let her come!

He wanted to ask her what she thought of him.

In the end, even with Marilyn's intervention, Stephanie didn't make an appearance.

However, by the evening, Sebastian had received a bank transfer notification.

Half a million...

He was pissed off and confused, sending Stephanie a question-mark text.

She replied almost immediately.

"This is money for your upkeep."

Did he need her money?

And what's with the habit of throwing money at him whenever something happens?

What did she take him for?

Sebastian was fuming.

Martin wanted to clock out, but seeing President Ingram's sullen face, he didn't dare bring it up.

If President Ingram wasn't leaving, he wasn't either.

And Stephanie's been feeling guilty for days.

Making a mistake once was one thing, but she did it again.

Sebastian must hate her by now; she always messed up when she got drunk.

He let it slide the first time, but this must be getting on his nerves.

Even Marilyn called and asked her to apologize to Sebastian at the office, but how could she apologize for something like this?

So no matter how much Marilyn scolded her over the phone, it didn't work; she just wouldn't go.

She felt she had no face left to face Sebastian.

As soon as the film paycheck came in, she transferred it to him.

But this time, Sebastian actually returned the money, refusing to accept it.

Stephanie was at her wits' end.

Suddenly, Gillian burst into the dorm: "Steph, why are you still in bed? It's Maddie's birthday today; she's having a birthday dinner at home, and we're both invited. Did you forget?"

Stephanie looked troubled. "No, I didn't forget. I even prepared the gift. look, it's the latest Swarovski necklace."

"So why are you still in bed? What time is it?"

"Oh, I've already changed my clothes and am ready to go."

"You're wearing this?"

"What else?"

"Don't you remember Maddie asked us to wear gowns?"

"It's too cold to wear a gown in winter."

"But if everyone else is wearing a gown and we aren't, it would be so embarrassing... It's Ms. Maddie's birthday dinner; there will be a lot of people, we can embarrass

ver

ourselves, but we can't embarrass Maddie!"

"So... change into a gown?"

"Do you have one?"

"Yes, I do. Sebastian had a designer make a lot of gowns for me; I have two here in the dorm, and the rest are in the castle. Do you have one, Gillian?"

"I just got mine; that's why I just got back! Hurry up and get changed; we're running out of time."NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
