The next morning, Jasmine woke up and looked at Sebastian. They stayed up the whole night watching movies, talking, eating, and also making out. Jasmine smiled and got up and brush her hair. She went to the bathroom and wash her was and brush her teeth, she went downstairs and put on the coffee maker, and got coffee pods. She got breakfast ready. Sebastian felt the space beside him and woke up and didn't see Jasmine. He got up and went and washed his face and brush his teeth and went downstairs.
He went to the kitchen and saw Jasmine. He walked up behind her and hugged her from behind. She smiled and looked at him from the side. He smiled and pulled her close and laid on her neck and rubbed his nose to smell her.
"Well, Good Morning~," She said and smiled.
"It is a Good Morning~," He said and kissed her neck.
"I'm making breakfast. I know you like coffee and avocado toast," She said and gave him access to her neck.
"Well, that's lovely. Is this what it's like to date you because if it is, then I need to take you off the dating market quickly then," He siad and smiled.
"Well, what are you waiting on?~" she flirted and gave him his plate and made his coffee, and gave him.
"Well, who knows," He said and kissed her cheek and went to sit and eat.
She blushed and bit her lips and made her toast.
Hours passed and they were working. Sebastian has been going to sites and other companies for meetings. Jasmine stayed at the company and ordered food and took calls and printed the meeting agenda for the meeting tomorrow. Ryle came as promised and went out with Jasmine to get lunch. Jasmine missed Sebastian. She hardly had time to see him. Amanda walked up to her and Jasmine looked at her and rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Well, hello, hello. Missed me?" Amanda asked and smiled as she fixed her makeup.
"Well, no I didn't. I enjoyed not seeing you," Jasmine smiled.
"Well, I missed you because I couldn't get you away from Sebastian,"
"Amanda, what is your problem with me?!" Jasmine shouted and looked at Amanda.
Amanda put the makeup mirror in her bag and looked at Jasmine and glared at her,
"All I have to say to you is watch your back or something bad will happen to you," Amanda said in a threatening voice.
Amanda grits her teeth and walked away. Jasmine gulped and looked at Amanda as she left. Jasmine packed her bags and left. Sebastian told her that she can leave when she doesn't see him coming back.
Sebastian reached home at midnight. He took off his suit and went to bathe and wash his hair and brush his teeth. He went to his bed and lay down. Mia will be coming back to him tomorrow so he will be picking her up in the evening.
He turned off the light and sighed and covered up and went to sleep. Every night is the same. Same nightmare. Same as waking up and crying. Same guilt that has been buried inside ever since. The same tears ran down his face and cried and screamed. Sebastian was in his bed tossing and turning. He shot up and breathed heavily.
"MOM! I'm sorry" he said as he sat up and brought his knees to his chest and cried. His guilt was buried deep but would always come up when he missed his mom. His mom. His rock and strength.
This guilt he has been carrying since he was 17. He was so angry at her that she didn't come to his game. She got in a drunk driving accident and died on the spot. When they told him he felt something die inside him that day. After that, he stopped playing football and got silent and cold. He wished he just understood that his mom was busy. He wishes he had just waited instead of being a brat and cocky
The next day he sat in the meeting. Cold. Ice-cold glare looked into the room where everyone was speaking. Usually, he'll be happy but right now he isn't. The nightmare kept him up all night and he didn't get a good rest after that so he was tired and not in the mood with these old geezers. Everyone was talking above everyone and trying to get their points across. They wanted the boss of Royal Publishing to not take on a new partner. He looked at them while he was brewing in anger and giving them all a cold glare. His signature cold glare. He slammed his hands on the desk and looked at them his assistant was shaking in her chair and he looked at her.
"Who are you all to tell me what to do?" he asked in his cold voice and they all sat quietly until one of them opened his mouth talking nonsense to the boss.
"WE ARE NOT TAKING ON THE NEW COMPANY! IF YOU TAKE THEM ON I WILL LEAVE WITH ALL MY MONEY!" the old man said as he shouted at Sebastian.
"Well go on! I'm not holding the door! But once you leave remember that I own the majority of your old, broken-down company and I'm holding your company up!" Sebastian said and the old man grits his teeth and saw down quietly.
"THIS IS MY COMPANY AND I'LL DO AS I PLEASE AND IF YOU ALL DON'T LIKE IT THEN GO!" he shouted but they all sat down.
Everyone in that office relies on Royals Publishing and they knew it so no one dared to object to Sebastian's decision. Sebastian sat back down and looked at them and glared at them. They all sat there quietly and Jasmine looked at them and sighed. When the meeting was done they all left. He was angry at all those old men and didn't like it. Jasmine packed up and looked at him and soothe him. He nodded and they both walked to the elevator and went in but the elevator cable snapped and it was falling. He held on to Jasmine.
"Jasmine! Hold on!!"
