AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane stood up with an apologetic expression on her face and asked:

– I’m sorry. Did we wake you up?

Sebastien rolled his eyes at Enzo, who was slumped on the couch, before saying softly:

– You should rest early because you have classes tomorrow.

Hearing this, Roxane turned to look at Enzo with a slightly worried expression.

Enzo knew it was late, so he waved his hand and said:

– Go to bed quickly. I’m doing well.

She nodded.

“Don’t worry, brother. I won’t let Diego file a complaint or sue you.

Enzo’s anger increased again at the mention of Diego. However, in front of his sister, he forced a smile on his face and said:

– Just focus on your studies. Don’t worry about adults.

Roxane pouted. Her brother was only a few years older than her. How come he was an adult but she wasn’t?

After she went up, Sebastian raised his leg and kicked Enzo. And say :

– The lawyers will handle the Rios family case tomorrow. You can get lost now.

Enzo glanced at him and said:

– No need. I can solve this problem myself.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sebastian sneered.

-How are you going to solve it? Are you planning to let your sister beg the Rios family?

Enzo immediately sat up and looked at Sebastian like he was looking at an idiot.

-Are you crazy or stupid? Even if I have to beat that bastard Diego Rios to death, I still won’t allow Roxane to beg him.

Sebastien did not respond. Instead, he picked up the glass of water Roxane had poured for Enzo and took a sip.

Enzo lay down on the sofa before saying:

“I don’t want to go home right now, so I’m going to borrow one of your spare rooms.

If he returned home, his parents harassed him constantly. It was too boring.

“Do what you want,” said Sebastien. After finishing drinking from the glass, he went upstairs.

When Enzo reached for the glass of water, he finally found that it was empty. He said sadly:

– P*t*n! How can you finish your guest’s drink?

…

The sky was clear when Roxane woke up. She quickly changed and went downstairs.

She looked angry with herself when she passed the butler. She asked :

– I woke up late. Has Sebastien already had lunch?

The butler replied with a smile:

– Mr. and Mr. Alvarez have already had breakfast and gone to work together.

Roxane asked:

-Did my brother stay last night?

The butler nodded.

Roxane brushed aside her hair. If she had known sooner, she would have slept a little longer. She had stayed up too late last night.

“Madam, please come with me for a moment,” the butler said suddenly.

– Hmm?

She followed the butler upstairs again, perplexed. She had no idea what the butler wanted.

The butler pushed open the door next to his room and made an inviting gesture.

When she entered, she saw a comfortable and bright studio.

The curtains were simple and elegant. They were blue and matched with white lace. A few pots of plants and flowers lined the windowsill. Oil paintings hanging on the wall.

With just a glance, Roxane noticed that the paintings were from a few famous painters and were not cheap.

There was a white shelf on the other side. Various paints and painting tools could be seen on it. There was also a round table with tea and snacks on it, and an oval-shaped armchair stood next to it.

The easel was placed in the center of the room with a white rattan chair and a white floor lamp next to it.

– This …

She looked at the butler with eyes bright with excitement.

The butler smiled and replied:

– This is the studio that Monsieur asked us to set up for you.

– Is this my workshop?

Roxane asked in a trance.

“It means I don’t have to draw in my room anymore.”

The butler nodded.

– Madam, tell me if there is anything that displeases you. I will have someone change it immediately.

She shook her head quickly.

– It’s not necessary. I really like.

Then, as if she realized something, a shy smile appeared on her face.

“So, ma’am, take your time. I will leave now, the butler said, bowing slightly before leaving.

Roxane stood alone in the workshop, slowly admiring the furnishings, paint and wallpaper. Everything was clearly very expensive. She wondered if Sebastian had personally prepared this for her.

A strange emotion welled up in her heart as she quickly sent a WeChat message to Sebastian.

Roxane: Thank you for preparing a studio for me. I really like.

Then she hesitated for a moment before sending another message.

Roxane: How much do the paint supplies on the shelves cost? I will transfer the money to you.

During office hours, she did not expect to receive a quick response from Sebastian. Therefore, she was slightly surprised when his message arrived.

Sebastien: No need.

Before she could respond, another message arrived.

Sebastian: Consider it a late birthday present.

She felt her heart move as she heard this. Since he said it, she hasn’t insisted on paying him back.

Roxane: Thank you. I really like it.

…

At the same time.

Sebastien did not respond to Roxane’s message, but he did not put his phone away either. His dark eyes looked at the image of a kitten lying with its belly exposed on the screen. His lips curled into a slight smile as he imagined her flirtatious.

At this moment, the superiors in the meeting room were slightly shocked and taken aback.

He usually didn’t look at his phone during meetings. However, this time he not only looked at his phone, but he even smiled. They couldn’t help but speculate if he was in love.

Meanwhile, Enzo, who was sitting on the left side of Sebastian, saw the spring smile on Sebastian’s face and frowned slightly. His intuition told him that the beast next to him was definitely texting his sister.

“Very good! You dare to cheekily flirt with my sister in front of me.”
