Matthew and Keith were in the middle of signing the contract when they saw Sebastian’s imposing figure stride into the room. The expressions on all three of their faces shifted.
Natalie was furious. What was he doing here again? Why did she keep running into him lately? Before the divorce, she had dreamed of him coming home, but her dreams had always remained just that.
Matthew finished signing his name and handed the contract to Keith. “Mr. Jones, it’s signed. A pleasure doing business with you.”
Keith smiled warmly, his voice as gentle as a spring rain. “Thank you for your trust, Mr. Monroe. The pleasure is all mine.”
Joanna and Yvonne, who had followed Sebastian in, were stunned. Matthew was here too? And they were talking about a successful collaboration? Joanna’s face fell. Damn it, Natalie. So, she was here to sign a deal. How could a country bumpkin like her be in a place like this? Joanna had no idea Natalie was now a fashion designer.
Sebastian walked over and sat down next to Natalie, his powerful presence filling the space.
Natalie looked at him and asked, “Mr. Griffith, can I help you?”
His eyes were cold as they met hers. “No. I was just passing by and saw you, so I came to say hello.”
Natalie was speechless. Just passing by? They were in a private room, not on the street. What a terrible excuse.
Joanna frowned. Was Sebastian actually trying to be considerate of Natalie’s feelings?
Natalie spoke again, her tone apologetic but firm. “I’m sorry, Mr. Griffith, but we’re about to have lunch. Please don’t disturb us.”
She was clearly telling him to leave.
Sebastian’s eyes darkened, and he fought to control his anger. “When are you coming home? I’ll pick you up.”
