The next day passed peacefully and then came the third day—the day of Roxanne's departure. That afternoon, someone arrived to do her styling. The past few days had been calm, but Roxanne wasn't letting her guard down.
She had a strong gut feeling that Liana wouldn't be able to hold back for three whole days.
It was funny, really. Sebastian had avoided going to the office altogether just to hide from Liana. He probably knew deep down that he couldn't say no to her. So, his plan was simple—just hide for three days and hope the time would pass.
No doubt, Sebastian was decisive and sharp in the business world—fast, ruthless, and effective. But when it came to relationships, he was a coward. He wanted to keep both women by his side, but in the end, he would lose both.
When Roxanne was done with hair and makeup and was dressed in her gown, she stood in front of the mirror. She looked like a mermaid princess gliding freely through the sea.
Her features were striking to begin with, and the dreamy, seductive blue mermaid gown only amplified her looks. The stylist had given her loose, voluminous waves that exuded sensuality. She looked radiant.
Her phone lit up with a message from Sebastian. "Come out."
Roxanne picked up her pearl clutch and placed her phone inside. Just as she was about to close it, the screen lit up again.
Liana: "I have a huge surprise for you."
Roxanne's lips curved into a smile.
Over the past three days, she had dined with Sebastian, gone shopping with him, and shared moments that felt like a romantic relationship. Yet not once had she provoked Liana.
Well, Liana didn't need anyone to provoke her. She could work herself up just fine.
Roxanne didn't reply, but a look of amusement flickered across her face. She walked out calmly.
Sebastian had pulled up in his silver Rolls-Royce. The car was sleek and elegant, and its door was already open. He sat inside with his long, lean figure composed and upright. There was an innate nobility about him, with his long legs casually stretched out in a lazy yet commanding posture.
