Chapter 515 Blind Dates For Sebastian
“Am I scary?” asked Christina with confusion as she watched Sebastian flee.
Nathaniel smiled affectionately. “Of course not. You’re too cute to look scary.”
Everyone loved hearing sweet nothings, including Christina.
Satisfied, she consumed two mouthfuls of food. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and she turned her line of sight toward him. “Does Sebastian have a girlfriend?”
Nathaniel paused his movement and contemplated the answer. “I don’t think so.”
“Then he doesn’t have one,” asserted Christina. Since Nathaniel’s a workaholic, as his assistant, Sebastian is probably also a workaholic. Not to mention Sebastian has to be on standby twenty-four hours. How can someone like him have time to find a girlfriend when he has to serve his boss at a moment’s notice?
“Why did you ask that?” Nathaniel sent a small piece of beef into Christina’s mouth.
While chewing, she answered, “Sebastian’s almost thirty years old, yet he still hasn’t found a partner. I think his family’s probably panicking about it.”
Nathaniel didn’t believe it was a serious issue because he got together with Christina after crossing the thirty-year-old mark.
When she realized he didn’t register the severity of the issue, she immediately swallowed her half- chewed beef. “You’re such an inhumane boss. How can you not care even a little about your subordinate’s life? It’s as if you’re trying to keep riding a horse without feeding it any grass!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Christina turned a casual topic into a serious one after only a few exchanges.
Feeling aggrieved, Nathaniel stared at her furrowed eyebrows. “How about I give him a few days of leave so he can find a potential partner?”
Upon hearing that, Christina relaxed her frown. However, when she thought about Sebastian having a blind date in the park’s blind date corner, she predicted it would become a nightmare.
Hence, she shook her head. “That’s not good enough.”
Seeing that she rejected his idea, Nathaniel didn’t know what else to suggest because he didn’t have much experience on the matter.
After an earnest contemplation, Christina eyed him. “Don’t you know plenty of exceptional single women? How about you ask them to attend a blind date with Sebastian?”
“I don’t know any,” clarified Nathaniel immediately.
Christina glanced at him skeptically. I know Mrs. Hadley introduced many women to Nathaniel when she still disliked me. As such, he definitely knows a few women. Even though Sebastian is the CEO’s special assistant, he exercises the authority of the vice CEO, and his yearly salary is around five million. From those facts alone, he’s already a lot more outstanding than a small-time entrepreneur
In the end, Nathaniel obeyed Christina’s order and arranged a blind date for Sebastian.
However, to prevent Sebastian from opposing the idea, no one told him he was attending a blind date.
Hence, he initially thought he was only meeting with a female business partner.
However, after meeting her, he couldn’t hold his ground against the enthusiasm she displayed.
Usually, he would help Nathaniel prevent women from approaching the latter. Therefore, he was quite skilled at dealing with scenarios like that. However, when he had to face flirtations directed at him, he
didn’t know what to do.
He felt as if he was sitting on needles for over ten minutes.
When Sebastian saw the woman stretching her hand toward him, he was so startled that he leaped from his chair and tossed out an excuse. “I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of in the company, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Without hesitation, he turned around and bolted away as if there was a beast chasing after him.
“Ah!” Just as Sebastian opened the cafe door and strode out of the building, he bumped into a woman holding a cup.
The drink in her hand was immediately spilled on both of their clothes.
“I’m sorry,” apologized Sebastian.
The woman was wearing a baseball cap. First, she peered at her drink, which was splashed on the ground. Then, she glanced at Sebastian.
They locked gazes.
The woman appeared fair and clean. She had a pair of shimmering eyes and had applied pink lipstick to her lips.
The moment they made eye contact, Sebastian felt his heart pound uncontrollably.
“Don’t you have eyes, old man? Watch where you’re going!” Victoria Lesley frowned at Sebastian. He’s quite handsome, but he’s clearly several years older than me.
Old man? Sebastian snapped back to his senses. I can’t believe someone called me an old man. I’m not that old!
“I’m sorry for dirtying your clothes. I’ll compensate you for it,” said Sebastian as he glanced at Victoria’s tainted dress.
However, Victoria arched her eyebrow indifferently. “That’s an archaic pickup line, old man.”
Just as she finished her sentence, she hastily strode into the cafe to meet her friend because she worried Sebastian would ask for her WhatsApp.
Reflexively, Sebastian glanced at her back.
Upon returning to the company, he was distracted while working in the afternoon.
Nathaniel, after observing Sebastian’s demeanor, called Christina to inform her of the situation.
In response, Christina remarked, “It must’ve been an issue with your taste. I bet you didn’t arrange for a gorgeous lady to meet with Sebastian.”
Nathaniel refused to believe she was right, so he arranged more blind dates between Sebastian and different types of beauties.
Still, every time Sebastian returned, he appeared upset.
Upon witnessing his assistant’s reaction, Nathaniel was puzzled. Do I really have awful taste?
Just as Nathaniel was deep in thought, Sebastian entered the office expressionlessly and submitted his report as always.
Nathaniel listened before relaying his orders.
After a while, they wrapped up their work discussion. However, Sebastian remained unmoving.
Therefore, Nathaniel asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Can you stop arranging blind dates for me, Mr. Hadley?” Initially, Sebastian thought he was merely meeting with clients and suffered workplace harassment.
After he thoroughly thought about his experiences, he speculated that Nathaniel had been arranging blind. dates for him.
Hence, he steeled himself and confronted his boss about it.
Sebastian assumed Nathaniel would make things difficult for him, but the latter simply waved his hand. “All right, then. I understand.”
Relieved, Sebastian spun on his heel and was about to exit the office when he heard Nathaniel speaking on the phone behind him. “I told you this wouldn’t work, Christina…”
When Sebastian caught that, he knitted his eyebrows. What do my blind dates have anything to do with Mrs. Hadley?
