“Miss Napier, then I will go first
Having already welcomed him, she had no need to remain any longer
Scarlee halted her as she was turning to leave
“Scarlett, don’t rush off. Please book a hotel for Mr. Gatsby. When it’s done, I’ll need you to take them

Just as Scarlett was about to refuse, Scarlee revealed a pleading expression. “I understand that you’re
keen to leave your job, but before you do, this is still part of your dunes. So, if you could just welcome
Mr. Gatsby today, I’ll approve your resignation when you get back, alright?”
Scarlee’s words were somewhat menacing, yet when she contemplated how she could resign when
she returned, Scarlett did not decline
After asking Dev’s assistant for their identity information, she sat outside the private room, took out her
phone, and booked a hotel
YH had specially arranged this dinner to facilitate the reconciliation between her and the Gatsby
Group.
The president, executives, and other such people naturally came to participate
She, a small assistant, did not need to show up; instead, she waited outside, ready to take orders.
After booking the hotel, she disembarked the plane and made plans to use the restroom.
When she rose, she was a bit disoriented and felt lightheaded, nearly stumbling to the ground
Fortunately, a broad hand caught her waist just in time, steadying her whole body.
“Miss Sales, what’s wrong?”
Leaning into his arms with her strength, Scarlett eased for a while before looking up at the person who
had aided her.
She felt dizzy and her vision was blurry due to the lack of blood in her brain.
Seeing Dev’s outline clearly, she quickly pushed him away.
“It’s alright. I’m just experiencing a bit of hypoglycemia.”
After she had firushed speaking, she softly thanked him.
Dev noticed her face was pale and slightly creased with a frown.
“Are you sick?”
“No.”
Scarlett shook her head.
Seeing her deliberately keeping a distance from him, Dev refrained from asking any further questions,
He said he was going to the bathroom and then walked away.
Scarlett wanted to go to the bathroom, but she was feeling too dizzy to do so.
She could only grip the door frame and lower herself back down
Fortunately, the dizzy symptoms were fleeting and she quickly recovered.
As she was about to get up to go to the bathroom again, she inadvertently spotted Sebastian standing
at the elevator door.
He was wearing a navy blue suit tailored to fit his tall, straight figure with a slender silhouette.
The warm yellow light shone on his body, endowing him with a faint halo, making him appear noble and
abstinent. The face buried in the dim light was deeply three-dimensional, taking one’s breath away. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He had been standing there for what seemed like an eternity.
Upon seeing him, Scarlett felt a tinge of nervousness.
As she was pondering whether to steer clear of him, he suddenly advanced towards her with his
lengthy and straight legs.
Scarlett clenched her cell phone tightly and, unable to avoid it, quickly turned her body sideways, her
back facing him. Her body was once again met with the sinister and cold gaze behind her.
She could sense the chill of the air gradually enveloping her.
Gripping her phone tighter, she felt a little breathless.
“Do you want me to open the door by myself?”
A chillingly terrifying tone reverberated above her head.
Scarlett quickly lowered her head and, without realizing the man behind her was so close, spun
around.
She sprang up, her slender, supple frame colliding with the hard, muscular chest.
