By this hour, the sky had clouded into darkness as the day's schedule wrapped up. Selina left Sterling Haven with Sean after bidding farewell to her friend, Annabelle.
Instead of returning home, Selina decided to accompany Sean to a five-star restaurant after he requested her company for dinner. Since she was hungry, she couldn't refuse—anything was better than returning early to a space occupied by someone she was trying to avoid.
The moment the car pulled over in front of the restaurant, Selina lifted her gaze, only to find Sean's driver staring at her through the mirror again.
Noticing the curious tension, Sean smiled softly.
"Selina, meet my assistant, Valerie," Sean introduced them. "She has been working with me for the past four years, since I founded my company. She makes this hectic lifestyle a bit easier."
"Ahh… sounds like a trustworthy, close person," Selina muttered, meeting Valarie's knowing gaze in the rearview mirror for the second time.
