Sebastian walked into the house and found Natalie stretched out on the sofa, her eyes fixed on her laptop screen.

She had cucumber slices plastered to her face, and one of her hands was holding a large tumbler with a straw peeking out of its rim.

“You’re back? Have you eaten yet?”

She had heard him arrive, yet she just couldn’t bear to miss a second of the TV series she was watching.

Sebastian found her endearing.

“I already had dinner with a friend,” he said softly.

Noticing that her long, slender legs were bare, he quietly fetched the gray blanket from the sofa and draped it over them before plopping down next to her.

“How did your job interview go?” Natalie perked up.

She closed her laptop, then grabbed the cucumber pieces from her face and popped them into her mouth.

“You won’t believe what I’m about to say,” she said seriously.

But Sebastian already knew everything.

Chuckling under his breath, he leaned back and listened intently as Natalie recounted the day’s events.

“Maybe the company just values your talents,” Sebastian said lightly when she was done.

“I saw your resume yesterday, and even I think that you have excellent skills.”

Natalie had been looking forward to his shocked face, so she was caught off-guard by his reaction.

Sebastian didn’t seem the slightest bit surprised.

“Maybe,” she murmured.

In the end, Natalie brushed it off, thinking that the gravity of the situation might be beyond his understanding.

She opened her laptop again, meaning to carry on with her series.

But then she paused at the last minute, and looked back at Sebastian.

He was reading a magazine beside her, looking all relaxed and unbothered.

His jacket had faded into a dull yellow color, and his jeans were worn-out, but his face more than made up for his clothes.

If she didn’t know better, she would have even thought they were from vintage designer brands and he had dressed this way on purpose.
