Chapter 9
BLAIRE
I was jolted awake when I heard a loud voice. I rubbed my eyes as I tried to get a hold of what was going on. I looked around my surroundings, and it slowly dawned on me where I was. I almost forgot that I locked myself inside the walk-in closet and spent the night here. I badly wanted to get away from Sebastian, and I’d rather stay here on this uncomfortable couch than sleep in that king-size bed.
“What do you mean you didn’t see any sign of her? Have you checked all the CCTV?” He stayed silent for a minute before yelling again. “Then, how the hell did she manage to leave? What is she, a ghost?” he said
sarcastically. “Tell everyone that no one is allowed to rest until you find her. If you don’t, it will be your head!” he threatened.
I glanced at the clock and noticed that it was only five in the morning. I have been missing all night, and he only noticed it this morning?
I hissed, “I’m guessing he just returned. That’s the only possible reason. why he only noticed it then.” I grabbed my robe and put it on. I wanted to let him go crazy around looking for me for a little longer, but then I remembered that I needed to go back to the hospital to check on my
father.
I walk to the door and open it. Sebastian quickly shifted his gaze tow me when he heard the creaking of the door. I looked at him with lazy It didn’t fail my eyes when he dropped his jaw when he finally realized that I had been hiding in the closet the whole time.
“Nevermind. She’s here,” he said to the person he was talking to on the other line before hanging up the phone. “Have you been here all night?” he asked before quickly taking the distance between us until our faces were inches away from each other.
Unlike yesterday, I’m completely in my senses now. I’m aware that I shouldn’t put myself in a compromising position whenever Sebastian is around. So without second thought, I immediately moved away and put distance between them.

Chapter 9
“Yes, I have spent the whole night inside the closet, yet you only notice it now. I wonder why it is, Sebastian.”I asked him sarcastically, despite knowing exactly the reason why he hadn’t noticed it until now. It’s because he clearly spent the whole night with Catherine.
“Catherine is in no good state right now.”
“I believe I have to stop you right there. I don’t care whatever the hell it is that you did with her last night. I have no interest at all. Why do you think I asked for divorce in the first place? You can spend the whole week with her, and I wouldn’t care. Just sign-the papers, and I’ll be out of your hair,” I said, shrugging my shoulders as if it weren’t a big thing.
He remained silent. I get a chance to stare at him for a little while. I noticed his tossled hair, the dark circle under his eyes, and his loosened. tie. He looks like he aged overnight. He looked so stressed.

That will never happen, Blaire,” he answered coldly, with the same iciness. in his eyes. He has always been serious, but I’ve never seen him like this. It was like a totally different side of him that I had never known before..
I was about to say something when I heard a knock coming from the door. I rolled my eyes when I heard it.
“Sebastian, are you up?” said Catherine from the other side of the door,
“Your girlfriend is looking for you, Sebastian,” I said before turning my back on him and walking straight to the bathroom. I have a lot more. things to deal with today than waste my time with their antics. I’d rather waste my energy taking care of my father than talking to the two of them
I can barely hear the sound of their voices inside the bathroom. Though I’m not really interested in what they’re talking about, I couldn’t help but be curious. I tried pressing my ear against the door, but I couldn’t hear anything. After a couple of minutes of trying, I finally gave up. I eventually focus on taking a bath and preparing myself.
It took me a good amount of time before I finally finished fixing myself. I blow-dried my hair and put on a little make-up before heading out of the bathroom. Though I noticed Sebastian sitting on the bed while facing his laptop, I pretended that I didn’t see him. I went straight to the closet.

Chapter 9
I went straight to the drawer and ran my hand across the clothes hanging in the closet. It was too late when I realized that I had left all my clothes in the other room. I was wearing nothing under my thick bathrobe. I groaned in frustration. I quickly turned around and went out of the closet, but I wasn’t expecting to bump into a hard and chiseled chest. My eyes widen when I am facing the familiar chest of Sebastian Foster. I gulped. when I noticed that he was wearing nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist.
I pushed him as hard as I could the moment I got back to my senses. “What are you doing here? Get out of my way,” I grunted before rolling my eyes at him.
“Now, I’m not allowed to enter my own closet,” he asked sarcastically.
“If you didn’t insist that I share a room with you, we wouldn’t be in this kind of situation,” I replied, raising my eyebrow.
He just smirked. “What’s mine is yours. It doesn’t make sense for us to use a different room,” he said to justify his decision.
“Whatever,” I replied before walking out of the closet. I hadn’t even
reached the door when I heard his voice again.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.
“I’m going to get my stuff, obviously.”
“Wearing that?” he said, frowning as he looked at me from head to toe.
“You don’t expect me to wear my night gown going out, do you?”
He growled inwardly, “Stay here. I’ll get it.”
So, he can go to Catherine’s room again? I don’t think so.
“You can’t get enough of my sister, can you? You’ll get every chance you get to go into her room,” I said before even thinking that I sound like a jealous. wife.
But you are, said the tiny voice inside at the back of my head,

“When are you going to stop with this nonsense? I went to see Catherine as a good friend.” He was exasperated.
I just shrugged my shoulders, staring straight into his eyes as I raised my eyebrow. I was looking at him intently, as if I were challenging him. In the end, he blew a loud breath in resignation. He looked away and walked toward the phone. I was watching him closely, wondering what he was planning to do next.
“Candice, bring all Blaire’s stuff into our room,” he said before hanging up the phone. “Better?” he said when he shifted his attention towards me.
Instead of answering, I responded by rolling my eyes at him. And before I knew it, I found him standing in front of me in a blink of an eye.
“What the—-h-how did you get here so fast?” I said it in surprise. I automatically took a step back.
“Didn’t I warn you about rolling your eyes at me?” He said almost a whisper as he continued to take a step forward, slowly closing the distance between us.
