Ch. 38MY OH MY


Amelie was right, Sebastian really only focused on his cell phone. As long as Amelie was gone, Sebastian would rather stare at his phone than talk to me. He's look rude in reality because he ignores me, but he's actually texting me. Oh, my God, that's so funny.

"Later, when my food has come, I send the photo."I read Sebastian's message with a smile.

"Excuse me, Can I ask you something? What are you busy with now?"I tried to open up a conversation with Sebastian directly.

However, he did not answer, his gaze was still fixed on his mobile phone, it seemed that he did not hear me at all. I cleared my throat again, and Sebastian finally looked at me while frowning slightly. "Yes? I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

Huft, why is the reaction in the real world and through messages can be so different? It's like having two personalities.

"Umm, that's, I ask, What are you busy with right now..."I repeat my question.

"Oh, the hustle and bustle? Yeah... ehm, because I just graduated, now I want to relax while looking for a suitable job," he replied in a flat tone. Sebastian smoothed his hair, then tilted his head slightly. I gulped when I saw his exposed neck as he took off his jacket, leaving a black T-shirt revealing his neck muscles.

Beautiful collarbones are supplemented by an interesting shape of the trap muscles. I was reminded of her athletic body—almost perfect biceps, back, shoulders, legs and chest, a truly masculine appearance. The muscles formed by regular exercise support his neck firmly, making Sebastian appear firm and hard.

MY goodness Raveline! Wake up! El... you're not being Miss Rose! Oh, my Gosh... I was almost helpless just by looking at Sebastian's appearance wearing a regular T-shirt.

I shook my head slowly, trying to regain consciousness.

"What is it, Raveline?"I was shocked when my shoulder snapped. "Why are your cheeks so red, huh?"Amelie frowned in wonder. Sebastian, who was folding his jacket, also looked at me in surprise.

Oh, My God! I gulped, hurriedly rubbed my cheeks with a confused smile, trying to find a reasonable excuse. I certainly can't tell you the truth if I'm imagining how charming Sebastian body is.

"I don't know, but suddenly I feel hot..."Oh, what kind of ridiculous excuse is this, Raveline! I bit my lip, realizing how absurd the excuse I had just uttered was.

"You're sick?"Amelie looked at me anxiously for a moment. Quickly I shook my head. "No, I just feel a bit hot, probably because the air here is hot ... I think it was hot because of the air in the restaurant."

"Yes, it's a little hot," Sebastian chimed in, keeping Amelie from asking further. "Maybe because the restaurant is crowded, so the air conditioning does not feel cold," Amelie then concluded.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, though perhaps unintentionally, Sebastian's remarks helped distract attention. At the same time, a waiter came to deliver the order for the three of us, saving me from Amelie's curiosity.

Maybe it's because the restaurant is busy, our food is delivered late, or maybe it's because we are willing to share a table so we get an extra meal bonus.

"Wow, got a bonus pizza and pasta, the size is quite large!"Smiling Amelie looks happy.

His hand was about to reach for a slice of pizza when Sebastian suddenly brushed it off softly.

"Wait a minute!"Sebastian glared at his sister.

"Why, Bastian?"

"Let me take a picture first!"Sebastian began to photograph the dishes that had just been served at the table.

"Huh? When did you start taking pictures of food in restaurants? That's usually my thing!"Amelie giggled. I shut my mouth trying to hold back laughter.

Sebastian ignored Amelie's comments and continued photographing. When he finished, he sat down and focused on his phone.

"You have a boyfriend, right!"Amelie started eating while watching Sebastian's movements. "Your behavior is very suspicious, you know!"

Sebastian remained indifferent, busy with his cell phone. I try to focus on my food. Shortly thereafter, my backup phone vibrated again. I'm sure it must have been Sebastian who sent the photo he just took. However, I deliberately didn't open the phone right away, worried that Amelie or even Sebastian would become suspicious.

Once the situation felt safe, I unlocked my backup phone. Sure enough, an incoming message notification appears.

"Miss Rose, I've never done anything as silly as this, but I'm willing to take this picture despite my sister repeatedly taunting me," Mr. B wrote, accompanied by a shy smile emoji. Aih, so cute! The two photos Sebastian took earlier are now on my phone screen. Hmm, not bad for his photographing skills either. Unknowingly, I smiled to myself.

Amelie is now clearing her throat while nudging my arm. "Ehem, El, you're just like my brother, are you addicted to your phone? I smiled, but who the hell was talking to?"Amelie smiled as she bribed the pizza into her mouth.

"Um, sorry, but I can't seem to tell you Amelie ..."I chuckled teasing Amelie.

"I'm pretty sure you have a boyfriend too, huh?"Amelie laughed, looking at me.

"Shh! Don't mess with Amelie !"Sebastian glared at his sister. I think I'm too sure I'm being defended by Sebastian

"What the hell, you are ... Come on, let's get to know the mother-in-law!"Amelie answered lightly.

"Don't be fussy! This is also another effort. Just pray that he will accept a declaration of love from me."Sebastian replied in an equally light tone.

Hearing that, I who had just taken a sip of water, immediately choked. Hearing that conversation, i coughed softly. I patted my chest slowly while closing my mouth.

To be honest, when i heard Sebastian's statement about trying to express his feelings. I suddenly felt like it was directed at me, uhm, I mean Miss Rose. Sebastian doesn't know who the real Miss Rose is. I wondered what would happen if the two of them, Amelie and Sebastian, found out that I was the Miss Rose Sebastian was talking about.
