True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Claudia stared at her phone, thinking that she had misheard it. Her mind was a blank. She could not believe her ears at all.

"Am I dreaming?" Claudia muttered as she raised the phone back to her ear. "What did you say?" she asked.

"I said, I like you!" Sebastian repeated. "That's right. You didn't hear wrongly."

"How is this possible?" Claudia retorted at once.

Just a while ago, Sebastian was mocking her, acting like there was no way he would ever think of her as something more. Why did he suddenly change his attitude? Claudia wondered. Claudia's first reaction was to question him. She felt it was just a prank.

"Claudia, I know that you don't believe me. You must be doubting me. So, tell me where you are right now. I'll go to find you and tell you personally," Sebastian said anxiously.

"I'm downstairs. I'm just about to head up. However, what you said makes me feel very helpless. Can you not do this? Can you act normally?" Claudia still did not believe a word Sebastian had said. She felt that if she believed everything he said, she would end up feeling more miserable.

Sebastian had never told her that he liked her, so how could he suddenly fall for her just like that?

It could not be true.

"Okay. I'll be there soon. Wait for me. By the way, tell Cordon to leave."

"Why do you want him to leave? Is there anything you want to say that he can't hear?" Claudia retorted.

"I don't mind confessing my love to you in front of Cordon, but are you sure you want everyone to know about that?"

"Sebastian, what are you doing? Can you please act normally? Stop fooling around." Claudia felt that she could not accept being toyed around by him, so she did not want to get her hopes up. All she wanted was to live a quiet life.

"I see you," Sebastian said as he walked out of the elevator.

From a distance, Sebastian could see Claudia standing there with Cordon right next to her. Cordon's eyes were glued on Claudia, and he never looked away.

Sebastian could only imagine how much Cordon liked Claudia. At that point in time, he could no longer deny that he had been greatly agitated.

First of all, he was agitated by Claudia's indifference. Besides that, he was agitated by the confirmation of Sylvia's relationship with Kendrix. Lastly, he was also agitated by Cordon's presence. Nothing was going according to his original plan anymore.

It seemed like the more time passed, the more his plans got foiled.

Sebastian thought that if he still did not take any action, he might really lose Claudia.

Because of that, after he saw Kendrix a while ago, he suddenly had the impulse to face his feelings. He felt that he should be braver. If Kendrix could do it, why couldn't he?

That was why Sebastian decided to take action.

It was also only after getting agitated that he finally decided to be braver.

Sebastian started walking toward Claudia. She also saw him walking out of the building.

They looked at each other from afar. Sebastian's voice could still be heard on Claudia's phone.

He said, "You might not believe it, but I've been struggling with this matter for a while. And I have to admit that you've won."

When Claudia saw Sebastian walking toward her with a solemn face, she felt like he did not seem to be joking. She was a little flustered.

Claudia immediately hung up the

phone. She looked at Cordon and

said, "Cordon, can you leave for a while? I'll treat you to dinner today. I still have something urgent to deal with."

There was a pleading look in her eyes. Although Cordon was reluctant to leave, he smiled slightly and said, "What about the takeout?"

"You should take it with you. Consider it as my treat," Claudia replied. "I really have something important that I need to deal with."

Cordon smiled. "You don't have to say anything else. There's no need for us to be so polite to each other."

"Okay." Claudia nodded.

With that, Cordon left.

As he walked away with the takeout, Claudia thought that he looked a little lonely. However, she did not have any time to care about that. Soon, Sebastian was in front of Claudia.

Tall and strapping, he exuded a dignified air. He was expressionless, but it made him look even more serious. And that made Claudia feel inexplicably flustered.

She really did not know whether Sebastian was toying with her, or if he was really expressing his love for her.

Whatever it was, Claudia kept telling herself that she needed to be clear-headed.

Sebastian looked at her solemnly and said, "Come with me."

Stunned, she did not respond at all.

Sebastian grabbed Claudia's wrist tightly.

His touch was hot, and it made her feel a little confused.

He pulled her into the building. Instead of taking the elevator, they took the stairs.

Claudia frowned as she asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"A place where we can talk." Sebastian's tone was quite urgent. It seemed like he was very excited.

He led Claudia up several floors. Somewhere around the third floor, the whole place seemed very quiet.

He finally stopped. Claudia's heart

was beating erratically. She did not

know

How to react at all. She could only stare at Sebastian blankly without knowing what to do at all.
