Seducing the Cold CEO for My Company Chapter 2

I sighed. God, asking me to seduce someone—I've never done anything like this before.

"Good daughter, I pulled strings to get this invitation."

My dad smiled broadly. "Land Sebastian Hayes! Daddy won't let you down."

Dad, do you realize you sound like a madam right now?

Seeing me lost in thought, Dad slapped my shoulder. "Diana, are you listening?"

I sighed and replied, "I know, I know. Seduce him. You've nagged me about it a hundred times already."

I felt somewhat dejected. Me, a wealthy heiress, reduced to seducing men like some escort?

Although I'm quite attractive, I'm not sure if this Sebastian Hayes will even like me.

I'd heard this Sebastian Hayes was ice-cold and not interested in women.

Twenty-five years old and still no girlfriend.

My dad earnestly advised me: "You'll have to marry someone eventually. Isn't one man the same as another? Might as well marry a rich one. Then you can arrange flowers, play mahjong—wouldn't that life be pleasant?"

"Women must marry eventually. Once you have children, your position as the Hayes family matriarch will be secure."

I naturally understood everything Dad said. Everyone in our circle lived this way, making do.

It's just that thinking about spending the future with someone I didn't love made me uncomfortable.

Dad patted my shoulder, looked me up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Go on. You're so beautiful. Dress prettily today, and landing Sebastian Hayes won't be a problem."

...

I ultimately selected a tight black bodycon dress that looked both spicy and alluring.

This was a banquet hosted by Mr. Lee. It looked very high-class—women wore beautiful gowns, men were all in suits and ties.

The doorman stopped me, politely asking: "Miss, do you have an invitation?"

I handed over the invitation.

As soon as I entered the banquet, I immediately spotted Sebastian Hayes.

The man had his right leg crossed over his left. His features were truly handsome—deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips.

His pure black suit exuded an ascetic air.

A group of people surrounded him.

I thought to myself, he's even more handsome than in photos.

I took a glass of wine and sipped it lightly. Indeed, it was good wine.

Then I put on my most beautiful smile and walked forward, greeting everyone: "Hello everyone! I'm Diana Parker, heiress of Horizon Group."

Someone responded: "Oh my, so this is the Parker family's daughter. So beautiful."

I smiled: "Haha, hello, Mr. Song."

...

I noticed someone standing beside Sebastian Hayes who looked about seventy percent similar to him.

This must be Sebastian Hayes's younger brother, Jason Hayes.

The two had completely different temperaments. Sebastian Hayes was like a flower on a high peak—cold and distant.

Jason Hayes was the bad boy type, wearing a black jacket completely out of place at the banquet, jeans wrapping around his long legs.

He was tall and lean.

Everyone crowded around Sebastian Hayes. The man occasionally made small talk.

I walked forward with my wine glass: "Mr. Hayes, I toast to you."

But the man didn't move, just glanced at me, then turned to continue talking with someone else.

The atmosphere became awkward.

He was indeed as aloof as the rumors suggested.

"Come, come, Diana, I'll toast with you. Mr. Hayes doesn't like drinking."

Someone smoothed things over, and I naturally went along: "Sure, Mr. Lee, I toast to you."

Just then, several other girls also approached.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries first, then tried to chat up Sebastian Hayes.

Looking at the other girls, I knew we all had the same goal—to land Sebastian Hayes.

After all, the Hayes family was wealthy and powerful.

Sebastian Hayes treated those girls the same way he treated me—he didn't acknowledge anyone.

I felt better about it. At least he wasn't singling me out.

I was pushed to the side by those girls, obviously feeling embarrassed.

Just then, a voice came from the corner.

Hearing this pleasant young voice, I realized it came from Jason Hayes: "Brother, let's eat."

The young man leaned back against his chair. His height was exceptional—around 6'2".

His hand propped up his chin, black headphones wrapped around his ears, the first button of his collar undone, revealing a pale collarbone.

He yawned, looking bored and ready to fall asleep.

Hearing this, Sebastian Hayes nodded. "Alright."

The banquet began, and everyone sat down to eat.

I heard Mr. Lee take the stage and say a few words, then it ended.

I also found a corner to eat.

Then I saw Sebastian Hayes's table finishing their meal.

I twisted my slender waist and approached Sebastian Hayes, my face showing panic, as if I'd accidentally stumbled.

I fell toward Sebastian Hayes's direction. Someone caught me, and just as I was delighted—

An impatient voice sounded in my ear: "Hey! Stand up straight and move away."

I looked up to see Jason Hayes!

I quickly stood up straight and adjusted my dress.

Jason Hayes furrowed his brows, made a tsk sound, looked me up and down, and said with disgust: "Stay away from my brother."

"My brother doesn't like seductive women like you."

...

Sebastian Hayes didn't say anything, just maintained a formulaic smile.

"Miss Parker, don't waste your efforts."

It was truly embarrassing.

Seeing everyone's eyes on me, my ears flushed red, and my fake smile almost couldn't hold.

I tried to ease the awkwardness, laughing dryly twice: "I admire Mr. Hayes. Someone as outstanding as Mr. Hayes naturally has many girls who like him."

"However, I'd still like to try pursuing Mr. Hayes."

At this point, my confidence seemed to grow, and I raised my chin.

"Mr. Hayes, I'll come back to pursue you another day."

After saying this, I turned and left.

I could still hear behind me—

"The Parker heiress is so straightforward!"

"Such a beautiful woman throwing herself at him, and Mr. Hayes has no reaction."

"If she were pursuing me, I'd definitely agree."

"Please, if you looked as handsome as Mr. Hayes and were as rich, she'd pursue you too."

"The Parker heiress certainly has guts. Looks like she's really taken with Mr. Hayes."

Sebastian Hayes curved his lips, pulling his face into a faint smile.
