Seducing the Cold CEO for My Company Chapter 9

After this incident, I indeed didn't seek out Sebastian Hayes anymore. After all, he never acknowledged me, and I didn't want to offer my warm face to a cold rear end.

For half a month, I didn't appear before Sebastian Hayes.

Rumors even circulated in our circle that I'd given up on Sebastian Hayes.

Actually yesterday, Sebastian Hayes sent me two messages.

One was a question mark, another was "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

But I didn't respond. Maybe seeing I wasn't chasing him anymore made him uncomfortable?

Men are all like this.

Mom saw me lazily lying corpse-like, immediately pulled me from bed: "Diana Parker, go seduce Sebastian Hayes!"

"Otherwise our family will go bankrupt, and you can forget about being a wealthy heiress!"

Mom grabbed my ear. I grimaced in pain, quickly begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll go today."

I happened to see Sebastian Hayes had sent another message: "Have dinner today?"

I immediately replied: "Sure, see you at Clearwater Restaurant next to your company in a bit."

"Mm."

...

After arriving at the restaurant, Sebastian Hayes and I ate in mutual silence.

I didn't speak, and Sebastian Hayes was even less talkative.

The air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

The sound of knives and forks became clear. I just wanted it to end quickly, praying in my heart for it to pass.

Sebastian Hayes looked at the woman before him, clearly distracted and uninterested. His eyes deepened.

Sebastian Hayes suddenly asked, "How have you been lately?"

I replied flatly, "So-so, not bad."

Sebastian Hayes saw Diana Parker's emotions were flat, obviously not wanting to continue talking with him.

He pressed his lips together and didn't continue speaking.

After finishing the meal, Sebastian Hayes stood up, his face serious: "What's been going on with you lately? Are you having some difficulties?"

"No."

"Then are you dissatisfied with me?"

"No, Mr. Hayes, don't overthink it."

Hearing him ask this, something flashed through my mind. Could he have fallen for me?

But... but I kissed his brother. Looking at his face so similar to Jason Hayes's, I felt awkward.

I explained: "It has nothing to do with you."

"Mm, I'll take you home."

Sebastian Hayes took me home. My mom saw Sebastian Hayes had driven me, smiling ear to ear.

After I got home, I fell asleep.

I slept until afternoon, scrolling through WeChat Moments, when I suddenly came across a post from an heiress.

Sebastian Hayes was carefully peeling shrimp shells, a smile on his lips.

With the caption: "Mr. Hayes isn't as cold as the rumors suggest. He's actually very considerate, even peeling shrimp shells for people."

...

I did a carp flip right up. Good lord!

Sebastian Hayes is really busy—having lunch with me in the morning, dinner with another girl in the afternoon.

This heiress was also my rival.

Is he playing me? Or does he just want to flirt with me?

I'm at least an heiress. Though I've fallen on hard times, I still have dignity, okay?

I held my phone and thought for a moment, then—without hesitation, deleted Sebastian Hayes.

Out of sight, out of mind.
