Escape the Billionaire's Grasp

Chapter 13--If You're Too Lazy to Pack, Why Did You Come?!

As soon as Brooks received the message, his brows twitched. "Do you want me to pack Mr. Wellington's belongings to return them to him?" Actually, half a month ago, he had asked Mr. Wellington if he wanted him to go to Natalie's apartment and tidy up his things. Half of Sebastian's clothes and items were there.

Sebastian had said, "If you have so much free time, submit the North America Bay project report to me within three days." Then, Brooks had pulled three all-nighters to rush the report out. From then on, he never dared to mention this matter again.

As he was fretting, after a while, Natalie sent another message. "Or should I move out?"

Brooks hurriedly replied, "No need, no need. I'll ask Mr. Wellington first. He probably forgot due to being busy."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble."

They could both sense each other's cautiousness.

Brooks walked to the door of Sebastian's office, took a deep breath, and knocked.

"Come in."

He pushed the door open. Sebastian was still reading documents and didn't look up.

Brooks hesitated for a moment before tentatively speaking, "Miss Sinclair asked me..."

Sebastian's signing pen paused for a moment, but then he seamlessly finished signing, tossed the document aside, and flipped to the next one.

"She asked how to handle your clothes and items. Does she need to pack them?"

In the end, Brooks didn't dare to say the part about "she can also move out." How could Mr. Wellington care about an apartment?

Without even lifting his eyelids, Sebastian said in a flat tone, "I'll go get them when I'm done with work."

Brooks froze for a moment. Did that mean he was going to get them personally?!

"I can go instead."

If Mr. Wellington had to handle such matters personally, what was he paid for?

Sebastian glanced at him.

Brooks' tongue nearly tied itself. "It seems there were some omissions in the last report. I'll go check it again."

Sebastian didn't say anything else. Brooks quickly left the office as if escaping for his life.

After leaving the office, Brooks sent a message to Natalie. He wrote and deleted it several times before finally replying with an ambiguous sentence.

"Someone will come to collect them soon."

Natalie didn't think much of the message. She took a shower, changed into loungewear, and collapsed on the sofa to watch TV. It happened to be the broadcast time for "White Birch."

Because of the jewelry gala tomorrow, she didn't dare to eat anything and just nibbled on an apple. After being busy and working nonstop for more than half a month, she was both tired and sleepy. Unknowingly, she fell asleep.

She was startled awake by the sound of the door opening. She was a light sleeper. Any slight movement could alert her, especially after becoming a celebrity. After all, there had been incidents of sasaeng fans secretly picking locks to enter celebrities' rooms.

But when she woke up, she remembered it should be Brooks. She drowsily crawled up from the sofa, rubbing her eyes as she walked out. "Brooks, the things are all..."

Before she could finish, she saw Sebastian walking in. She instantly became fully awake. "Why are you here?"

Sebastian glanced at her. "Didn't you ask me to come?"

"I..."

Natalie choked. She had clearly asked Brooks.

"I just didn't expect you to personally come for such a troublesome matter."

"It was on the way."

Natalie held back her stomach pain. She had thought they would never have the chance to meet again. The last time she picked a fight with him, she had been determined to never cross paths again. But she didn't expect that in less than a month, they would have the opportunity to be in the same room.

She was so awkward, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. But Sebastian was very casual, directly walking past her and entering.

Natalie politely asked, "Do you want me to help you pack?"

Sebastian calmly accepted, "Sure."

Natalie: "..."

If you're too lazy to pack, why the hell did you come?!
