Sebastian POV
VIP club room, I frequently have insomnia, and it makes me unable to fall asleep. But that night I managed to sleep while cuddling a woman, but the woman ran away.“Woman, don't think you can run away from me”I thought that I wasn't concerned with relationships or anything that has to do with a man and a woman.However, that night, I discovered the joy of being a man through that woman. I even wanted to pin her down and bully her thoroughly.“Who is this woman that came here that night?This is a VIP room, and clearly it is not a place people could easily access.My personal assistant immediately lowered his head and replied.“Sir, besides some employee from the TV station who came here that day for interviews, there is no one else”“I want you to bring me the details of every staff In the TV station”“My personal assistant didn't understand what was happening, so he hurriedly brought their details for me. One of the pictures caught my attention.“Eleanor sterling”Oh I see. Your name is Eleanor. I will see how you're going to escape from my traps…Eleanor's POV I thought I had to start job hunting again, but the unexpected happened in less than a week. I got a call after submitting my resume. It was no other but the skyline group in Springville who had sent me an employment letter.Joy filled my heart. Although it was a receptionist position, but it was still under the skyline group.Even top graduates of famous universities are hoping to get a job at skyline group.People always prefer working as part of the top management in skyline group rather than start up their own company. This is to show you how powerful the company was.So why would I not be excited?I might even lose my composure on seeing the influential elites because I have dreamt of being in such a position someday.Yet, in a minute I got discouraged. To such people, I'm a little miss nobody who just got a job.The supervisor who interviewed me had a name badge on her shoulder and her name was Natalie Prescott. She seemed like someone in her late thirties.She wore a suit, portraying a stern and neat image.“Being a receptionist is not an easy job, you get countless calls daily, and you will deal with different people. You might offend them if you aren't attentive. Therefore, you have to be smart to answer those calls.Your training will be for a month. Be your best” she explained.“I promise”I looked at the employment contract before I started working.Being a receptionist was not easy, I stood the whole time.Anyway, it's understandable because I'm still learning.As it got to noon, a car honked and parked outside the gate. Immediately, a horde of security stood at the entrance, they were all in uniforms.A fellow receptionist who stood beside me reminded me.“Mr. Sebastian Donovan is here”The name Sebastian Donovan made my neck straighten.Sebastian Donovan was known as Mr. Donovan from skyline group. I lost my job because of the interview I was supposed to have with him.I secretly looked toward the entrance gate admist the crowd, knowing that he was a renowned figure.A bodyguard opened the door and a slender leg popped out of the car.A man walked towards the entrance with a cold expression on his face.His aura was so chilly that everyone around him felt suffocating.I secretly raised my head a little and peeped towards the entrance.“His legs were quite long”Afterward, my gaze fell on him and suddenly, my mind went numb when I saw the handsome yet cold face.“How could this be him?Isn't he the gigolo at the club? How did he become Sebastian Donovan, the person in charge of the skyline group? Why am I so unlucky? Why did I meet him here?I was so afraid that he would see me, I dropped my head down in fear.Unfortunately for me, he already knew I had joined the company, and his gaze fell on my scared face.He couldn't help but stare at me, and I knew he recalled the night we both shared.I also flashed back to the way he held my thin waist, and it felt like it might break.I wish nothing more than to stay in his embrace and let him please him.However, he retracted his gaze and walked towards the elevator.I didn't dare to raise my head until he walked into the elevator.I was in a state of confusion.How could I have known that he was Sebastian and not an escort? He is one of the wealthiest and influential families in Springville.If he finds out about his children, he will fight to gain their custody. That will never happen. I'm their mother, and I will make sure he doesn't know about their existence.“I think he doesn't recognize me”I strongly made up my mind to quit working in the skyline group.I went and informed Natalie that I wanted to quit, and immediately she flared up."What!! Are you kidding me? Why do you want to quit?“Nothing”“You have to give me a valid reason”I didn't even dare to say the truth.“What am I even supposed to say, huh? I can't just say I had a one-night stand with Mr. Donovan and had four kids with him. So I had no other choice but to be quiet and quit.“Do you know why I choose you out of the applicants? She asked.I went mute.“ What!! I have no idea about it, many applicants just for a receptionist job? As expected, in the Skyline group, any position is high.”“Since you can't give me a valid reason, then you have to keep working. Do you think I can get a replacement in just a short period of time? When I finally find an applicant, you are now saying you want to quit just after a day. Get out of my sight”“Okay ma'am” I answered and helplessly left and went back to my work.I could only console myself.“ Why am I worried, Sebastian may not have recognized me. I can still leave when Mrs. Natalie finds someone else”At this moment, I lost all hope in the job. I was just wondering if I should look for a new job.I stood in my heels wearing a frown on my face.The truth is, I don't think my resume even met with the company's requirements. Sebastian was the one who made then lay me off at the TV station and instructed them to accept my resume.However, Natalie reported to the personal assistant about my request to quit the job.In the office, Sebastian's slender figure was sitting like a king on his chair as he listened to my report from his personal assistant, and his face suddenly turned cold.“Eleanor wants to quit her job?...“Sebastian, I heard you have bought the RSTV station. Is that true? She asked.“Is there anything you want to say? He asked.“I'm just surprised, that's all. But I know you have a reason behind your decision. It's just that I don't like Eleanor.”His gaze darkened, and he stopped what he was doing.“I bet you are not aware that she tried to seduce Michael. I even saw her going into his car last night, and they left together.”Sebastian, who was busy with some files all these while, raised his head on hearing her.He was emitting a cold aura from his head to toe.When she sensed he was staring intently at her, she shrugged and hurriedly straightened her posture like she was in a comfortable position.“I'm not lying, if you doubt me, then you can ask the TV station manager. He was at the bar as well. That girl is too ambitious. If not for the fact that you said you won't change any staff, I would have dismissed her, but there is nothing I can say.” He pushed the files away from the des
“You ignorant bitch!! How dare you lay your filthy hands on me” she asked, boiling in rage.“You can't slap anybody as you wish, Miss Baker. This is a payback slap, learn to stop taking advantage of others.” I said unyieldingly.The TV station manager was shocked as he pointed at me and snarled.“You have got some guts, huh? Do you know who she is? She is Mr. Donovan's fiancé, the CEO of Skyline Group. Where the hell did you get such courage to hit her? I will make your life miserable in Springville.”Just as I was about to talk, a voice from behind interrupted me.“I'm not aware an ordinary TV station manager now has the final say in Springville.”I turned around and saw Michael walking in with his hands in his pocket. He had a stern expression on his face.The manager was shocked and tried to change his words.“Umm… I was only trying to caution her, nothing else.”Knowing that Michael was a tough one, Taylor tried to get hold of herself.“The manager isn't wrong. Since she had the g
Now I won't be able to leave this TV station until he says so>Taylor hopped down from her car as soon as she got to the TV station. She walked quickly in high heels.Wendy, who was waiting for her at the door, pointed out to her.“Wow, so she knows she is late. I thought she didn't have self-awareness at all.” I eyed her but didn't say a word.I remembered how I was always scolded by her the last time I was working at the TV station. Wendy hated it when someone was late.Unfortunately, she couldn't dare to say anything to Taylor Baker.When Taylor saw Wendy and I standing at the door, she slowed down her step and looked at us arrogantly.“Miss Baker, you have arrived. I have been waiting for…” Before Wendy could finish her sentence, Taylor interrupted her.“Sebastian is waiting for me, right? I already told him I would be a bit late.” She said as she showed off.“Do you know he doesn't want me to stress myself, but I choose to be independent.”Wendy and I looked at her awkwardly.“E
Wendy leaned closer to me before she asked the question. She didn't want anyone to hear her.I never thought she would ask such a question while thinking about what Taylor Baker looked like. “You are prettier,” I said hesitantly.“I want to tell you a secret, just because you praised me. Taylor Baker is Sebastian Donovan of Skyline Group's fiancée.” She said.I was shocked.“It's shocking, right? That's why you have to be careful during the interview. Don't say what you shouldn't say, I don't need to remind you. Are we clear?I understood what she was saying.“We are clear.”The last thing I wanted was to lose this job.“Good.” She said and left.This was the first time I heard Sebastian has a fiancé.I had no idea even while I was working in the skyline group.I quickly went to find out what Taylor Baker looked like, or else it would be embarrassing if I didn't recognize her when she arrived.However, I was shocked when j saw her picture. I looked at it in disbelief.I waited for he
Thereafter, Michael didn't do anything intimate with me. He only whispered a few words, then he let me go.From the look on his face, while watching the footage, he knew we interacted and were not newly acquainted.He stood up angrily.“Mr Donovan, the people of RSTV station don't know the relationship between Michael and Eleanor.Nothing is going on between them.” Ethan said.“Nothing, huh? He asked in a deep voice. His gaze was still fixed on the footage.He thought, and his facial muscles were tense.Ethan stood quietly, staring at him. He didn't dare breathe loudly.Without the footage, no one would have ever known we knew each other. However, it has said it all. Michael and I have known each other for a very long time.“I want you to buy the TV station immediately,” Sebastian yelled and his voice echoed.“Yes sir, I will work on that right away.”Meanwhile, I was happy. I had just finished my interview.I was not only employed, there was no probation period and I signed a contra
“Why are you having snacks and drinks for lunch? He asked.“I thought Selene gave you her debit card.”“Why is my life your business? I asked angrily.His question sounded ridiculous, so I stood up and was about to leave.“Come have lunch with me.” He said and followed.“Why would I want to have lunch with you? There are hundreds of ladies out there who will gladly accept not me.”“None of them would dine with me.” He said.“That's your problem, not mine,” I said and turned to leave.“Eleanor, come on, please. I will take you somewhere nice.”“Fine…” I said as I remembered how hungry I was.We sat by the window side in a high-end restaurant.I couldn't understand what he was trying to do.It felt like he was trying to reconcile with me, but I told him it was never going to happen.Our meal arrived, and I noticed he ordered all of my favorite meals“Michael, I hope you are not trying to get back with me.” I teased.He was taken aback, then he looked at me.“Stop overthinking this.”“It
