Chapter 19- Sebastian

I leave Levi’s office with unease. I don’t like that he confronted me about Everly so quickly. I expected it at some point, but not so soon, which means he’s been watching us. Did he agree to give Everly the role to see how I would react? I know I haven’t been great with hiding my interest in her, so was pushing us together for the concert a test?

I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. I was so focused on Levi’s endgame with the spirits. I didn’t think he would be spying on Everly and me, let alone purposely push us together. No wonder he didn’t argue with Mr. Granger and me wanting to give Everly the part for the duet with me. He was fucking testing me, and I fell right into it.

Everly and I tried to be discreet. I also tried to hide how I felt about her from the outside world, but I guess I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. Everly managed to bring down all my defenses without me realizing it. Levi took advantage of the situation. Damn him. I need to stop underestimating him.
