SECRET OF THE AMULET

CHAPTER 31- PRESENT TIME

She eventually got on his nerves, and he discovered her to be secretive. Although she claimed to be an excellent chef on her first day, there was something about the lady he couldn't grasp. When she forbade him from entering the kitchen while she was cooking, he became more eager to see her! "However, why are you attempting to alienate yourself from me?" Sebastian was perplexed as to why she had to take such dramatic measures to protect herself. "Are you sure you can't just ignore me, Sebastian?" That was how she preferred it. "I wish I could," he stated. Sheena arched her brows, perplexed as to why he couldn't simply ignore her. "How come not?" Even though his conceivable response would only serve to scare her, she inquired. "I'd prefer that we get along well. It's funny that we share a roof yet never speak," he added. "What makes it odd, Sebastian?" It's natural for an employee to avoid becoming too close to her boss," she explained. Sebastian clinched his fist but refrained from showing it to Sheena. He wished he could have chatted with her as he assisted in the kitchen. He was unaware of all that involved her, and yet she stayed distant and decided to withdraw from him after learning about the secret refuge. "Can't we just go back to the way things were?" "You speak as though we've known one other for a longer period of time. Typical, Sebastian. It was only for a single day!" She reminded him that whatever they had before to the discovery of the hidden refuge was irrelevant. "That was the most incredible day of my life, Sheena. "Are you sure you're not going to reconsider?" He was attempting to avoid seeming pathetic, but he was speaking the truth. Even if he looked goofy while peeling the onion and garlic with his sunshade, he relished every minute of it! She inhaled deeply and examined him for the nth time, but his proclivity for s*x terrified the living daylights out of her! "I'd want to see Richard once more," she answered. For the first time in his life, he felt enraged at Richard! He had no reason to be envious, yet he felt like shite when she brought up Richard's name! "Do you adore him?" He inquired, and when she nodded, he felt compelled to murder his friend. How did the scumbag manage to win Sheena's heart? "Why are you not calling him, Sheena?" "You most certainly have his phone number," he stated. "I attempted to call him, but his phone was switched off." She returned her response. Sebastian intended to confess the truth about her boyfriend's courtship and seduction of his fiancée. While he was at it, he recalled Richard's failure to provide him with regular updates on Sheena Rodriguez. Has he already eloped with her? Later, he would request information about the heiress he was going to marry from Derrick. "I'm sure he's busy, Sheena. "Do you want anything else in return for speaking with me again?" he queried. "Allow me to visit the Harem at any moment," she negotiated bluntly. Sebastian was taken aback by her suggestion. "However, why?" he inquired. "How come not?" She, too, inquired. Sebastian moaned in response to Sheena's manner of responding to his query. Rather of responding directly, she would rephrase the question! He desired to oppose her plea but was unable to do so! "Is that all there is?" He enquired. She smiled as she nodded and thanked him for granting her request. "Thank you, Sebastian," she whispered, but within her thoughts was hatching an awful plot. She intended to persuade the ladies to quit the Private refuge, claiming that it was absurd to spend their prime years for Sebastian's sake! "May I assist you with the vegetables?" He inquired as to when Sheena will commence vegetable chopping. "Thank you, but no." Why are you not doing something constructive today?" She confronted him, since, to be honest, she felt uneasy with him being so close to her. "You do not wish for me to be present," he concluded. Sheena felt remorseful when he scowled and revealed his strategy. "No, Sebastian, you are incorrect." She explained, and when his eye suddenly lighted up, she realized he was faking! "Did you just play a joke on me?" "What ensnared you?" He pretended ignorance, but Sheena sprayed him with water. “Hey!” He screamed, but he had already been drenched. After she doused him with water, Sheena looked at him apologetically. "I apologize, but I believe you should change your clothing right now. "Continue," she instructed him, and he sighed loudly before departing to leave her alone. Sebastian must have assumed she was stupid! If only he knew where she earned her Business Management degree, he would swoon! Nonetheless, she discovered that cleaning the veggies was more delightful and exciting after he went.

Who in the devil did he believe he was to feel superior?

Sebastian burst into her bedroom when she was reading a book! Sheena was taken aback by his unexpected appearance and arched her brows as she rose. "Do you not understand how to knock, Sebastian?" I understand that this is your property, but please do not come here uninvited!" She chastised him. "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I let you to speak with them and befriend them, but not to persuade them to abandon me!" He screamed at the lady who dared to wreak havoc within his own haven. "Was your favorite redhead the one who alerted you that I was speaking to the ladies?" She was referring to the lady who slept in his bed every night and was considered to be his lover by other ladies. "Cassandra is not a personal favorite of mine! Who are you, Sheena, to do such a thing to me? I assumed you understood!" Sebastian was upset by her treachery since she misled him into believing she was comfortable with his lifestyle. "In that case, she was Cassandra. How about the remaining females, Sebastian? Are you also familiar with their names?" She cast doubt on his assertion that Cassandra was not his favorite. As he watched Sheena's look, the corner of his eyes crinkled. She was unconcerned that he would strike her at any moment, and her assurance enraged him even more. "This is a warning to you, Sheena. Avoid my women at all costs or you will regret it later!" "Do you consider that a threat, Sebastian?" She enquired. "What are your thoughts?" He responded with a thought-provoking topic for her to consider before he departed. Sheena was unable to continue reading the book after he departed and tossed it away! She was perplexed as to which of the women had deceived her! Her nostrils flared as she rushed towards the door, instantly heading for the Harem! She proceeded directly to Cassandra's room and repeatedly pounded on the door until she opened it. "We need to speak immediately!" She reached for the woman's hand, but Sebastian's voice stopped her, and he then joined her and Cassandra at the door. "I'll take care of this, love; enter." Sebastian directed Cassandra to return to the house while he spoke with Sheena. "I will not put up with this attitude, Sheena. What is your issue?" The fact that he immediately approached Cassandra following their altercation in her room enraged Sheena even more. She desired to scratch his face, but realized that doing so might aggravate the situation. "I'm going to ask her a question," she explained. "In the manner of what?" If she was the one who informed me of your nefarious escape plan? Yes, she informed me about it, and I'm grateful she did. Otherwise, I would have been unaware of your conspiracy against me!" he snarled. Sheena was discouraged by Sebastian's belief in whatever Cassandra whispered into his ear. While his allegation may be true, she was not planning against him! She only want to assist those women! "Sebastian, you're a disgrace to your family!" Sebastian clenched his teeth as he drew closer to her. Is he an embarrassment to his family? "How did you say that?" "I apologize; I did not intend it that way." She remarked as she attempted to go, but Sebastian grabbed one of her arms and prevented her from leaving. "Repeat it, Sheena! Declare it!" He pushed her to repeat her charge against him, that he is an embarrassment to his family. "I stated my regret!" She lashed out at him. "Oh my God, that attitude of yours is incredible!" He yelled at her and escorted her out of the Harem. Sheena exclaimed loudly as he scooped her up like a weightless object! "Put me down now!" She twitched her legs to communicate her displeasure at being carried about like a sack of potatoes. "Sebastian, immediately put me down!" She repeated herself, but Sebastian ignored her and continued going. "How are you going to get me there?" She inquired as he exited the Harem, as if he were returning to his room! She rightly predicted it when he kicked open the door to his bedroom and dumped her in the center of his bed! Sebastian yanked a few strands of his hair as he struggled to find kinder words to say to her! She strained his tolerance to the limit, and he couldn't take any more of her immature behavior! He is finished. "How come you constantly interfering in my personal life, Sheena? What do you gain if I maintain a large number of ladies here? Why are you so concerned that you're willing to create a scene there? Why?” He screamed at the woman, accusing her of being difficult! Sebastian was absolutely accurate. She had no business meddling with his relationship. She attempted unsuccessfully to persuade the women to go, but they refused. What, after all, is in it for her? She would gain nothing! "I apologize for forgetting my position, Sebastian. I'm sorry, I'm just your hired cook, and I shouldn't mind your business." She admitted her error.
