“I’m really sorry.”
“It’s fine. I’ll let Berevan and Serfina know I’m going.”
“No. You stay and have fun. I’ve already asked Logan to collect you when it finishes, and he’ll take you home.”
“Sebastian—”
He cut me off. “Stay. Enjoy the rest of your night.”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Fine. Will you be home when I come back?”
“I don’t know how long this will take.”
I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Just go, Sebastian.”
I went to turn, but he gently took hold of my wrist. “Please don’t be like that, Nyx. I can’t help it. The company means a lot to me.”
“I know it does, but you need to think about yourself for once. You look tired. Like you haven’t slept properly for weeks.”
“I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.”
“But I do, and you can’t seem to understand that. I’ve always worried about you.” I took a deep breath, pausing for a moment. “It’s fine. Go.” I kissed his cheek quickly and walked back over to Berevan.
“What’s wrong?” Serfina asked as she returned with more food.
Her eyes drifted past me, and I knew she’d clocked Sebastian walking away.
“Apparently, he’s had an alert on his phone about Luxe Corp. He’s gone to sort it out.”
“Oh,” Serfina replied, her eyes not quite meeting mine.
“It must be hard, running such a large company by himself,” Berevan said.
“He’s not on his own anymore. He has someone else to help, but he’s stubborn.”
“Sebastian has always been like that. He never lets anyone help him. He thinks he can do it all himself,” Serfina agreed, as she started eating some rice on her plate.
“I can’t keep telling him to slow down. He doesn’t listen.”
“You do what you need to do,” Berevan said.
“You know what … I think I will.”
Serfina smiled at me. “I know that look. Come on. Spill.”
“I’ve decided not to put uni off anymore. I’m going to do my applications to become a social worker. It’s time I started doing something for myself.”

Aria
Ihopped across the foyer to answer the doorbell, placing my stiletto on my foot. Logan stood there, smiling.
“Morning, Aria. You ready?”
“Hey, Logan. Yeah, I just need to get my bag from the kitchen.”
“I’ll be in the car.”
