“If we don’t go, this issue will turn into a drawn–out battle. The company needs to keep running. We don’t have time to be stuck in a stalemate with them” Sebastian calmly analyzed the situation, his demeanor unruffled and highly rational.
The foreign executives beside him couldn’t help but be impressed by what they saw.
Even seasoned business veterans like them might not be able to achieve the calmness demonstrated by Sebastian.
Right then, another executive suggested, “But we can’t just let them dictate our actions, can we? If we do that, the company will lose the initiative. Wouldn’t we be at their mercy then?”
People around were also in agreement.
Despite being a subsidiary of Lockhart Group, the company was still a highly respected enterprise in Rodunst. Countless employees took great pride in working for the company.
Yet, now, were they expected to succumb to the whims of their attacker? No one would be content with such
an outcome.
Of course, Sebastian had also taken into account their considerations.
Sebastian naturally wouldn’t let others manipulate him, but he had to make a temporary compromise for long–term plans in the current situation.
“The secrets of our company are currently in the hands of the opposition. If we don’t negotiate, we’ll have no advantage, which would be true manipulation. But if we go, we have a chance to bring them to justice. So, this is merely a change in approach, a way to extend our advantage further. Do you all understand?” Sebastian’s voice was cool and clear, yet it held an inexplicable sense of intimidation.
“True that!” At that moment, Harriet was the first to nod in agreement. “The company’s secrets are in their hands. If we don’t act, they’ll take even more liberties. The company absolutely won’t allow such a situation.”
Upon hearing that, the senior executives thought Sebastian’s words made sense. Thus, they reluctantly nodded in approval.
Harriet continued, “Since everyone has agreed to this negotiation, I’ll arrange for some people to accompany us in two days. No matter what, our top priority is to ensure Mr. Lockhart’s safety.”
Everyone silently nodded in agreement without any objections.
Suddenly, Wesley seemed to remember something and reminded, “There’s one more thing. Sebastian You must keep a close eye on Madelyn. Ensure she doesn’t cause any trouble at crucial moments. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain.”
Harriet was equally tense as she looked at Sebastian.
After all, Madelyn’s character held no credibility in their hearts. The task at hand was tense and perilous. If they didn’t keep a close eye on Madelyn, there was no telling when she might stir up trouble, leaving behind. a mess that would catch them off guard.

home and get some rest. Meeting adjourned”

After speaking, Sebastian was the first to leave, and the others gradually dispersed behind him.
Malcolm was still closely following behind Sebastian in the elevator, always ready to await the latter’s command.
Suddenly, Sebastian remembered the words Wesley had spoken earlier. He thought to himself. He’s right. Since I brought her here, I must ensure her safety
And so, he turned to Malcolm and instructed, “Malcolm, I’ll be very busy these next couple of days. Arrange for a few bodyguards to stay with Mrs. Lockhart at all times to ensure her safety”
“Understood.” Malcolm nodded in agreement.
Upon returning to his room, Sebastian entered while casually loosening his tie with his slender fingers He then proceeded to remove his perfectly tailored suit jacket.
Just as he was about to call out to Madelyn, he saw Madelyn had already fallen asleep on the table. To her left, there was a thermos flask.
Madelyn was a light sleeper, so she quickly woke up when she heard a sound.
Rubbing her eyes in a daze, she then saw Sebastian had returned. She immediately stood up and said in concern, “Have you finished your work? You must be starving. Have some food.”
As she spoke, she swiftly opened the thermos flask beside her.
Looking at the steam rising from the thermos, Madelyn breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it’s st warm.”
Then, with a sweet smile, she said to Sebastian, “Sebastian, I just tried some delicious seafood from a place downstairs. I bought you some. Come and have a taste.”
Sebastian had just managed to extricate himself from the tense work environment when he saw Madelyn’s radiant smile. His heart instantly eased considerably as if he had been pulled out of a perilous situation and plunged into a soft, sweet dream.
So, he walked over, sat down, and casually ate the seafood.
Madelyn looked at him with intrigue. “Is it tasty?”
Sebastian gave a slight nod, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. However, he appeared somewhat weary.
Taking in his appearance, Madelyn was filled with heartache.
Sebastian had risen early that day and hurried off to Rodunst without a moment’s rest. Madelyn went straight to bed upon their arrival, but Sebastian immediately attended a meeting, not to mention one that lasted for an exhaustive six hours. Even the most physically resilient person would likely struggle with such a demanding schedule.
With a pang of sympathy, Madelyn looked at Sebastian. Then, she softly said, “You start eating. I’ll go run a

After finishing his meal, Sebastian went to take a bath and unexpectedly realized how attentive Madelyn was. The temperature of the bath was just right, around forty–five degrees Celsius, not too hot. For someone fatigued, it was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating.
After a while, Sebastian emerged, having finished his bath.
After returning to the bed, Madelyn didn’t rest. She immediately approached Sebastian, gently saying, “Darling, you look tired. Shall I give you a massage?TM
Sebastian’s gaze couldn’t help but shift, though he didn’t say anything. He quietly sat on the bed, allowing Madelyn to massage him.
Madelyn was not particularly strong, but her strength was just right when it came to massage, prompting Sebastian to completely relax under her touch.
Afterward, Madelyn helped Sebastian with a shoulder massage, then had him lie down so she could rub his head. Her demeanor was extraordinarily virtuous as if she had transformed into a completely different person.
Sebastian was somewhat taken aback, but his overwhelming fatigue didn’t allow him to dwell on it much. Soon, under Madelyn’s soothing massage, he drifted off to sleep.
When Sebastian woke up the following day, he found that Madelyn was already dressed immaculately.
She was wearing a trench coat, exuding an extraordinary aura, clearly indicating that she was about to head
oul.
He asked, “Are you going out to have fun?”
Madelyn nodded obediently. “Yes. I figured you were busy, so I decided to go out and wander around by myself to kill some time so that I wouldn’t be bored.”
Hearing her say that, Sebastian could fully comprehend her sentiment.
After all, Madelyn was naturally lively. If she were to stay in the room all the time, she would definitely be bored to death.
