Chapter 447: Clarity
Seb walked inside the office building with all the grace of a bull in a china shop. It was late in the night, so thankfully the halls were deserted and Seb could breathe calmly. As he entered the elevator, however, he was surprised to see the security guard standing inside.
"Why are you still here?" Seb asked, grimacing when his own voice echoed in the quiet.
The security guard glanced up from his post, his expression tired yet attentive. "Demon Frost is still in his office," he replied matter-of-factly.
Seb’s eyebrows shot up in surprise at the mention of Demetri’s nickname. "Really?"
However, he alse felt a rush of relief. He could talk to Demetri...Quickly, he changed his initial plan to crash in the office and pressed a higher number. As he watched the numbers climb steadily, he wondered what he could say. He was still at a loss when the elevator reached Demetri’s floor. Taking a deep breath, Seb marched towards Demon’s office.
At the door, he hesitated. What if he couldn’t explain himself to Demetri. After all, he was unable to make sense of his actions to himself. Or if he stood by Olivia and asked him to let her go...Just as he was about to retreat, "Come in, Seb" Demetri’s voice called from within, the tone oddly expectant.
He slumped. Demetri had been expecting him? Without a thought, he walked inside and was surprised to see two decanters and a glass of whiskey on the table.
"You’re not working. Are you expecting someone?" He asked cautiously. The whiskey couldn’t be for Nora...
"Just you. Sit." Demetri answered calmly as he opened the bottle to pour some for them.
