Chapter 910: An Attack
"Are you seriously going to try and scare him off?" Demetri asked, watching as Seb made his so-called ’preparations’ to handle Grant.
Nora shook her head, exasperated. "I don’t even get the point of this. If you have a problem with the guy, then just call Innocensa off, give her some other project and tell her to keep her distance. They’ll forget about the attraction eventually. I mean they have not even started dating. Besides, you said Grant is already trying to maintain his distance."
Seb let out a long sigh and dropped onto the floor, rubbing his temples. "The problem isn’t that they’re working closely together," he muttered. "The problem is you."
Nora frowned and pointed at herself with an expression that asked if Seb had lost his marbles. She was nowhere involved in this mess. She had met the man just once! "Me? How the hell am I the problem?"
Seb scowled and jabbed a finger in her direction. "You. Because you babysat Ines and Vinny too much when they were younger, those two take after you—especially my Ines. See, Olivia, this is why I should have stopped you from going into business with Nora." He then turned back to Nora and asked, "If I tell Ines to back off, what do you think she’ll do?"
Nora’s frown vanished, replaced by a wide, knowing grin as she leaned back and shrugged her shoulders as if it was the answer was obvious. "She’ll go after him with all guns blazing. He won’t stand a chance."
Seb let out another sigh, this one heavier than the last. "Exactly. She’s already pursuing him. The guy knows she’s waiting for him to ask her out, which means she’s already made her move—and knowing her, it was probably in some outrageous way."
Nora’s grin stretched even further. "That’s my girl! And for the record, I am never outrageous. If anything, that trait comes from your bloodline, not my influence. You are the outrageous one, Sebastian Frost."
Seb scoffed, opened his mouth to argue, but before the bickering could truly begin, Demetri and Olivia exchanged a glance.
Then, Demetri interrupted calmly, "I don’t think Innocensa and Grant’s potential relationship is the real problem here."
Seb and Nora both turned to him, confused. "What do you mean?" Nora asked.
