Chapter 68: Everything can be sacrificed for the hotpot
In the silence that followed, Amelia froze.
Jazmine Harrison froze.
Inside the bedroom, Sebastian Crowne froze.
"Is there anyone..." Amelia glanced at the bedroom's closed door, suspicious.
"Amelia, you need to sleep. See how late it is? Tomorrow is a big day for you! I'll walk you to your bedroom." Jazmine rushed to take Amelia out of her room. But Amelia evaded her.
"Who is inside your bedroom at this hour?"
"My bedroom?" Jazmine frowned and glanced back at the closed door. "Emily accidentally left my office phone here. And it gets a lot of sham calls. Especially after the incident with Caroline Anderson." She made her expression like Amelia had said something absurd and ushered her back out of her room.
After leaving her at her door, Jazmine returned with somewhat eased expressions. If Amelia had known that she was hiding a man in her bedroom — a very handsome man — then hell would break trying to explain to her.
When Jazmine stepped back into her room, a pleasant fragrance molested her nose and yielded her stomach into a grumble. Jazmine followed the trail of the fragrance and found a hot pot resting in the middle of the table. Sebastian was expertly putting vegetables and meat into it. Once he noticed that Jazmine was back, he gestured her to sit.
