He looked down at me, his gaze cold as ice, suppressing his anger. "Then keep thinking!"

With that, he let go of me and walked away.

"Hey, wait!" I hurried after him. "I'm wearing heels. Slow down!"

Sebastian didn't respond, but his pace slowed, and he opened the car door for me.

I thought, "Hmph, man. Saying one thing but meaning another.

I got into the car with him.

"School starts in a few days. Focus on your studies and experiments, and don't waste your time on meaningless things," Sebastian said as he sat beside me, his tone anything but gentle.

I raised an eyebrow, leaned closer to him, and smiled mischievously. Lowering my voice intentionally, I teased, "What do you mean by 'meaningless things'? Does sleeping with you count?"

I moved closer to his ear, my tone seductive and deliberate. "I've been thinking about that for a long time."

"I've been holding back for a long time, too," he murmured before swiftly pulling me into his arms, his warm breath grazing my ear. "If you want, I wouldn't mind making it real."

"The driver's watching!" I blushed deeply. I only planned to get a raise, but I'd bitten off more than I could chew.
