Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 783: Hah, Heartless Man

Since Selena Kensington didn’t have much going on tomorrow, she decided to accompany Vivian Sutton to take a look.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Do you mind if I tag along?

[Vivian Doesn’t Want to Be Poor]: Damn, what are you talking about? Would I mind?! Impossible! I’m happy about it!

[Vivian Doesn’t Want to Be Poor]: I was just worried you’d be busy. Last time you went shopping with me, you hurried away.

[Selie Stays Slim]: That’s why I’m planning to make it up to you.

[Vivian Doesn’t Want to Be Poor]: Great! See you at the E&A boutique on Flair Street at 11 AM tomorrow morning!

[Selie Stays Slim]: Okay.

After finishing the conversation with Vivian Sutton, Selena Kensington continued checking the recent schedules and reports from Stardust.

Just then, Sterling Norwood returned from outside.

He glanced at Selena Kensington, who was still holding her phone.

It had been more than an hour since she returned to the bedroom, and had she been on her phone the whole time?

Sterling Norwood’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He walked over.

Selena Kensington was still looking at the content on her phone when she felt a shadow blocking the light on her bedside.

She looked up to see Sterling Norwood standing by the bed, blocking the light.

The lighting in the bedroom was a warm yellow hue.

Under the soft light, Sterling Norwood’s features appeared gentle.

Despite his sharp brows, his eyes held a tenderness and focus.

It felt like as long as he set his gaze on you, you were his whole world.

This unabashed affection and indulgence made Selena Kensington feel slightly tingling.

Seeing Selena Kensington’s attention on him, Sterling Norwood softly spoke, "You’ve been watching for over an hour, it’s time to rest."

"..."

The romantic notion Selena Kensington had just developed was dashed by Sterling Norwood’s merciless words.

She slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Ah, heartless man.

But Selena Kensington only dared to grumble internally; she obediently put down her phone and pulled the quilt over herself before lying down on the bed.

Seeing her being so compliant, Sterling Norwood smiled with a hint of delight.

He reached out and ruffled Selena Kensington’s hair, "Get some sleep first, I’ll go shower."

"Hmm..."

Selena Kensington responded.

She then remembered her agreement with Vivian Sutton from earlier and hurriedly called out to Sterling Norwood, "Wait!"

Upon hearing Selena’s words, Sterling Norwood stopped in his tracks.

"What’s up?"

He turned around and asked.

"I have to go out with Vivian tomorrow."

"..."

Seeing Sterling Norwood fall silent, Selena Kensington explained further, "Vivian became the representative for E&A in The Empire; I’m accompanying her to pick out some jewelry tomorrow."

"It’s at Flair Street."

Selena Kensington blinked and added.

Flair Street was known as a place in Aethelgard filled with various brand boutiques, where the street and architectural styles embodied modern fashion.

Moreover, since it housed top luxury brand boutiques, generally, only those with a bit of wealth would go there.

This resulted in the area being quite large and spacious, yet having very few pedestrians and vehicles.

Furthermore, because the customers were usually from noble families or high-ranking officials, the security and environment there were top-notch.

Upon hearing it was Flair Street, Sterling Norwood felt slightly reassured.

Nevertheless, he still asked Hope Norwood to accompany Selena Kensington.

Hearing this request, Selena Kensington quickly agreed, "OK OK!"

The next day.

Sterling Norwood had things to attend to and left earlier.

But before leaving, he still woke Selena Kensington up and ensured she had breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Selena Kensington noticed she had some time and decided to watch a random TV show in the living room.

Unexpectedly, she found the show to be quite captivating.

It was the kind of dramatic yet irresistible city series.

Immersed in the show, Selena Kensington lost track of time; she realized there were only ten minutes left before the arranged meeting time with Vivian Sutton.

And from The Northwood Estate to Flair Street, it would take at least half an hour.

"..."

No time to think much, Selena Kensington quickly turned off the TV, grabbed the bag prepared by Sterling Norwood, and rushed out.

The butler, seeing her hurried demeanor, was startled.

"Madam, be careful not to slip."

The butler quickly advised.

Selena Kensington waved her hand, "I’ll be careful," and added, "Mr. Butler, I’ll have lunch outside, so no need to prepare for me."

The butler didn’t inquire further and respectfully replied, "Yes, madam."

As Selena Kensington stepped out of the main residence, she noticed Hope Norwood already waiting with the car outside.

"..."

She knew that if she hadn’t come out, Hope Norwood wouldn’t have actively searched for her.

So this was her fault.

Selena Kensington approached apologetically, "Ah, Hope, have you been waiting long?"

Hope Norwood shook her head slightly and then opened the car door for Selena Kensington.

Seeing this, Selena Kensington felt a bit helpless.

It’s no surprise she’s a bit lazy; with the Norwood family’s endless indulgence, it’s remarkable she hadn’t turned into a hermit.

Once Selena Kensington settled inside, Hope Norwood got into the driver’s seat.

"Madam, where to?"

She slightly turned her head, asking the backseat Selena Kensington.

"Flair Street."

Selena Kensington gave her the location.

Hope Norwood nodded slightly and then silently started the car.

Selena Kensington knew Hope Norwood had always been like this, so she didn’t mind.

Thinking Vivian Sutton might be arriving soon, Selena Kensington called her.

"Selie, what’s up?"

"Hey, Vivian... I might be a bit late. I’m just leaving now."

As soon as the call connected and hearing Vivian Sutton’s voice, Selena Kensington spoke promptly.

"Alright, I’m almost at Flair Street. Just come find me at the E&A boutique, I’ll be waiting there."

"Okay."

Upon hearing Vivian Sutton agree, Selena Kensington breathed a sigh of relief.

After finalizing plans with Vivian Sutton, Selena Kensington hung up the call.

*

After half an hour of driving, they arrived at Flair Street.

Since it wasn’t a weekend, there were only a few scattered people on Flair Street.

Even the parked cars along the roadside were sparse.

Selena Kensington asked Hope Norwood to find a parking spot near the E&A boutique.

"Let’s get out."

Once Hope Norwood had parked the car, Selena Kensington grabbed her bag and walked out.

Even though it was still morning, the winter sun wasn’t harsh, bringing a slight warmth.

However, the air was still breezy with a chill.

Selena Kensington adjusted her coat, slung her bag over her shoulder, and walked towards the E&A boutique.
