NovelEnglishChapter 90 Kali immediately jerked her head back and straightened up in her seat.
"Sebastian." She smoothed out her clothes as if nothing had happened, but her eyes were locked on him with an intensity that was a far cry from her usual chilly demeanor.
Sebastian's expression had gone frosty.
He said impatiently, "I've already told you I'm not interested. There's no need to keep chasing after me." "Sebastian, just givea chance. I know you'll end up liking me," Kali replied, her gaze brimming with stubborn confidence.
Sebastian paused, then said, "Maybe I wasn't clear with Ms. Glenwood before." His tone was flat and firm. "So letbe absolutely direct-I don't like you, and I never will." Kali froze for a split second.
Sebastian was known for his even temper; he almost never lost his cool. She hadn't expected him to turn her down so bluntly, and especially not in front of everyone.

Theo's eyes narrowed when he saw his sister rejected so publicly.
"Who the hell do you think you are, talking to my sister like that?" Theo's voice was icy, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Quentin arched an eyebrow, his expression dripping with disdain. "You're just a broke nobody. What makes you think you're too good for Kali?" He reached into his bag, pulled out several thick wads of cash, and hurled them at Sebastian.
"Is this enough for you to keep her company for the night?" The bills hit Sebastian square on. His fists clenched at his sides, the anger simmering in his eyes growing colder and darker.
But remembering who these people were, Sebastian forced himself to swallow his pride. He walked over to the serving cart, set their dishes down beside them, and said with barely contained emotion, "Here's your food." Then he turned and walked away.
Quentin scoffed, kicking at the ground in frustration. "Act all high and mighty now you'll ccrawling back soon enough." After leaving the table, Sebastian found the restaurant manager and asked to be reassigned from that group. The manager refused flatly.
Sebastian guessed the manager had probably been bribed, but he didn't push it.
Halfway through her meal, Citrine suddenly heard a sharp cry behind her, even through her headphones. She yanked them off and turned to look.
A young male server in the restaurant's uniform had slipped and fallen, the steaming hot broth from a pot splashing all over his chest and arms. He was doubled over in pain, unable to straighten up.
Everyone at the table had jumped back, keeping a safe distance-no one made a move to help.
Citrine was about to shout at them when she caught sight of the two people sitting at the center of the commotion.
Theo and Kali Glenwood.
Just her luck. The two people she despised most.

She strode over and helped the fallen server up, only then realizing who it was. "Sebastian?" Citrine stared in surprise.
He looked equally shocked. "What are you doing here?"
But Citrine's eyes had already landed on the angry red burns on his arm Her expression hardened, her voice booking no argument. "Don't say anything. Lettake care of this."
Sebastian hesitated for a split searing pain second, but the chass his body kept him silent. He just looked at her, trusting her to take charge. Citrine hurried back to her table and grabbed two bottles of water.
She twisted one open and poured it over Sebastian's arm.
Noticing the burns on his stomach, she didn't hesitate-lifting his shirt, she found the worst of it not on his chest, ve across his lower abdomen.
Without a word, she opened the second bottle and poured cool water over the angry, scalded skin.
