Stephanie, frustrated and looking like she was about to lose it, said, "Mom, what on earth do you want to do?" "There's a hair salon nearby. Come, accompanyto get a new hairstyle. It won't take too long!" Said Marilyn. Was the lunch I made not good enough? And now we had to get a new hairstyle too? Stephanie complained silently.
Was her mom really so afraid of her being disliked by that man? It was actually her who looked down on him! Marilyn, seeing her unwillingness, put on a weak and pitiful act, "Steph... It's been so long since I last saw you looking like a girl. You're so pretty. Just listen to me, dress up a bit and let others envyfor having such a beautiful daughter when we go out for dinner and shopping later!" Stephanie didn't really want to say yes. But what else could she do? To make her own mom happy, she could only pamper her.

Marilyn looked more and more satisfied, while Stephanie felt a bit uneasy. But seeing her mom so happy, she didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the entrance of Skyline Corporation, Marilyn and Stephanie got off the car together.
Stephanie thought her mother was going to go up with her, feeling relieved that she wouldn't have to face that hypocritical old man alone.
However, things didn't go as she expected.
As they reached the entrance, Marilyn handed her the lunchbox, "Steph, behave and don't make Seb angry." Stephanie suddenly grabbed her arm, surprised, "Mom, aren't you going with me?" Marilyn smiled, "Why would I go when you two young people can have sttogether?" Pointing at a distance, she said, "See that? There's a café over there. I'll be waiting for you there." Stephanie, unwilling and holding tight to her mother's arm, "Mom, can't you just go withto meet your precious Seb?" How could her mother leave her elet alone to face that pervert? He was terrible even having affairs in bathrooms! What if he tried to take advantage of her? Marilyn said helplessly, "You're grown up, but still act like a child. Go on, I'll be waiting there for you. Be a good girl and listen to me, alright?" Her mother actually left and abandoned her to face the disgraceful man alone. Stephanie felt depressed. Holding the lunchbox in her hand, she reluctantly walked into the Skyline Corporation building. Anyway, if Sebastian dared to provoke her, she wouldn't mind kicking him again, making him utterly embarrassed! The receptionist at the Skyline Tower had already been informed and directly led her to the president's office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for why Sebastian knew Stephanie was coming, it was because Marilyn had texted him earlier.
Initially, Marilyn asked if Sebastian had eaten yet, and he said he had not.
She replied, [Well, perfect timing! Steph made lunch for you and is on her way to deliver it.] Sebastian felt surprised. He had
seen many tricks people used to gain his favor, but a woman whe cooked personally for him and delivered it was rare. It also meant that she must want a lot from him.
She truly was a greedy woman! He had already agreed to give her the title of Mrs. President, right?
Sebastian's eyes showed a dangerous glint as he wondered how the girl would use all sorts of methods to win him over. X
