Chapter 292
Before Yvonne received a response, she barged in with Rosalie in tow.
The moment Yvonne opened the door, an angry bellow sounded from inside the office. “Who let you in? Scram!”
Sebastian was like a provoked beast breaking out from the earth, hist deafening roar making the floor of the office shake.
Yvonne stood where she was, dazed. Her eyes widened in shock as she instinctively tightened her grip on Rosalie’s arm.
Rosalie was stunned too, her heart racing at the sound of Sebatian’s yelling.
Although she was forcefully dragged into the room by Yvonne against her will, the rage on Sebastian’s face shocked her thoroughly. His anger ripped through the crowd like an earthquake, and no one was spared.
Everyone’s gaze landed on the two–one of them was Ms. Carter, but the other was a woman they had never seen before.
If Ms. Carter wasn’t spared from Sebastian’s scolding, the other woman was without a doubt doomed.
Sebastian’s face froze; the fire in his eyes died the moment he saw Rosalie.
Rosalie smiled awkwardly as she pulled her arm out of Yvonne’s grip. “I’m so sorry for interrupting.”
She turned to leave.
“Wait!” Sebastian called.
Rosalie stopped in her tracks, and turned to ask, “What’s the matter?”
Sebastian hastily walked past his desk and toward her. There was panic in his eyes, as if he had done something wrong.
“Rose, what are you doing here?”
He had no idea that Rosalie was outside his door, and never expected to see her here. What’s worse, she witnessed his behavior just now!

Rosalie was so anxious, she didn’t know how to reply to him at that moment. She glanced at the people standing in his office.
“You seem to be rather busy. I won’t bother you any further, goodbye.”

Rosalie was about to turn and leave, when Sebastian blocked her way. “Wait, don’t go. Rose, I’m not scolding you. I thought someone else had come in to interrupt me.”
He was explaining things to her in hopes that she wouldn’t be angry.
at him.
He had probably frightened her just now. The look on her face told him enough.
Rosalie shook her head. “It’s alright. I know that you’re busy right.
now.”
“No matter what, I apologize.”
Sebastian was exceptionally gentle and meek toward Rosalie.
He was very angry today. In fact, he was furious at her.
But now that he saw her in person, he realized he was panicking.
He was panicking at the thought of her witnessing him in his rage–of

his raw, ugly side being fully exposed to her.
He was scared.
He was scared that she might see him in a different light, and that he would no longer be the same Sebastian Carter as before.
Anyone desired to maintain a perfect image before someone hel cared for. No one would want his ugly side to be laid bare like this.
Yvonne folded her arms across her chest, and said with displeasure,” Seb, you apologized to her, but not me. I was the one you scolded!”
“Shut up!” Sebastian turned his head to glare at her.
Yvonne’s heart leapt. “Why are you so fierce to me?”
But she mumbled it under her breath, and dared not say it out loud for fear of being scolded again.
Although Sebastian was scolding Yvonne, it sent shivers down everyone else’s spines.
Yet, when he turned back to look at Rosalie, his attitude took a 180- degree turn. It was as if he had two completely different faces.
