Chapter 28 Who the Hell Are You ? Chapter 28 Who the Hell Are You ? +20 Free Coms She was just about to say , " I'll transfer the fare to you , " when she saw Sebastian already holding out his phone , the screen glowing with his Venmo friend QR code . Millie stared at the code , a bit hesitant . A direct transfer would've worked . There was no need to add him as a friend . But he probably didn't know that .... Sebastian raised an eyebrow . " What's wrong ? " " Nothing ." Millie quickly tapped add friend , already planning to quietly delete him after she sent the payment from home . Sebastian glanced at the new friend request on his screen , the corner of his mouth curving in a way that was barely noticeable . Thinking it over , Millie decided to pay for both this ride and the last one . She sent him 1,000 dollars . Then , she thanked him again and got out of the car . As soon as she stepped out , a wave of exhaustion hit her . Just then , she spotted Encounter Bar at the intersection . She really wanted a drink . Her ankle was nearly healed , so she headed straight for the bar . Caleb couldn't help but ask quietly , " Mr. Hunt , should we ... ? " Sebastian watched Millie's silhouette disappear into the neon lights . " Caleb , wait here . " He got out of the car and strode after her , his steps steady and purposeful as he followed her into the bar . Caleb stared after him , pinching his own arm in disbelief . Ow ! That hurts ! Is this for real ? 1/3 What's going on ... Mr. Hunt is tailing some random woman like some kind of stalker ? Encounter Bar was tucked away in an old building on the corner - nothing flashy from the outside , but once inside , it felt like another world . The first floor was open and spacious , with dozens of booths scattered throughout . The air was laced with a faint woody scent , mixed with just a trace of liquor , washing away the city's noise outside . Millie made her way to the bar , tapping her finger lightly on the cool countertop , her voice weary . " Whiskey . On the rocks . " The bartender quickly slid over a glass . The amber whiskey rippled as the ice clinked . Millie gripped the glass , staring into her reflection . Her mind drifted , a subtle air of loneliness clinging to her . She knew she was at a dead end . In Northspire , the Pearsons were a top family , which gave Callum that arrogant sense of entitlement . She believed she'd ended things with Callum for good . But in his eyes , the breakup was just her throwing a tantrum . As long as he wanted , he could drag her back at any time . And work ? She'd poured weeks of effort into her designs for the Global Village project , only to be rejected on the first round . Then came all the trending searches and harsh online criticism . Millie tilted her head back and finished her drink in one go , the burning alcohol sliding down her throat . Suddenly , a wild thought flashed through her mind . The Jackmans were supposed to have a marriage alliance with the Hunts . If she married Sebastian , the Pearsons wouldn't dare touch her , no matter how powerful they were . Callum would have to back off . And the truth about the Global Village project would come out . No one in her family would be able to push her around again ... 2/3 : Chapter 28 Who the Hell Are You ? All her problems would be solved . But as soon as the idea appeared , Millie brushed it away . Laura and Anna would never let that marriage fall into her lap . More importantly , she never wanted her marriage to be some kind of transaction . She gave a self - mocking smile . Only someone who'd had too much to drink would think of something so ridiculous . Under the bar's dim lights , Millie's slender figure looked especially striking . +20 Free Coins The fitted dress hugged her waist , and even just sitting quietly , her silhouette was picture- perfect . At that moment , a guy with bleached blond hair swaggered over , drink in hand . " Hey , pretty lady , drinking alone ? Don't you get lonely ? I could keep you company . " Millie didn't even bother looking at him . He only got bolder . " Did you just get dumped ? Heartbroken ? Want me to be your new boyfriend ? " Millie shot him a frosty glare . " You're not even close ." He grinned . " Feisty , huh ? " Instead of backing off , the blond guy reached for her hair . " I like a rose with thorns- " But before he could touch her , a large hand caught his wrist from behind and yanked him back . The grip was so strong , he yelped in pain . Before he could react , he was thrown hard against the bar . Sebastian's expression was cold as he spoke . " Get lost . " The blond guy stared up in shock , only to see a man standing there in a sharp suit , exuding an air of authority . For a second , he was stunned . Then , realizing he'd been shown up , he snapped back , " Who the hell are you ? Think you're some hero ? This is my turf ! Learn some manners ! " 3/3
