Bait for a Gentleman novel Chapter 103

The rumors in the office died down significantly after Audrina's social media post. At the very least, no one dared to gossip while she was around.

Audrina wanted to rush Sebastian on drafting the agreement, but considering the time difference and his busy schedule, she held back.

She picked up her phone several times, typed a few words, and ultimately deleted them all.

She had given him a week. There were still three days left. She could wait.

Just as she set her phone down, a message popped up.

Sebastian had sent over a document, appending a single sentence at the end:

[Let me know if there are any issues.]

Audrina glanced at the time in the corner of her screen. Her immediate reaction was to type back at lightning speed: [Aren't you in New York?]

The reply came quickly: [Working remotely. Is there a problem?]

She typed another message: [But it's 4 AM over there. Don't you sleep? It's not like I rushed you.]

Sebastian: [I want you to cut ties with him as soon as possible.]

Audrina's grip on her phone tightened.

After a long pause, she replied with three words: [...Go to sleep.]

Her phone fell silent.

She read the agreement from start to finish and realized that every detail she had mentioned was clearly addressed. He had even accounted for potential risks she hadn't considered, setting up preemptive safeguards.

Reliable, efficient, and thorough.

Sebastian was incredibly useful.

After confirming the contract was flawless, Audrina forwarded it to Zachary: [Regarding the division of Monroe Industries' shares, review this. If everything looks good, let's set a time to sign.]

By the time Audrina went on air for her 8 PM broadcast, Zachary still hadn't replied.

Half an hour later, the broadcast ended.

Audrina took out her earpiece and was organizing her scripts when Willow's call came through.

"Drina, look at the number one trending topic right now!"

Willow sounded frantic. Before Audrina could even ask what was going on, the call disconnected.
