Bait for a Gentleman novel Chapter 74

Roland's mind raced. How on earth did Sebastian know about this?

If this guy caught him red-handed, based on this terrifying demeanor, he'd absolutely have him thrown in prison!

Then again, why was Audrina taking so long in the restroom?

Did something actually happen...?

Roland's heart hammered against his ribs as a cold sweat drenched him.

Sebastian scrutinized him from head to toe.

After a long pause, his lips curled into a faint, frosty smirk. "It's best if you didn't. This ends here tonight."

With that, he turned and strode away.

Roland exhaled a massive sigh of relief. The grim reaper had finally left.

He needed to go check on Audrina himself.

Who cared what Sebastian said? As long as he was gone and there was no evidence, his threats meant nothing.

When Audrina woke up, Roland could just claim she had too much to drink and willingly threw herself at Ken Larson.

He would be the perfect witness! All that nonsense about assault and accessories would be thrown out the window.

He was getting that advertising contract, no matter what!

But after taking a few steps and pressing the button for the elevator, the man glanced back with an icy warning. "Don't even think about trying anything else. You'd better spend your time figuring out how to keep your job."

At those words, Roland collapsed back onto the sofa, his legs too weak to hold his weight.

It took him quite a while to collect himself. Stumbling toward the exit, he completely abandoned his plans for Audrina.

Sebastian's final comment... he was just bluffing, right?

Rumor had it that beneath his aloof, dignified exterior lay a ruthless and decisive operator.

But Roland racked his brain—he had never done anything to cross the man...

Upstairs, Ken Larson had finished his shower and had been waiting for a good while.

He was completely shirtless, a towel wrapped snugly around his waist, with his hands clasped behind his back.

His rolls of fat jiggled with every step as he paced back and forth across the room.
