Chapter 17

Hearing the sudden sound of running water from the bathroom, Stephanie finally let out a sigh of relief. 

After putting the food container on the small table, Stephanie walked to the bathroom door with a smile on her face and knocked, saying, “Mom, are you using the restroom?” 

“Come in.” Surprisingly, Marilyn’s response from inside was quite friendly. 

Stephanie pushed open the bathroom door with a bit of surprise and couldn’t help but be taken aback by the scene in front of the mirror. 

Marilyn was standing in front of the mirror with wet hands, smoothing her hair back from her forehead. 

She had dampened the stray hairs that had been sticking up and smoothed them down. She had even put on some light makeup on her face, looking much more energetic than before. 

Seeing this, Stephanie asked puzzledly, “Mom… What are you doing?” 

Marilyn meticulously combed her hair before turning around, smiling at Stephanie and saying, “Will you go shopping with me this afternoon?”

With a helpless expression, Stephanie said, “Mom, how did you know I got my paycheck today?” 

Marilyn hesitated for a moment before replying, “You got your paycheck?”

“Yeah! It’s quite a lot! Working at a nightclub sure pays well! I definitely made the right choice taking this job!” Said Stephanie. 

Marilyn seemed to be in a good mood as well and playfully wagged her finger at Stephanie, saying, “You’re a girl, after all, and doing such a dangerous job isn’t appropriate… Even though the pay is good, that kind of job isn’t suitable for girls.” 

Stephanie said, “Mom, don’t talk about that now. I got this job on my own merit and am making money on my own too! My boss appreciates me a lot and even gave me a bonus!” 

“Enough with the nonsense. Just quit your job, you don’t have to risk your life earning money anymore with Sebastian around. Just get back to school.” Said Marilyn. 

Sebastian? 

Who was that… 

Confused, Stephanie asked, “Mom, what are you talking about?” 

What was she even saying? After graduating from high school, her mom had gotten ill, and she didn’t have the mood for studying. Since then, she’d been working as a security guard at a bar. 

Marilyn, with a beaming smile, said, “Sebastian came to visit me today and even bought me flowers and plenty of supplements.” 

“Mom, who on earth is Sebastian?” Asked Stephanie. 

Marilyn looked a bit angry and glared at her, saying, “Don’t you know your own fiancé?” 

Upon hearing this, Stephanie’s eyes widened, and she blurted out, “You’re talking about that Sebastian?” 

Oh god! 

That old sleazebag had already come by? 

When did he come? 

What had he talked to her mom about that suddenly and completely changed her demeanor from the past few days? 

She’d been completely ignoring Stephanie before, but now she was all smiles, and even spoke about that man in a tender tone. 

Why did her mom suddenly change like this? It was so strange. 

No, she had to find that old sleazebag and ask what he did during his visit today. 

The receptionist at Skyline Tower had received notice that a Ms. Bishop would be coming over and was allowed to directly guide her to the president’s office. 

Sebastian was surprised actually. He didn’t expect the young girl to take the initiative to come see him. Moreover, he learned from her mom that the girl was going to bring him food. 

He had seen many ambitious women before and was very familiar with gold diggers‘ methods, so he wanted to see how the girl would try to make him like her. 

She had secured the status of the wife of a president but still desired more, so Sebastian didn’t have much affection for her.
