Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 35: Finding the Traitor

Stella’s POV

I was surprised that suddenly Sebastian enter the room. He just stared at me from head to toe and walk close to me and held my two hands. "You’re really beautiful, Stella, your dress looks good on you," he said while kissing my forehead. I suddenly blushed at what Sebastian said. I just smiled at him and thanked him. After a while, he went to the shower area to take a shower. Then, I went to the kitchen to look for cat food to feed Sebby. I texted Carla if she could watch Sebby here in the condo for a while and so she agreed. I went to Sebby’s room and saw that he was already awake so I gave him some food. I sat down next to him and let him eat, after a while the doorbell rang so I immediately went out to open the door. I saw Carla smiling happily at me.

"Good morning, Stella," Carla greeted me.

"Good morning, Carla," I replied.

"Have you and Sebastian eaten yet? I cook some breakfast because I know there is nothing to cook in Sebastian’s kitchen, " Carla smiled.

"Even if I wanted to eat your food, you know I really like your food but we are in a hurry," I said.

"Oh, okay, that’s fine. Where are you going by the way? " Carla asked.

"We will meet Louis’s girlfriend, Sebastian and her will just talk." I said to Carla.

"Oh, is it regarding to Louis?" Carla asked while looking at me.

"Yes," I said.

"I see, don’t worry, I’ll take care of Sebby. Just mind Louis first, " Carla said and tap my shoulder.

"Thanks, Carla. I’m ashamed of you already; instead of you resting today... here you are now again, taking care of the cat. Don’t worry I’ll get back to you next time. "

"That’s fine; it’s not a big deal. And I know what you both doing is more important. I want to help at least in small things, " said Carla.

After a while, Sebastian came out of the room and he is in the living room now.

"Oh, Carla. Hi! " Sebastian greeted her. He was wearing only a white t-shirt and denim shirt but even though he wears a very simple outfit today, he still looked very handsome.

"Good morning, Sebastian!" said Carla who also looked amazed at what she saw.

"Are you going to take care of Sebby? I’m sorry, you’re the only one we know to ask for a favor every time we leave," said Sebastian.

"It’s nothing, a small thing. All right, just leave and you might be late for your destination. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Sebby, "said Carla.

"All right, we’ll go first then Carla, just message me if you need anything," I said.

"Okay, be careful."

We left the condo and got in Sebastian’s car. While driving, Sebastian tried to call Michelle. The phone rang a few times before Michelle answered Sebastian’s call.

"Hello, Sebastian?"

"Hello, Michelle, we are on our way now to the café. Where are you?"

"I just arrived at the café, I’m sitting at the last table."

"Okay, just wait for us there."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

At the end of their call, Sebastian immediately took my hand while he was driving the car. He seemed nervous when he and Michelle talked, I could feel his hand getting cold so I tightened the grip on his right hand.

A few minutes later we arrived at the café and we got out of the car, when we entered the café, we immediately saw Michelle sitting at the far end of the table while drinking coffee. We went to her table and she immediately noticed us so she waved at us. When we got to the table, Michelle stood up and shook hands with Sebastian while she hugged me, and then we sat on the chair.

"You want something to eat? Coffee? " Michelle’s offer to us.

"It’s fine, I’m not hungry, we already drink coffee at my place," Sebastian replied.

"Okay, how about you, Stella? Do you want something else? " Michelle asked me.

"I am not hungry as well. Thank you. "

"Okay then."

"So, what are we going to talk about? Have you heard from Louis yet? " Sebastian asked.

"Um... I haven’t heard from Louis yet, but I received a message from an unknown number this morning, and I thought of calling you," Michelle said while showing her phone on the table.

I saw Sebastian seriously looking at the number that flashed on Michelle’s phone screen; he didn’t speak for a few seconds while Michelle and I waited for him to say something.

"I am sorry, Michelle, I wonder if that number is familiar to me but the number is not really familiar. I don’t know who owns that number. "

"Is that so," Michelle said sadly.

"What is the content of that message?" I asked Michelle.

Michelle showed the content of the message from the unknown number who messaged her. Sebastian and I read it, I was surprised after I read the content of the text message, and I watched Sebastian’s reaction after he read it. I saw the trembling and anger on his face, I immediately took his hand to make him feel better, he looked at me but I could still see the anger on his face. He removed my hand that was holding him and immediately stood up.

"I need to go to the restroom," he said and turned around, he didn’t wait for me to speak.

"Stella..." Michelle said looking at me. "Listen, please, just understand Sebastian, give him time to breathe and think first. It wasn’t easy for him what he find out from the message... I shouldn’t let him know that message, but as Louis’s brother, he needs to know that as well. "

"I understand, Michelle, don’t worry, I’m not mad at you, I’m just worried about Sebastian since yesterday he was like that already. I am afraid that he may not be able to cope with what is happening to his family now, "I explained.

Michelle held my hand. "I have something to tell you, but promise me you won’t tell Sebastian, I don’t want to add to his problem for now."

"Okay, what are you going to say?"

"Before dad was imprisoned... one time I saw him talking to someone in his office... and it was Edward. I don’t know what the two of them were talking about because at that time I only knew they were just talking about business and no issue was happening yet that time...but I noticed that they meet often and I don’t know if Louis or Sebastian knows about this. I didn’t tell them because I didn’t want to mess up the situation. I am sorry, Stella... I don’t know who to tell this but I think this message came from Edward, "Michelle explained.

I turned around and maybe Sebastian was next to us already when I made sure he wasn’t next to us I spoke. "Are you sure with what you’re saying? You know that their family trusts Edward and it’s their cousin. "

"I’m not totally sure but my instinct says so and I have long seen them talking secretly. Stella, you know I don’t like dad’s illegal activities, so I won’t make a story just for this. "

"I know, I just want to make things clear...if the message really came from Edward... it means he can’t be trusted either but that’s impossible, especially now that Louis hasn’t been found yet, Sebastian will definitely hope to Dylan, Nicholas, and Edward, and Edward is the most experienced of the three of them. "

"I don’t know either, Stella... I also don’t have enough evidence here -"

"Is there a problem? It’s like you saw a ghost, Michelle, " said Sebastian who was standing behind me.

"Ah, nothing, we’re just talking. By the way, are you okay? " I ask to change the question.

"Um... yes, I am okay. What are you talking about?" Sebastian asked in astonishment.

"Um... nothing important, we’re just worried about you because you suddenly left us," I explained.

I saw Sebastian look at me and then he looked at Michelle, he was just looking at us as if reading our minds.

"Okay, I’m sorry if I left suddenly earlier, I just couldn’t control my anger so I’d better be alone first. Don’t worry, I’m fine now. By the way, whoever sent you that message, Michelle, I’m sure he wants to destroy my family and he seems to know my family very well. That only means that the person who messaged you was working inside the company. I am going to hire a private investigator so we can find out who that person is," Sebastian explained.

"Are you sure we need a private investigator?" Michelle asked.

"Yes, it will be easier to find him, why? Don’t you want me to hire a private investigator; it’s for Louis’s sake as well. "

"I know... I just asked," Michelle said.
