After the meal, I said goodbye to Sebastian and headed back to my company.
When everyone saw that I had successfully landed the project, they immediately asked me if I had any special secrets or tricks.
I just smiled without answering.
What special tricks could there be?
If I were to explain, it would probably trace back to when my father was saved by Sebastian's father on the battlefield years ago.
The supervisor was also very satisfied with my work.
While complimenting me, he even booked my flight tickets.
It was for a new business trip project, and it sounded even trickier than the last one.
So this is what they call being the "able person should do more work"? Honestly, I might just drop dead from the pressure!
But what else could I do? I had no choice but to force a smile and accept the project.
Later that evening, while I was packing at home, I happened to bump into Sebastian, who was returning from overtime.
He stood in the doorway, and I could practically feel the seismic shock in his pupils:
[Why is my wife suddenly angry? Is she going back to her parents' place?]
[What happened? Did she not like the dishes we had at meal?]
[What did I do wrong? I'm so scared!]
I paused for a moment while putting clothes into my suitcase.
I glanced at Sebastian and thought, Who said I was going back to my parents' place?
This man really has quite the imagination.
Seeing Sebastian with his tearful, pitiful eyes, like he was about to cry any second, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
So, I cleared my throat, straightened up, and said to him:
"Well, our company suddenly got a project, and I need to go on a business trip. It's a bit urgent, so I'm just packing up for now."
To prevent him from overthinking, I decided to explain.
Sebastian visibly relaxed when he heard this.
He gave a soft "Mm," but his thoughts were already cheering inside:
"My wife isn't going back to her parents' place! She's still my wife, I'm so happy!"
"But what kind of company is this? Why are they sending her off on a business trip so easily? What if there's some creepy male boss going with her? What if he calls her to his room in the middle of the night?"
I...
His imagination really is something else.
Looking at the way Sebastian made himself anxious for no reason, I could tell that he was feeling a bit down.
After all, he's my husband, and I could tell he was genuinely worried.
So, I walked over to comfort him:
"Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as the project is done. I'm the only one going, and the person I'll be negotiating with is also a woman. There's no danger."
I softened my tone and gently hooked his pinky finger.
Sebastian kept his usual indifferent expression.
I didn't care about his face. Does he really think I don't know what he's thinking?
Sebastian's thoughts: [My wife is explaining things to me. She must really care about how I feel!]
[I'm so happy. My wife definitely has me in her heart!]
Then, Sebastian looked down at me and asked with a tone that seemed a little tentative:
"Are you worried that I'll be upset?"
I nodded. "You're my husband. Of course, I want to consider your feelings."
"Although I know you're concerned about me traveling alone, you don't need to worry. I'm an adult, and I can take care of myself."
I added, seeing his expression shift from worry to a brighter mood:
"I'll be reachable anytime if there's anything."
When I said that, his face remained stoic, but inside, he was already over the moon.
[She's so understanding. She really cares about me!]
Sebastian seemed to press his luck even further:
"Promise me you'll call me every day to check in."
I nodded eagerly. "Okay, okay."
This must be his real goal, right?
After all, this clingy, love-sick guy is the type who would start crying if he didn't see me for ten minutes.
Seeing me comply without hesitation, Sebastian couldn't resist sneaking a peek at me.
He didn't realize I had caught him in the act.
I almost laughed.
I'm already his wife—what's there to hide?
I rolled my eyes, then casually said, "You can call me too."
This reserved man—does he really expect me to always take the initiative?
