Hazel and Carly shook hands while the others congratulated Ace. Hazel was about to turn around and head to her room to tend to her wound when someone called her.

She turned around to see Sebastian walking towards her and she frowned. Her eyes subconsciously searched for Leo in the crowd and she spotted him standing beside Ford, his gaze following Sebastian to where she stood.

"I wanted to talk to you about something," Sebastian said, his eyes darting around nervously.

Hazel narrowed her eyes at him, then glanced back at Leo. His gaze was fixed on them.

Sebastian motioned for them to move further away to a more secluded place and Hazel couldn't help the bile that rose to her throat by his closeness. When he finally stopped walking, she was quick to step away from him and Sebastian frowned in confusion, then he closed his eyes to bring his mind back to the topic at hand.
