"Yup," Tuckling a strand of hair behind her ear, "She called me and told me about the incident." Shrugging her shoulders, she remarked, "I don't want to behave like a bad guy or some kinda hater, so I showed up for her sake." Directly stating a clear fact to Sebastian that she wasn't there for him but his mom.
"Thanks, I owe you alot."
"Hey come on, we're humans. I'm not that bad to help someone who wasn't considerate at first." She chuckled.
"I––I umm–I want to use this medium to also appreciate you for the book and disc. I really learnt alot from them."
Widening her eyes, she hopefully beamed, "You did?"
"Yes, it wasn't bad as I thought."
"You see, this states that I'm getting additional credits by the day."
Letting out a chuckle, he shook his head, "I bet you are." Crossing his arms, he complained, "Damn you gat abiding employees."
"Oh you mean here in the mansion?"
Raising his brows, he smiled, "Here isn't enough but your company as well." When she burst into laughter, he added, "Like seriously I came over to see you but your assistant and some employees shu me away."
Still in the mood of laughter, she joined her hands together, "So sorry about that, they're just abiding to my rules and regulations."
"Too strict." He stated and rolled his eyes.
"Maybe I guess. Just a minute, I'll get you something to drink." Wanting to stand up.
"Oh please don't worry about that, I'm good."
"Hell no, this is your first time at my place, please don't reject my hospitality." She remarked before standing up but ended up slumping on the couch, "Ouch!"
Widening his eyes in shock, Sebastian quickly inquired, "Are you okay?"
Gently massaging her bandaged ankle, she slowly nodded her head, "My ankle is a bit hurting."
Looking at her ankle, Sebastian furrowed his brows, "What happened? How did you broke it?"
"Its alright, its not something I should say out loud."
"I insist please share it with me."
Sensing his curiousness, Jin-joo had no choice but to share it with him since he insisted to know. "A month ago at the hospital, I lost my balance and fell from the stairs."
"That's because of me, right?" When she turned her face away, he squatted down to help her massage it.
Quizzically scrunching her brows at him, "What are you trying to do?"
"Trying to help you massage your ankle."
Holding his wrist, she vigorously nodded, "Don't, I can manage."
"For goodness sake I insist please. I know this was my fault, it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't vented my anger on you." He snapped. Without waiting for her to say anything, he started massaging her ankles slowly.
After sometime when he was done, she felt better even more than how the orthopedist had done it.
Putting on a sweet smile, she said, "Thanks."
Standing up, he wiped his sweats off his forehead, "How do you feel? Better?"
"A lot more than before."
Just then a knocked on the door startled them.
"Come in."
"Ma'am, lunch is ready." Manila informed before pushing the cart of foods into the room.
"Thanks Manila."
Manila nodded her head and left.
Glancing at his watch, Sebastian informed, "I have to go now, it was nice meeting you."
"Right now? Please sit back and join me for lunch."
"No you carry on, I need to attend to some works right now." He smiled.
"Its my treat, I insist, please join me."
Keeping quiet for a while, "Okay, since you insisted." He hesitated before sitting beside her.

Grayson's place
Kissing the top of her head, Grayson squeezed her cheeks, "What should I do with you honey?"
"Kiss me more." Petra chuckled.
"Will that be enough?" Kissing her lips, he smiled, "I'm gonna miss you."
