Chapter 43 Dumont Honeymoon Done Right
- Our first week in Little Cayman was heaven! The villa he bought was luxurious and had all our needs catered to. It was a five bedroom log villa with floor to ceiling windows, lush gardens, an indoor pool if needed and Jacuzzi on the terrace. Why Sebastian felt the need to buy a flipping 5 bedroom home, I would never know. Sebastian had all his appointments done via Zoom and Skype video calls, so he was basically still working, but playing at the same time. He was right in what he said back in London; I have not been myself since the thing with Nicholas happened, and I was allowing myself to get dragged under the weight of it. I really wasn't doing well and hiding it, even from myself, but he saw right through it. I decided to do my written work on oppressed female authors, who without them, literature would not be what it is today.
- It's amazing what a break from your daily routine can do to you. My inspiration is back in full force and I can already feel the heavy cloud over my heart lifting. I close my laptop for the day and stretch. Sebastian has been in online meetings all day. Apparently Somersett stocks were falling due to one of Elijah's old employees coming forward with her sexual harassment story against him, so in turn Dumont Enterprises were losing stocks as well.
- I walked into his study with a cup of coffee and could see the frustration on his face. He looks up when he sees me and shakes his head. "Well, what the hell do you expect us to do in this situation, Elijah? The woman has proof and is currently pregnant with a child she says is yours." Sebastian says to who I can only assume is Elijah on the other side of the screen. I place the cup of coffee down next to his laptop and move to walk out, but he gestures with his eyes for me to have a seat.
