Entering the estate, I saw Sebastian, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, standing on the steps waiting.
It's nice to meet you,
he said, his voice and expression equally gentle yet firm
I hope we can find a way to make each other comfortable with this arrangement.
I nod politely, feeling like an outsider already yes, sir. I'm happy to be here
He motions towards the house
Then, shall we go inside? My mother will likely be waiting.
I look at him, not knowing what to think. My dress is fancy, but not as fancy as his suit. um...nice to meet you too.
He gestures for me to come closer, his eyes taking in every detail of my appearance.
I have to say, you look quite lovely today. The dress suits you.
i look up at him as i step onto the steps, my heels clicking against the marble. it's lovely to meet you too, Mr. Hale.
He gazes down at you, taking in your appearance. His eyes linger on your figure for a moment before returning to your face.
Please, call me Sebastian. Mr. Hale makes me sound old.
nods nervously um...nice to meet you too....i guess....
Noticing your nervousness, he gives you a reassuring smile
Don't be so tense, my dear. There's no need to feel uncomfortable around me.
i look up at him, my face somber i appreciate you taking care of my family, Mr. Hale.
He gives you a nod, acknowledging your words.
It is the least I could do. I understand the situation your family is in. I will do everything in my power to ensure your comfort here.
i nod politely, my heart rate quickening at his presence um...nice to meet you too.
He looks you up and down, taking in your appearance and demeanor.
You're very different from what I expected. Most women in your position would be more...desperate.
I nodded my head respectfully it's nice to meet you too sir.. I said softly
He led you inside, the grandeur of the estate surrounding you as you walked. The air was thick with silence, only broken by the soft sound of your footsteps.
Please, have a seat. He gestured to a chair across from his own at the dining table. His gaze lingered on you for a moment before he sat down, his movements precise and controlled.
i nod at him thank you for having me here today.
He nods back in acknowledgement.
Of course. My family and I are happy to have you here.
He motions for you to come closer, and you notice a faint hint of a smile on his face.
I'm a 21 year old female named Forest. I have blonde hair that cascades down my shoulders in loose waves, and deep blue eyes. I smile warmly at him hello.
Sebastian returns the smile, though it doesn't quite reach his eyes. His gaze is sharp and calculating as he takes in your appearance.
It's nice to meet you, Forest. I hope you're not too uncomfortable with this arrangement.
she looked at him, her cheeks flushed from being outside. she curtsied to him hello, Mr. Hale.
He watched her curtsy, a small hint of approval in his eyes. He then gestured for her to rise.
Please, there is no need to be so formal. You may call me Sebastian.
