The gym room

Sebastian clicked his tongue when he saw Avery sleeping soundly in the car with her hair sprawled out like a tumbleweed. The corners of her lips were dripping with saliva, which Sebastian didn't fail to notice.

He tsk before facing Connor. His eyes were lazily looking at Connor. Connor didn't dare raise his head.

"And what were you waiting for, Connor? Wake her up?" Sebastian said in distaste, raking his hand through his inky black hair to ruffle it.

Connor didn't dare refuse Sebastian's order, but he didn't know this was what he was supposed to do. He had thought Sebastian didn't like his things being touched, and this woman was no exception, or could it be that she was?

Connor didn't bother to ponder more on it as he walked towards Avery. Tapping her slightly on her shoulder. Avery let out dissatisfaction by whining and sleeping back on the car seat. 

Connor gave Sebastian a side glare, not sure of what to do again. When he saw that Sebastian had almost caught him, he fixed his expression.

"Don't you know how to wake up a woman?" Sebastian asked, not bothering to interfere, but he just wanted to be sure Connor wasn't trying to escape now.

"But how am I supposed to wake her up?" Connor asked in his mind, but he still had to repeat the same action by tapping Avery's shoulder.

Connor couldn't thank his stars more when he saw Avery flutter her eyelids open and yawn. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw Sebastian watching her a few feet away.

Sebastian turned his back towards her, waking away as if he wasn't staring at her just now.

"For how long did I sleep?" She asked herself with widened eyes. But who would reply her?

"I'm so sorry," Avery said to Connor while he smiled faintly at Avery.

Avery got out of the car and took her handbag with her. She headed into the mansion, with embarrassment as she walked forward, her feet wobbling.

When Avery got inside, Sebastian wasn't in the room. Like always, she would have to eat alone and do everything alone. It's fine with her,but still, she wishes she was still in touch with Daniella, but her friend has screwed up by betraying her.

Avery walked into her bedroom to freshen up. She made sure to scrub her shoulder and all the places Logan touched. After taking a warm bath in the bathtub, she soaked the clothes she wore inside a laundry sink. 

Right now, she just wants to get rid of Logan's scent and touch off her body.

She couldn't sleep again after dressing up. She wondered if it was time for her to just take a tour around the mansion and all. 

"I might find some things about him," she murmured silently, taking her phone with her.

Avery wore the slippers and walked out of the room. She made sure the clothes she wore covered her entire body. Her eyes danced around the room, as she descended the stairs.

She remembered Sebastian walking inside the giant door in one part of the sitting room.

"Maybe it leads to a tunnel or underground," Avery thought, pushing the door forward. 

She stepped inside, but instead of a tunnel or underground room, she saw a lobby. Wide, like a veranda.

Her heart thumped in her chest, but she knew it was because of the vibe the place was giving.

Nevertheless, she stepped in. Avery walked down the lobby and saw another door. Her lips parted, and her curiosity tugged at her. Avery crossed her heart before turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. 

She let out the breath she had been holding when she saw the interior. 

"Oh, my fucking goodness!" Avery cursed. Her jaw dropped, taking in the beauty of the room. 

It was a gym room filled with all kinds of equipment. She stepped into the gym room. She could see a swimming pool outside. The glass wall was the only thing separating the pool from the gym.  

Avery headed to where all sizes of barbells lay on the floor. She tried to lift the smallest barbell on the ground, but the next words she heard from the shell of her ear made her turn towards the source of the male voice.

"Are you trying to get two to three of your bones crushed?" Sebastian asked. His dark eyes locked with hers.

Goosebumps form on her skin because of his close proximity. She took two steps away from him, almost tripping over the barbells lying on the floor.

Avery let out a fake chuckle, coughing at the end. She stretched her back to stand straight. Her eyes trailed over his body. The white shirt he wore clung to his body, showing the taut muscles underneath.

"It's beautiful, and I won't get hurt just by carrying this," Avery whispered. She barely recognized her own voice.

"Did you just whisper, Avery?" Avery scolded herself in her subconscious mind. She slapped her hand in shock.

Sebastian watched with different emotions shown on her face. She is like an open book to him, but he remembered the first night he met her. She was more bold when she was under the influence of the drug. Sebastian shakes the thought off, walking past her.

"If that will be all, then you should excuse me. I need to use this place," Sebastian said, looking at her with a stoic expression. 

Avery didn't bother to interject. She left the gym room quietly as soon as she could. 

"The audacity!" Avery yelled, stamping her feet on the ground when he got outside. 

"Did he hate me that much?"

"I'm glad to know we are both on the same path," Avery assured herself, going back to her room. She didn't stop humming a song as she lay on the bed. Her gaze was glued to the wall of the ceiling, cursing the world for being so cruel and mean towards her.

After taking the night's meal alone, Avery tried to catch some sleep while listening to her favorite music.
