Chapter 728 Citrine was about to protest, insisting she didn't need the help, but seeing how determined he was, she finally closed her eyes.

Once her eyes were shut, Sebastian pressed his fingers a bit more firmly against her temples.

The cool touch of his fingertips circled gently, easing away the tension that had been throbbing at her head. Slowly, the discomfort faded, replaced by a soothing calm.

She couldn't help but ask, "Sebastian, have you ever done this before? You're awfully good at it." "Maybe I'm just naturally gifted," he replied. Sebastian paused briefly at her question, unable to hold back a soft laugh.

Citrine let the conversation drop, surrendering to the comforting sensation of his skillful hands. Watching as the tension in her brow melted away, Sebastian couldn't help but smile to himself.

As he continued, drowsiness crept up on Citrine, and before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

Once he realized she'd dozed off, Sebastian's hands stilled, though he remained in the scareful posture, not wanting to disturb her.

He found himself studying her peaceful features, emotions surging within him.

If Citrine had opened her eyes at that moment, she would have seen the fierce, unmistakable tenderness in Sebastian's gaze-so intense it could have burned her.

Sebastian brushed a stray strand of hair from her face with the gentlest touch. Whatever you want from me, Citrine, I'll do it. I promise.

Thinking of everything she'd entrusted to him, he allowed himself the smallest, secretive smile.

An hour later, the car pulled up at their destination, and Citrine stirred awake. The moment she opened her eyes, she sensed something was off.

She was nestled against Sebastian's chest, his arm curled behind her neck, half embracing her. Their closeness was unexpectedly intimate.

Snapping fully awake, she immediately pulled away, gently untangling herself from his arm and sitting upright. Sebastian, feeling her movement, opened his eyes as well. Their gazes met, and for a moment, awkwardness hung in the air.

The silence was finally broken by the driver's voice from the front seat: "Ms. Chairman, Mr. Vesper, we've arrived." Citrine cleared her throat and quickly composed herself, stepping out of the car ahead of Sebastian.

He watched her retreating figure with an amused smile, then followed after her.

At the hotel, Carlotta Yarbrough handed out room keys to everyone. Each person grabbed their luggage and headed up to their ocean-view suites.

The accommodations were impressive; from the window, the vast blue sea stretched out as far as the eye could see.

Once in her room, Citrine unpacked her suitcase and was about to change clothes when the doorbell rang.

She walked over and pulled the door open.

Carlotta greeted her with a bright smile. "Citrine, the team's planning to go surfing in a bit, and they madepromise to invite you." Citrine wasn't one to spoil the fun. "Sure, countin," she replied without hesitation.

As she started to close the door, Carlotta added with a mischievous grin, "Oh, and everyone's wearing bikinis. Don't forget yours!" Citrine couldn't help but laugh. "Got it." A few minutes later, she had freshened up and changed into the bikini she'd brought for the trip-just as everyone had hoped.

It was practically a rite of passage to get great photos when visiting an island paradise.

Draping a cover-up over her shoulders, Citrine stepped out of her

room. At the stime, Sebastian emerged from the suite next door, and the two of them nearly bumped into each other in the hallway. Sebastian took in her beach attire. "Heading out?" Citrine nodded.

"I'll cwith you." In the end, they left together.

A small group was already gathered at the hotel entrance, waiting When they spotted Citrine and Sebastian arriving side by side, everyone's eyes lit up.

Rumors had already been swirling around the office about the pair's their unusual closeness. Seeing them together now, their colleagues couldn't help but whisper and nudge each other. "They look amazing together." "My god, I've never realized just how perfect they are as a couple until now."
