The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

"Sebastian, you're back?" Ellie exclaimed with joy.

Sebastian nodded. "Mom, how have you been?"

"I'm fine. Where are you? I'll come find you," Ellie said.

Sebastian laid out his plan. "I'm going to the police station first, then I'll come home to take a shower. Tonight, I'll pick you and Molly up from work and take you out for dinner."

Ellie chuckled, "So, your real plan is to pick up Molly, huh? The dinner is just a cover. I'm just the sidekick in this whole scheme."

Sebastian just smiled and didn't deny it. "Well, you've got Timothy. He'll keep you company at dinner. Molly, on the other hand, has no one but me. I want to be there for her tonight."

Ellie teased, "With you around, how could she be pitiful?"

She glanced at the calendar and reminded Sebastian, "Today is Molly's last day at work. She's going out for a farewell dinner with her colleagues tonight. I'll send you the address, and you can pick her up there." Unknowingly, the summer vacation had flown by.

Sebastian had promised Molly many things, but in the end, he hadn't fulfilled any of them.

Plans often fell apart, and Sebastian was feeling that firsthand.

"Alright," Sebastian agreed with a laugh. "By the way, Mom, don't tell Molly I'm back. I want to surprise her."

Ellie chuckled, "Alright. Spoil her as much as you want; you'll have her utterly pampered in no time."

After hanging up, he headed straight to the police station.

"Mr. Chase, you're finally back."

Sebastian looked at his subordinate. "What's going on? Did something big happen at the station?"

The subordinate replied seriously, "No big cases, but Molly has one."

Sebastian's smile gradually faded. "Come to my office and explain in detail!"

Molly happily clocked out of work, taking photos to commemorate the end of her working life. Her happy days were about to return.

After work, she and her colleagues went straight to the pre-booked restaurant. After two months together, they had all become familiar with each other. Molly's upbeat personality made her a blast to chat with, and she had made many friends.

"Molly, we're going to miss you so much."

Molly laughed, "I'll miss you guys, too, but I'm going back to live a life of luxury."

The group was all smiles. Molly wasn't the least bit arrogant. She mingled effortlessly with everyone, speaking candidly.

"Molly, we don't know when we'll see you next," one colleague remarked.

Molly replied, "If you want to see me, you can always do so tomorrow."

Everyone laughed again. "The MS Group belongs to your mom!, so you come and go as you please."

"Exactly, we're just having a meal today. I'll probably be back at the company next vacation, and we'll see each other then," Molly said cheerfully.

Molly raised her glass. "But I still want to say thank you.

"As a newcomer to the workplace and not a student in this field, I was completely clueless about everything when I first joined the company, and I have caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I want to thank you for your tolerance and help during this time; I also want to thank my team leader and my supervisor for their guidance and care. I have gained a lot in these two months. I will always remember your kindness."

She made sure to thank her colleagues, superiors, and bosses, and everyone at the table watched her with warm smiles.

After all, this was her family's company. Molly continued, "Many of you have been part of the MS Group for years. The MS Group is like a close-knit family, and your long-standing presence here reflects your alignment with its culture and operational ethos. I hope that each one of you will remain with the MS Group for many more years, until retirement. I wish you all success in your work, happiness in life, and all the best."

After speaking, she stood up and took a drink.

"Molly, that's wine. You should drink less."

Molly said, "It's okay, I'm not driving. Ellie is picking me up tonight," Molly was the only employee in the MS Group who treated the CEO as her chauffeur.

As night fell and streetlights flickered on, pedestrians hurried along the dimly lit streets.

Sebastian glanced at his watch; it was already nine o'clock. Molly sure could eat.

A white car was parked outside the barbecue restaurant.

It was a new car Sebastian had just bought; his previous car had been totaled in an accident. He had been driving an old family car for a while, and Molly had mentioned several times that she wanted to ride in a new car. He'd kept that in mind and secretly ordered one.

Molly didn't know about this car.

He was still in the car, imagining how excited Molly would be when she saw him and jumped into his arms when his phone suddenly rang.

Sebastian picked it up and saw it was Ellie calling.

He answered, "Mom?"

"Sebastian, have you picked up Molly yet?"

Sebastian looked around. "I haven't seen her come out."

Ellie sighed, "Your surprise might go up in smoke. Just go inside and bring her out yourself."

Sebastian was puzzled.

Ellie was on a date with Timothy, enjoying thick-cut steak, rose-scented candles, and the elegant sound of a cello. They were reminiscing about old times when she received a tearful call from Molly. "Mom, I love you. Mom, I really love you. I love my dads, too, and I love my brothers. I love you all so much."

Ellie asked, "Why are you crying?"

Timothy looked at Ellie. "Is she drunk?"

Ellie asked again, "Are you drunk?"

Molly continued to express her love. "I'm so happy. I've met so many good people. Mom and Dad, I never want to leave you, and Randall and Vera, and Cindy. But I love Sebastian the most. I miss Sebastian." Someone on Molly's end was trying to comfort her, "Molly, don't cry. We'll take you home, and you'll feel better after you sleep."

Ellie closed her eyes in frustration. She thought, 'How much has Molly drunk to be crying like this?'

Soon, Molly's phone was taken by Paul. "Ms. Wright, this is Paul. Molly drank too much and is drunk. She's been crying. Are you home? I'll bring her back."

Ellie replied, "No need. Sebastian has been waiting for her for three hours outside the restaurant where you all dined."

After that, Ellie called Sebastian, "Molly is drunk and crying, saying she loves you the most. You better go get her before she starts causing a scene."
