Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Sebastian Visits Skyreach Group

Sebastian’s dark eyes glistened with a rare softness as he spoke in a low, tender tone, “You’re still at the office?”

Lillian responded evenly, her voice steady despite the exhaustion beneath it. “Yeah. After finishing up over there, I came straight here. There’s just so much to do—everything feels urgent.”

“Have you eaten lunch?” he asked, concern threading through his words.

A pang of guilt nudged her conscience, and she quickly masked it with a light, casual reply. “Of course, I have.”

Sebastian’s brows drew together slightly, his voice carrying a subtle reproach. “Lillian, whenever you lie, your tone drops a little.”

Caught off guard for a moment, Lillian blinked and then let out a soft laugh. “Really? You’re paying more attention to me than I realized.”

He rubbed his forehead, a hint of helplessness coloring his voice. “Lillian, I can read every expression, every subtle move you make.”

“Alright, you got me,” she admitted quietly, conceding defeat.

His eyes flickered with a trace of exasperation, but the warmth in his voice remained. “Stay there and wait for me. I’m coming.”

The moment the call ended, Sebastian grabbed the jacket draped over his chair and strode purposefully out of the room, Foster close behind him.

The car soon pulled up in front of the Skyreach Group’s building. It was Sebastian’s first time entering the realm of the little one’s domain.

The Empire Group’s towering headquarters, with its sleek, modern design and cutting-edge architecture, still managed to leave him impressed despite his familiarity.

As he stepped into the polished lobby of Skyreach, the usual murmur of conversations quieted instantly. Every gaze turned toward the tall, dark figure in the vintage tailored suit—his sharp, sculpted features the very definition of perfection, his obsidian eyes cold and unreadable, carrying an aura so commanding it demanded respect and submission.

Linda quickly approached, her tone polite yet cautious. “Hello, sir. Who are you here to see?”

“I have an appointment with Ms. Harrington,” Sebastian replied coolly, striding toward the elevators. As the doors slid open, Foster stepped in behind him, effectively shielding him from the curious stares of those on the floor.

“Ms. Harrington?” murmurs of confusion rippled among the onlookers.

Suddenly, a gasp broke out as someone recognized him. “I know who that is! She’s the real boss behind the scenes—Harrington.”
