**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 339**
**CONTENT: Chapter 339 Discovery**
As Ariana studied the conflicted look on Triny’s face, a wave of urgency surged within her. It was time to dispel the haze of uncertainty clouding her friend’s heart. “Triny,” she began, her tone a blend of firmness and empathy, “this endless cycle of doubt and ‘what-ifs’ has to stop. You creative souls often get so lost in your introspection, while those of us in science and engineering are much more straightforward and blunt. Sure, take your time to ponder your feelings if you must, but don’t come to me later, tears streaming down your face, when someone else swoops in and takes him.” With that, she decisively pulled out her phone, its screen illuminating her face like a beacon of determination.
Triny felt a tightening knot in her chest, a tempest of anxiety and sudden clarity washing over her. Deep down, she knew Ariana was right; she had to find the courage to express her feelings. Yet, the ever-present chill that seemed to emanate from Sebastian made her instinctively retreat. The burden of her upbringing as a high-society heiress loomed over her like a dark cloud, a constant reminder that she had to maintain her image and dignity. Her pride would never allow her to appear overly eager or vulnerable, leaving her ensnared in the very web she had spun for herself.
Meanwhile, outside the towering Empire Group headquarters, Lillian stood mesmerized, her gaze locked onto the monumental structure that loomed above her like a guardian of ambition. The bold, gleaming letters spelling “Empire Group” seemed to reach for the heavens, a testament to the power and influence contained within its walls. While she had visited various branch offices before, this was her inaugural encounter with the main headquarters, and the experience was both exhilarating and daunting.
The M-shaped edifice dominated Kingston’s tech district, its sleek black glass façade reflecting the world around it while standing as an impenetrable fortress. The modern design exuded an allure that felt almost surreal, a fitting home for the aspirations that thrived within.
Taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart, Lillian retrieved her phone and dialed the number she knew by heart, anticipation coursing through her veins like electricity.
The call connected almost immediately, and a deep, magnetic voice resonated through the speaker. “Lillian, are you already missing me?”
A smile blossomed on Lillian’s face, warmth flooding her cheeks as joy bubbled within her. “Absolutely. Your charms have completely ensnared me, and I would be honored if Mr. Whitmore could join me for dinner. Would you do me that favor?”
“Where are you located?” Sebastian’s voice was direct, his tone unwavering, cutting through the air like a knife.
Lillian tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling as she gazed up at the skyscraper’s upper floors. “Right here, right before your eyes.”
Inside the conference room, Sebastian sprang to his feet, his heart racing as he approached the floor-to-ceiling window. Below, he spotted a small figure, and even from such a distance, he recognized Lillian instantly, a rush of warmth flooding his chest.
The atmosphere in the room shifted, the other attendees exchanging knowing glances. Ever since the chairman’s public display of affection during a recent meeting, it had become common knowledge that he had a fiancée. The expression on Sebastian’s face as he spoke on the phone left no doubt in anyone’s mind about who was on the other end.
“Stay right there. Don’t move a muscle. Wait for me,” he commanded before abruptly ending the call. His sharp gaze swept across the conference room, urgency igniting within him. “Redo all of the plans. Every last one of them.”
With that, he strode out of the conference room, his mind laser-focused on reaching Lillian.
In the bustling lobby, the exclusive elevator chimed melodiously as its doors slid open, revealing Sebastian, who stepped out with purpose, walking briskly.
Triny’s heart raced at the sight of him. Could it be that he knew she was here and had hurried down just to see her?
