Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 201

Miranda nodded. "Yeah. Why, are you thinking of going too?"

Hannah shook her head. "Nah, the entertainment industry isn't really my thing. But your movie is about to hit the theaters, right? I've already told all the sisters to book out a screening."

Talking about Miranda's movie got Hannah all fired up.

Miranda chuckled and pointed to the bracelet she had just picked out, telling the sales assistant assigned to her, "Add this bracelet to my list, please."

"Certainly, Ms. Lancaster."

After selecting her items, Miranda instinctively glanced back at Sebastian, who was engaged in a conversation nearby.

But as soon as Miranda's eyes found him, he seemed to sense it and turned to meet her gaze. He raised his glass, offering Miranda a charming smile, exuding a warmth that felt like a gentle spring breeze.

Miranda returned a polite smile. Yet, Sebastian's eyes lingered on her a moment longer, not retreating immediately.

The executive chatting with Sebastian chuckled. "Mr. Everhart, it seems you and Ms. Lancaster have quite the rapport."

Sebastian only gave a faint smile. "We've crossed paths a few times."

The executive nodded knowingly. "You know, Mr. Everhart, they say young folks' feelings are like a fastball. If you take too long, someone else might catch it."

Though Sebastian's mouth held its curve, the amusement seemed to vanish, which caused the executive abruptly clammed up. He awkwardly laughed. "Just a random thought."

Sebastian looked at him, smiling slightly. "You're not wrong."

The executive quickly joined in the laughter, not daring to say more.

Those who'd worked with Sebastian knew well enough: he seemed agreeable, but stepped on his toes, and they'd regret it.

Just as she approached her car, she noticed Sebastian stepping out as well, flanked by four or five bodyguards.

He gazed over at Miranda and gave her a courteous nod. Miranda nodded back. As she was about to get into her car, Sebastian called out.

"Ms. Lancaster."

Miranda turned, curious, as there was no one else around. Sebastian's eyes held a gentle humor. "Did you find the jewelry you like?"

Miranda nodded. "I did."

She hadn't bought anything for herself, but she'd chosen gifts for others.

Little did Miranda know, all the pieces she selected had been charged to Sebastian's account. The staff hadn't told her, and since she'd initially presented her card, she assumed it was just a slow process or a delayed transaction.
