Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Lillian’s Inspection

Over the past two years, Skyreach Group had expanded at a breathtaking speed, transforming itself into a powerhouse in the financial district.

Outside the towering glass facade, a constant flow of business magnates and high-profile visitors came and went. The parking lot was a dazzling display of luxury vehicles—sleek sports cars, polished sedans, and rare models that caught the eye. Among them, a custom-made Rolls-Royce rolled up smoothly, its unique design turning heads and sparking whispers among onlookers.

“Wow, look at that—an ultra-rare, custom Rolls-Royce. You can’t just buy something like that off the shelf,” one passerby murmured admiringly.

“Maybe it’s an investor coming for a big deal with Skyreach,” another suggested, eyes fixed on the car.

“Could be. Everyone knows how Skyreach has shot up in just two years. Just look at the crowd of investors flocking here every day—hundreds, if not thousands. It’s the envy of the whole city,” a third voice added.

“Or maybe it’s a celebrity. Stars seem to drop by Skyreach all the time,” someone else speculated.

“True, that happens too,” came the response.

Nearby, a group of young female employees paused, their eyes lingering on the Rolls-Royce with a mixture of admiration and envy as they exchanged hushed comments.

Skyreach Group had become the beating heart of the financial district, occupying two entire skyscrapers, with neighboring towers filled by other prominent companies. Employees streamed in and out in a steady rhythm, their presence a testament to the company’s prestige. Landing a job here was a coveted achievement, and the fleet of luxury cars parked out front was a visible sign of the company’s generosity and success.

Lillian’s gaze lifted to the imposing building, its glass windows reflecting the bright morning sun. “I’m going in,” she declared softly. Without hesitation, she reached for the door handle.

Just as her fingers brushed the cool metal, Sebastian’s hand shot out, gently pulling her back. Pressing his forehead against hers, he whispered in a low, almost haunted tone, “I regret letting you go. I should have kept you locked away forever, so you’d belong only to me.”

Despite the seriousness in his voice, Lillian couldn’t help but laugh quietly. Since waking up, Sebastian had perfected the art of shameless declarations.

A tender smile spread across her lips. “Sebastian, have I ever told you that meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me?” she asked softly, recalling all he had done for her over the past two years. She didn’t want to upset him now.

“I’m afraid without an appointment, I can’t let you through,” the receptionist said, her expression tightening.

“Then please contact Ms. Karina and tell her I’m Lillian. She will come to see me,” Lillian insisted, her voice steady.

The receptionist gave her a dismissive glance, impatience flickering in her eyes. “I’m sorry, but Ms. Karina’s schedule is completely booked today. She doesn’t meet with just anyone. Do you even realize where you are right now?”

Every day, attractive faces walked through these doors, hoping for a moment with Ms. Karina. Did this girl really think she could catch the attention of someone so busy just because she looked nice? Skyreach was a magnet for real celebrities, not random girls with unrealistic dreams.

Lillian’s lips curled into a cold, knowing smile. “Then tell me, young lady—where exactly am I?”

With a confident tilt of her chin, the receptionist replied smugly, “You’re at Skyreach Group. Do you know how many people try to meet Ms. Karina daily? You think she has time for everyone? My advice, little girl, is to focus on your studies and stop chasing wild fantasies.” She then gestured toward a group entering the building. “See that? That’s Hans, one of the hottest stars right now. That’s the kind of company Ms. Karina keeps. So do yourself a favor and head back to school.”
