Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267: The Girl’s Identity

Lillian made her way directly to the office on the top floor. The desk was already buried under a mountain of paperwork—clearly, word had spread that she was in Kingston, and everyone was eager to offload their tasks onto her.

She shook her head with a soft chuckle, sliding into the chair, and immediately began sorting through the towering stack of files.

Not long after, a knock came at the door—then it swung open before she could respond.

Ryan entered with a playful smirk. “Ms. Harrington, finally decided to show up. I was starting to think you’d never make it.”

Lillian responded with a cool laugh. “Is that so? Funny, I don’t recall you ever waiting for me like this before.”

“How could I not? You’re the backbone of this company—the heart and soul of everything we do.”

She shook her head again, a flicker of amusement shining in her eyes. She was beginning to understand her team better: outwardly distant and professional, but behind closed doors, a bunch of jokers.

“Cut the flattery,” she said smoothly. “Get the legal team working on a contract. Mr. Morris from Kingston General Hospital wants us to supply their medication. Make sure this one is handled by the book.”

Ryan raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Kingston General Hospital? When did we start working with them?”

“Met them during this trip,” Lillian answered casually. “No need to overthink it. Just follow company policy to the letter.”

Ryan looked at his young boss with genuine respect. She had a remarkable talent for dropping surprises with a calm, unreadable expression—one after another.

“Understood. I’ll have legal draft it right away. And about Skyreach Jewels—all the paperwork is complete. What’s the next move?”

Before she could reply, another knock interrupted them.

An older woman flipping through files didn’t even look up. “Here’s a piece of advice: don’t gossip about that girl in this company. Back when we were still at Solara, she was often seen in the chairwoman’s office. Nobody knew who she really was, but everyone knew one thing—the three general managers of Skyreach Group treated her with absolute respect. That says everything you need to know.”

The room fell silent. The new hires quickly dispersed back to their desks, pretending to be busy.

With Skyreach Group expanding into Kingston, many new employees had joined the team. Most didn’t understand the company’s unspoken rules, but the veterans certainly did.

Meanwhile, inside the office, Lillian stared at the glass of milk with a puzzled expression. Ryan raised his hands in mock surrender. “Don’t blame me. Night said that whenever you’re here, I have to make sure you drink milk. Whatever nutrition you can get out of it—that’s on you.”

Lillian pressed her palm to her forehead, exasperated. “Fine. You win.” Of all things, it had to be milk—the one thing she’d despised her entire life.

Fighting down a wave of nausea, she forced herself to take two reluctant sips before returning to work alongside Ryan.

Twisting a pen thoughtfully between her fingers, Lillian said, “When we acquired Million Corp, I remember several jewelry stores under their brand. We renovated them all as showrooms for Skyreach Jewels. We’ll do the same here in Kingston. No storefront retail—just high-end, custom pieces. That’s how we’ll build Skyreach Jewels’ reputation.”
