Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Sebastian at the Skyreach Group Meeting Continues

Wayne and Lillian had stepped aside, engrossed in a serious business discussion, while Sebastian reclined comfortably on the sofa, his eyes never leaving Lillian. She commanded the conversation with a graceful confidence that was impossible to ignore. Her presence was magnetic—she shone brightly, radiating a beauty that seemed to pierce straight through to his very soul.

As the hours slipped by, the weight of mounting company issues kept them tied up in conversation. By the time they finally wrapped things up, the sky outside had darkened, signaling the arrival of night. Wayne was the first to rise, excusing himself with a nod and heading toward the door—after all, there was still someone waiting patiently in the room.

Lillian stretched languidly, raising her arms above her head, her fingers reaching toward the ceiling as she glanced at the neat pile of files still resting on the table.

Sebastian, having tossed the papers aside, moved over to her with purposeful strides. Without hesitation, he slipped his arms around her waist, lifting her effortlessly and setting her down atop the desk. His forehead came to rest gently against hers as he murmured softly, “You’ve been avoiding me all day. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

She caught the playful yet serious look in his eyes and responded with a sly smile. “Oh? Is the handsome man before me really complaining about being neglected?”

Lowering his head just enough to let his lips brush near her ear, his voice dropped to a husky whisper, laced with a lazy charm that was dangerously enticing. “Exactly. I’m harboring quite a bit of resentment. So, tell me—how do you intend to make it up to me? Choose your answer carefully.”

Her grin deepened, mischievous and teasing. “How about… I treat you to another dinner?”

Sebastian nodded thoughtfully, as if weighing the proposal, then replied smoothly, “Alright. But only if you serve yourself alongside the meal. That would make it perfect.”

A rosy blush spread across her cheeks. She playfully swatted at him, pouting. “Stop trying to charm me like that. Your face should come with a warning label.”

He chuckled, unable to hide his amusement. “So I really have that much effect on you, huh? You little lovestruck fool.” Reaching out, he gently pinched her nose.

Lillian paused for a moment, then bristled in mock indignation. “Lovestruck? Look who’s talking!”

She pushed him away lightly, hopped down from the desk, and huffed, “I’ve still got work to finish. I’m ignoring you now.” With that, she returned to her seat, eyes flicking back to the documents in front of her.

Sebastian watched her flustered expression and laughed quietly to himself.

Lillian caught the smug look on his face and cursed silently. Damn it—he’d gotten her again.

Meanwhile, in a VIP suite at the luxurious Imperial Hotel…

Cameron, Manny, Fawks, and Elaine were gathered there, along with several women, including Ivy and Noreen.

Without hesitation, Cameron grabbed the phone. “Fine, I’ll call. Who’s scared?” He dialed Sebastian’s number.

Back at the Skyreach Group office…

Sebastian sat quietly at his desk, feeding Lillian bite after bite. “Just one more, sweetheart. You have to try this.”

She continued to skim through the documents, accepting the food he offered with a grateful smile.

The atmosphere between them was calm and intimate, a rare peaceful moment amid the chaos of the day.

Suddenly, Sebastian’s phone rang, breaking the silence.

He picked it up, and Cameron’s voice came through, sharp and impatient.

“Sebastian! Where the hell are you? We’re all at the Imperial Hotel waiting for you!”
