Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 334

**Chapter 334: Trouble at the Front Desk**

Celeste felt a wave of heat wash over her cheeks, the vibrant crimson hue a stark contrast to her usual composed demeanor, all thanks to Rachel’s pointed remarks.

Noticing the flush that crept across Celeste’s face, Rachel’s voice softened, though it retained an unmistakable edge. “Celeste, you must remember that you are still in the early stages of your career in this industry. It’s crucial to remain humble. If you’re not careful, you might inadvertently offend someone, and that could cost you valuable opportunities down the line. Do you grasp what I’m saying?”

Celeste, feeling the weight of Rachel’s words, nodded earnestly. “I understand, Rachel. I really do.”

At that moment, Randall glanced at his watch, a hint of urgency in his tone as he inquired, “Rachel, when is the meeting scheduled with Mr. Wayne from Skyreach Group?”

Rachel responded without missing a beat, “It’s set for tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock. Randall, this collaboration is pivotal; you cannot afford to take it lightly. You’ve seen the meteoric rise of Skyreach Group over the last few years. Every film they’ve released has turned into a blockbuster hit. This is a golden opportunity for you.”

Randall nodded, his expression serious. “Understood,” he replied simply, then leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes as he allowed himself a moment of respite.

The flight stretched on for nearly two hours, the anticipation building until they finally touched down at Kingston Airport, the wheels of the plane screeching against the runway.

As Lillian exited the terminal, she spotted Wayne waiting for her outside, a broad smile plastered across his face.

“Well, well! Mr. Wayne himself, making time in his busy schedule to pick me up?” she teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Wayne chuckled as he opened the car door for her. “You’re the one keeping me well-fed; even if the sky were raining knives, I’d still be here to collect you.”

Lillian shook her head, a soft laugh escaping her lips. She had come to realize that Wayne had completely shed his professional facade; his playful nature rivaled even Cameron’s antics.

As the car pulled away, it merged onto the airport expressway, the scenery blurring past them.

Unbeknownst to them, Randall had just stepped out of the terminal and caught sight of the scene unfolding before him. He watched as the car pulled away, a flicker of curiosity dancing in his eyes.

Lillian nodded, reaching out to take the bag from his hand. “Have the candidates you selected for the endorsement been reviewed by Ryan yet?” she asked, a hint of concern in her voice.

Wayne let out a resigned sigh. “Not yet. You know how he is—he wouldn’t dare waste a single moment of his precious time. He’d rather bury himself in data for twenty-four hours than step outside. He mentioned waiting for you so you could review them together.”

Lillian couldn’t help but chuckle helplessly. That man viewed the world through two lenses: people and data. Yet he incessantly spoke of wanting to find love; I sometimes wonder if he even knows who he wants to fall for.

Just as they stepped into the Skyreach building, the sharp sound of a woman’s voice pierced through the air at the front desk, drawing their attention.

“Excuse me, but when exactly will Mr. Wayne be back? You told me it would be soon. Lisa has been waiting here for almost an hour, and he’s still nowhere to be found. What is the meaning of this?”

Linda, the receptionist, maintained her composure, her smile unwavering as she responded, “I apologize, but Mr. Wayne truly had an urgent matter to attend to. We’re not entirely sure when he’ll return. Moreover, you didn’t make an appointment; without that, the secretary’s office wouldn’t have you on the schedule.”

The woman let out a sharp, derisive laugh. “An appointment? Seriously? Sure, Skyreach has had a few hits in the past two years, but let’s be honest—your company hasn’t even established a solid foothold in Kingston yet. We represent Memo Entertainment, a titan in this industry. Lisa coming here at all is already a courtesy to Mr. Wayne, and you’re telling me we need an appointment?”
