Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 538

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 538**
**Chapter 538: The Appointment**

Lillian’s lips curled into a sly, almost mischievous smile, the kind that hinted at secrets yet to be unveiled. “That launch will only matter if it succeeds. If the new product fails, I don’t believe Henry has the ability to turn the tide,” she declared, her voice laced with a blend of confidence and skepticism.

Sebastian regarded her with an amused glint in his eyes, clearly entertained by her playful demeanor. “You little troublemaker, did you do something?” he asked, a teasing tone threading through his words.

A mysterious smile danced across Lillian’s face, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Take a guess,” she replied, her tone inviting him to unravel the enigma she had woven.

Sebastian’s gaze deepened, intrigued by her playful yet cunning expression. He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “Well, well. So now you’ve even learned how to keep me guessing,” he mused, a hint of admiration in his tone.

“Of course,” Lillian shot back, her cheekiness evident. “You know what they say—spend enough time with someone, and you’ll pick up their habits. Even if I can’t match you entirely, I should be able to manage eight out of ten.”

In a sudden burst of playfulness, Sebastian pushed her gently down against the plush sofa, his strong arms enveloping her. His low, magnetic voice brushed against her ear like a warm breeze. “Looks like you really do need some discipline. Daring to make jokes about me? If I don’t put you in your place, you’ll be climbing on top of me one of these days.”

Lillian smirked, a glint of mischief in her eyes. “How could I? Weren’t you the one who said you wanted to spoil me until I was impossible to control? I’ve barely started. You’ll have to keep spoiling me,” she teased, her tone light yet challenging.

Off to the side, Unno observed the scene with a raised eyebrow, then promptly decided to make his exit. A single man had no business lingering in the midst of such intimate banter.

After they finished breakfast, Sebastian prepared to leave for an important company meeting. Foster was already waiting by the door, his impatience palpable.

“You really won’t come with me?” he asked, a hint of disappointment creeping into his voice.

Without missing a beat, Lillian picked up an empty cup, poured tea into it, and placed it before him with a graceful flourish. “Wasn’t this all part of your plan anyway?” she countered, her voice steady and direct.

Richard lifted the cup, taking a measured sip before responding with a faint smile. “True. I just didn’t think you’d come see me this early,” he admitted, a hint of surprise in his tone.

Her smile remained cool, her demeanor unwavering. “Since you already know why I’m here, let’s not waste words. I want to know Renee’s real reason for returning to Dracovia.” The words tumbled from her lips, laden with urgency. Something about Renee’s return felt off-kilter, and the nature of her relationship with Nicholas gnawed at Lillian, leaving her restless.

Richard let out a low, amused laugh. “Ms. Harrington is as direct as ever. I’m not sure how to answer you,” he replied, a playful challenge lingering in his voice.

Lillian leaned back in her chair, adopting a relaxed posture, yet her eyes remained sharp and focused. “At the charity banquet, you made it clear you know what lies between me and Renee. You should also know there are debts between us that haven’t been settled. The fact that you brought it up suggests you stand on my side of the line. Since our goals align, there’s no need for us to play games.” Her words were firm, leaving no room for ambiguity.
