Chapter 127 Lilian Visits Empire Group
Lilian arrived by taxi at the Solara branch of Empire Group.
Finished
Before her stood a grand, awe-inspiring structure, its tower stretching skyward. The sleek black glass façade shimmered under the sun. The words “Empire Group” crowned the building in bold letters-simple, yet commanding reverence.
This was her first time visiting Sebastian’s workplace. Though it was only a branch office, it was a place many could only dream of entering.
At the building’s entrance, employees bustled in and out, every one of them in a rush.
Lilian stepped inside, dressed in a white coat and wearing a duck-themed face mask and gloves. Her appearance stood out in the sleek, modern lobby. A receptionist approached politely.
“Hello, who are you here to see p>
“I’m here for your CEO,” Lilian answered directly.
The receptionist was taken aback. “Do you have an appointment p>
“No,” Lilian replied. She had planned this as a surprise—what kind of surprise would it be if she made an appointment? But looking at the situation now, she was starting to regret not giving him a heads-up.
“I’m sorry, but without an appointment, I can’t let you up p>
Lilian understood. Skyreach Group had similar policies. High-level execs had a packed schedule-there was no way they could meet with just anyone.
She was about to call Sebastian when a familiar, excited voice called out, “Lilian p>
“It’s really you! You’re dressed like this-I almost didn’t recognize you p>
Lilian looked up in confusion and spotted a young man in a burgundy draped coat and slim black pants—a loud, flamboyant outfit. It took her a second to remember who he was.
Cameron smiled. “Good thing you still remember me. I’d be heartbroken if you forgot. I mean, come on- I’m this good-looking.” He struck a dramatic pose for effect.
Lilian chuckled. “Yeah, I remember you.” With a personality like his, it was impossible to forget.
“So, little Lilian-are you here to see Sebastian p>
“Yeah. But I don’t have an appointment. I was just about to call him.” She raised her phone to dial.
Cameron snatched the phone from her hand. “Call him? Why? The front desk girl doesn’t know any better. Come on, I’ll take you up. If Sebastian finds out you came and didn’t see him, he’d be devastated.” He turned to the receptionist. “Lilian’s family. Don’t block her next time p>
Before Lilian could react, Cameron was already pulling her toward the elevator.
The receptionist stood stunned. Wait… family?

Chapter 127 Lilian Visits Empire Group
Finished
When they reached the top floor, the elevator doors slid open just as the meeting room doors were pushed
out.
Sebastian emerged, surrounded by executives.
He wore a charcoal shirt and matching vest, reminiscent of a refined European gentleman. The top two buttons were undone, adding a hint of allure. His diamond cufflinks and Patek Philippe watch spoke of understated wealth and taste.
His expression was serious as he reviewed a document, brow slightly furrowed. After reading it through, he handed it off to the woman beside him.
This was the first time Lilian had seen him in work mode. That striking face combined with his air of authority-it was enough to make anyone stop and stare:
“Sebastian!” Cameron called out.
Sebastian immediately looked up. His deep eyes swept past Cameron and landed on the girl behind him. His stern expression melted into a gentle warmth.
Seeing her starlit eyes, Sebastian instinctively strode toward her, obsidian eyes fixed on her as he asked softly, “When did you get here p>
Lilian smiled. “Just now. I ran into Cameron downstairs, so we came up together.” She gestured toward the man beside her.
“Yeah! If it weren’t for me, Lilian wouldn’t have made it up here,” Cameron said proudly, clearly fishing for praise.
Sebastian ignored him completely. Wrapping an arm around Lilian’s shoulder, he led her toward his office.
Cameron, feeling thoroughly snubbed, quickly followed. But just as he reached the door-
It shut in his face.
He stood frozen, like an abandoned puppy.
Foster walked over with a smile. “Mr. Cameron, why don’t we head to the lounge? It’s been a while since the boss saw this young lady-there’s no way he’s letting any third wheels in p>
The group of executives who’d followed behind stood stunned.
“Wait… what’s going on here? Is that his girlfriend p>
“Has to be. Why else would he have his arm around her p>
“She looks so young though p>
“She’s wearing a mask-hard to tell what she looks like p>
But one figure in the crowd stared at the closed office door, eyes flashing with a cold, ruthless glint-before silently turning and leaving.
