As Lilian stepped into the office, she took in the surroundings. It was her first time seeing where Sebastian worked. The room was designed in pure black tones-minimalist, bold, and refined. Behind the desk stood a full-length window wall, and several understated art pieces adorned the walls.
Sebastian led her to the lounge area, settling her onto the sofa. He poured a cup of hot tea, tested the temperature to make sure it wasn’t too hot, then placed it carefully in her hands before sitting beside her.
He stared at her with a teasing smile. “It’s been two days since exams ended, and you’re only now remembering to come see me p>
Lilian raised an eyebrow, took a sip of the tea, and replied with a smirk, “Sebastian, you sound like a nagging housewife right now. I came to see you as soon as exams ended p>
“I was planning to surprise you,” she added. “But I got stuck downstairs. If I hadn’t run into Cameron, I would’ve left already.” She shot a glare at him, half playful.
Sebastian couldn’t help smiling at her mischievous expression. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek. “You always have an excuse, don’t you? If you couldn’t come up, why didn’t you just call me p>
Lilian dodged his hand with an annoyed look. “That just means we don’t have a telepathic connection. If we did, you’d have sensed me downstairs p>
Sebastian found her nonsense both amusing and exasperating. This little troublemaker is getting more spoiled by the day.
Just then, the office phone rang. Sebastian stood, walked to the desk, and answered. Foster’s voice came through: “You’ve got a video conference in five minutes p>
“Got it,” Sebastian replied calmly. He hung up and returned to the lounge.
“You’ve got a meeting?” Lilian asked.
Sebastian leaned over, bracing his hands on either side of her. His deep gaze locked onto hers. “I’ve got a meeting soon. Take a break here, and we’ll go out for dinner afterward p>
Lilian glanced at the time and nodded. “Okay. Go do your thing p>
Right then, the office door swung open. Cameron waltzed in with a grin. “Sebastian, I heard from the secretary you’ve got a meeting, so I’ll keep Lilian company while you’re busy p>
Sebastian scowled. This clown again. He sighed and stood up. “Fine. Keep her company p>
He turned to Lilian, pressed a kiss to her forehead, and whispered, “Wait for me-and don’t let this guy dumb you down.” With that, he finally left.
Cameron, watching Sebastian walk away, stomped his foot. “Dumb me down? What’s wrong with my IQ p>
Lilian quietly agreed with Sebastian’s judgment. Best not to get dragged into Cameron’s chaos,
Once the door closed, Cameron spun around with a bright smile. “Lilian, want something to drink p>

Lilian blinked at the sudden change in demeanor. She’d heard of women being quick to switch moods, but she’d never seen a man do it so fast. “No thanks. I already had something,” she replied stiffly.
Cameron eyed her cup and beamed. “Hungry, then? Want me to have the secretary get you something p>
Lilian raised an eyebrow. “There’s an old saying-‘No one flatters without motive.’ Out with it. What do you want p>
Cameron froze for a beat, then chuckled. “Lilian, I know that viral video was you. I just wanted to ask-who composed that song you sang p>
Lilian hadn’t expected that question. “Why do you care p>

Cameron laughed sheepishly. “I want to ask them to write a few songs for the artists under my label. I tried getting your number from Sebastian, but he wouldn’t give it to me. Then boom-here we are p>
“It was just something I sang off the cuff,” Lilian said flatly. “You’re not gonna find the composer because there isn’t one. Not really p>
Cameron stared at her, stunned. “You… sang it randomly p>
Yep. He’d gone through every channel trying to track down the songwriter, and here she was, saying it was impromptu!
Off the cuff. Just like that.
Lilian nodded. “Yeah. Off the cuff p>
Cameron’s eyes lit up. “Then write a few more off the cuff! I’ll pay big money p>
Lilian looked at his eager expression and sighed. “I’ll think about it. I’ll let you know after the New Year p>
She was about to head home and wanted to spend time with her mentor. Business could wait.
Core
Cameron’s eyes lit up at her initial “okay,” but her next words-“I’ll think about it”-drenched him in disappointment.
He pouted. “Come on, Lilian, seriously. Think it over. I’m counting on you here. If I don’t show results soon, my old man’s gonna ship me off to the military. I can’t go! I’m too good-looking! That place would ruin my youth p>
Lilian chuckled, “Sure, I’ll consider it. But you’d better not tell anyone I’m the girl in the video. Honestly, I think the military might suit you. Fewer innocent girls would get their hearts broken p>
She knew exactly what kind of player Cameron was-smooth-talking and slick. Back in Kingston’s elite circles, he was infamous for it.
Cameron sniffed proudly. “No way. I’m too handsome, too elegant, too irresistible. If I disappear, my fans will lose their minds.” He flicked his bangs with a dramatic flair.
