Chapter 130 Pavilion Hall
The car pulled up in front of a beautifully traditional building.
A valet quickly stepped forward to open the door.
As she stepped out, Lilian glanced up at the elegant signboard and murmured, “Pavilion Hall p>

She’d heard of this place before. It had a stellar reputation across all of Dracovia. Operated strictly by membership, it was said the chefs here descended from royal culinary lineages. Only the wealthy and elite could afford to dine here.
Sebastian looked over at her. His voice was low and smooth. “Been here before p>
Lilian shook her head. “No, but I’ve heard about it p>
Sebastian took her hand and led her through the doors. A man in a well-fitted suit came forward with a respectful smile. “Mr. Sebastian. Mr. Cameron p>
Cameron grinned and teased, “Been a while, and you’re looking more handsome than ever p>
The manager replied dutifully, “You flatter me, Mr. Cameron. No one can outshine your charm p>
Cameron puffed up proudly. “Exactly! With my looks, it’s no wonder girls go crazy wherever I go p>
Sebastian, long immune to Cameron’s antics, didn’t bother responding. He simply continued on, guiding Lilian toward their private dining room.
Lilian looked around in quiet amazement. The space was encircled by a gentle stream and vibrant plant life, as though nature itself had been invited inside. But what stunned her most was the furnishings-everything, from the chairs to the architecture, was made of huanghuali wood. That rare material was nearly priceless. She had to admit-the owner had serious vision.
When they reached the private room, waitstaff were already waiting outside. Sebastian helped Lilian take off her coat and hung it neatly, adding his own beside it.
Lilian looked at them curiously. “You two seem pretty familiar with the staff. Do you come here a lot p>
Cameron chuckled with a hint of mischief. “Lilian, didn’t you know? Pavilion Hall belongs to Sebastian. Of course everyone knows their boss p>
Lilian’s eyes lit up. “That explains it. I was just thinking-what kind of owner would go all-in with huanghuali wood? Now it makes sense p>
Sebastian looked at her fondly. “Good eye. You recognized it p>
Lilian lifted her chin proudly. “Of course. Huanghuali is incredibly rare. It’s only going to become more valuable with time. It’s a smart investment p>
Coming back to life with all her past knowledge really did have its advantages. She could see the big picture
when it came to investment trends.
Cameron’s eyes sparkled. “You serious, Lilian p>

She nodded seriously. “Absolutely. Investing in huanghuali is a solid move. Why else would Sebastian use it everywhere here p>
Sebastian reached over and tapped her nose lightly. “So clever p>
He hadn’t expected her to have such a sharp eye for value. Her insight made him oddly proud.
Soon, the dishes arrived.
Lilian looked at the table, surprised to find that everything was something she liked.
Sebastian served her some ribs, along with a side of vegetables, and said gently, “Try it. See if the ribs are any good. If not, I’ll have them bring in another chef p>
Cameron watched the display of affection across from him and felt full from nothing but dog food.
“Sebastian,” he complained, “can you please pretend I exist p>
Sebastian smirked, not bothering to respond.
Cameron threw up his hands. Some brother he was. Probably came as a freebie with a phone plan.
He turned to Lilian. “So, got any plans for the break p>
Lilian raised an eyebrow. “Why? You need something p>
“Of course!” Cameron said excitedly. “I’m inviting you to come hang out p>
“No can do. I’ve got a lot to take care of.” She declined without hesitation. This break was rare, and she fully intended to spend it with her mentor.
Cameron blinked. “Didn’t you just finish exams p>
Lilian finished her ribs and wiped her mouth with a napkin. “I need to visit
my teacher p>
“Teacher?” Cameron asked, curious. “Wait, you’re not going home for the holidays p>
But the moment those words left his mouth, the air around them turned noticeably cold.
