Chapter 269 Sebastian Visits Skyreach Group
Sebastian’s dark eyes shimmered with tenderness as he spoke softly, “You’re at the office p>
“Yeah. After I wrapped things up over there, I came straight here. There’s just too much piled up; everything’s urgent,” Lillian said evenly.
“Have you had lunch p>
Guilt prickled through her; her voice turned light and casual. “Of course, I have p>
His brows pinched slightly, his voice carrying a faint note of reproach. “Lillian, whenever you lie, your tone drops a pitch p>
Lillian blinked, momentarily caught off guard, then laughed lightly. “Really? Guess you pay more attention to me than I thought p>
Sebastian rubbed his brow, his voice tinged with helplessness. “Lillian, I can read every expression, every move you make p>
“Alright, my bad,” Lillian admitted softly. She had been caught, after all.
A flicker of exasperation passed through his eyes, though his voice was filled with indulgence. “Stay at the office and wait for me. I’m on my way p>
As soon as the call ended, Sebastian grabbed the jacket draped over his chair and strode out, Foster close on his heels.
The car pulled up to the Skyreach Group building. It was his first time stepping into the little one’s territory.
The towering Empire Group headquarters, its sleek modern architecture and cutting-edge design, still managed to impress him.
The moment he stepped into the Skyreach lobby, the hum of conversation stilled. Every gaze followed the tall, dark figure-dressed in a vintage, tailored suit; sharp, chiseled features that redefined perfection; obsidian eyes devoid of warmth; an aura so commanding it demanded submission.
Linda hurried forward, careful and polite. “Hello, sir. Who are you here to see p>
“I have an appointment with Ms. Harrington,” Sebastian said coolly, then walked straight to the elevators. As the doors slid open, Foster stepped in behind him, blocking the curious stares from the rest of the floor.
“Ms. Harrington p>

Confusion rippled through the onlookers.
Suddenly, someone gasped, realization dawning. “I know! I know who that is-our real boss behind the scenes. Harrington p>
“What? Ms. Harrington’s here p>
“No idea. I’ve never even seen her p>
“Forget that, did you see that man? He’s gorgeous. Makes celebrities look plain p>
“Oh, please. A man like that? No ordinary woman could handle him p>
Linda froze, stunned. Ms. Harrington…
Her mind flashed back to the young woman who had stepped into the executive elevator earlier. An impossible thought began to take shape. No way… could it be…
The elevator carried Sebastian straight to the top floor.
The space was black and white, stark and modern, exuding a quiet intensity. A massive glass skylight wrapped the entire level, offering an unobstructed view of the city below.
Foster pushed open the double doors.
Sebastian spotted her instantly-his girl, seated at the desk, head bent as she worked through a stack of documents. Her delicate features were sharp with concentration, every line of her focused expression pulling at something deep inside him. The waning sunlight spilled across her, cloaking her in quiet confidence; it was as if the world itself bent to her calm authority.
It was the first time he’d seen her like this-at work, in her element.
Lillian assumed it was Ryan, but when no one spoke, she lifted her head toward the doorway.
The moment she met those indulgent eyes, she dropped her pen without hesitation, stood, and walked briskly toward him.
She was in a black dress paired with black ankle boots; her soft, wavy hair tumbled loosely around her shoulders; her bare, makeup-free face lit up with a bright smile.
“What are you doing here p>
Sebastian gently tapped her nose, his voice warm. “You weren’t listening, so I had no choice but to come make sure you’re taken care of.” He motioned for Foster to set the food on the side table in the lounge area.

Embarrassed, Lillian lowered her head with an awkward laugh. “I’ve just been really busy p>
Sebastian laced his fingers through hers, leading her toward the lounge. His voice softened. “No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. If you won’t take care of yourself, how can I not worry? I think it’s time we find you an assistant-someone to handle your daily needs. That way, I can relax a little p>
“No need. I’m usually at school, and my meals are regular. I can take care of myself; when I’m at Solara, Karina looks after me.” The thought of having someone trailing her every step, twenty-four-seven, felt suffocating.
