Ava, still watching Sebastian, leaned closer to Lilith. "He's looking straight this way, you know…" she whispered, barely concealing the teasing tone behind her voice.
Lilith sipped her drink without looking away.
Of course, he is.
Sebastian's gaze was fixed on her, sharp and focused, as if nothing else in the room mattered.
He didn't seem to care that half the office was staring. His focus was singular—Lilith.
Nova grinned, nudging Lilith with his elbow. "You sure there's nothing going on between you two?"
Lilith set her drink down with a quiet clink, raising a brow. "He's my boss."
"Sure," Ava said with a smirk. "And I'm the Queen of England."
Sebastian kept walking toward them, slow and steady, as if nothing else in the world existed.
Lilith leaned back in her chair, meeting his gaze head-on.
Let him stare.
Lilith's ears caught the faint whispers rippling through the cafeteria.
