Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Give me my kiss

"Mr. Carter..." someone called, and Sebastian turned to greet another business partner. He became fully engrossed in the conversation.

Lilith, feeling a sudden dryness in her throat, sighed internally. This human body is so troublesome, she thought. She gestured subtly toward Sebastian, signaling that she was going to get some water.

Sebastian glanced at her briefly, his cold, dark eyes filled with a hint of concern. Still, he gave a small nod before returning to his discussion.

Spotting a waiter nearby with a tray of water glasses, Lilith walked over, picked one up, and took a sip. The cool liquid felt refreshing. She glanced around the grand hall, observing the crowd.

The glittering chandelier above illuminated the space. Women in stunning dresses and men in sharp suits mingled, their laughter blending with the soft background music. Lilith stood calmly, holding her glass, her piercing eyes taking in every detail.
