At the sound of his name, the group of people chatting nearby all turned toward the adjacent table, eyes wide in shock.

Sebastian himself hadn't expected to be addressed. The hint of a smile still lingered on his lips, not yet faded.

Sebastian returned the smile with a polite nod.

Sensing the suddenly awkward atmosphere, the man made a quick exit.
