The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 685

"Mr. Vesper?"

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.

Seeing that smile, everyone at the table became certain he'd overheard every word of their conversation.

And yet, the person who'd called out to him was completely oblivious, grinning as he said, "Mr. Vesper, you made the right choice coming to the cafeteria today. Honestly, the food here is better than most restaurants in town."

Sebastian returned the smile with a polite nod.

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

Meanwhile, the women who had been gossiping could feel their hearts pounding in their chests.

They hurriedly packed up their lunch trays and scrambled to their feet.

The girl in front forced a smile that looked more like she was about to cry. "Pr- President Vesper, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."
