Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 86

Cecilia

I raised an eyebrow as I spotted her.

So this was Remy’s game.

Alpha Sebastian walked toward the gathering.

hung back deliberately, knowing better than to follow too closely.

This was supposed to be a wine tasting, but inserting myself would seem strange.

One misstep and I might find myself unwillingly recruited as the eleventh beauty of the evening.

Then I’d have to deal with unwanted touches on my hands and legs.

Even with Alpha Sebastian’s protection, the damage would be done, and couldn’t exactly smash a wine bottle over someone’s head in retaliation.

Besides, I had a more important mission tonight:

[monitoring these people to prevent them from slipping anything into Alpha Sebastian’s drink.]

I positioned myself where I could observe the entire room’s dynamics without being too conspicuous.

The great hall was arranged with several sofas forming a massive square, with multiple coffee tables placed at staggered intervals between them.

When Alpha Sebastian approached, he ignored the seat Remy had specifically reserved for him, choosing instead a single armchair.

The message was crystal clear: Don’t crowd me.

Remy’s smile faltered noticeably.

He recovered quickly, changing his own position to sit at the diagonal across from Sebastian, making it easier to converse.

The other guests followed suit, each trying to secure spots closer to the two powerful figures, especially Alpha Sebastian.

Despite their efforts, he remained aloof, barely acknowledging them, even glancing at his phone.

I shifted my gaze and noticed Remy’s secretary playing bartender again.

One of the so-called dignitaries seized the opportunity to grab her backside, his expression disgustingly lecherous.

She didn’t protest, only responding with a coquettish smile, though I detected clear revulsion behind her practiced expression.

She was hiding it well-almost perfectly-but I knew that look.

When she turned to serve Alpha Sebastian his drink, he took it with a polite nod.”Thank you,” he said, tone calm but distant.

Across from him, Remy swirled his wine glass with one hand. His smile was smooth, but his eyes were anything but friendly.

“Alpha Sebastian,” he said, “this wine is from my private collection. I opened it just for you. Properly decanted, of course. Please-try it.”

Alpha Sebastian lifted the glass, examined its color, brought it to his nose, and finally took a small sip. “Hmm. It’s acceptable.”

His tone was casual, his expression neutral.

The other guests were clearly ready to pour on the praise, especially the four so-called celebrities. One of them-apparently a famous artist-looked like he might offer to paint the whole scene.

But Alpha Sebastian just nodded like it was no big deal, turning a hundred-thousand-dollar bottle into something you’d find on sale at the local store.

Alpha Sebastian appeared completely oblivious to the discomfort he’d caused.

He reclined with casual elegance, holding his wine glass without any apparent intention of taking another sip.

His cool eyes drifted toward a corner of the outdoor pool area.

Noticing where Sebastian’s attention had wandered, Remy followed his gaze. A knowing smile spread across his face.

This was Remy’s carefully prepared trump card.

“Ask Mindy to come in,” Remy instructed his secretary with a slight tilt of his head.

The secretary stepped out, returning a few minutes later with a young woman in tow.

She wore a soft lavender dress that fell just below her knees-simple, elegant, and quietly striking against her fair skin.

Her thick, dark hair fell in loose waves down her back, and her face was bare of makeup, yet radiant in a way only youth could offer.

A touch of softness still lingered around her cheeks, and her wide, clear eyes flicked nervously toward Alpha Sebastian, like a deer sensing danger but too curious to run.

Around the room, the four famous men turned to look at her-interest flickering in their eyes like moths to a flame.

I looked at her, thinking.

Alpha Sebastianhad looked outside earlier-was that when he saw her?
