"Excuse me?" Lilith said, her tone polite, but her eyes were not.
Krystal blinked, realizing she had said too much. Her red lipstick smudged slightly on the rim of her glass as she fumbled for words.
"I mean…" she chuckled awkwardly, waving her hand like she could erase the moment, "you just reminded me of someone. A woman I once knew…. she had the same eyes. Piercing blue like frozen stars."
Lilith gripped her glass tighter.
Krystal Knight, on the other hand, just smiled dreamily, like they were having a casual chat about skincare routines.
"Anyway," KK said, clearly trying to change the subject, "you're a natural. You'll go far. That mysterious aura… it's no wonder people are obsessed with you."
Lilith didn't say anything because her mind had already taken off like a bullet train.
Who was Krystal talking about?
What did she know?
