What are you looking for?" Sebastian asked again, his voice cool and distant, as if he hadn't heard a word of Rose's explanation.Rose felt a pang of frustration but kept her composure. "I thought I might have dropped a piece of jewelry the last time I was in your room," she replied, trying to sound casual. "And when I saw that the door was open, I decided to check if it was still there."Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't respond.
