Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Dangerously sweet.

Lilith looked through her wardrobe, pulling out dresses and tossing them aside one by one.

Most of them she had already worn, and some felt too old-fashioned for the kind of event Ava had described.

She sighed, glancing at the clock 3:02 PM.

There was no time to go shopping now.

Just then, her phone rang, and a deep smile appeared on her lips as she saw the name flashing on the screen.

“Hello!” she muttered, picking up.

“I’ve reached the hotel,” Alexander’s low voice came from the other end.

“You should rest,” Lilith said, already knowing how much he overworked himself.

“You might have jet lag.” “No!

I just wanted to talk to you,” he admitted, his voice carrying a soft sigh.

“God, I already miss you.” Lilith’s lips curled up as she bit back a smile.

On the other end, Alexander let out a deep breath, reaching up to loosen his tie.

He pulled it off in one swift motion, tossing it onto the bed.

His long fingers went to the buttons of his dark suit, unfastening them with slow precision before shrugging it off.

He placed his phone on speaker mode and set it on the bed as he continued undressing.

His dress shirt came next, he unbuttoned it halfway, then ran a hand through his hair before taking it off completely.

The cold air of the hotel room hit his heated skin, making his toned muscles flex involuntarily.

Now only in his trousers, he sat on the edge of the bed, resting one arm on his knee.

His broad shoulders relaxed, but the hard ridges of his abs tightened subtly with each breath.

The dim glow of the elegant bedside lamp cast shadows across his chest, highlighting every sculpted line.

Finally, he reached for his phone again.

“Miss you too,” Lilith said, still shifting through her wardrobe.

“But I’m going to an event with Nova and Ava.” A long silence.

Alexander’s jaw tensed as he leaned back against the headboard.

“What are you doing now?” he asked.

“Looking for a suitable dress.” “Hmm.” Alexander hummed lowly, his voice deep and unreadable.

Then, after a moment, “But why is that guy going with you girls?” Lilith raised a brow, sensing the change in his tone.

“Nova?” “Yeah.

That guy.

Why is he tagging along?” Lilith smirked, closing the wardrobe and holding up a dress in front of the mirror.

“Ava invited him.” Alexander’s fingers tapped impatiently on his thigh.

“I don’t like it,” he muttered.

Lilith rolled her eyes, fully entertained by his jealousy.

“You don’t even know him.” “I don’t need to.” His voice came out cold, possessive, absolute.

“He’s a man.

You’re my woman.” Lilith chuckled, shaking her head.

“Jealous, Human Doll?” “Very.” His voice dropped lower, sending a thrill down her spine.

She bit her lip, tossing the dress aside and grabbing another.

“That’s not a good look on you.” “I don’t care,” Alexander replied, completely unfazed.

“I’d rather be there with you, keeping all those vultures away.” “Relax,” Lilith teased, “I can handle myself.” Alexander sighed, rubbing his temple.

“I know.

But that doesn’t mean I have to like it.” Lilith softened at his words, feeling the genuine concern in his voice.

“I’ll be fine,” she reassured him.

“Hmph.” “I’ll even send you pictures when I’m ready.” Alexander went quiet for a moment, then finally muttered, “I’ll be waiting.” His voice was husky, deep, filled with something unspoken.

Lilith smiled deeply, her fingers lightly tracing the fabric of the dress she had picked.

The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable-it was warm, almost like he was beside her.

Then, Alexander’s voice broke through the quiet.

“Keep talking.

I like hearing you.” Lilith’s heart did a little flip, and she bit her lip, holding back a smile.

“You know you should rest,” she reminded him.

“What business deal suddenly came up?

I don’t even know this schedule.” Alexander let out a low sigh, rubbing his temple.

“It’s about the software launch.

The beta users faced some problems, and there are security issues happening.

I have to handle it myself.” Lilith hummed in understanding, nodding even though he couldn’t see her.

“Oh… that sounds stressful.” “It is,” Alexander admitted, his voice carrying exhaustion.

Lilith softened, her grip on the dress loosening.

“It’s alright.

Take care of yourself.

And if you face any problems, you know I’m just a call away.” Her voice was gentle, warm, filled with quiet reassurance.

On the other end, Alexander lay on the bed, closing his eyes.

Just hearing her say that made the tension in his chest lessen a little.

“I know, Lili,” he murmured, a rare softness slipping into his tone.

“And that’s why I can breathe a little easier.” They kept talking when Lilith’s doorbell rang.

“I’ll be back.

Wait for me,” she muttered, placing her phone on the bed as she went to open the door.

Standing outside was a man dressed in all black, his presence silent yet dangerous.

His skin was healthy tan, his dark eyes steady and unreadable as he held out a sleek black-and-silver bag with an elegant logo.

“Miss Lilith, this is for you,” he said in a firm tone.

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him before shifting her gaze to the bag.

“Who are you?” she asked, her voice sharp but calm.

The man remained expressionless.

“For you,” was all he said before extending the bag toward her.

Lilith took it, her fingers brushing over the expensive material.

As she opened it, her eyes landed on a stunning silver dress.

It looked elegant, smooth, and luxurious, with a small card resting on top.

“For you, Lili.” It wasn’t his handwriting, but she knew he had asked someone to prepare it for her.

Her heart warmed.

She gave a brief nod to the man in black before closing the door, carrying the bag back to her room.

Her phone was still on the line.

She hesitated.

Even if she didn’t want to… She couldn’t hide the blush on her face.

The most feared devil, blushing because of a mere human… She picked up the phone.

“Human doll, what did you do?” she muttered, her voice betraying a hint of warmth.

A deep chuckle came from the other end.

“Did you like it?” Lilith ran her fingers over the fabric of the dress, feeling the depth of his gesture.

He had prepared this in such a short time… just for her.

“You don’t have to do this,” she said, softly but firmly.

Alexander hummed.

“But I want to.

You’re mine, and I want you to look like the queen you are.” Her lips curled up slightly.

This human… He always knew how to get to her.

Lilith chuckle, twirling a strand of her dark hair between her fingers.

“You know, Human Doll, you’re way too different now… Like before, you used to get angry so easily, and you never showed much emotion.

No one would’ve thought you had such a romantic side.

Your reputation was all about firing secretaries left and right,” she teased, her piercing blue eyes glinting with amusement.

On the other side of the call, Alexander exhaled a deep breath,”Is that how you saw me?

A ruthless boss with no emotions?” Lilith smirked.

“That’s exactly how you were!

Even some people thought you were going to fire me on my first day.” Alexander let out a soft chuckle.

“If I had, I’d be the biggest fool alive.

You’re the only thing in my life that makes sense now.” Lilith’s teasing expression faltered slightly as warmth spread through her chest.

She tried to brush it off.

“Tsk.

Who knew the feared CEO was actually just a clingy boyfriend?” Alexander’s voice dropped an octave, deep and husky.

“Only for you, Lili.” Lilith rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the small smile playing on her lips.

This human… was dangerously sweet.

“And don’t forget to send me pictures of you in the dress!

I deserve that much, right?” Alexander’s deep voice held a hint of amusement over the phone.

“Hmm…” Lilith hummed, a smirk forming on her lips as she ended the call.

She turned her attention to the black and silver shopping bag, carefully pulling out what was inside.

The dress was stunning, a smooth silver gown that shining softly under her bedroom lights.

The fabric was cool against her fingertips, flowing like water.

It was both elegant and bold, designed to fit perfectly while draping gracefully to the floor.

The neckline was deep but refined, decorated with delicate silver embroidery.

The back dipped low, held by thin crisscross straps, revealing just enough to be tempting.

A high slit along the side added a daring touch, making the dress a perfect mix of class and confidence.

Inside, she spotted a pair of silver heels, stylish and strappy, with just the right height for comfort.

There was also a small velvet box.

When she opened it, a set of dazzling jewelry sparkled under the light.

Dangling diamond earrings, a delicate silver bracelet, and a shining necklace that would rest perfectly against her collarbone.

Lilith let out a soft chuckle.

“Tsk.

Human doll, you’re really going all out to impress me, huh?” she murmured.
