Devilish secretary - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Ava and Nova reaction Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Ava and Nova reaction “Oh my God, what are you doing here, Lilith?

And why do those people look so scared of you?

Are you here to scare them?” she heard a familiar voice say.

A familiar, dramatic voice echoed through the tense air.

Lilith’s expression didn’t change, but a flicker of amusement appear in her piercing blue eyes as she turned her head slightly.

The tension shattered as a stylishly dressed figure walked toward them-his signature black shades perched on his nose, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Ethan Carter.

Dressed in a designer black suit, effortlessly stylish, he strolled over like he owned the place€“which, knowing him, wouldn’t be a surprise.

Jennifer, who had been frozen in fear a second ago, visibly relaxed at the distraction, desperate to regain her composure.

“Oh!

Ethan!

You’re here too?” Jennifer’s voice drastically changed, her fake sweetness returning as she tucked her hair behind her ear, pretending like she hadn’t just been trembling.

Ethan stopped next to Lilith, ignoring Jennifer completely.

Instead, he took off his shades, revealing his sharp brown eyes.

He stared at Lilith, then at the trembling guards, then back at Lilith.

“Who is stopping her from letting her inside?

Let me know.” His cold glare landed on the guards, then on Jennifer, his face twisting with disgust.

Jennifer flinched.

The guards, now visibly nervous, immediately straightened their posture.

“N-No, sir!

We only stopped her because she had a fake invitation card!” one of the guards rushed to explain.

“We were just doing our duty,” another added, sweating nervously.

Ethan scoffed, rolling his eyes.

“Hump!

Right now, I’ll let you off.” He crossed his arms.

“But listen carefully.” His voice lowered threateningly.

“She is Lilith.

And she is with me.” He flashed Lilith a charming, knowing smile.

Jennifer and her besties stiffened.

Then suddenly- “Sister Lilith!!” A bright, excited voice echoed as Rose came running toward them, wearing a pretty pink dress.

The girl looked like a fairy tale princess, her soft curls bouncing as she threw herself into Lilith’s arms.

Lilith caught her easily, smiling warmly.

“I didn’t know you’d be here!” Rose pouted cutely.

“If I knew, I would have come with you!” Jennifer’s expression cracked.

Her besties whispered even louder.

“She’s close to the Carter family…?” “What’s going on?!

I thought she was just some random poor girl!” Jennifer’s nails dug into her palm.

Ethan, meanwhile, sighed dramatically.

“Alright, alright, ladies!

Let’s not waste time with nobodies.

The event is about to start!” He clapped his hands.

With that, he led the group inside.

As they walked, Ethan took his time introducing himself to Ava and Nova.

Ava’s face lit up instantly.

“OH.

MY.

GOD.” She grabbed Nova’s arm.

“You’re Ethan Carter?!

THE Ethan Carter?!

The actor?!

The absolute male god?!” Ethan smirked, clearly flattered.

“You have good taste, sweetheart.” He winked.

Ava squealed.

Nova, on the other hand, looked like he swallowed a lemon.

He rolled his eyes hard.

“Tch.

What’s the big deal?” Lilith, walking behind them with Rose, chuckled at the drama.

But then, she felt a stare.

She glanced back- Jennifer was still watching her.

Lilith’s piercing blue eyes met Jennifer’s shocked, burning gaze.

For a second, neither moved.

Then- Lilith’s lips curled into a slow, dangerous smirk.

Jennifer froze.

Her breath hitched as a cold shiver ran down her spine.

Lilith didn’t need to say anything.

Her eyes said it all.

“You tried to humiliate me?” “Now look where you are.” Jennifer’s face burned red.

Lilith turned away without a care, walking confidently beside Rose, Ethan, Ava, and Nova.

The event was about to begin.

Jennifer clenched her fists tightly, her perfectly manicured nails digging into her palms.

Her jaw tightened, and her eyes darkened as she threw a sharp glance at her best friends standing behind her.

It was a look filled with silent instructions.

Her friends understood immediately.

A silent, knowing smirk spread across their faces.

“So she wants to act high and mighty?” Jennifer thought, her lips twisting cruelly.

“Let’s see how long that lasts.” Meanwhile, inside- The Lake Event had officially started.

The venue was breathtaking.

The huge Lightearn Lake sparkled under the lighting from the venue.

Its reflections danced on the water, looking beautiful under the moon in the sky.

A luxurious outdoor pavilion was set up by the water’s edge, decorated with hanging crystal chandeliers that sparkled like tiny stars.

The air was filled with the smooth notes of live violin music, blending perfectly with the quiet chatter of the wealthy guests.

Many celebrities and socialites moved around gracefully, holding delicate glasses of red wine, their laughter floating through the cool night air.

The night’s entertainment had already begun.

Most of the performances were by aspiring actresses, each of them desperate to impress the rich investors and directors present at the event.

On a small raised platform, a well-known actress twirled elegantly, her silk gown flowing with her movements as she performed a traditional dance.

The whole event was a game-A place where the rich sought entertainment and the ambitious sought opportunities.

Amongst them, Lilith, Ava, Nova, Rose, and Ethan moved through the crowd.

Ava grabbed Lilith’s arm dramatically, her eyes wide in shock.

“LILI!

You know Male God Ethan personally?!

How?!

I mean-WHAT?!” she exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over.

Lilith chuckled, enjoying Ava’s reaction.

Meanwhile, Ethan, standing beside them, raised an eyebrow, looking at Ava like she had grown two heads.

“You don’t know?” he asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Lilith is in a relationship with Sebastian Carter.” As soon as those words left his mouth- Ava’s jaw dropped so wide it almost touched the ground.

Nova, on the other hand- Looked like he had just swallowed a whole bowl of shit.

His expression froze, his hands stiffened, and his face twitched.

He turned toward Lilith slowly, like a robot that had just malfunctioned.

Ava, still shocked beyond belief, clutched her chest dramatically.

“YOU’RE DATING SEBASTIAN CARTER?!!

THE Sebastian Carter?!!” Lilith smirked and tilted her head, “Hmm?

Why do you look so surprised?” Ava gasped, shaking her head.

“Lilith, my best friend, my queen, my goddess-do you even know WHO you’re dating?!

This man is a living legend!!

He’s richer than God, more powerful than the President, and scary as hell!” Nova, who had been silent this whole time, finally snapped out of his shock and narrowed his eyes.

“…Wait.

Does that mean you’ve been keeping secrets from us?” His voice was calm, but his eyes were dark.

He was jealous.

Not because he liked Lilith romantically- But because she had been hiding such a big thing from them!

Ava, still starstruck, was practically jumping in place.

“I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!!!

Lilith, you’re LITERALLY dating the most feared man in the business world!

Do you even know how many people dream of being in your place?!” Ethan, watching their dramatic reactions, grinned.

Ethan crossed his arms, smirking as he stirred the pot.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe this!

Lilith, you actually hid this from your best friends?!” he teased, his voice full of amusement.

Lilith, already regretting everything, shot him a glare.

“Shut up, Ethan.” But Ava and Nova weren’t laughing.

Ava looked at Lilith sadly, her excitement from earlier fading into disappointment.

“Lilith… I don’t think you’d purposely hide something this big from us, right?” she said, her voice quieter.

“I mean, you’re literally dating the boss of bosses, and you never told us?” Nova, standing beside Ava, had his arms crossed, his jaw clenched.

“Yes, Lilith,” he added, his voice low and serious.

“You didn’t think it was important enough to tell your best friends?

Or do you just not trust us?” Lilith exhaled, rubbing her temples.

“Guys…” she started, but they both just stared at her expectantly.

Ethan, watching the scene unfold, grinned like a troublemaker who had successfully caused drama.

Seeing Lilith caught in the middle, Rose’s hands balled into fists.

She couldn’t just stand by and watch her sister Lilith being misunderstood.

Tears welled up in her big, black eyes as she looked at Ava and Nova, her voice soft yet urgent.

“They just got together recently!

Please don’t think Sister Lilith was hiding anything… A lot of things happened all at once, like Grandma falling ill…” She sniffled, looking at them with pure innocence.

“Please don’t hate Sister Lilith…” Her voice trembled slightly, and the way she clutched her dress nervously made her look so pitiful that Ava and Nova’s anger instantly weakened.

Nova sighed, rubbing his neck, while Ava pursed her lips, feeling guilty for jumping to conclusions.

Lilith, who had been ready to deal with the situation alone, felt her heart melt as she saw Rose trying to protect her.

Lilith gently pulled Rose into a hug.

“Little rosebud… don’t cry,” she whispered, stroking Rose’s soft hair.

Ava, feeling bad, sighed.

“We don’t hate Lilith, Rose… we were just shocked,” she admitted, reaching out to pat Rose’s head.

“She’s our friend, of course, we won’t hate her…” Nova nodded, crossing his arms.

“Yeah, yeah, I was just being dramatic.” He glanced at Lilith and muttered, “But you still should’ve told us.”
