Devilish secretary - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Star of the night Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Star of the night Sienna pressed her lips together, suppressing a smirk.

It was her plan all along.

She had secretly submitted Lilith’s name for the performance without her knowledge.

The goal?

To humiliate her.

To show how unworthy she was of stepping into high society.

Because there was no way an orphan like her knew how to play the piano-let alone sing.

Sienna lifted her chin, waiting for Lilith to refuse.

Waiting for her to embarrass herself.

Waiting for her to be laughed out of the event.

However- Lilith’s lips curled into a slow, dangerous smile.

Oh, so this was their little game?

Sienna, standing there with that fake innocent smile, expecting her to make a fool of herself.

Grandma Bria, watching with anticipation, waiting for her to stumble.

And Rayan?

when did he even arrive?

He was standing there with his rich friends, dressed in a suit like some high-class snob.

That disgusting rat.

He sipped his wine with an arrogant look, already convinced she was going to embarrass herself.

How laughable.

Rose grabbed her hand.

“Sister, you don’t have to do this!

We can leave!

They’re just trying to humiliate you.” Ethan crossed his arms.

“She’s right.

Sienna set you up.

You don’t have to prove anything, Lilith.” Nova and Ava nodded, their expressions tense.

But Lilith?

She was calm.

Too calm.

She tilted her head slightly, her piercing blue eyes gleaming.

“Why should I leave?” she whispered, her voice smooth yet sharp.

“They went through all this trouble…

it’d be rude of me not to give them a show.” Ethan blinked.

“Wait-you actually know how to play?” Lilith didn’t reply.

Instead, she turned and walked straight to the grand piano in the center of the stage.

The crowd murmured.

“Who is she again?” “Never heard of her before.” “She looks gorgeous, but can she actually play?” Sienna’s smirk grew.

“Oh dear, Miss Parker, you don’t have to force yourself.

We can all just-” Clink.

Lilith lifted the mic from its stand, holding it between her fingers.

Sienna’s expression stiffened.

Then, with slow, unhurried movements, Lilith walked toward the grand piano and sat down.

A hush fell over the crowd.

She placed the mic on the stand beside her and rested her fingers lightly on the keys.

The black, glossy piano gleamed under the soft golden lights, its familiar touch grounding her.

The silence stretched.

And then- The first note rang out.

A deep, haunting sound that immediately captured everyone’s attention.

The melody that followed was flawless.

Smooth, dark, mesmerizing.

Lilith played effortlessly, her fingers dancing across the keys with masterful precision.

Sienna’s smile froze.

Rayan, who had been smirking, lowered his glass.

Grandma Bria’s face twisted in shock.

And then-she began to sing.

A voice so rich, so intoxicating, that the entire event fell into absolute silence.

Lilith’s voice was not just beautiful-it was otherworldly.

Deep, sultry, powerful, like velvet laced with fire.

People who had been whispering and gossiping fell speechless.

Some even stopped breathing.

Sienna’s hands curled into fists.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Lilith wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Yet here she was, sitting at the grand piano as if she were born for the stage.

As if this was exactly where she belonged.

Ethan’s mouth hung open in pure shock, while Ava and Nova stared, completely frozen.

Even Rose, who was initially taken aback, quickly shifted to admiration, her eyes sparkling with pride.

Ethan, luckily remembering to move, grabbed his phone and continued recording.

Halfway through, he had realized something-this was a moment worth capturing.

But he wasn’t the only one.

All around the venue, phones were raised, recording Lilith’s breathtaking performance.

The perfectly controlled yet emotionally charged melody, the soft yet powerful vocals, the mystery in her presence-everything about her attract attention.

And she got it.

Several men in designer suits were watching her with interest, whispering among themselves.

Who was this new woman?

Even some women, despite their usual competitiveness, couldn’t help but be attracted.

Lilith, with her icy blue eyes, long lashes, and silky dark hair cascading over her shoulders, was already striking but under the soft glow of the event’s lighting, dressed in a silver gown that clung perfectly to her curves, she looked ethereal.

And Rayan was no exception.

He had always believed Lilith’s voice to be Ugly-not when Lia’s voice had been so soft, so delicate.

But now- Now, he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

Her voice wasn’t just beautiful€“ it was powerful, seductive, mesmerizing.

His grip on his wine glass tightened, his throat dry as he watched her, completely forgetting the others people beside him.

Meanwhile, Sienna’s face had gone completely pale.

Her perfectly rehearsed plan to humiliate Lilith had backfired spectacularly.

Instead of shame and embarrassment, Lilith had stolen the spotlight, becoming the most talked-about woman in the room.

And the worst part?

The moment Lilith finished, the entire venue erupted into applause, even some started cheering for her.

Lilith?

Humiliated?

No.

Sienna clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palm so hard they nearly bled.

Lilith had just become the star of the night.

Ethan was still recording, his mouth hanging open.

“HOLY SH*T, LILITH!

YOU- YOU JUST-” He couldn’t even form a proper sentence.

Ava, gripping Nova’s arm, gasped, “She’s a total star!” Nova, still looking shell-shocked, could only nod.

Meanwhile, Sienna’s face had lost all color.

Her nails dug into her palms as she watched Lilith rise from the piano, unfazed, composed- and then, just to add insult to injury, Lilith did a small, teasing bow before walking off the stage.

Rayan, who had been staring at her like he had never seen her before, finally blinked.

This wasn’t the Lilith he remembered.

The woman in front of him wasn’t just beautiful€“she was dangerous.

Lilith didn’t even spare him a glance as she approached her group.

Rose beamed at her, eyes twinkling with admiration.

“Sister Lilith!

That was amazing!

You looked so cool up there!” Lilith gave her a small smile, rubbing her head affectionately.

Ethan turned to her, waving his phone.

“I got it ALL recorded!

It’s going VIRAL!

I swear, people are gonna-” His voice trailed off.
