Devilish secretary - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Heartthrob Darkness
Lilith stared at her screen, thumb hovering like she was about to block him, report him, or throw her phone across the room.

Lilith: Are you Gray? Or Ray? Gray would never do this kind of thing.

The typing bubble popped up instantly.

Human doll ♡: I am Ray!

Lilith narrowed her eyes.

Lilith: Lie.

Human doll ♡: Miss Mystery, it’s me! The cutest personality ever!

Human doll ♡: Wanna see my bunny drawing?

Lilith frowned deeper.

She knew the signs.

This wasn’t Ray. This was the menace.

Lilith: Darkness. I know it’s you.

There was a long pause.

Then…

Human doll ♡: Sharp babe.

Human doll ♡: I heard you’re entering the entertainment industry.

Lilith: So?

Human doll ♡: Do you want me to protect you?

She rolled her eyes.

Lilith: Why would I need that?

Human doll ♡: Because deep down, you want me to become your sugar daddy. Come here, baby…

Lilith froze and Almost choked.

On the other side of the city, Darkness sat in a private section of an upscale restaurant, legs crossed, fingers lightly tapping against the armrest of his chair. He wore a fitted black shirt tucked into tailored dark pants, a silver watch hugging his wrist. The lighting above cast just the right shadow across his sharp jawline, and the way his dark hair fell slightly over his eyes made him look effortlessly lethal.

He wasn’t doing anything special—just sitting.

But that was the problem. Even silence clung to him like an aura.

The people seated around the table were busy discussing numbers, international collaborations, sponsorships, and digital expansion—each word flying past him like dust in the air. Darkness listened, nodding occasionally, his face unreadable. He wasn’t the type to interrupt, but when he spoke, everyone shut up. That’s just how it worked.

Several of the men had brought their partners along, trying to show off power or perhaps just out of habit. But now those very partners were stealing glances at the man in black seated quietly at the end of the table.

One of them, a tall woman in a wine-red dress, kept licking her glossed lips every time he shifted.

Another bolder one whispered something to her husband, giggling, her eyes never leaving Darkness’s hands as he reached for his water glass.

He didn’t notice or maybe he did and simply didn’t care Because his mind Wasn’t even here.

It was still on a certain blue-eyed woman.

A slow smirk tugged at his lips.

She knew it was him.

Sharp, clever, fiery woman.

His fingers tapped the phone in his lap, screen still showing the last message.

Lilith: Darkness!! I know it’s you.

He chuckled under his breath, voice low.

A few heads turned, some blushing just at the sound.

And without even looking, he typed out another message.

Human doll ♡: Thinking of you during business meetings should be illegal. Now look what you’ve done.

And he hit send.

After sending the message to Lilith and still not getting a reply Darkness exhaled sharply and shoved the phone into his pocket. Enough. He needed to focus.

He straightened his posture, adjusted the cuffs of his shirt, and forced on the classic Alexander-style cold face—the one that said “I will fire your soul if you speak nonsense.” It worked. The rest of the meeting went on without interruption.

By the time they wrapped up it’s was already evening, most of the people had already left. Darkness walked out of the restaurant calmly.

And that’s when it happened.

A sudden grip on his arm.

He stopped and turned his head slowly already annoyed and came face to face with the woman in the wine-red dress. The same one who had been making eyes at him across the table.

Up close, she reeked of expensive perfume and cheap wine. Her eyes were slightly hazy, her lipstick too red, and her smile… far too forced.

“Hey handsome,” she purred, deliberately pressing against his side so that her chest was right in his line of sight. “Would you like to… spend some time with me?”

Darkness’s expression didn’t even twitch.

If anything, it darkened.

His gaze slid down to where her hand was still gripping his arm, and then back to her face like she was something under his shoe.

“…You’re drunk,” he said flatly, voice void of emotion.

“Mmm maybe,” she giggled, trying to lean closer, “but that makes it more fun, doesn’t it?”

Darkness’s jaw clenched.

He didn’t like being touched.

He didn’t like cheap perfume.

And he really didn’t like being cornered by someone whose personality screamed “delusional and loud.”

“Let go,” he said.

She didn’t move.

So he took a step back, pried her fingers off his sleeve one by one, then looked her dead in the eyes.

“If you touch me again,” he said slowly, voice low and sharp, “you won’t have hands to touch anyone.”

The smile on her face cracked.

She froze.

Darkness turned without another word and walked off, pulling out his phone as he went.

Still no reply from Lilith.

He clicked open her contact again, thumb hovering.

Then he smirked.

Human doll ♡: A woman just tried to seduce me.

And he hit send.

Lilith had been buried in work since morning. Her desk was covered in notes, charts, and her laptop was running on 14% battery because she hadn’t moved from her chair in hours. But she didn’t care. Her brain was locked in business mode.

She’d received a formal reply from Mr. Hons—green light on her project. The deal was sealed. The developers, marketers, and production team were being arranged on his end. All she had to do now… was wait.

Of course, Lilith didn’t like just sitting.

So she did her own investigation.

Turns out, Mr. Hons wasn’t just a mid-tier investor. Behind him was one of the largest private holdings in the country—connected directly to a royal bloodline. Which made this entire venture twice as powerful, and ten times more dangerous.

But Lilith didn’t get scared—if anything, it only made her more serious.
