Devilish secretary - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 I have to make this happen Chapter 64: Chapter 64 I have to make this happen “And you said it was an intense romantic movie,” Ava said with a flat tone, her arms crossed as she stared at the animated children’s movie on the big screen.

Rose, sitting beside her, shot a look at her brother, narrowing her eyes before rolling them dramatically.

She leaned back, sulking a little but still watching the princess on screen with mild interest.

Ava, despite her initial disappointment, was giggling at some of the cute moments, enjoying the colorful animation.

Nova, however, was a different story.

He sat slumped in his seat, his face twisted in embarrassment as he watched the overly cheerful scenes of princesses and princes dancing.

“This is so not my vibe,” Nova muttered under his breath, looking like he wanted to melt into the chair.

Unable to take it anymore, he glanced to his left, where Sebastian sat next to him.

Surely, the boss feels as uncomfortable as I do, Nova thought.

But to his shock, Sebastian was sitting there with perfect composure, his face serious as he watched the movie intently.

There was no sign of discomfort or amusement, just complete focus.

It was as though he were analyzing a critical business strategy rather than watching a children’s fairy tale.

Nova’s jaw dropped.

“Are you… enjoying this, boss?” he whispered, leaning closer, his disbelief evident.

Sebastian didn’t bother looking away from the screen, nor did he reply to Nova’s question.

His expression remained serious.

Lilith, sitting beside Ava, leaned back in her seat, her elbow resting on the armrest, and her hand propped under her chin.

Her piercing blue eyes scanned the colorful animation on the screen, though it was evident from her posture that she wasn’t entirely invested in the story.

Nova was still sulking, his arms crossed, and his face scrunched up like a child denied candy.

Ava elbowed him sharply, rolling her eyes.

“Stop sulking.

The movie wasn’t even that bad.” Nova huffed dramatically, “I feel like I lost my manhood in that theater.” Ava burst into laughter, flipping her hair.

“As if you had any to begin with.” Lilith chuckled softly, amused by their conversation.

As they stepped outside, the gentle rain was falling, bringing a cool, soothing feel to the air.

They stood under the theater’s awning, watching the rain.

Sebastian, always quick and efficient, took out his phone and made a call.

Moments later, his sleek black car arrived and stopped near them.

And Lilith noticed a group of girls nearby.

Their eyes were glued to Sebastian, their faces lit with admiration as they giggled and whispered among themselves.

Some even had the audacity to pull out their phones to take sneaky photos.

Her smile vanished, replaced by a dangerous smirk.

Her piercing blue eyes darkened, shooting a cold, sharp glare at the group.

The amused chatter among the girls quickly quieted as they caught her intimidating gaze.

Some of them shuffled awkwardly, pretending to look elsewhere.

Human doll really is attractive, she thought, her fingers flexing at her sides.

The idea of others ogling him without any restraint annoyed her more.

With a graceful stride, she stepped forward and casually stood behind Sebastian, a silent declaration that he wasn’t just anyone to be ogled at.

Sebastian, entirely unaware of her little territorial display, was busy talking to his driver, his sharp profile looking perfect.

His dark hair glistened, and the rolled-up sleeves of his crisp shirt made him look effortlessly attractive.

Nova leaned toward Ava and whispered, “Why do I feel like Lilith just scared off a pack of wolves?” Ava grinned knowingly, her eyes flicking between Lilith and the damp, retreating girls.

“Because she probably did.” Rose bounced excitedly on her toes, a big grin plastered on her face.

She had seen it too-the group of girls checking out her brother.

It wasn’t surprising; after all, Sebastian was tall, handsome, and had that aura that girls seemed to swoon over.

But what truly amazed her was how Lilith, with just one sharp, cold gaze, managed to scatter them like frightened sheep.

It was so cool.

Rose’s admiration for Lilith grew even more.

She wanted that kind of power, a gaze so sharp it could cut like a blade.

She couldn’t help but daydream about glaring at Sienna, her smug, annoying rival, and watching her melt away in fear.

Her imagination ran wild as she pictured herself dramatically saying, “Sienna, don’t even try to cross me,” with Lilith standing behind her like a fearless queen, backing her up.

Rose’s excitement bubbled over as a thought struck her-if sister Lilith became her sister-in-law, wouldn’t that be amazing?

Not only would she have someone to team up with against Sienna, but Lilith would also bring a fresh energy to their stuffy family.

Rose clasped her hands together in front of her chest and whispered under her breath, “Please, please, please let her marry my brother.” Sebastian, who was now holding the car door open, glanced at her suspiciously.

“What are you muttering about, Rose?” “Nothing!” she said quickly, skipping to the car and hopping inside.

But as she sat down, her mind was already busy planning how to subtly nudge her brother and Lilith closer together.

I have to make this happen, she thought determinedly, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Hey, Brother Nova, please!

I want to talk about something important.

Can you sit with me?” Rose asked quickly, her voice sweet and innocent.

Nova, who had been sulking the entire time at the thought of sitting next to Sebastian again, felt like his prayers had been answered.

His face lit up, and without a moment’s hesitation, he slid into the seat next to Rose, grinning widely.

“Of course, Rose.

Anything for you,” he said, completely oblivious to her true intentions.

Ava’s eyes widened in realization.

If Nova was sitting with Rose, and Lilith sat with them, that would leave her to sit next to the boss.

Her mind raced, and before anyone could react, she hurriedly slipped into the middle row with Rose and Nova.

She plastered on an innocent smile as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Sebastian, who had been quietly watching the whole scene, raised one perfectly arched brow.

His gaze fell on Lilith, and he subtly gestured toward the backseat, indicating for her to go ahead.

Lilith didn’t hesitate.

She slid into the backseat.

Ava and Rose exchanged a knowing look as Lilith settled in, and Sebastian followed her, sitting beside her in the spacious backseat.

The atmosphere instantly shifted.

The space between them seemed to grow smaller, even though the car was roomy.

Sebastian leaned back against the seat, his arm casually resting along the edge, his dark gaze occasionally flicking toward Lilith.

Meanwhile, she sat comfortably, her piercing blue eyes calmly observing the world outside the window as if completely unaffected by his proximity.

Sebastian pulled out his phone as the car started, the faint glow from the screen highlighting his sharp, chiseled features.

Outside, a soft rain drizzled, the cool air carrying a refreshing chill.

A few drops of rain clung stubbornly to his face, remnants of the earlier drizzle as he climbed into the car.

The faint glow from his phone caught the droplets, making them shimmer softly against his skin.

He made no move to wipe them away, as if unaware or perhaps unconcerned by their presence.

His long, thick lashes framed his dark eyes as he stared at the phone, seemingly engrossed in whatever he was scrolling through.

Lilith’s gaze wandered to his hands.

His fingers were long and thick, rough yet oddly elegant as they swiped across the screen.

She couldn’t help but notice how much bigger his hand was compared to hers.

Her piercing blue eyes flicked upward to his profile-his perfectly sculpted jawline, his straight nose, and those lips that seemed both sexy and inviting.

Her gaze darkened, a storm brewing quietly within her.

This human doll was undeniably eye candy, a man who attract attention without even trying.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar irritation rose in her chest.

The thought of anyone else admiring or wanting him bothered her in a way she couldn’t explain.

She clenched her hands lightly, her expression unreadable as she turned her gaze out the window.

The soft patter of rain against the glass was soothing, but her thoughts were anything but calm.

‘Okay, Human Doll,’ Lilith thought, her lips curling into a faint smirk.

‘You’ve definitely caught my attention, and there’s no escaping me now.’ She turned her head slightly, her piercing blue eyes dark and intense as they landed on him.

Her gaze lingered, unabashedly tracing his sharp features, the long lashes, and the faint drops of rain still clinging to his skin.

Noticing her stare, Sebastian slowly lifted his eyes from his phone.

His dark eyes met hers, sharp and unreadable, and one perfectly arched brow lifted slightly, as if silently asking a question.

Lilith didn’t move or smile.

Her eyes stayed fixed on him, sharp and intense.

Sebastian tilted his head slightly, his expression calm.

“Miss Lilith,” he said in his deep, husky voice, “is there something you’d like to say?”
