Devilish secretary - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Moody human doll Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Moody human doll Lilith’s smirk widened ever so slightly, a flicker of amusement dancing in her piercing blue eyes.

“No, sir,” she said softly, her tone teasing.

“Just… admiring the scenery.” Hearing her words, Nova choked on air, his hand flying to his chest as if he was about to pass out.

“D-Did I hear that right?” he sputtered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Ava blinked and rubbed her ears, looking genuinely confused.

“Wait… what did she just say?

Did she-” she cut herself off, glancing back between Lilith and Sebastian in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Rose’s face lit up like a sparkler on New Year’s Eve.

Her excitement was clear as she sat up straighter, her gaze darting between her brother and Lilith like she was watching the climax of her favorite drama.

‘Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Did Sister Lilith just-‘ she thought, practically bouncing in her seat.

Even Sebastian looked surprised for a moment, his usually expressionless face showing a slight change.

His dark eyes shifted to Lilith, narrowing a little as if trying to figure out what she meant.

“Admiring the scenery?” he asked, his deep voice carrying a mix of curiosity, suspicion, and a hint of amusement.

Lilith’s smirk grew wider, her eyes fixed on his.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” she added, her voice as smooth as silk, her words deliberately ambiguous.

For a fleeting moment, the air in the car seemed heavier, charged with tension that made everyone hold their breath.

And then, with impeccable timing, she tilted her head ever so slightly, her eyes glinting and gestured casually toward the window.

“Isn’t the view of the buildings on your side so pretty?” she teased, her smirk now fully formed, as if she had been playing a game only she knew the rules to.

Sebastian blinked, and his jaw tightened for a moment before his lips twitched into the faintest hint of a smirk.

“The buildings,” he repeated, his tone low, measured, and vaguely amused.

Nova, still recovering from his earlier choking fit, groaned and buried his face in his hands.

“I can’t do this.

I’m too young for this level of suspense.” Ava elbowed him, her own face torn between disbelief and laughter.

“I don’t think she’s talking about the buildings, idiot.” Rose clapped her hands excitedly, practically vibrating in her seat.

‘This is better than any movie I have ever seen!’ she thought, her eyes sparkling.

Sebastian leaned back in his seat, his gaze never leaving Lilith.

“Fascinating,” he murmured.

Lilith, ever composed, turned her attention to the window, the smirk on her lips never fading.

“Isn’t it, though?” she replied, her voice light but laced with a hint of satisfaction.

The driver knew Lilith’s address, so he pulled up smoothly in front of her apartment building.

Lilith, still smiling, opened the car door and waved at everyone.

“Bye, see you all later!” she called out, her voice light and smooth.

Sebastian watched her silently as she stepped out into the light drizzle, the rain catching on her long, flowing hair.

Her figure moved gracefully as she ran toward the entrance of her building.

For a moment, she looked like a fleeting dream, something untouchable yet captivating.

His dark eyes lingered on her retreating back, his jaw tightening slightly.

The corner of his lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly buried the thought.

Instead, he closed his eyes for a brief second, exhaling slowly.

When he opened them again, his face was once again blank, devoid of any emotion.

He leaned back in his seat and pulled out his phone.

His long fingers swiped across the screen as he started scrolling through emails, as though nothing had happened.

Yet, somewhere deep down, his mind couldn’t erase the image of her running through the rain.

She looked like something he didn’t want to admit.

She is Beautiful, untouchable, and maddeningly unforgettable.

________________________ Monday morning arrived, and Lilith stood by her large window, sipping her steaming coffee.

The city was slowly waking up, and the morning light cast a soft glow over the skyline.

She inhaled deeply, feeling refreshed, a rare calmness washing over her-most likely thanks to the soothing energy power she had.

She glanced at her phone, her lips curling into a satisfied smile as she checked her subscription stats.

The numbers were climbing steadily, and curiosity seemed to be at an all-time high.

Many had purchased the first-tier subscription (short highlights), making it her best-seller.

Clearly, her little plan to turn drama into profit was working perfectly.

Scrolling further, she noticed the comments section was noisy with activity, but she decided against diving into it right now.

“Later,” she muttered to herself.

The last thing she wanted was to get caught up and end up running late for work.

Finishing the last sip of her coffee, she straightened her skirt and grabbed her bag.

** When Lilith entered her workplace, she immediately noticed the heavy tension in the air.

Employees were scurrying around, their faces pale and nervous.

It was clear something was wrong.

She passed Marcus, who was sitting stiffly at his desk.

“What’s going on?” she asked casually, her sharp eyes catching the way he flinched.

Marcus quickly got up and walked closer to her, lowering his voice.

“Boss is angry today.

He came in earlier than usual,” he whispered, glancing nervously at Sebastian’s office door.

Lilith raised her brows in mild surprise but said nothing.

Suddenly, a deep, angry voice cut through the air like a blade.

“Miss Lilith, I don’t pay you just for talking!” Startled, she turned to see Sebastian standing by his office door, his dark eyes glaring at her and Marcus.

His sharp features seemed even more intimidating as he folded his arms and stared them down.

“Prepare coffee for me,” he snapped, his tone cold and clipped.

Without waiting for a response, he turned and slammed his door shut, leaving the entire office frozen in silence.

The employees exchanged worried glances, clearly terrified of his mood.

But Lilith, ever the odd one out, simply smirked.

“bipolar,” she muttered under her breath, amused at his sudden outburst.

With that, she made her way to prepare his coffee.

Lilith prepared the coffee, her steps light yet confident as she approached his office.

She knocked gently, waiting for his permission.

“Come in,” Sebastian’s voice replied, gruff and cold.

Pushing the door open, she walked inside and immediately noticed his stony expression.

His sharp jaw was clenched, his dark eyes glaring at the screen in front of him as though it had personally offended him.

His aura felt even heavier than usual, filling the room with an almost tangible tension.

What’s wrong with this human doll today?

she thought, her piercing blue eyes observing him as she carefully placed the coffee on his desk.

“Your coffee, sir,” she said in a smooth, professional tone, stepping back slightly to give him space.

Sebastian finally glanced up, his intense eyes meeting hers briefly.

There was something in his gaze-annoyance mixed with a hint of something else, something harder to place.

“Hmm,” he said And picked up the coffee but didn’t take a sip, instead returning his focus to whatever was on his screen.

Lilith, however, wasn’t in the mood to tiptoe around his bad mood.

“Anything else, sir?” she asked, her voice calm but filed with subtle amusement, as if daring him to lash out further.

Sebastian glanced up again, this time narrowing his eyes at her slightly, but he said nothing.

Instead, he waved a dismissive hand, signaling her to leave.

Lilith turned on her heels, a small smirk tugging at her lips as she walked out.

Moody human doll, she thought, amused.

“Wait,” Sebastian said, his tone clipped.

Lilith stopped in her tracks as his deep voice called her back.

She turned around, tilting her head slightly.

“Yes, sir?” “Get me the meeting files for today.

And make sure to email me the weekly schedule.” “Okay, sir,” Lilith replied, her voice smooth and professional.

As she left his office, her heels clicked against the floor, her expression neutral.

Back at her desk, she gathered the meeting files and started drafting the email for his schedule.

Meanwhile, inside his office, Sebastian leaned back in his chair, tapping a pen against his desk.

His eyes flickered toward the coffee she had brought him.

Taking a sip, he allowed the warmth to settle his nerves, but his thoughts remained on her.

Efficient, calm, always collected…

His jaw clenched slightly.

Why does she never react like others?

Does nothing rattle her?

He placed the coffee cup down and exhaled deeply, his gaze fixed on the door she had exited.

“She’s good at her job,” he muttered under his breath.

“But infuriatingly unshakable.” However, as Sebastian thought about the events of last night, his expression darkened, and his jaw clenched tightly.

The memory replayed in his mind like a taunt, and his grip on the pen tightened until his knuckles turned white.

He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes in frustration.

His usually calm demeanor cracked as he muttered under his breath, “Control, Alexander…

Control.”
