Devilish secretary - Chapter 68
Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Sorry, I am late Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Sorry, I am late Lilith, unaware of their interaction.
kept taking notes, fully focused on the meeting.
But when Sebastian’s arm lightly brushed against hers as he adjusted his chair, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
Sebastian leaned forward, his voice cold as he cut into the discussion, quickly shutting down an executive’s idea.
His sharp authority filled the room, and the executive shrank back under his intense gaze.
Quinn, noticing the sudden tension from his boss, cleared his throat awkwardly and went back to looking at his notes.
He decided it was best to stay silent for the rest of the meeting.
The room went silent as the door opened suddenly, and everyone turned their heads to see who it was.
“Sorry, I’m late,” came a sweet yet sharp voice.
In walked Sienna, wearing a black mini skirt paired with a white blouse that clung perfectly to her frame.
Her face was perfectly dolled up, thick makeup enhancing her features.
Her black eyes sparkled with confidence as she scanned the room, pausing for a moment on Sebastian before looking at the others.
She walked in like she owned the place.
Lilith’s piercing blue eyes glanced in her direction, her expression unreadable but her thoughts sharp.
Sienna’s lips curved into a confident smile.
She knew exactly what she was doing here, and she didn’t care who liked it or not.
After all, Grandma Bria had finally forced Sebastian to give her this job.
For months, she’d tried everything to get into the company, but Sebastian had blocked her every time.
Yesterday, Grandma Bria had fought tooth and nail, throwing her weight around until Sebastian begrudgingly agreed.
Sebastian’s face darkened the moment he saw her.
His sharp jaw clenched, his lips tightened into a thin line, and his dark eyes grew colder, his face calm, but the storm in his gaze showed his irritation.
He thought back to last night, when his grandmother had forced him to hire Sienna.
His jaw tightened as he took a deep breath, his fingers tapping steadily on the table.
This is only temporary, he told himself.
He glanced at Sienna, his annoyance clear.
This company isn’t a playground, Sienna.
You’ll figure that out soon enough.
His gaze sharpened as he thought about how to deal with her later.
The other executives exchanged uneasy glances around the room.
Some frowned at Sienna’s bold entrance and attitude, but no one dared to say anything.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
After all, she was Mr.
Blake’s daughter-a man too powerful to offend.
Still, their opinions of her were already low.
Sienna seemed unaware of the tension.
She walked confidently across the room, her heels clicking on the floor as she stopped in front of Lilith’s chair.
Her smirk widened, her eyes filled with smugness as she spoke.
“Get up!
I’m the new secretary for Sebby,” she said smugly, her voice full of arrogance.
Lilith’s eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening as she tried to stay calm.
Sebby?
Her grip on the pen tightened as she resisted the urge to throw it at Sienna.
How dare this creepy human call him Sebby.
Sebastian, who had been watching quietly, suddenly leaned forward in his chair, his hands resting on the table.
His cold, piercing gaze locked onto Sienna, and the room’s atmosphere shifted, growing tense.
“Sienna,” his deep voice broke the silence, making everyone stop.
He tilted his head slightly, his tone sharp and icy.
“You’re late, and now you’re causing unnecessary distractions.” Sienna’s confidence faltered for a moment, but she quickly forced a nervous laugh.
“Oh, Sebby-” “Mr.
Carter,” he interrupted firmly, his eyes narrowing as he stared her down.
Sienna’s smirk disappeared under the intensity of his glare.
She straightened herself, trying to stay composed, but the tension in the room was heavy.
The other executives kept their eyes down, pretending to be busy with their notes.
Lilith’s lips curled into a small smirk as she watched Sienna squirm under Sebastian’s cold stare.
Good luck dealing with the Human Doll, Creepy Human.
You’re going to need it.
Sienna’s eyes scanned the room, searching for an empty seat.
She spotted one at the far end of the table, away from Sebastian.
As she walked over, she couldn’t suppress her irritation.
How dare he dismiss me like that?
She swallowed her anger, forcing a smile.
Once seated, she muttered just loud enough for those nearby to hear, “Oh, Sebby must want to keep our relationship professional in the office, haha…” Her gaze flicked toward Lilith, ensuring she caught every word.
Lilith’s piercing blue eyes narrowed, her jaw clenching at the deliberate provocation.
Sebastian’s face stayed calm, but his dark eyes showed a hint of annoyance.
He sat up straight in his chair and said firmly, “Let’s continue with the meeting.” The other executives exchanged nervous glances but quickly focused back on the agenda, not wanting to upset Sebastian.
Sienna leaned back in her chair, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Let the games begin.
Sienna leaned forward with a smug smile.
“Oh, Miss Lilith, do you even know about the new software update features?” she asked in a tone loud enough to interrupt the ongoing discussion.
The room collectively tensed.
Executives exchanged annoyed glances, clearly irritated by the disruption.
Assistant Quinn shot a sharp look in Sienna’s direction, his lips pressed into a thin line, while Sebastian’s expression turned darker than the storm clouds outside.
His sharp eyes locked onto Sienna, filled with quiet anger.
Lilith, however, remained calm.
Her lips curved into a professional but dangerous smile, her piercing blue eyes fixed on Sienna like a predator observing its prey.
Without hesitation, she turned to her, exuding unshakable confidence.
“Miss Sienna,” Lilith began smoothly, her voice calm, “if you’re questioning my knowledge, let me assure you-I not only know about the new software update features, but I personally worked on the presentation you’re seeing now.” Sienna’s smug expression faltered, her face reddening slightly.
“Oh, I…
I was just making sure,” she stammered, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Lilith’s smile remained steady.
“Thank you for your concern, but rest assured, I make sure my work is flawless before stepping into a meeting.
Perhaps you should review the content beforehand, Miss Sienna.
It might save you from unnecessary confusion.”
