Chapter 10 - 10: Never Provoke The She-Devil (1/2)

The sun has yet to rise but Lillie had already awoken from her nap. Only three hours of sleep and it's already enough for her.

She stood up from her warm bed and stretched her sore limbs. She saw her figure from the body mirror and looked at herself in disdain.

Wrinkly clothes, bird nest hair, smushed lipstick. If anyone saw her right now, they would probably jump through the windows of her office.

Good thing she warned Elliot before to not enter her bedroom at all cost. Or else, he'll definitely see the real she-devil, literally.

Lillie entered the bathroom and took a warm shower, her face was now clear of make-up, revealing her unblemished, jade, white skin.

Her transparent green eyes are no longer apparent from weariness. Turning the shower knob off, she took her light pink, fluffy towel and wrapped her body with it then another towel for her hair.

Switching on the hair dryer, she took her brush and dried her natural and luscious ash-colored hair. After that, she went towards her walk-in closet, where all of her business and emergency clothes are.

She wore a white pencil skirt and a beige, long-sleeved, high-necked blouse with ruffles and a simple white pumps. [1]

Her hair was put into a simple yet elegant messy bun. She thanks youtube for that.

Opening the door through her office, she saw Elliot sitting at the side as expected, with a cup of steaming coffee already on her table. It was the usual routine for them.

”Miss, your father had call through the landline, informing you to come back to the old residence for some personal matter.” He said, straight to the point.

Lillie hummed and sat at her swiveled chair and turned it around towards the huge and clear window that displayed the picturesque view of Country K.

”It seems I need those papers now.” She mumbled.

”Miss, I've already finished them.” Elliot intervened and placed a brown envelop on her desk.

Lillie faced her swiveled chair back on her table. She stared at Elliot with a raised eyebrow.

”Always prepared aren't you?”

Elliot chuckled. ”Miss is jesting, you ask for such simple task. So, I had the liberty to finish it sooner than what you've expected.”

Lillie shook her head, slightly amused. ”You never fail to surprise me with your capabilities, Elliot. Good thing I had such great eyes.” She said, not even humbling herself just a bit.

”That, you have, miss.” Elliot agreed.

”Now that these are done, reschedule the board meeting.”

”Yes.”

”That bitch! How dare she make us wait?! It's the fourth time she rescheduled the damn meeting! Is she even putting us in her eyes?!” A fleshy middle-aged man screeched furiously.

”Mr Zhang please ease your anger. If someone heard you talking like that to her, it'll be off with your head!” His co-business man anxiously reminded. This idiotic fatty doesn't know a damn thing about Lillie Bai's capabilities.
