After flashing her pitiful face to the reporters outside, they finally stepped aside, letting her pass. Lilith walked into the building, her expression instantly shifting back to its usual calm, almost smug look.
Ah! So tiring! she thought, a satisfied smirk forming. Who knew I'd be this good at acting?
She noticed the receptionist, Aria, watching her with a sympathetic expression. Lilith just gave her a brief nod, keeping up the quiet, sorrowful facade.
But as soon as she turned away, her smirk crept back, her heels clicking confidently as she headed up to her floor.
I'd be the best actor if I tried… pity the entertainment industry doesn't deserve me, Lilith mused, barely hiding her grin as she walked to her workstation.
On her way, everyone in the office glanced at her with sympathetic looks. The icy beauty of the office had transformed overnight into the sorrowful, tragic figure everyone felt sorry for. What a tragedy.
