Nina's face turned pink in an instant. "Wh-What?! He's not even supposed to be here right now!" she said, flustered.
Lilith chuckled softly. "Mm. But he is here. Watching everything… like a quiet bodyguard."
Nina tried to look away casually, but the red on her cheeks gave everything away.
Lilith turned back to her script with the same cold elegance. "Focus on your lines. You're sweating more over gossip than your actual scene."
"I'm not—! Ugh!" Nina groaned and quickly walked away.
Lilith smiled to herself.

At night, Lilith sat near the window, lights dim, city shining outside.
She picked up her phone and called her human doll.
The phone rang once… twice… and just as it was about to cut off, someone picked up.
"Hello? Miss Lilith??" came a rushed voice from the other side.
It wasn't human doll.
It was his assistant—Quinn.
Lilith's expression darkened instantly.
"Where is he?" she asked, frowning.
