Devilish secretary-Chapter 406 Playing game together

The host turned dramatically to Alexander. "Mr. Carter, do you accept?"

Everyone leaned forward, expecting him to politely decline. But Alexander only glanced at Lilith for a heartbeat — a spark of something dangerous, teasing in his eyes and then turned back to the host with a slow nod. freēnovelkiss.com

"Yes," he said simply. His deep voice carried through the room like a dark promise.

Gasps and cheers broke out across the audience. Even some of the other star looked surprised.

Lilith tilted her head, her smile sharpening like a blade. "So we’re playing, hm?"

Alexander’s lips curved into that same rare, sinful smile, the one that made her heartbeat skip. "Anything you want... Miss Lilith."

The host clapped her hands together, her excitement making the audience lean forward in their seats.

"Alright, everyone!" she said brightly, microphone in hand. "Since our special pair, Miss Lilith and Mr. Carter, have agreed to play with us tonight, let’s invite a few more pairs, shall we?"

Her words barely finished before a small group of well-known stars were guided onto the stage by staff. There was laughter and scattered applause as three pairs took their spots, each looking glamorous under the stage lights.

Lilith stood tall in her stunning red dress, while Alexander remained calm at her side, one hand lightly in his pocket, his dark eyes lazily sweeping over the other couples, unbothered.

The host flashed her bright smile, sweeping her eyes over the audience and the four pairs standing under the stage lights.

"Alright, everyone!" she said into the microphone, her voice lively. "Since we have these wonderful pairs on stage, including our special surprise guest, Mr. Carter, and the stunning Miss Lilith — let’s play a little game to test your teamwork."

"Here’s how it works," she explained, her eyes sparkling. "Each pair will be given a simple challenge: one person will be blindfolded while the other gives them instructions to build a small block tower! Whoever finishes first or makes the tallest standing tower will win a special prize from tonight’s sponsor."

The audience laughed and clapped. It was lighthearted, harmless but everyone secretly wondered how well Lilith and Sebastian would work together.

Lilith folded her arms, giving Alexander a dry look. "You’re not going to sabotage this, are you?" she teased under her breath.

Alexander raised a brow, the corner of his lips curving up into a dangerously charming smile. "Who knows?" he said coolly. "I quite enjoy seeing you try to boss me around."

The staff quickly passed out colorful blocks and blindfolds.

"Who’s wearing the blindfold?" the host asked, grinning at each pair.

Without missing a beat, Alexander gave Lilith a look that made her roll her eyes and she picked up the blindfold.

"I’ll do it," she said, tying it behind her head. "Don’t make me regret trusting you."

The audience laughed softly at their banter, some fans whispering that this was better than any scripted drama.

As the countdown started, Alexander leaned close enough that only she could hear his voice, low and teasing.

"Left hand... move it here. No, not there — higher."

His instructions were so calm, yet the smug tone made her cheeks warm under the blindfold.

The audience leaned forward in suspense, watching the powerful CEO and the rising actress stack blocks.

While Lilith and Alexander were in their own little world of quiet teasing, the other pairs were creating an even bigger scene that had the audience laughing and the host nearly dropping her mic.

One famous actor-couple — Freya and her co-star, for example were already bickering halfway through the challenge.

"Freya, that’s crooked! Put it straight!" her co-star complained loudly, holding the base steady while she giggled.

"You told me to go left! This is left!" Freya pouted, waving her hands in the air.

The audience burst into laughter as Freya smacked him playfully on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, the second pair, a young idol duo known for their flirty chemistry on screen were clearly taking the chance to act cute for the cameras.

"Hold still, babe," the male idol whispered dramatically, guiding her hand.

"But your breath tickles my ear!" the girl squeaked, giggling so hard she almost knocked the entire block tower over.

Fans squealed from the audience, snapping photos and gossiping about whether they were ’real’ or just playing along.

The third pair — a veteran actor and an actress famous for her serious roles looked hilariously awkward. They stood stiff as statues, politely passing blocks back and forth like they’d never touched a toy before in their lives.

"Um... do you want me to put it here?" the actress asked, her voice painfully formal.

"Yes, Miss Collins... that should be fine," the actor said, nodding gravely. The tower was tiny but perfectly balanced, the audience was trying so hard not to laugh at their overly polite teamwork.

Compared to them, Lilith and Alexander were strangely... intense. Quiet, but there was a spark. His instructions were calm but firm; her blindfolded hands moved exactly how he guided them.

They looked so serious yet oddly natural together that a few people watching began to whisper:

"They’re too good at this..."

"Isn’t this the first time they’ve done anything like this together?"

"Look at Mr. Carter’s smile... oh my god."

As the final countdown came closer, the other pairs were still giggling, teasing, or bickering but Alexander and Lilith’s tower stood tallest, not even wobbling.

When the buzzer sounded, the host practically squealed:

"And our winners... Miss Lilith and Mr. Carter!"

The crowd erupted in cheers and a few whistles. Lilith pulled off her blindfold, her eyes meeting Alexander’s dark, amused gaze.

She wanted to snap something sarcastic at him but instead, she just smirked, the corners of her lips curving.

The host, still giggling from the chaos, handed Lilith and Alexander their prize, a shiny, beautifully wrapped gift box tied with a red satin ribbon.

"Let’s see what you two won!" the host said, beaming at them and gesturing for them to open it on stage.

Lilith, still holding back a laugh, shot Alexander a playful side-eye. He only raised an eyebrow at her, his lips curving into that infuriating half-smile that made half the audience hold their breath.

Together, they held the box between them. Lilith’s fingers tugged at the ribbon, while Alexander pulled the lid open smoothly.

A soft gasp went up from the crowd when they saw what was inside —
