QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

Arc 1: Counterattack of the Tyrant CEO's Ex-Fiancée (Lucifer x Reader) Chapter 2

You opened your eyes and found yourself in a new body, sitting in what appeared to be an office. You stood up and walked towards a mirror. This woman could have easily become a model.

You didn't spend too much time admiring your new face though and immediately called for the system, "Uwak, how far along the plot are we?"

[Ding. Answering the Host, the novel's events are about to begin. Lotus is currently buying your coffee and the male lead has just left his car.]

You made your way inside your private lift.

[Host, what're you planning?]

"I'm going to catch a snake, of course." The novel didn't explain why the allegedly cold-hearted CEO was in your company building in the first place, but since he had no official business here, you believed that he was here to see you. Even though the book didn't touch upon their relationship, according to the original host's memories, she and Lucifer had an amicable engagement up until Lotus' intervention.

Actually, the original host's memories filled in a lot of gaps. Lucifer got engaged when his dying grandfather insisted on it, claiming that he wouldn't die peacefully if his only grandson continued to live lonely. MC fit all of the old man's criteria: she was well-mannered and intelligent, she came from a respectable family, and most importantly, she was clear-headed.

Leading her on for a year and then leaving her behind for her assistant, this man can't be forgiven.

You smiled, feeling like you could take on the Devil right now.

[Host, your smile is terrifying.]

"Thank you." A vengeful woman's aura shouldn't be underestimated. You glanced at your watch and asked where the two protagonists were.

[Ding. The female lead is on the elevator while the male lead is taking a phone call in the lounge on the fifth floor.]

You exited your personal lift just in time to catch the leading lady in the hallway. Reeling your desire to walk over and slap this homewrecker, you leaned over the wall.

[Host, why are you hiding? Why aren't you stopping the female lead!?]

"Hush. Let them meet." You watched as the girl turned around, seemingly confused, and stumbled into another hallway.

[Host, why!? Your side task is to make sure the male lead never pursues the female lead!]

"Don't you think it's too convenient?"

[???]

After receiving the original host's memories, you discovered an important piece of information. "It's true that Lotus often got lost, but that was always when she was outside, she never lost her way inside this building."

The system scratched its head and when it said nothing, you sighed.

"... Maybe I should rename you Baka."

[?.?]

[Tagalog term for "cow?"]

"No, baka , as in Japanese for 'idiot'."

[T.T]

"This meeting between lovers has nothing to do with destiny." Because this was a novel everything could be excused simply because the author willed it so, but using logic on this particular plot hole, there was only one explanation: "It was planned."

You then ordered Uwak to livestream the two protagonists.

The male lead just finished his phone call. He glanced at his watch, clicked his tongue, then exited the lounge just as when Lotus walked past the entrance, causing her to spill the coffee on his suit.
