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

Arc 1: Counterattack of the Tyrant CEO's Ex-Fiancée (Lucifer x Reader) Chapter 3

Just thinking about her, Lucifer's hairs stood. Luckily, he was saved by another call from Simeon.

"Lucifer, where are you?"

"I'm inside a McDonald's restroom stall."

The other line went silent.

"Simeon?"

"I'm sorry, I think I just heard you say that you were in a McDonald's restroom stall."

"That's right."

" ... You took MC to a fast food joint?"

"No, I didn't get to meet her. I went with one of her interns. Send me a car."

"Wait a minute. What? One of her interns?"

"Yes, a kid named Lotus. Now, the car--"

"Lucifer, why on Earth would you go to a McDonald's with one of your fiancée interns? And Lotus? A female intern?" Only Simeon, who he's known since kindergarten, would talk to bigshot Lucifer like this.

"She wanted to treat me to lunch after spilling coffee on me."

"And you just ... went?" Simeon sounded out of breath, like he couldn't believe that this machine of a man would do that.

Lucifer was about to say something in return, but stopped. Why did he go? He originally believed that he went with Lotus because the girl kept mentioning MC intimately and he wanted to ask more about his future bride. But thinking now with a clear mind, he knew that reason made no sense. What compelled him to go with her?

Simeon snapped him out of his thoughts, "Nevermind, we'll talk about this later. I already sent a car for you. Your grandfather called. He wants you to come over."

Lucifer knew why, and as he sat in the back of his limo, he wondered if he'd be forced to dissolve the engagement. He prided himself in knowing what his opponents and allies will do next, but frankly, the old man was an exception. His grandfather was silly, sometimes traditional, sometimes radical.

Lucifer leaned back in his seat.

Grandfather wanted him to get married or at least get engaged. He kept dropping hints that he wanted Lucifer to choose you, the granddaughter of a deceased friend. And "hints" here involved sending your pictures all over Lucifer's condo.

Lucifer actually knew who you were before the old man's meddling. You were a fellow member in the student council in high school. He could tell that you were ambitious without being greedy, so he chose you, putting his grandfather at ease.

But even after the engagement, your relationship remained static. Lucifer had no real feelings of attachment towards you.

So break up or not, he really didn't care about what the old man would do.

"Sir, we're here," informed the chauffeur.

The car parked right outside ginormous white gates, where the old man's secretary was already waiting for him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lucifer."

"Good afternoon, how is he?" The only thing Lucifer was worried about was the man's health.

The secretary smiled. "This way, sir."

Lucifer's grandfather lived in a Greek-inspired estate outside the city. One day wouldn't be enough to tour the entire place, and it took an awkward twenty-minute walk inside the mansion before they reached their destination.

The secretary stopped walking and gestured at the dining room door.

Lucifer nodded and went inside, not expecting to hear his grandfather's lively laughter. The old man was speaking with a woman faced away from Lucifer but he knew who it was.
