The devil invites himself to the family dinner

I glanced at my phone and was surprised to see that time had flown by. The afternoon was already drawing to a close, and the sky was beginning to darken. 

- Girls, it's already almost six o'clock, I announced to them in surprise. 

-What's the matter ? Do you have a date?

-No, I was planning to crash Lorenzo's family dinner this evening. This is the perfect opportunity to start our plan.

Rhea and Nyx exchanged a malicious look before nodding enthusiastically.

-That's an excellent idea, agrees Rhea. If you manage to sneak in, you might hear something interesting or even confront him directly.

Nyx stood up, her gaze already scanning the room for clothes.

-If you go to this dinner, you have to be impeccable, she declares. We will prepare you properly.

She opened her closet and started pulling out clothes, spreading them out on the bed.

-Try this, she said, handing me an elegant but discreet black dress. You need to be comfortable while still being chic. 

I took the dress and went to change in the bathroom. When I returned, the girls greeted me with exclamations of approval.

-Perfect, it suits Rhea. But you're still missing something.

She approached me with a small makeup bag and began to work on my face with precise and rapid movements.

-Not too much makeup, just enough to enhance your eyes and give you a confident look, explained by applying a touch of mascara.

Nyx, meanwhile, adjusted the folds of the dress and handed me a pair of matching earrings.

-There you go, she said, stepping back to admire her work. You are beautiful. Now you have to act like you belong at this dinner party. Confidence, assurance and attentive listening to everything that is said.

I looked at myself in the mirror and was not surprised by the result. I already knew I was beautiful. The girls had done an incredible job in such a short time. I felt ready to take on the world, or at least Lorenzo's dinner.

-Thank you, girls, I said to them smiling, You are truly incredible like me

-Always so narcissistic, Rhea mocked, rolling her eyes 

-Besides, you better piss off Lorenzo there, added Nyx 

-Of course, I smiled at him, my name is not Neeri for nothing 

-It's true that we don't call you the Devil for nothing, adds Rhea 

-You'll handle this like a pro, Nyx reassured me, giving me a little tap on the shoulder. And don't forget, we're with you. We'll meet up afterwards to take stock.

I took a deep breath and headed towards the door.

-Come on, here we go!, I exclaimed 

-You're going to be completely torn, replied Rhea in a confident tone. 

-As usual, I replied simply 

I left Nyx's apartment with renewed determination. As I walked, I mentally went over our plan. It was time to activate code black and start collecting the evidence needed to save my sister. Nothing could distract me from this goal.
