Chapter 154 - The Strange Man Is Back Again.

"Do not speak anything against her! It is not Hazel's mistake! I am the one to blame!" The man shook his head and looked away as if he was hiding his tears. 

"My lord!" he raised his hand in the air and then turned and left from there.

They all exchanged glances but did not speak further. 

Hazel, who had seen all the drama, gritted her teeth. She had thought that the man would show his arrogance and do a folly like her sister and father. But he was more cunning than she had thought.

"My lady, this is your office." The clerk showed her the way. The room was minimally decorated.

It was filled with files and other records but they all were neatly arranged on the table.

A few paintings were on the wall with maps of the empire and a few other important papers. Everything was related to work only.

"If you need anything, please press that bell, my lady. Your aide will be here soon to help you with work!" She nodded her head and sat on the table as the clerk bowed her head and left from there.

Hazel looked at the files. It seemed a lot of work while she had only taken training for a few days from Richard.

"My lady, everyone seems to be supporting only the lord. I could hear from afar, he is taking advantage of the sympathy from everyone.`` Hazel sighed as she nodded at the girl.

Since Richard had chosen her, she must be a werewolf too.

"It is okay, we need strong proof against him. And a person can not act all the time!" Instead of wasting time on thinking about him, Hazel decided to look for the details now.

"Ohhhh"

"Wooh" 

Hazel frowned when she heard a lot of noises suddenly.

"What is happening here?" she asked her maid who was looking out with curious eyes.

"I am not sure my lady. But there is a man who is flirting with everyone! Wait that is…" her eyes widened and her lips parted but not a word came out.

She looked like her soul had left her body and hazel frowned.

"That is.. What?" she demanded and finally the girl came back to her senses!!

"Nothing.. I think he is a higher post as everyone is bowing their head in front of him!" The maid bit her lips but did not speak further.

"A higher post and this indecency. I think there are more people like Jonathan than I thought.`` Hazel shook her head and the maid lowered hers. 

'Beta! What are you doing here!!' muttered the girl only to receive a glare.

"Dare to tell me about it, and I will see how you end up. Both Alpha and his wife should not know about me."

The maid shuddered but did not dare to refuse. While their alpha was strong and cold, he was full of ethics.

The beta was charming, careless and sweet but she knew he was too cruel to care about others.

Soon the door of the office was knocked and hazel raised her head again, 

"Come in!" 

The door of the office creaked open and she raised her head only to look at the man with widened eyes that soon narrowed and she looked at him as if he was her mortal enemy.

But there was a strange sensation in her heart that was making her restless and joyous that he was here. She tried to curb that feeling away, as she glared at the man and asked in a cold voice, 

"What are you doing here?" 

But even after listening to her cold voice, the man had a bright smile on his face that would instinctively bring a smile to the face of others.

"Where would I be, if not here, my lady. I apologise for reporting late." he bowed his head a bit and walked in.

"You are!" confusion filled her face. Did he work here too? But she had never seen him before last night. But why was he everywhere now!?

"I am your aide, your assistant, your guide in this new office. I am your everything from now on!" he replied with the same sexy smirk on his face as his voice only turned more seductive and there it was!

She felt the same sensation all over her body again.

Damn! Did this man do spells on her! It was so hard to control this sensation!

She clenched her hands into a tight fist which did not go unnoticed by Alex whose smile only broadened with time.

"You are the son of the duke Harenstine!" She did not know the name of the man, but she was sure that was what she was told.

"Nah! He left when his father was kicked out by you!" Hazel raised a brow at his brazen reply and he smirked, "I mean, asked to leave by his majesty! 

So, I was offered the post! 

But do not worry about me. I have enough experience to support you and help you in achieving your goals!" he assured with a knowing smirk as if he knew what her real intentions were. 

Just yesterday, he was not even aware of her name and now he was behaving like he had known her since eternity.

"Who cares what you know or you did not. I am eligible enough to work by myself and you will be the only one to lose the job if you will not work well!" she tried her best to sound more arrogant but it came out a bit stiff.

"I know my lady. Then do you need any help or shall I wait for you to call?"" he asked in a sudden professional tone that surprised her but she nodded her head,

"You can leave, I will be called later!" he nodded and looked at the girl standing beside hazel for time more than appropriate and she frowned.

"Is something the matter?" She did not know why, but she felt annoyed when his gaze lingered on the other girl.

"Yes! Isn't your maid too beautiful for a maid?"

"............"
