Chapter 155 - Hide His Reality.

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

"....." her words left both of the ladies stunned but he was not looking at all embarrassed by his words.

"Why don't you think so, my lady?" he asked with such an innocent face that Hazel did not know how to respond to such a question.

If she would say yes that meant she was the cruel one to ask such a beautiful girl to do manual work and if she denied, she would sound like a jealous person.

"Are you trying to flirt with my staff.. Lord..??" That was when she realized that she did not even know the name of the man.

"I am Alex, Alexander Elbberto. But you can only call me Alex!" he replied with a smile as he looked at the maid again, "did i flirt with you, dear?" 

"..."

"Leave first, I will call you if I need to!" Hazel replied in a cold voice. More than him, she wanted to get rid of the strange feelings like she was feeling too annoyed. Even if he was a jerk, why was she concerned about him so much?

"Ah, you broke my heart with that cold voice, my lady. What if I will not be able to survive and die?" He clutched the left part of his chest in an exaggerated way and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

"Would you take the responsibility if something happened to me?" his face formed into a pout and he looked at her rather pitifully.

"....." this man had the capacity to make her annoyed and speechless at the same time that she did not know how to react to it.

"Lord Alexander.. If you did not leave right now, then I would.." she herself did not know what she would do!?

"Oh, did anyone tell you that your blush increases and you look enchanting when you are flattered or angry. My heart would not be able to bear it, so I should rather leave!" he continued to hold his chest and look at her as if he would die of all the swirling emotions.

She knew that she should be furious but she did not know why.. A silly smile formed on her face as she looked at the antics of the man.

Alex's eyes softened when he looked at the sweet smile forming on her face. Even when he tried to stop it, he could not help but feel her happiness. 

He bowed and finally left the room before she would throw something on his face and closed the door. 

But once the door was closed, the smile from his face disappeared, and eyes turned cold and hard.

He looked like a demon came from the Netherland to get one's soul.

But when he turned and his eyes met another girl that was waiting for him to come back, the sweet Alex was back again.

"Were you waiting for me all this time, my lady!?" he asked the girl who blushed as if she had been proposed but nodded her head.

"Yes, I am your assigned maid, my lord. Do not address me as a lady, my name is Daisy!" her voice was low and shy as she lowered her head and continued to look down.

"Daisy, such a pretty name. Even if you would have been a lady, I would have called you by your name since it is so sweet!" he dramatized and she blushed further.

"So, where is my office then?" he asked in a warm voice but she still frowned.

"You are the assistant of the lady! So, of course, you will share the office with her. The previous lord did not take a separate room from the duke." she informed in a conflicted voice.

The old pair was father and son so it was not a big deal if they shared the room but the new pair was a married lady and a foreigner so they might not feel comfortable with each other.

"But if you want, I can ask lord Jonathan to arrange a separate room for you. He is a very kind man. He will surely understand your condition." she assured me. But Alex shook his head.

"No, that would be fine. I will share the office with the lady. But before that can you help me in giving a tour of the office so that I know what is where and what I was expected to do?" Though unsure, she nodded her head and took the lead.

"The department is one of the most important departments of the ministry. So we have the maximum staff.

Each person is assigned with a town and they all report to lord Jonathan who reports to the lady.

Though I am not sure what they all do since I was never asked to participate in it.

But I am sure you would ask lord Jonathan. He will explain to you thoroughly!" she assured the man once again who was having a hard time in controlling his anger.

All he wanted to do with lord Jonathan was to break his nose and a few more bones starting from the ribs.

Last night when he came to know about her name, he spent all night collecting information about her.

His heart broke when he came to know that last night he had only attended her marriage party. And she was married to none other but his brother.

Only he knew how he handled this news. But except being devastated, he was confused.

He was sure that the girl was her mate! He had seen that in her eyes too. How her breath hitched and how her expressions changed when she looked at him. But more than that, she was not accepting it either.

That was when he did what was the most appropriate thing to do... That is to go to the room of Alcastra and force him to give all the information and that was how he landed here.
