Chapter 167 - Cold Again

Hazel looked out of the window once again but there was no one that was running behind the carriage as she had expected. she turned her head back and shook her head.

She did not know why she was even expecting him to follow her when she was the one who had told him that she was not going to take him with her.

She shook her head and looked away as she let go of that thought and looked out of the window.

Her face had turned grave and her eyes had turned cold again before reaching the office.

"My lady" Daisy bowed her head with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"O apologise for not being there and did not come with you. If the master would come to know then he would be very furious!" she apologised in a soft tone as she asked hazel to punish him but she did not pay any heed to it.

"Have we received any other news or letters from the department!"  she asked completely disregarding what he said and daisy bit her lips but shook her head.

"No! My lady. I have not received any letter or other work. But the whole office is talking about you! They all think that you have done a wonder that no one had expected.

A few even said that now they knew how talented you are and you must have deserved the post!"  Hazel shook her head at the flick mindedness of the nobles.

She did not care what others thought about it anyway. She was here to get her revenge and she better start planning for that.

"Then, are we done for today. Shall I ask the coachmen to get the carriage ready?" Hazel looked at the door when she heard Daisy!

As if her eyes were searching for someone. She continued to look towards the door for a long time before she shook her head and retracted her gaze.

"In a while, I still have to make a report of the case of today. Till then go and keep an eye on others. There might be someone who would behave strangely after hearing about the accidents of today.

If you would find that person then we would be able to find out the real culprit of the accident!" hazel looked at the girl with knowing eyes,

Since she was a were too, she must have strong senses like her master. If she would help, finding clues would be easy.

Daisy looked at Hazel reluctantly, she did not want to leave the girl alone again but at the same time she knew that she had to follow her orders.

"Alright, but do call me if you need any help, my lady!" The girl looked at Hazel with pleading eyes but she did not pay any heed to her words.

Daisy could only sigh and nod her head as she bowed her head and left from there.

Hazel shook her head and started writing the report giving one last look to the door.

Hazel had just finished writing the report when she heard the knock on the door again,

Her eyes gleamed as she raised her head abruptly and looked towards the door but her eyes turned dim when she found it was not Alex but a girl,

"Yes!"

"My lady, I am appointed as your maid. I am here to serve you a meal and tend to your other needs!" Hazel frowned when she looked at the girl but then lowered her head and started to work on the pages again.

"I already have a maid and I do not need another maid. So, you can leave!" She could not trust anyone to let them come to her office all the time.

What if they are a spy that had been appointed by jonathan. But as the thought crossed her mind, the image of Alex came to her mind and her hands clenched into a tight fist.

She did not know about that man either!

"But my lady, I have been working as the personal maid of the head for a long time. If you will not accept me then I will lose my job.

At least give me a chance, I promise that I will be proven as a very useful person!" the girl pleaded as she tried her best to stay calm and not turn fanatic.

Jonathan had already told him that the girl was a bit fickle minded but she still felt that Hazel was too cold and arrogant.

"Then go and serve anyone else. I did not need your help. Now do not waste my time and leave!" Hazel did not even raise her head or say anything further but the lady felt uneasy.

If Hazel would not let her work then how would she be able to complete the task assigned to her then what would happen of the hefty pay she was offered.

"But my lady!" 

Hazel sighed! Why did they think they could take the decision on her behalf if they continued to persuade her?

She wanted to shout and snap at the girl but before she could open her mouth and say something the door of the room opened again and finally came in the man she was eating for since long,

"Did you not hear that my lady had refused to work with you? Or do you think you have the authority to make a decision instead of her?" he asked, raising a brow that left the girl confused and stunned.

"That.. that is not what i meant. I only..`` Alex raised his hand before she could give an excuse, and the girl bit her lips, she did not know what to say anymore. Was she not looking pitiful enough?

"I know that you need to keep the job for your family. So how about it... You serve me instead of the lady. I need the company of a beautiful girl like you anyway!"
