My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!

If only.. She could have called a person and asked to make his portrait, she would have done that right now.

His face had turned darker than the pot of the kettle and gnashing his teeth.

"You did that knowingly. Didn't you?" he asked as he looked at her with anger filled eyes. If only he could go and snap his neck right now, then he would have done that already.

"Like you?" She raised her brow and enjoyed the look on his face. So, she had finally found a way to attack him, to keep him busy until she found all the proof against him.

"You! Do you think that you have won this game!? No one would believe your words! No one!" she smirked as she looked at his ashen face that he was trying to hide and snorted.

"Then why are you angry about it! You should go and enjoy the attention you will get!"  she shrugged her shoulders as she looked back at the file as if he wasn't there anymore. 

He snarled at her for a few more seconds before he turned and left. Since he knew that he could do nothing about it as everyone had already left, now he had to find a back up plan to get rid of the negative image she had formed of him.

But just as he turned to leave, his eyes met the gaze of a man he had not seen before.

"You are!" Jonathan was not in a mood to have a chat but why did he always find a man around Hazel these days.

He gave a once over to the man standing in front of him and he was sure that he was a higher noble. His eyes were so cold and his face had that intimidating aura that could only belong to one with authority.

He reminded him of Richard, he had that same overbearing aura too.

"My name is Alexander Elberto. I am the new assistant of lady hazel. Who are you?" his cold and indifferent voice whispered as if he did not care much who Jonathan was but only asking for formality.

"I am in incharge of taxation and policy making. My name is Jonathan Scarenhard. I am the only son of the duke Scarenhard!" he replied with a proud voice.

Since Alexander did not take the name of his family that assured Jonathan that he was not a noble. And he had never heard the name Alberto even in the rich class. So he could not be a nouveau riche with powers too. 

But then how did he end up at this post? Even if he was qualified, being the assistant of the head was not an easy feat.

He assessed the man in front of him again. His face had that indifferent look as if he was not at all nervous about his work even when it was his first day.

When he had seen Hazel, even she was looking like she was concerned about the post offered to her.

"If you need any help, I am here to assist you. After all, the working of the head is dependent on you. Even if you are just an assistant, you have a lot of responsibilities!" Although Jonathan was offering him help, he was reminding the man, he was nothing but an assistant with a lot of work.

"You do not need to remind me that you work under me and I can order you anytime. Do not worry, I know how to distribute responsibilities!" Alex had a bored look on his face as Jonathan was still standing on the door of Hazel like a guard. He was a pest that was sticking to them like a fool.

He did not even want to think what he was doing there as it would only motivate him further to beat the pulp out of this man.

"You!" did he just compare him with a mere worker! He was higher in the ranking of nobility. He should be the one to bow his head in front of him.

"You should leave! We have work to do here. Or all the members of the department are tardy and insolent. Huh?" When Jonathan still did not move from his place, Alex nonchalantly placed his hands on the arm of Jonathan and pushed him away.

It was like moving a small baby of a year or two. He did not have to put any pressure and before Jonathan could blink he was already standing far away from the door.

He did not even realized when he was moved. He only felt an immense strength as if his bones would break that instant.

His eyes closed instinctively due to the pain and when the pain subsided. He heard the sound of "thud" and opened his eyes abruptly but only then did he noticed that he was standing on the other side of the room and Alex was nowhere to be seen. 

"That scum!" he gritted his teeth and his hands clenched into a fist as he realized that the man was not easy to deal with. He had good confidence and immense strength.

If he wants to win, there is only one way left. He had to make sure that they both would make a lot of mistakes and would be thrown out of the office.

"My lord, you are here! I was looking for you everywhere!" he heard the sound of his aide that came towards him with hasty steps.

"What is it!?" he was still feeling humiliated with what had happened and was not in a mood to have useless conversation.

"My lord, did you forget! You have to attend the meeting of the case of Ravenshire. Duke had already given you all the reports to go and deal with the matter in the royal court.

Since you are still here, we have just received a summon that if the case was not solved today the responsible person would be dismissed!"
