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

"If we will not present the reports in the court in an hour. We have to bear heavy consequences." Hazel frowned when she heard him. 

"Why are you asking for the files from me? Should it not be given by the person who has made it?" Hazel furrowed her brows yet she started looking into the files that were on the table.

"My lady, it is not about the person but the post. Head of the department should be the one to submit it.`` There was a hint of impatience in the voice of the man but it only increased the annoyance of Hazel who had realized that Jonathan was again trying to pick on her.

"What is the case about?" she asked, trying to force her memory. In her past life she had spent most of her time studying. 

She was even tired of knowing about her surroundings. So, maybe she had an idea about it.

"It is the case of the viscount Ravenshire. He had been accused of manipulation of accounts to not pay the tax and even pleaded for the grants. 

The head of the department had made a detailed report that had to be submitted by today or the claim would be canceled and we would have to bear the punishment. 

You have to leave with the report soon, my lady. His highness would be waiting in the royal court." explained the man in a generous tone as if he was very kind and worried about her.

"Hmmm, then the file must have been made already! Where is the file?" asked hazel as she completed checking all the files. It was not there!

"Of course, my lady. But I do not have any idea where it is! I am here to inform you since you have joined recently!" not even once had he raised his voice as he continued to tell her things though she knew it was all a trap.

"Alright, then I should leave or I will be late." the man blinked listening to the reply of the girl. He was expecting her to be flustered and panic. But she stood up with such confidence as if he knew what she was talking about.

"Yes! That is right! You should leave!" he nodded his head but confusion was evident in his eyes as he observed her face to check if she was acting.

Even if she was acting, the truth would be out in a few minutes when they would reach there. So what was even the use of it? 

With a frown he looked at the woman but she did not flinch.

"You! Did you not hear him? Or did you not know that an assistant would follow his or her master everywhere?" he raised a brow and Alex who was still staring at the new man turned to look at her.

"Oh!" was all he said as he stood up to leave with her.

"Is there anything else?" she asked as the man still did not leave but continued to stare at her as if she had gone crazy.

The assistant blinked but then shook her head. 

"No! My lady. I apologize!" with that he turned and left.

Hazel nodded and followed the man out as Alex followed her.

"We will take that carriage, thank you!" Hazel pointed at the carriage and the man nodded and arranged the carriage for them.

"Why did you agree to the meeting when you could have told them that you are appointed only today and you are not responsible for the work that had been assigned before you!" asked Alex with confused eyes.

Even if he was not attached with filing work, he knew that was how these things work.

"Hmm, that is what they wanted. Then they would have manipulated it and drained my image. 

But if we are still able to prove it, then would we not prove our capability and get more recognition!?" she asked in a proud voice while he scratched his chin as if thinking deep about it!

"Ha! Why am I even sharing all this with you? You just have to stand there and accompany me, nothing else!" she replied as she looked at him with disdain. 

What did he even know about her condition!

"But my lady, you do not know anything about the incident. How would you even win?" there was a hint of worry in her voice that made her feel warm.

"Why? Are you worried about me now?" she raised a brow with a chuckle but he nodded seriously.

"Why do you even have a doubt about it? Of course, I am worried about you!" a shade of red fell on her face when she heard him.

Hazel looked away and cleared her throat, 

"I have plans for that. Pass me a blank file!" He looked at her with a worried face. He wanted to help her but even he did not have any idea on this damn case.

"My lady, do you trust me?" His voice had a hint of hesitation but Hazel did not know why she felt her insides clenched.

"Hmmm?"

"I want to leave but I promise that I will be back before you reach the royal court. Do you trust me for that!" he asked with his eyes full of hopes.

Her eyes fell on his dark blonde hair that was swaying with air and his golden eyes that were glowing like the sun had set in them. His face did not look like strangers at all. It felt like she known him for centuries and Before hazel could even think rationally, she had already nodded her head

"Thank you, i would be back soon!" he raised his hand to touch her cheeks to assure her. Though she was behaving normally but he knew how the matter could be blown up, then she would suffer a lot of insults, yet she was standing too brave. Now he could see why his brother had chosen her as his mate. But when the thought crossed his mind, he took her hands away.

"Please wait for me!"
