My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!
Chapter 168 - Marking Ceremony
"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!" His smile was enough to make the girl skip a beat.
The girl looked at both of them confused! Should she say yes or no! She did need that job but lord Jonathan had asked her to serve the lady. What if she did not let her stay when he would come to know that she was serving the lord instead?
"You do not need to think much. I work under the lady and now you would work under me, so technically you are still working under lady hazel! Replied the man with a bright smile on his face as if they knew each other since ages!
The girl blinked as the words sunk in. since she was still working under the lady, it should be fine, right?
With that thought, she nodded her head.
"Thank you, my lord!" the girl bowed and left happily that she had finally achieved her goal.
Once left alone, Alex turned to look a glare at the face of hazel,
"Are you furious over anything, my lady?" he asked with an oblivious look on his face as she pursued her lips.
He was right! Why was she feeling angry! It was only normal for him to ask for a maid to serve him. Why was she being so petty? But there was still a constricting feeling she could not explain when she saw him smiling so brightly towards the girl.
"Why would I be furious? I have work to do! Not like others!" she retorted in a cold voice as she looked at the files on her table without passing a second look to him.
"Hmm, then how shall I help you at work, my lady?" With a gentleman's smile he bowed in front of her that she felt guilty.
"For now, follow up with the investigation of the royal court. I want lord Ravenshire to be freed with proper respect as soon as possible." 'I would try to collect more proof against Jonathan!' she added in her heart as she looked at him gravely!
"Hmm, and..? Do you not need help with working here?" he asked as he walked closer and sat on the table on the opposite side of hers with a smile on his face.
"Do we have anything urgent to deal with?" she asked back but he just shrugged his shoulders.
He had no idea how this office works. He was only there because of her. So he would be interested in anything as long as it was related to her.
"Then I guess we need to ask the members here what are the current main projects the duke was working on. Or shall we fix a meeting with him!?" he added when she did not reply and continued to read the file in front of her.
He wanted to peek and notice what she was studying so keenly but the moment he tried to look, she moved the page away.
"Sure, go to his house and ask him to give us a detailed report about all the matters he was handling before leaving.
Ask him to come and transfer the charge properly!" she nodded her head but why did he feel like she was trying to get rid of him.
What was in the papers she saw trying to hide so badly. But he knew that even if he would ask, she would not show them, so he better let go of it.
"Then, I shall be get going!" she nodded and he bowed with a sigh and left.
Hazel raised her head and looked at the retreating figure than the papers in her hands. It was the list of future events that had not happened yet.
Jonathan was at the peak of his career when he had killed her. He was so sure that he would not be caught made her wonder what else he had done.
Since it did not look like it was his first time dealing with that kind of criminal. She remembered their faces vividly and so was their place where they had taken her.
She had to find them and keep an eye on them to know what else they have in common! Only then she would be able to imprison him.
With that thought, she closed her eyes and started drawing the image of the man again.
Alex felt like his wolf was coming to the edge. He did not like how Hazel tried to hide things from him. She had already chosen his brother even when he was sure that she was not his mate and now her suspicious behaviour.
No matter how much he tried to keep his wolf silent, it was beyond his accepting capacity.
He had to know! Instead of walking out as promised he turned and went to daisy.
The girl was having her mean silence when the shadow of Alex hovered over her.
"Beta! Do you need any help?" asked the girl as she raised from her seat as Alex walked in and sat in front of her.
"What do you know about Richard and hazel?" he had thought that he could handle it but now that he noticed how hazel was hiding everything from him. He could not handle it for long.
"They are our alpha and luna! We should respect them and serve them! What else do we need to know!" she asked with a frown. She did not understand why Alex was following their luna.
She was not only the mate of their alpha but her sister in law too! Though he told her that it was because their previous Luna had sent her to keep an eye on Richard, why did she feel there was something amiss!
"Hmm, have you attended their marking ceremony? I think my brother forgot to invite me. Or is it because of the mother?"
The girl looked at both of them confused! Should she say yes or no! She did need that job but lord Jonathan had asked her to serve the lady. What if she did not let her stay when he would come to know that she was serving the lord instead?
"You do not need to think much. I work under the lady and now you would work under me, so technically you are still working under lady hazel! Replied the man with a bright smile on his face as if they knew each other since ages!
