MAYA
A smile tugged at her lips after I had suggested violence. It seemed like that was what she wanted, like that was what she had been wanting me to say all this while. I didn’t blame her though, I guessed she was already getting frustrated by the fact that we had to work our fingers to the death every single day without finding out anything.
“That sounds good.” She started, but that means that we will have to resort to violence soon enough, that is after you start working at the hospital. We can’t afford to waste more time. Time is not on our side right now and I suggest we hurry things up.” She added.
“Yes, we just have to wait and see what we are going to uncover as soon as that happens. Let’s just keep being who we are right now. Remember not to make yourself noticed by anybody. I’ll do my best to keep on to that, unless inevitable circumstances like the Prince calling me comes up. If that doesn’t happen, I assure you I’ll do my best.” I promised and she nodded satisfactorily.
“So when are you going to start working, tomorrow?” She asked me. I nodded.
“Hopefully, I get to start tomorrow but you have to understand that I’ll have to learn first. I’ll go to treat them in the meantime, until maybe I learn to do it. But we both know I won’t be here for a long time. So, until we are done with the mission, I’ll keep going there. To be honest, these jobs suck!” I said, slapping my forehead with my palms before shaking my head disapprovingly.
This wasn’t good at all, because we suffered every single day. I wondered what it was going to be tomorrow. Emily would surely be watching me now, waiting for me to make the smallest mistake so she could attack me and remind me that I wasn’t supposed to talk to anything or anybody that looked like royalty.
I still remembered the way she spoke to me back then, only if she knew who I was.
“Well, then. But will you be attending work first, or you’re going straight to the Prince very early?” She asked again.
“I’ll go see the Prince later on. I doubt he’ll be awake at that time of the morning, and it will be a very and unusual time to see someone.” I said to her.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
My body was already claiming from the happiness that had engulfed me all day and I felt a lot better now. I couldn’t wait for everything to get into place and begin as soon as possible. We continued to talk late into the night after we both couldn’t sleep and our excitement continued to grow.
I was happy that she was getting more and more comfortable around me, and that she was giving me a glimpse of who she really was. It was no secret that she was still trying to be guarded because of who I was at our Pack, but right now none of that mattered.
I was still grateful for the respect, no doubt. After she went to sleep, I kept thinking. I tried to sleep but it didn’t come. It only took the intervention of counting sheep before I finally found some peace and the thoughts disappeared before my eyelids closed in sleep.
The next day at work was one of the most annoying days I spent at the Pack. I still didn’t know why, but it felt like meeting with the prince had been a very grievous mistake and Emily was doing her best to make sure that I regretted every second of that meeting.
Despite her telling me that she wasn’t angry and was only admonishing me, her behaviour proved her wrong. I knew she was just lying to me. First off, she greeted me with a scowl after I spoke to her as soon as I came into work. I pushed it off, thinking she might just be tired and sleepy from the short night sleep we all used to have.
I thought that was it, but it turned out I was very wrong. After my chores, she walked into the room with a coy smile on her face.
“You’re doing a good job, but it looks like you both have a lot of work to do.” She said, making my heart skip a beat.
Lots of work to do? I asked myself, feeling my fingers hurt so much. I was in a world of hurt and here she was, telling me that we had a lot of work to do. There were just the two of us fulfilling the whole work and the maids who brought them in here didn’t care if we were tired or not.
All they cared about was dropping the clothes and waiting for them to get ironed so they would be taken back to the owners. It wasn’t a surprise why many maids wanted to leave the Pack. It was just so appalling, and I couldn’t help but wonder how hectic it was going to be for Tianna if I finally left and joined the medical personnel instead.
She would see go through a lot of hell, I thought before snapping back to the moment.
“OK.” I nodded, swallowing my frustration as I prepared to tackle whatever it was she was going to do this time. Whatever she was going to do didn’t surprise me, she could do her worst and I still wouldn’t care at all. As long as I was sure I would get what I came here for, I didn’t mind doing what jealous people like her did. She was loathing because the Alpha found me attractive and talked to me that way.
“Of course, I don’t mind having a busy schedule as long as everything is fully taken care of.” I said, just to make her happy, despite knowing that she might take advantage of my words to give me more work. I just hoped not. She flashed me one ghost of a smile before walking out of the room. She seemed to be a kind person at first, but she was a terrible one.
