Tasting All My Mates By Alexis Dee Chapter 396

396-He Got Himself A Sexy Assistant.

“Lazio! I told you, he instigated me.” I answered him quietly. His eyes were

glaring into my soul, making me vulnerable.

“He had seen his father die. What did you expect from him? You were supposed

to use your brain in that situation,” he yelled again, slamming his hands on the

desk once more.

I felt trapped in the cage of his eyes. He seemed to be judging me.

Enter title…

The curse was lifted, and all the spells that ruined their lives vanished too. They

all should have been normal, but the only thing that changed was my condition.

“I have seen him die, too. I stood there watching the person die, while the

person who should have been there to see that died because of me,” I

murmured, pouring my heart out to Lazio. My lips quivered so miserably that for

a moment, I felt bad, like I should have stayed stronger.

“What? Where did you get that from now?” He frowned as he questioned my

statement.

“He said that to me. He claimed that I was the reason Thiago died. Now you see

why I lost my temper with him?” I made a point, speaking in my mouth.

“That’s just bullshit. Enya! I was there when he made a decision to save your life

and give up on his own.” Lazio shook his head when he reminded me of that

horrible night.

“That’s what we know. But Corbin—” I was about to break down when a scoff

from Lazio stole my attention. It was a surprise to see how he rolled his eyes

when watching my eyes fill with tears.

“And now you are going to use that statement to mourn some more. It’s—,” he

sighed, exhausted, “one thing after another with you. It’s as if we all grew up

and moved on, but you are still stuck in the phase of your life where you were

the lead, the centre of attention,” he said in a most tired tone, and instead of

sitting down to finish dinner, he gave up. He walked out of the dining room to

call it a night, but his words were engraved in my memory.

I don’t know why I expected him to understand and comfort me. He was tired of

my everyday complaints.

I couldn’t eat anything after that. I spent another three hours cleaning the

kitchen because, while cooking for me, Lazio had created such a mess of the

kitchen.

After I was finally done with all the chores, I walked upstairs to go to sleep.

Lazio had already been in the bed and fallen asleep. He even took most of the

bed.

I woke up early, like every day, and quickly prepared breakfast and Lazio’s suit

for the day. Except for me, he didn’t like anyone else in the kitchen. I didn’t know

how to cook until two months after he told me to take cooking classes and learn

to take care of everything in the house. I wasn’t particularly interested in the

affairs of the pack. Actually, he didn’t like me poking my nose into pack matters.

He liked to take care of his pack in his own way.

“Breakfast is ready,” I told him when he walked out of the bathroom in a grey

suit.

“You are not ready?” He stopped fixing his tie to look at me with a look of

bewilderment on his face.

“By the time you’re done eating, I’ll be ready,” I told him while fixing the bed.

Our morning routine was always a bit busy. I had to make sure the entire

mansion was clean and also keep a close eye on the omegas. But now that he

had asked me to join the office with him, my work increased.

I wore a black pencil skirt and a black coat for my first day. My curled hair

bounced when I walked downstairs, wearing high heels.

“Ready?” He barely looked my way. I kind of expected him to at least spare me

a glance, but he seemed more intrigued by the toast than by what I was

wearing. After he was done with the breakfast, we walked out of the mansion

and sat in the car together.

“Valerie will show you around and be your guide for the day,” Lazio said,

focusing on his phone while sitting in the passenger seat of his car with me.

“Valerie? Do I know her?” I asked, since he had mentioned his other colleagues

once, but I never heard of her. In my head, I was thinking maybe she was also

newly appointed.

“Oh! I’m afraid not. Valerie Roland is the Ex-Royal Gamma’s daughter and my

personal assistant,” he said, answering my questions but confusing me a little

more with the way he described her.

“She and I used to be in middle school. It was the time when I first joined school

and wasn’t in too much control of your mother’s magic because she had already

died already.” He said, bringing up my mother and making me uncomfortable. I

didn’t want him to feel any sort of pressure whenever he recalled his past. He

had every right to cope the way he wanted to. I just didn’t like how he wouldn’t

talk to me for hours after remembering what my mother did.

Sometimes I felt like he might think I was responsible for everything.

“She is a good friend and a wonderful person. She will take good care of you.”

He then finally put his phone down and stared outside the window. I kept looking

his way and trying to understand where it all went wrong.

I mean, he barely ever noticed me. I have never seen him look at me like a

mate looks at his beloved mate. We were not forced into marking each other.

We had such a beautiful history together.

Once we reached the building, he got out of the car and didn’t even hold the

door for me. I knew I needed to stop constantly complaining about everything in

my head, but I was pretty alone. Nia used to accompany me in those situations

in the past.

“Good morning!” A cheerful voice made me raise my head when following Lazio

in silence to look at the beautiful blonde greeting Lazio.

She had such a remarkable beauty that I felt insecure just by the way Lazio was

looking at her.
