Chapter 30
Krisna was screaming at the top of her lungs at this point. But, she didn’t have any choice once again. She had to obey her evil boss until she would be able to escape. She looked at her appearance in the mirror, and there was nothing charming in her at the moment.
She wanted to at least brush her hair, but Asthrid pulled her hand. “I said we’re going to be late! Let’s go. What are you chickening out for?” She told her then they fled the room in an instant.
3rd Person POV
The two ladies were on their way to the dining hall. Asthrid was all glammed up with her perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect dress, and perfect stilettos. She also smelled like an expensive perfume. But, on the other hand, when you turned your gaze to the person at the back, she would definitely become a laughingstock to everyone. She got her hair all messy, no proper clothes and footwear, and her face still got dirt on it.
While they were walking, Asthrid called out to her once more for her instructions while they would have their dinner. Krisna was trying to comb her hair by brushing it using her hands, but of course, it would not have the same result, lots of knots in her hair kept on coming.
“You still have one more job to do. The night is still young, and you can’t take a rest.” Asthrid stopped in the middle of the long hallway and looked at Krisna very firmly, her eyebrows arched upward, and her right foot kept on stomping the floor while her hands were across her chest. “I want you to just stay behind me all the time, maid. You will have to attend to every command I tell you, and that’s an order. I don’t want to hear any complaints, and don’t you ever, ever embarrass me in front of the Alpha.” She told her, emphasizing each and every word of her statement.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“For all I care, I just wanna lay down and sleep. Tsk.” She thought to herself. Oh, she just couldn’t wait until she was able to say those words one day. But for now, her ego could still endure Asthrid’s behavior, so she had to go on still. Krisna smiled at her from ear to ear, and then she nodded. “Yes, Ms. Olimp. I won’t do anything to embarrass you.” She replied like a really nice lady. Asthrid just smirked, and then they continued walking their way to the hall.
This girl behind Asthrid shouldn’t be allowed to steal the spotlight from her. This was her one in a million chance to finally get along and capture the Alpha’s attention, and she couldn’t let some kind of commoner just butt in. She didn’t belong there, but Asthrid just had to keep her up.
They arrived inside the dining hall, and as expected, Alpha Grant, together with his mother, was already there. When she turned her gaze to look at the other side, her stepmother Lalisa and her father, Alpha Jaster, were also present. It seemed like they were the only ones waiting to start the dinner. They hadn’t started the meal yet, and Asthrid always had this dramatic entrance that caught the attention of the people inside the dining hall. While she was looking too gorgeous and sparkly, Krisna was just behind her like a mere and plain background.
Asthrid picked a seat opposite Grant. She gave Krisna her coat and then eventually greeted Grant. “Good evening, Alpha Grant. How was your day?” She sweetly asked the Alpha as she sat down comfortably.
The Alpha smiled at her, but it was obvious that he was only forced to do it for courteousness. “And good evening to you, too. A lot happened today, I guess.”
The conversation went on and Asthrid was the only one who was trying to revive and give a topic to discuss, but the Alpha had no interest in it at all. Asthrid was beginning to notice it, and it was starting to get in her head. She was being annoyed. The Alpha would only steal a glimpse of the person behind her and would completely ignore Asthrid’s presence.
“Hey, maid, why don’t you start fanning me? It is a bit hot in here.” She commanded Krisna while her eyes were flickering with jealousy. She took the fan right away inside the bag where all of Asthrid’s belongings were placed and started fanning Asthrid slowly. Asthrid was relieved for a moment, and she wanted Krisna to suffer while she was under her control.
The look on their faces was priceless, and even Alpha Jaster was a bit astounded by what she did to Krisna. She looked like a slave, standing behind Krisna like the other servants serving them food. Both of them were guests in the Light Sky Pack, and it was not good for Letizia to see them acting like this. Although Alpha Jaster saw this, he didn’t have the guts to scold his daughter for being too spoiled. Since Krisna had no choice but to follow all of her boss’ petty commands, she would just think that everything would end eventually. This act continued even during their meals, but Letizia felt like it was making their meal awful.
She put down her cutleries then she wiped her mouth with the white cloth resting on her lap. All of the people present in the area were becoming curious why she did that. She looked serious, and there was no hint of happiness on her face anymore. After a few seconds, she cleared her throat and looked at Asthrid firmly. “Can we stop being ridiculous, dear?” She asked in a slightly raised voice. Everyone could sense that she was a bit disappointed and angry at the same time.
