Alpha's Rejected becomes the Lycan's Obsession-Chapter 54: Hire the three of them

Tessy opened the door of her bedroom the next morning, her steps coming to a halt when she set her eyes on a beautiful rose bouquet lying lonely on the floor in front of her door.

Looking around, the hallway was completely empty and silent—no soul lurked around. She picked up the bouquet and brought it to her nose, drawing in a deep breath of the refreshing scent.

As she exhaled and opened her eyes, a smile appeared on her face. Just then, she found a note attached to the bouquet.

"They are not close to being as beautiful as you are, neither do they smell nearly as wonderful as you do," the first line read. She continued reading: "But I hope they can bring a teeny weeny bit of a smile to your face, and help lighten the burden in your heart." This part broadened her smile because it indeed did put a smile on her face.

This was one gesture she had seen being extended to some women around her, but had never happened to her.

She had told herself that it didn’t matter. She had made herself believe that receiving things like this didn’t equate love. She still believed it, but now that she was on the receiving end, it felt so good that she wanted to drop that belief instantly.

Already knowing who it was from, she couldn’t help the smile that settled on her face. But that was before she read the last line:

"From the only husband you’ll ever need in this life and beyond."

Tessy rolled her eyes internally, although her heart fluttered wildly. It felt strange.

With the bouquet still in her hand, she walked to the dining room, her stomach grumbling from lack of food. Her steps paused right at the entrance of the dining room, her brows knitting when she saw three women standing beside Roman.

They had their heads lowered, palms crossed over their lower abdomen even as they stood upright. It seemed as if they were receiving some form of lecture from Trevor, who they all had their attention on at that very moment.

Roman, on the other hand, shifted his attention to her when she made an appearance. He wasn’t eating but he was fully dressed as if he was about to attend a meeting. A bright smile made it to his face, firstly because her mere presence lightened him up all the time, and secondly because she had his gift in her hand and she didn’t look mad. It made him so proud.

"Good morning, my darling wife. Come, baby, come sit beside your king," Roman called out with a light tone, gesturing with his hand towards the seat next to his. Tessy made her way there, the confusion still on her face.

"What’s going on?" Tessy probed, ignoring his comments and the excitement in his voice.

"Interview for the job of serving you and making sure you never do anything stressful again. One of them will land the job," Roman answered, his excitement not watering down one bit. "You can conduct your own interview and pick the best one out of them."

After saying this, he got up from his seat, having received a signal from Trevor that he was running late. He moved towards Tessy’s chair and lowered himself to whisper to her ear: "I have to attend a meeting now. I’ll see you later in the evening. Do you like my gift?"

A small smile appeared on Tessy’s face and she nodded her head to the question. "Thank you. I like it, and it did make me smile just like you wanted," she answered, to his utmost surprise.

Roman felt like he was on cloud nine. "I’m glad you liked it," he said, straightening himself and lifting his shoulders in a show of pride before he walked out of the dining room. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Once he left, Tessy shifted her eyes to the women standing in the dining room with their heads lowered. Although she couldn’t see their faces yet, one person caught her attention. She looked younger than the other two and seemed to be finding it difficult to stay still as her hands twitched every now and then.

"Lift your heads and look at me," she said to them, and they all did as she instructed. "What are your names?" Beginning from her right hand side, she pointed to the first one.

"I am Gina, ma’am." The first lady introduced herself. She looked to be older than the other two and more composed. Her face held no smile. Instead, she does a professional look.

"I’m Ruby, ma’am," the second one—who had caught Tessy’s attention—introduced herself with a smile that could melt any heart. And Tessy’s heart did melt as she returned the smile.

"I am Alexa," the third one introduced herself, only flashing a small polite smile.

Tessy became confused. If she was limited to having only one maid, then Ruby would be the one she would choose, but she wanted to know her options first.

"Must I pick one? Can’t I hire all of them?" Tessy asked, not wanting to favor one over the others. Moreover, there were only men in the house, and she needed a few women there to provide her company and make her feel like she wasn’t the only woman in a sea of men.

"It’s your choice, madam. If you want us to hire the three of them, we will be glad to do that," Trevor, who she had thrown her initial questions to, responded, giving her the go-ahead to do what she wanted.

"Good. Then hire the three of them," Tessy concluded, and Trevor nodded his head in approval.

"All right then, the three of you are hired. Do your best not to forget the rules, because that is the quickest way to leave this house forever," he reminded them, and they all nodded their heads.

"You may leave," he dismissed them.

"Thank you, ma’am," they chorused before moving to exit the dining room.
