Chapter 407
Tasting All My Mates
407-The Jealous Hot Girl âI am sorry, but what did you say?â Her words and tone made me look at her with a frown covering my face. She was looking back at me with an attitude.
Instead of answering me, she hunched over and snatched the files out of my hands, and placed them in the corner of the desk. She then walked all around the table and started changing the settings once again.
It took me a minute to comprehend what had just happened, and when I did get a good grip on everything, I breathed heavily.
âWhat are you doing?â I raised my voice, making her stop changing the accessories around and staring at me.
Enter titleâ¦
âDidnât I just fix this?â I asked with a much-raised tone. âHow dare you take it out of my hands and proceed to ruin everything?â I yelled as I deepened my eye contact with her. She looked amazed at the way I was talking to her.
âLazio likes it the way I do it,â she answered back in a shaky tone. I was a Luna of the pack and her bossâ wife. How dare she think she could disrespect me and not face any consequences?
âYou donât tell me how he likes it. I did it this way, and it should have been reminded this way. If he doesnât like it, he will complain. You donât have to tell me what my mate likes and dislikes, you hear me?â I yelled once again, narrowing my eyes at her face. The quivering of her lips made me aware she didnât expect me to raise my voice at her.
Just because I was silent, she thought I lost my tongue too, along with my powers and my wolf. It was just that the whole mistreatment was beginning to sit on my chest. I was slowly getting fed up with my own silence.
âNobody talks to me in this office in this tone,â she said in a little sob, trying to keep her posture straight but failing at the facial expressions.
âThat is why you forgot how to respect others and their decisions,â I retorted at her, making her lower her face even more.
âLazio will complain,â she mumbled, still not giving up. I started to put things back the way I had arranged them while she stood in the corner and kept looking at me.
âIf he says anything, it will be between us. You donât have to worry about it. Now go handle other stuff.â I pointed my hand at the door and demanded her to leave. Before she could even move, Lazio walked in with Maynard and Christina.
I gathered myself after fixing everything and stepped aside. Lazio and Maynard were too busy to notice something that happened here.
Lazio stopped near the desk and narrowed his eyes at the settings. I watched Valerie erect her spine and look at him with hope-covered eyes. The look of confidence on her face was a sign that she knew he would take her side.
I was feeling a bit hesitant now that everybody was here. I didnâ t want to lose in front of them, and especially in front of Valerie.
âOh, wow!â Lazio commented. âI love this setting. It looks very organized this way. Nice work done, Valerie!â Lazio complimented, looking at her.
The little smile that formed on her face disappeared when he liked what I did to his desk. Her face changed colors, and she looked around at everyone, confusing them.
âI did it,â I said, stealing the attention. Lazio turned to me and then stared at the desk with a huge smile on his lips.
âReally?â he sounded almost amazed. âI love this. It increased my area of work too. Wow!â He continued to praise me beyond my expectations, and it ruined Valerieâs mood even more.
âI mean it is not a surprise that Enya decided to do something and it didnât turn out good.,â Maynard commented and Christina uncomfortably shifted to the side. I could feel her pain. In fact, I can relate to her. Lazio had been all over Valerie the past few days and probably even years.
It is never easy to watch your mate praise someone else. As for Valerie, I was happy she got to see it herself.
She was making big claims about Lazio only liking what she does. Well, in her face.
âValerie! What happened to you? You look very down.â Christinaâs attention turned to Valerie, who, from the looks of it, seemed like she was about to cry.
âNothi-ng!â she stammered, lowering her face even more and stealing Lazioâs attention. He was no longer focusing on anything else.
âWhat happened to you?â Lazio asked her with concern in his voice. Valeria raised her face and stared at me, giving an obvious hint to everyone that I was the reason behind her tears.
âI think she is right!â she said, confusing everyone. Even I was surprised that she was doing this. If he had told us that he didnâ t like the setting, I am sure she would have never brought up the argument that took place between us.
But her losing to me hit her ego.
âWhat?â Lazio asked, quickly passing me a glance.
âThat you only like what she does. She didnât want me to touch your stuff or do anything for you,â she commented with a deep stare on my face. The way she said everything was not how the conversation went.
âNo! You told me not to touch his stuff,â I exclaimed, refusing to remain silent and allowing her to lie in my name. Lazio showed me his palm, gesturing for me not to say a word.
âI donât think that is true. You know I have always admired you for your hard work, Valeria!â Lazio approached her, but she stepped back from him. She was giving him a harsh look for liking my arrangement.
âI think now that you have your mate and the Luna of the pack here, there is no need for me.â With that being said, she stepped away from him and stormed out of the office.
