I waved at Oregon, whose back was turned to me, and watched him until he was out of sight.
When he was finally gone, I let out a deep sigh and turned around, then ran to the patient housekeeper who wore an inviting smile on her face.
"Forgive me for keeping you waiting," I said and bowed.
"Not to worry, I understand. Let's go now, I will take you to your room," she said smoothly, and I nodded.
She led me away, and we both entered the elevator, which took us to a particular floor.
"This is the seventh floor," she said, pointing at the beautiful, well-lit, and long corridor with many room doors.
"Wow, okay! The seventh floor," I giggled, feeling overwhelmed.
She smiled at me as we walked side by side. Eventually, she stopped at a door and typed in a few numbers on the keypad lock. After turning the knob, it opened, and I smiled.
"The code is triple four," she said.
"Okay," I said, looking around the medium-sized room. "It's beautiful," I smiled.
"I'm glad you like it. My girls did an excellent job arranging it," she smiled.
"I can see that," I nodded.
"You can feel at home. I will get some girls to bring something for you to eat and drink."
"Thank you, and please make it light," I whispered, and she laughed.
"Sure," she said and turned to leave.
"I'm Vivian Miller, by the way. What is your name, ma'am?" I asked, and she turned to face me, wearing a brighter and warmer smile.
"I'm Madam Mabel," she said.
"Okay, Madam Mabel. It's nice to meet you," I told her.
"Likewise, it's also nice to meet you. If you don't mind, I need to leave now."
"Sure, go on," I said, and she walked away.
I inhaled deeply and ran to the bed just by the wall. I jumped on it, and it bounced. I felt so happy at that moment. Remembering Alpha Oregon brought enough joy to my heart.
Soon, the naughty mind I had started imagining him in the gym, lifting weights and doing loads of exercise, with his muscles and biceps springing out, plus his triceps.
My mouth began to water, and I found myself drooling all over. "You naughty girl! What are you thinking about?" I laughed and slightly slapped my lips.
I heard a knock, and I sat upright immediately. "Come in," I said.
Two ladies walked in, one holding a tray with a covered plate of food, while the other lady held a smaller tray with a bottle of water and a cup.
They both walked to the table by the side of the room and placed it on top.
"Your food is ready," they both said.
"Thank you so much," I smiled and stood up, then walked slowly to the table. I sat down on one of the chairs and looked up at the girls.
"Thank you…" I said again.
"You're welcome," they both replied.
"Uh… You can leave now. I want to eat," I smiled.
"Enjoy," one of them said, and both of them left the room. I heaved a sigh and gently raised the lid. When I saw the tantalizing food, I smiled.
"Yummy," I complimented and grabbed the spoon.
Just as I was about to eat, the door opened harshly. I looked there and saw a furious-looking Laura. The spoon I was holding onto fell to the floor.
I knew I was the last person she expected to see in the penthouse, and I found myself scared.
"Queen Laura," I whispered and stood up, my legs shaking uncontrollably.
Laura walked up to me and slammed the door, making a loud noise.
"You, what are you doing here?" she snapped, pointing one of her long, false fingers at my face.
"I already spoke to your son. He brought me here," I quickly replied, mustering courage. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Her eyes widened. "What? My son?" she asked.
"Yes, your son. Lycan King Oregon," I replied, and she grabbed my dress.
"What do you mean? What did you tell him that would make him bring you back here? You lied to him. Why would he do that? That's very unlike him. You are lying to me!" she barked.
"No!" I shook my head. "I swear, I'm saying nothing but the truth. I never told him much. I just begged him to give me one more chance. At first, he was reluctant. I don't even know the reason why he decided to bring me back here."
"Liar! You must be happy now, huh?" she snarled, glaring at me.
I only gulped heavily and said nothing.
"What did you tell him apart from that?" she asked.
"Huh…" I muttered.
"Don't act oblivious, you stupid girl! You are lying to me! What did you tell him apart from your nonsensical plea, like how I gave you some money and asked you to leave?" she said, and my heart skipped a beat.
I said nothing, I just looked at her like a little child who had lost her way.
"You don't want to answer now? How about I take you out from here quietly? Nobody will even know your whereabouts, including Oregon. Nobody will know I already killed you and had your body chopped," she said strongly, clenching her jaw.
I felt shivers run down my spine. "I couldn't leave that out, but I swear, I didn't say that to tattle about you."
"Oh, I see. So, you told him I threatened you," she smiled wickedly.
"I swear, I didn't do anything much. Please forgive me," I cried.
"I will make sure I punish you for that," she said and pulled my arm.
Just as we turned to the door, which was now open, we met Oregon and Stephen standing there.
Judging from the look on his face, Oregon looked bitter and was boiling with anger.
"Ore… Oregon," Laura stuttered and dropped my arm.
"Laura!" Oregon thundered.
