Chapter 58
“Y-Yes, Ms. Asthrid. I just went out for a bit to get some fresh air… but unfortunately, I ran into an ugly hag along the way.” Krisna said while deliberately whispering the last part of the sentence since she was referring to Mabelle as an ugly hag.
“What did you say?” Asthrid suddenly asked in a curious tone then she walked over in Krisna’s direction.
She shook her head left and right in an instant. “N-Nothing, Ms. Asthrid, I’m not saying anything.” She took it back right away and then she closed her mouth. Just when could she finally talk back to all these people giving a hard time in her life?
Asthrid just nodded her head to agree with her, but she still felt suspicious that the maid was saying something. Even so, she just let it pass this time because she had something great to say to her and she needed to accept. “Oh, yeah, by the way. Do you like it?” Asthrid was referring to the hideous dress that she was holding. She was smiling until her mouth could even rip off, but Krisna was only looking at it like it was some kind of garbage.
It was definitely not something that she wouldn’t like and of course especially Asthrid. Her forehead creased and the look on her face said it all. “So?” Asthrid asked once again when it was taking her a lot of time to answer.
She thought for a while and said, “No, I don’t like it. If you wear that, you would look like a bulldog chewing a wasp.” She frankly told Asthrid with a straight face. Well, she was just concerned about Asthrid wearing that dress, so she had to tell it to her straight or else she would never be able to find her fate or worse, even the Light Sky Pack’s Alpha, Grant would laugh at her. If she didn’t choose right, it was going to be her worst nightmare. The Annual Pack Gathering was just a few hours away, Asthrid brought with her a lot of dresses and why would she pick something that was not appropriate? What Krisna didn’t was the dress came from Mabelle, she gave it to her earlier.
To her surprise, Asthrid laughed and felt too excited which made Krisna look baffled and confused. The dress just received a comment that it was hideous, but why would she still laugh at it? “That’s great, that’s great! Because you’ll be the one wearing this.” She suddenly blurted out.
Krisna couldn’t react for a while, she was stunned until Asthrid’s words came sinking into her mind. “What? What are you saying, Ms. Asthrid? I’m not going to the ball.”
“Hell, you are,” Asthrid replied with a dashing smile on her face. She was determined to make Krisna go to Annual Pack Gathering because they already planned it out, she had to go so they could execute their plans. “And this will be your dress for tonight, aren’t you excited for that, you little maggot?” She told her in sarcasm and laughed evilly.
“No, please, Ms. Asthrid. I don’t belong there, just let me wait for you here and I promise you that I won’t be going anywhere, just don’t make me go to the ball, please.” She pleaded while her hands were put together. She was also determined that she didn’t want to go, but Asthrid was being too pushy about it. Krisna didn’t want to go because she didn’t have any intention to in the first place. In addition to that, she didn’t want to run into Grant again when they had already talked about forgetting what was happening between them. That was more than enough reason to decline Asthrid this time around.
Asthrid stared at Krisna’s pleading eyes for a few seconds then she finally smiled. “No, we are going… you are going. Do you dare to disobey me, little maggot?” This time, she was serious, her voice was low and Krisna felt threatened. Not because of Asthrid, but because of the possible outcomes later on. If she disobeyed her, she might really be imprisoned and she wouldn’t be able to run away. Her entire plan would be crushed and there was no freedom for her for the rest of her life after.
She didn’t have any choice again but to agree with Asthrid since there was no point in arguing with her at all. If she had thought about it already, there was no one who could change her mind even if it was her father, Alpha Jaster. Unless it was something even more exciting.
“Come on, don’t be distressed, maid. Just come over there and help me get ready. I don’t want to hear any complaints and fix that ugly face of yours. I don’t like it.” She said with an irritated tone and then she went to her vanity desk to start preparing for the Annual Pack Gathering. Finally, the time has come and it was the night that she would definitely make the Alpha fall in love with her. Krisna was forced to walk over in her direction with a long face. She wasn’t expecting this, she thought finally she could have an alone time and rest, but Asthrid really wouldn’t stop until she could score once again. Just when she just told Mabelle that they would never see her at the ball. A facepalm indeed. Asthrid was really a troublesome lady.
Asthrid had long hair, so it would take quite some time to curl, so Krisna had to start right away. “I want a big wave of curls then tie my hair with the best hairstyle you can imagine.” She commanded her while her smile remained. Finally, she succeeded in making Krisna go to the Annual Pack Gathering; they could now execute their plan in embarrassing her in front of a big crowd.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
The Annual Pack Gathering was something that every woman was waiting for. It was the most romantic night for them because that was where they could get a chance to finally find their mate. It was an important event, but Asthrid wanted to ruin it for Krisna.
Krisna started helping her boss to prepare for the Annual Pack Gathering, and just like what she suggested, big curls were done for her hair. For the finishing touch, Krisna sprayed some hairspray to make the curls last until the ball ended. Asthrid excitedly looked at her reflection in the mirror and was starting to like how she looked. “Wow, look at that. You’re so gorgeous, girl. Rawr.” She told herself as if she was in love with herself. She could now imagine how beautiful she was when she would fit her dress. Sometimes… Well, most of the time, Asthrid was really a narcissist and Krisna was wondering as to where she could have inherited that?
