The Unexpected Discovery Of Love

It was difficult for Lena to hide her excitement . The more Chamberlain looked at her, the more cautious he felt .

"There"s definitely something wrong with her . " He added .

Carl"s lips twitched, he stared at Chamberlain like he was crazy .

Unconcealed disdain flashed through his eyes, "She"s normal, you"re the abnormal one .

Wait! This is the reason you pulled me out of my office? There really must be something wrong with you . "

"Hey! You can"t talk to your boss like that . " Chamberlain said, feigning anger before explaining, "She"s usually stoic and doesn"t smile much . Most of the time, especially when she"s with me, she has her head lowered, blushing silly . Now, she"s prancing around with so much confidence and a smile plastered on her face . I really don"t want to talk about what happened during the weekend . Do you think someone else replaced her?"

Interest flashed through his eyes, however, he quickly covered it up . He definitely wasn"t concerned . It doesn"t concern him .  

"Anyway, she"s your problem, don"t bother me anymore . "

"What bother? If I don"t come to you, will you even remember to have lunch? I"m such a good friend and boss, you ungrateful shrew!"

As Chamberlain fussed and cussed, Carl strode away not sparing him a glance .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntThen he felt a chill run down his spine, he froze . He knew who was behind him, he was about rushing away when he was grabbed by the arm . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"Hubby, what do you want for lunch?"

"Hubby?!!!" Those words repeated in his head and all he wanted to do was run away . Since when did she start addressing him with such terms of endearment?

Chamberlain missed the days they only spoke when necessary .

Clearing his throat, he replied, "I"m fine with anything . "

"Ok, I"ll make a call for delivery then . "

After she spoke, she did not wait even a second more before going away .

Seeing the way she did things, he had no way to rebuke her, he couldn"t even tell her to stop . This point alone made him feel insecure . Everything was telling him to run away as fast as he could but at the same time, he felt glued to the spot .

…

" . . . just go collect the things from my bas.e.m.e.nt, make sure no one sees you . "

"Yes boss! When will you return to work?"

"Not now, just keep going according to the plan, I"ll join you soon . "

This was the conversation Chamberlain stumbled upon when he went to call Carl for lunch .

Although he did not hear what the person on the line said, he clearly heard everything Carl said .

He stood by the door that was slightly ajar wondering what the call was about .

"Make sure no one sees you…"

" . . . according to the plan . "

"I"ll join you soon…"

He was not sure if it was something private or something to be wary of .

After Carl hung up, Chamberlain waited a few seconds before entering into his office .

"Let"s have lunch," he smiled warmly .

To his surprise, Carl"s expression did not change a bit . He wasn"t sure if it"s because it wasn"t a secret or if Carl did not notice he overheard his conversation .

He decided not to pry .

"Must we have lunch together? Go eat with your wife . "

To think he would have gotten used to eating lunch with them .

"She brought home cooked food for you too, don"t waste her efforts, let"s go . "

Carl had no option but to honour the invite .

…

Over at the King"s base .

The King had been too busy recently he did not have the time to "remind" Carl of his presence .

He had just returned from a meeting concerning the changes within the state .

Through the meeting he was able to confirm his suspicions so he decided he would not let the Stans continue to do as they liked . That was what the elders decided anyway .

Part of the responsibility of ensuring people stayed in their place was on his shoulders . Being the dog of the Council of Elders was part of the price he paid to remain alive .

Yes, the rumours were correct, his father was the only surviving member of the Blanc family . He escaped with the help of his close friend . He enjoyed a peaceful life with his mother before that event that claimed the lives of his parents .

Though he had a little sister, she"s currently missing . After searching for her for years without any result, she"s a.s.sumed dead .

An offer came to him after killing his way through the underworld . As the only surviving member of the Blanc family, become their dog or die .

Obviously he chose to live in order to find his sister even if it meant working for those that ended his line .

As he worked directly under the Council, he had powers that was only below theirs therefore he had more resources than the biggest aristocratic family .

He had put plans in motion to make sure the Stans behaved… or cause their backer to abandon them .

Chamberlain had no idea what was coming for him . In fact, the Stans had no idea what was coming .

They had been too careless . They should have retreated when they found out he noticed their movement .

The King wrapped up a package using a gift wrap, the contents unknown . After which he asked his subordinates to deliver the package to Carl in a way that he couldn"t ignore .

His subordinate did exactly that .
