Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 25

Janice POV

In Moonlight Design

When I got discharged from the hospital, I couldn't wait anymore. I did a beautiful makeup look, put on my best dress and came to my office in Moonlight Design.

I heard that this office originally belonged to Lauren's mother, the Luna who was stupid and died young.

Thinking of that, I laughed out loud and made a call, "Secretary, please come in."

The secretary knocked on the door and came in with no expression on her face.

I casually sat on the couch and ordered condescendingly, "Change that painting on the wall and get this desk changed. It's been there for ages and this hideous thing is out of fashion now. Put some roses that I like in the vase..."

I pointed at every corner of the office and ordered the secretary to change every inch of it. By the time I gave this office a makeover, I would definitely send a picture of it to Lauren and showed her how I erased everything about her mother. But the secretary didn't make a move.

"Do what I just said right now. Why are you still standing here?" I snapped, frowning.

However, the secretary put a letter on the table in front of me. Then, a group of people came in together as if they had made a deal and put their resignation letters on my desk.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I raised her voice and questioned them.

The secretary said, "We are leaving Moonlight Jewelry. We were here to work for Luna and Miss Lauren Blanco in the first place, and since the decision maker has changed, there is no point in staying here."

"Did Lauren put you up to this!? You stupid bastards! Where else can you go if you leave here!? I am alpha Manuel's favorite daughter, and if you leave, I will have my father banish you!" I was so riled up that I could no longer keep faking to be sweet and innocent anymore.

The distant secretary said sarcastically, "Miss Janice, the person who really has the right to inherit is Miss Lauren. You don't have the right to banish us at your will. You are not the alpha of the Fullmoon Tribe."

"You..." I was furious and began threatening her, "I'm the future Luna of the Lunarko Tribe and I will not spare you if you dare to offend me! I will order the wolves to tear you apart."

"The Luna of the Lunarko Tribe?" the secretary sneered, "Keep dreaming. Guys, let's go."

"You stop right there! None of you is allowed to go with this woman! Did Lauren threaten you to do this? I can offer you more money." Seeing that they were really leaving. I somehow felt a bit panicky. I grabbed the girl who looked the youngest and started persuading.

However, the girl shook off my hand and said, "I'm not gonna work for a despicable woman like you."

Someone in the crowd ironically said, "Does she really think she's the noble daughter of the Blanco family? She's just as disgusting as her mother."

"How dare she be so smug after stealing the company from someone else."

"A bastard like her has the guts to take possession of Luna's belongings. Shame on her!"

I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted fiercely, "Stop! Stop right there! What makes you think you get to be so rude to me? I'll kill you all! I'll rip your mouths apart!"

But those damn bitches just ignored my words and left.

I had only started my job less than half a day ago, and Moonlight Jewelry had only a few people left, and they were all newbies.

"Bitch! It must be Lauren, that fucking bitch!"

Hot anger was burning in my chest. I saw the painting on the wall and stormed over to smash it.

"Ahhh!" I then slammed everything in the office to pieces.

After a long time, someone came closer briskly.

Realizing who the visitor was, I immediately restrained my temper, holding back my anger, and changed into a pathetic and innocent look. I ran into the arms of the man. "Michael..."

Michael embraced me heartily and said, "I heard everything. All the employees of Moonlight Jewelry resigned together. Did they give you a hard time? Why is this place so... Are you hurt, Janice?"

Michael carefully checked my body for injuries while I took the chance and cried, "I...I'm fine...They're probably Luna's subordinates. They really love Lauren and all do as she says..."

I easily manipulated Michael in the blink of an eye.

"That vicious woman. Isn't our child's death enough for her!? How could she do this to you!" Michael said angrily.

"I'm fine with this. But they even said mean things about my mother. They've taken it too far..." I burst into tears at the right time and added, "Michael, can you help me? I love jewelry design, and I still want to design our wedding rings myself. Plus, this is a wedding gift from my father, and I really can't bear to see it become like this..."

I was best at using just the right amount of tears and attachment to get men to feel sorry for me and blindly agree to my requests. I guessed that was my gift.

Michael instantly kissed me on my forehead and said, "Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I will help you and Moonlight Jewelry get through it, and maybe I can borrow the resources of the Lunarko Tribe for you."

"Then our marriage..." I bowed my head, pretending to be sad, "when they left, they said I stole my sister's fiancé in very unpleasant words. Michael, I've already lost our baby, I can't afford to lose you again." "Don't worry, I've already convinced my mother and my father is about to give in."

Hearing that, I stopped crying and smiled. I stood on tiptoe and kissed Michael, "You're always so nice to me, Michael."

I gave an innocent and tender smile to him, but in my mind, I was thinking, "Lauren, even if you use such evil tricks against me, I'm not afraid of you! I won't let you get away with this! You bitch!" Lauren POV

"Lauren, the personnel are all settled in. We are ready to quickly kick off this season's themed designs," Auntie Claire smiled gently and she was uncontrollably delighted.

"There is no hurry. You guys can take a vacation and have a good rest for a while. You might get some good ideas during the break," I said with a smile.

"They don't even wanna take a rest. They have already started brainstorming over there. It's been a long time since they had such a good time," Claire said with a relieved smile on her face, "you have no idea what they've been through. When they found out Janice was coming, they didn't want to leave Moonlight Jewelry nor were they willing to be led by Janice. They were so worried that they started losing hair."

"But Lauren, how did you find an investor so fast and get such a large sum of money? Do you know the alpha of the Midnight Claws Tribe?" Aunt Claire asked with a worried look on her face.

"Well, we know each other." I nodded.

Aunt Claire was a little stunned, "I heard he was a powerful yet cold-blooded alpha. How do you get to know him... Oh! Is he your mate?"

"Ahem..." I choked in shock at Aunt Claire's words and coughed dozens of times, "no, you are mistaken. He's just my patient."

"Okay then," Aunt Claire said while patting my shoulder, "I heard that he was extremely brutal before, and his temper got even more bizarre after his injury. If he's your mate, then I'll definitely be worried about you..." Hearing Aunt Claire's opinion of Victor, I couldn't help but say, "Aunt Claire, Victor is not what you think he is. He's actually a very gentle and lovely person."

Aunt Claire said in disbelief, "Gentle and lovely?"

I couldn't believe I just said this about Victor in front of her and I hurriedly explained, "No...anyway, he is not as scary as you think he is. But that's not important. Let's just talk about the new company first."

When it came to jewelry design, Aunt Claire stopped dwelling on my odd comment about Victor and started discussing the theme of her new season's jewelry design with me.

And I was unconsciously lost in thought.

Even though I didn't want to admit it, my feelings for Victor were really changing. I couldn't stand hearing people say bad things about him in my face now, and would even defend him.

I did the same thing the last time I was in the hospital. I even felt a little angry when Evelyn misunderstood Victor as a disgusting old man.

I seemed to...

I seemed to care about Victor a lot. Was it love?

Or was it just the effect of that heat?
