Mated to the Alpha: Sold to the King novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: 0220

Lorelei POV

"A little more to the left," I said, tilting my head as I studied the massive velvet canopy bed frame the workers were carefully maneuvering into place. "No, wait. Actually, maybe a little more to the right. Yeah, right there. Perfect."

I let out a satisfied sigh when the bed finally settled into place, the deep emerald velvet catching the afternoon sunlight streaming through the tall windows.

I’d originally thought I’d just stand around and watch while they worked, but somehow, over two hours had passed with me practically directing the entire operation.

I’d helped decide where everything went, had old furniture removed, shifted a few things around, and changed tiny details that probably wouldn’t have mattered to anyone else until the room finally looked exactly the way I wanted.

Now, my bedroom was easily ninety percent finished.

And honestly?

I loved it.

"I think that’s it for the bedroom," I said, turning toward the interior designer with a tired but genuine smile. "What do you think?"

Margot, the sharp-eyed woman overseeing everything, clasped her hands together as she looked around the room approvingly. "I think it’s coming together beautifully, Lady Lorelei. You have excellent instincts. Most of our clients don’t really know what they want until they see it in front of them, but you’ve known exactly what you wanted since the first sketch."

A warm flush spread across my cheeks at the unexpected compliment.

"Well... thank you," I replied, a little awkwardly as I glanced around again.

The plush velvet curtains framed the tall windows perfectly, the warm cream walls made the room feel softer, and the lamps I’d personally picked out cast a gentle glow across everything. Even the little details I’d been so annoyingly particular about somehow fit together perfectly.

At least, they did to me.

For the first time, I had a space that actually felt like mine.

Not a room I’d been assigned.

Not somewhere I was expected to sleep.

Mine.

"Okay, I think I’ll head out now," I said after another few minutes, just as my stomach let out a quiet growl that immediately reminded me I hadn’t eaten lunch yet.

Margot smiled politely before giving me a small bow. "We’ll handle the final touches from here and make sure everything comes out exactly to your taste."

"I trust you." I smiled back.

With that, I turned and gestured for Isaac to follow me. He immediately fell into step behind me as we walked out of the room, and the moment we stepped through the door, I spotted Paul waiting outside.

"Where are we heading, Miss... I mean, Lady Lorelei?" Paul asked the second I stepped into the corridor.

I chuckled softly at his almost-failed attempt to correct himself before answering. "I’m starving."
