Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 435

435 Who Slept With Whom?
I knew it was going to be pretty rough now that Maynard was also coming here. Lazlo hung up the call and turned to us, making brief eye contact with me before turning to Valerie.
“Christina and Maynard are coming over. Wear the coat and everything, babe,” he said to her right in front of me. As if my world has not been shaken up enough already, now he is giving her loving titles.
“Babe? You have no shame left in you?” I argued with him, enraged at him because he gave me such a hard time when he found me with Maynard. He knew he had already been in another relationship for two years, yet he couldn’t accept getting cheated on.
“I don’t have time for this, Enya. I see a serious issue going on, so let’s keep this topic for later,” he grunted, pointing his finger in my face to silence me.
“I came here to tell you about that serious issue, so don’t show me this attitude that you care and I don’t.” I raised my voice, and the finger he was pointing at my face joined his other fingers to form a fist. He stared me dead in the eye before Valerie approached him and pulled his hand down.
“We can talk about this later. We have to get ready for whatever is coming.” She whispered, stealing eyes from me because how can she look me in the eye anymore?
I was getting angrier with every passing minute. I stood in the hallway while Lazlo helped her put on socks and basically all her articles of clothing in front of me.
I wanted to scream until cause an earthquake like I used to do before, but guess what? Nobody cares now that I don’t have the power to lead them to the solution.
After they were ready in their warm clothes, they joined me in the hallway.
“Go back home and stay there until we figure out what is going on,” Lazlo commented, not asking me once why I wasn’t wearing any socks or why I didn’t even have any shoes on.
When I left the mansion, I was in such a hurry that I could only grab a long coat. I was in the booty shots and wore a silk top underneath that coat. I was freezing, and I didn’t even have a wolf to keep me warm, but obviously, he was way past taking care of me.
He had found a new lover, and his entire attention was devoted to her well-being. It sucked to be in this position and not have anywhere else to go.
Soon, the footsteps on the staircase grabbed our attention. Maynard and Christina came into our sight, and an awkward silence took over us once again.
Maynard passed me a quick glance before he followed Lazlo to his office. I wasn’t going to back away. I used to be involved in these matters, so I joined them too.
“The earthquake originated from this area.” Maynard pointed at a map on the projector’s screen. They have come prepared and probably had even discussed many possibilities too.
“I understand the earthquake, but why was the power cut?” Lazlo raised a question, and I automatically clenched my jaw. His voice was irking me.
“What if the earthquake caused some damage to the power lines?” Valerie suggested it, and they nodded in agreement.
“In the whole world?” I scoffed, turning their attention to me. They all stared at me for a moment before avoiding me again.
“I think a tornado or storm is on its way to here,” Lazlo then gave his two cents.
“I agree with you. Maybe some natural disaster-type of sh*t?” Maynard concluded. I was surprised at how dumb they were sounding.
“You guys are pulling stories out of your a*s. These theories make no connection. There was an earthquake, and then the lights turned off as if somebody blew air on a candle, and everything turned dark,” I said, getting irritated with them for not looking at the bigger picture.
“I think you should really give it a rest. I understand you are desperate because we are no longer standing around you, waiting for orders, but it would be better if you let us handle it this time.” Christina was the first one to speak against me. She even rolled her eyes and pouted, staring at me while shaking her head at me in disapproval.
“Christina is right!” As soon as Valerie joined her, something struck me.
“You shut up! You are just an assistant,” I blurted out at her, making her gasp and hug herself like an innocent little puppy.
“Calm down. There is no need to be rude to anyone,” Maynard suggested, not daring to look at my face when taking Valerie’s side.
“Of course, you will take her side. Are you two f*cking her together?” I let out a scoff and commented. The fact that I took her value in Lazlo’s life so lightly was my biggest mistake. The instant Lazlo heard me talk badly about her character, he lost it.
“What the f*ck did you say?” He grabbed the projector and tossed it aside in anger before trying to lunge my way. Maynard had to rush between us and pull him away from me.
“Why are you taking her words to heart? Don’t you know she has a habit of turning attention to herself? She makes everything about herself,” Christina yelled, trying to calm him down.
I was shocked to see how Lazlo was trying to free himself from Maynard’s gasp. To do what exactly was my biggest concern. Was he coming to hit me for her?
“Let him go,” I said, and everybody went silent. Even Lazlo stooped, trying to get out of Maynard’s grasp.
“I want to see what he wants to do so desperately that he is fighting you like anything,” I stated, and the tension in Lazlo’s body came to an end.
“Enya! Can you not do this right now? We are in the middle of a mess, and you are taunting us.” Maynard complained while digging holes in my eyes.
“Why don’t you ask your friend this question?” I said, and a frown appeared on Lazlo’s forehead.
