The CEO Alpha King novel Chapter 8

  Writer's POV

  As she found the mini mansion, Emi left, reminding Serena that she owed her one.

  Emi was weird, because she liked Serena. It wasn't that liking her was wrong. But when you've been hated by almost everyone you have come across, you start to find it weird if someone likes you.

  Emi also made her uncomfortable with the stares she gave she gave Serena. She couldn't quite put a finger on the emotions the look she dissipated and she didn't want to ask and make it more awkward than it was supposed to.

  As Serena made her way through the mini mansion, she saw Grandma Felicia who was talking to two servants. And as she finished, she turned them away tiredly, before smiling when Serena came to view.

  "How was your first day working for the king dear?" She asked, flashing a toothy grin.

  "It was okay ma'am." Serena said, not wanting to go into details of what had happened with the king in his bedroom.

  "Okay dear, you must be hungry. Whenever you are hungry, you can either tell me Isaac. You can even go into the kitchen and make something for yourself if you please. Now go to the dinning, join the others to eat breakfast." Grandma Felicia said and her stomach grumbled at the mention of food.

  She just realized she had been in a hurry to leave and hadn't waited for breakfast.

  "Thanks ma'am." Serena responded, walking off to the dining room. There were four guys only, and Isaac was one of them. She was a little glad that there weren't any girls around, they gave off a different vibe and Serena felt uncomfortable in their presence.

  "Hey darling, you must be done with your duties for now. Come sit beside me." Isaac called, waving his hand at her.

  Shyly, she went to him and took the empty seat at his left. The other guys spared her a glance but said nothing as they returned to their phones and meal.

  As Serena glanced around the kitchen, her stomach rumbled in hunger Isaac laughed. "Someone will come through with your breakfast. Don't worry much, so how was your first day with the king? Or literally in the king's bedroom?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her.

  Serena blushed in embarrassment, the way Isaac had said it made it look like she had done something other than bathe him. And even the other guys chuckled.

  "I. Ugh. Nothing." Serena said, stumbling over her words, fixing her hazel eyes on her laps. She could feel them grinning in amusement.

  "Come on, hope you didn't piss him off? Did you hurt your nose? Why is that tissue stuck in there?" Isaac said, pulling her face upward, as worry clouded his features.

  She pulled out the tissue, earning horrified looks from the guys who were eating. She mumbled s sorry before wrapping it in her hand to throw away later. She was glad the bleeding had stopped, no wonder grandma Felicia hadn't noticed.

  "I can see that you're shy. No need to be shy around me, love." Isaac grinned, leaving her face and she bowed her head once more.

  "Oh...yeah, Serena. On a serious note, you and I are heading out of the castle today for grocery shopping. I'll be taking you with me so prepare yourself after breakfast." Isaac announced making Serena lift her eyes to stare at him in shock.

  Before she could express her gratitude a female servant walked in, keeping a tray of food in front of Serena. She mouthed a thank you at her but the girl walked over to Isaac and he kissed her in the lips.

  As she giggled and left, Serena raised her brows at Isaac. Was he also dating her as well as Betty? She was confused. But Isaac laughed, and said nothing to clear her confusion.

  Digging into her meal, her mind travelled to the events that had happened today. And she quickly downed her food, enjoying the discussion Isaac had with the guys.

  She finally retired to her room minutes after to bathe and get dressed for shopping with Isaac later in the day.

  She found the note with the rules and sat on her bed, reading it.

  Everything she was supposed to do on a daily basis was written here.

  "Wow!" She breathed out after going through the rules.

  Was she really supposed to bathe the king when he asked? She wondered. Getting her emotions in place would have to be the first step in pleasing the king. She couldn't allow a repeat of what happened today. Also she needs to keep her thoughts away from him.

  "Serena baby, I think you should take a bath now. I'll be coming back to pick you." Isaac called from outside her room and she grinned, hoping into the bathroom soon after.

  After scrubbing down her body and cleaning her nose, she went through her dresses and found a blue summer dress with white petals as design. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail checking herself in the mirror before walking out of the room.

  Isaac wasn't waiting outside and she wondered where his room was.

How was he going to know she was ready? She wondered before deciding to wait in the dinning for him.

  On getting there, she met a guy sitting alone. He had sandy brown hair that fell past his shoulders.

  She took a seat far away from him and concentrated her attention on one of the vases that was painted in silver.

  "Are you waiting for Isaac?" The guy spoke for the first time, and Serena turned to him, nodding vigorously.

  "Okay, I'll tell him." He said, before leaving the dining room.

  A few moments later, she felt a presence behind her and she turned to see Isaac walking hand in hand with another female servant. A flirty smile on his face as he glanced at his phone totally ignoring what the female was saying.

  She didn't take her eyes off him, boring holes into his head, he finally looked up smiling at her and tucking his phone away before turning to the girl in his hand.

  "Ok Bella. I'll have to go now sweetie." Isaac planted a kiss on her forehead, but she pulled him back engulfing him in a deep kiss before pulling apart and walking away.

  But not before she glared at Serena, swaying her hips as she left. Serena wondered why she would react that way. Was it because she would be leaving with Isaac to the store? She wasn't sure.

  Isaac sensing her worry, came over to her, extending his right hand to Serena.

  "Don't mind her, let's go." Isaac said but Serena didn't take his hand, instead she stood up and they both started walking to the entrance of the house.

  "Okay. Okay, I understand." Isaac mumbled. But Serena paid him no mind as she started to grow nervous as he pulled open the door.

  Was she really allowed to leave the castle? She made to ask as they walked to a black Jeep waiting outside for them.

  Isaac held the door open for her and she started to chew on her fingernails as she got in. He slammed the door shut, walking all the way to the driver seat and stepping in.

  He glanced at Serena worriedly and said nothing, starting the car, they started to drive out of the castle.

  She noticed the guards once more, and the lavishness of the estate. They drove out, and into the street. She sighed, finally seeing civilization again.

  She didn't realize how much she had missed the wind in her face, the sun burning down against her, or watching people go about their business.

  They finally pulled to a stop in one of the city's largest malls. She blushed, realising that she had been there before but not for shopping reasons,or hanging out either.
