Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 363

Chapter 21: The Girl Is a Spy

*Theo*

A knock on my office door drew me away from the work that had occupied most of my day. I’d thrown myself into it, trying not to think about the events of the past few weeks.

My assistant, Ciana, had made a full recovery from the curse that had befallen her-or whatever it was that made her lose her senses that night-and since that time, I’d hardly seen her at all.

Which was for the best.

Now, I had to assume this knock on the door was likely her, coming to ask me some silly question. “Come In!”

The door opened just a crack, and a woman stuck her face in.

But it wasn’t Ciana. It was that other girl… Sophia? Was that

her name?

“Pardon me, sir, but… I have some important information I think you need to hear. I don’t want to intrude.”

I blew out a deep sigh. Of course, she wanted to intrude. This girl was very much about attempting to secure a place with the royal family for herself, though I wasn’t exactly sure it was

me she was after….

“What is it?” I asked since she’d already barged her way into my thoughts.

She approached my desk and stood on the other side, her hands folded, her head tipped down. “It’s about your assistant, Your Highness.”

Here we go again. She was going to try to tear Ciana down somehow. “Make it quick.”

“Your Highness, I thought you should know, I just saw her meeting with some man outside in the forest. She was talking to him by this rundown house. It was all very strange.”

I set my pen down and looked into her eyes. The rundown house wasn’t something that Sophia could make up, and that was where the kidnapper Luther had led Ciana. Why would she go there? Who was she talking to?

Sophia gave a little shrug and said like she was just trying to help me out, “I don’t think we should trust her.”

Who was this “we” she was referring to? I wanted nothing to

do with this arrogant woman.

“I think she might be… a spy,” she concluded.

I didn’t want to believe her. She’d been trying to get Ciana in trouble from day one. But somewhere, deep in my gut, I began to wonder what Ciana had been up to lately.

“All right then. I’ll check,” I said, dismissively. “Anything else?”

She opened her mouth as if she might say something else, but when she saw the look on my face, she knew better.

“No, Your Highness.” She bowed again and left.
