Lycan king's substitute breeder novel Chapter 65

Laura

That morning after a refreshing shower, I sat at the window and started to brush my glossy black hair when my phone suddenly rang.

I turned around and saw Isabella approaching with it. "Thanks," I said with a smile as I took the phone from her.

I looked at the caller ID, which showed an unsaved number. Judging by the number, I knew it was Stephen. I let out a deep breath before answering the call.

"Hello, Stephen?" I said.

Let's see what we can do to improve this:

"Guess what?" His excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

I was instantly intrigued. "What is it?" I asked.

"You have to guess first," he said, chuckling.

"You know I'm terrible at guessing games," I said. "Just tell me! I'm dying of curiosity."

"Alright, I'll spill the beans," he said. "I finally found the perfect person."

"The perfect person?" I whispered, my eyes growing wide with disbelief. Then, I let out a sharp gasp. "Are you getting married, Stephen?" I asked.

"Wha— no!" he exclaimed, a little too quickly.

I raised my eyebrows. "What? You're not?"

"I'm not!" he said, then chuckled. "But I'm surprised you went there first."

I frowned. "If you're not getting married, then what are you talking about?"

"Calm down, I'll tell you," he said, chuckling. "Anyway, I found the right and perfect man for the trainer job you wanted for Vivian."

I let out a giggle, a smile spreading across my face. I turned around and saw Isabella, who was looking at me quizzically. I gave her a wink and mouthed, "I'll tell you later."

She raised an eyebrow and mouthed, "You better!"

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, so what's the first step?" he asked.

I pursed my lips and rubbed my chin thoughtfully. "First, we need to set a date for us to meet. Then, I'll do a brief interview with him to see if he's a good fit. If he is, I'll give him the assignment."

"Sounds good," he replied. "Just let me know when you set the date."

"Thanks," I said. "I'll be in touch."

"Bye for now," he said, and I ended the call.

Isabella hurried over to me and sat down. "Tell me! Tell me!" she said, her voice brimming with excitement.

I couldn't help but smile. "As always, Stephen came through! He found the perfect candidate to be Vivian's trainer."

Isabella's smile faltered, replaced by a concerned expression. She looked like she was deep in thought. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"What's the matter?" I asked, placing my hand on her shoulder. "Please, tell me what's on your mind."

"How can you be sure he's the right person for the job?" she asked, a hint of worry in her voice. "Did Stephen tell you that?"
