She didn’t want me to see this.
I saw her enter the front door of her trailer, which didn’t have a lock on it at all, and I decided that it needed to be changed as soon as possible. Anyone could enter the trailer and cause her harm. In front of the trailer was an older woman with white hair shaped into a bun and smoking. It must be a relative of hers.
“Let’s go, Jeff,” I said. “I have quite the project for our staff at home.”
Chapter Five
BREANNA
Aloud gasp jolted me awake.
My eyes shot open, and I sat up quickly with my head spinning. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I looked around, annoyed as hell, and saw that the front door was open and Aunt Julie was standing in the doorway.
“What’s wrong?” I asked in a panicked breath, rushing up behind her.
She turned to me, and I saw a large purple box open on the floor of the porch.
“Someone gave us all this food,” she said excitedly, pulling out cans of beans and packages of pasta. Looking around outside in my pajamas, I saw that all our neighbors had similar gifts, and kids were squealing over new shoes.
“Oh wow,” I said, surprised. It was unexpected since no one really cared about us living on this side of town. I was also touched but determined I would make a lot of money so we could move out of here.
Aunt Julie brought the box into the house, and I looked at the time.
“I’m going to work now,” said Aunt Julie, kissing mycheek. “I’m so proud of you, sweetheart. You’re going to do such an amazing job.”
“Thanks,” I said, stretching. “I’m a little nervous, but I think I can handle it. I’ve cleaned houses before.”
She left the trailer, excitedly muttering under her breath about all the food recipes she’d make with the ingredients we just received.
I had thirty minutes to get ready before the limo would show up at the house that I lied about. And I needed time to walk to the house down the street to wait for my ride. I told my aunt last night about the unique job opportunity, but I said nothing about the fact that the men were alpha wolves because that would cause her to move states right away.
I showered, brushed my teeth, and threw on a pair of black leggings with a plain red shirt.
It was my only outfit that didn’t have a bunch of holes and bleach on them. Grabbing my ratty backpack, which had loose pieces of thread everywhere, I stuffed it with candy from the donation box and a water bottle.
I chewed on a cracker as I quickly brushed my hair down over my shoulders until it shone. Slinging my backpack over my shoulder, I was ready to go.
Opening my front door, I noticed the limo I had ridden in yesterday sitting on the side of the road in front of our trailer.Oh my god, how did they know I lived here?The alpha must have freaking followed me. But I also remembered I had put in my exact address during the application process.
As I approached the limo, the driver hopped out and went around the side to open the door for me.
“Thank you, sir,” I said respectfully as I went inside.
He looked startled at being addressed. “Of course, call me Jeff.”
“Okay, Jeff,” I said, smiling, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed as he closed the door. Maybe he wasn’t as mean as Ithought yesterday. He got into the driver’s seat and started the limo.
“Air conditioner to your liking, ma’am?” he asked me.
Wow, I could get used to this life. It was definitely a different experience than taking the bus.
“Yes, all good,” I said, settling back and adjusting my backpack between my feet to grab my very used book from it.
When the limocame to a complete stop, I looked up from my book, realizing I was at Zaff’s house now. During the ride, I was reading, but I also daydreamed about all the money I’d make today at my new job.
Stepping out of the limo, I wondered if I should even call it a house. It was more of a mansion than anything I’ve ever seen in my life. As I walked to the mansion, the doorman gave me a slight bow and opened the door for me.
“Good morning, madam,” he said in a stiff polite tone.
