His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 72: Love at First Sight

Moana, My eyes widened when I saw Edrick, but at the same time, my body relaxed knowing that he was here to — hopefully — help us. He glanced over at me, but clearly didn’t want anyone to know we were together, and walked up to the desk.

“Is there a problem here?” he asked the receptionist.

“Yes, Mr. Morgan,” she said, gesturing to me, “this woman is a human and she’s trying to be served before werewolves.

I could tell that she knew that she would be in deep trouble if Edrick Morgan himself was here.

With that, he turned on his heel and began to walk toward the examination rooms. Meanwhile, the director dealt with the receptionist and the werewolf couple. I couldn’t make out exactly what was being said to the receptionist, but she seemed as though she was being reprimanded — and rightfully so, in my opinion. Just because it was policy to serve humans after werewolves didn’t mean that it was morally right to treat humans like inferiors.

Still, I followed Edrick, keeping my head down to avoid the strange looks from other patients with Selina trailing behind me. Once we were out of the waiting room, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Thank you,” Selina said, scurrying along to keep up with Edrick. “That receptionist–”

“It’s okay,” Edrick said calmly. “She was only doing what she thought was right… It is policy to serve werewolves first.”
