Amanda Lehan-canto Novels & Stories

“I’m Amanda. I’m up on the 40th floor. Executive Assistant to the VP of Development.” I shook her hand. Her grip was firm and friendly. “I’m Celeste It’s nice to meet you.” “Celeste, that’s a beautiful name,” she said. “So which dungeon are they throwing you into? I mean which department?” I took a deep breath. “Actually, I’ll be working for… for Mr. Harlan as his… umm, personal assistant?” Amanda’s smile froze for a fraction of a second. Her eyes widened just a little. “Oh,” she said. The single word was loaded. “Wow. Okay.”

"Stay still, you can't move yet." What a nice voice. It was the prettiest I had ever heard. "Who are you, and what are you doing here? What am I doing here? Where's Elena?" "Take it easy. First of all, I have exactly no idea who this Elena of a lady is. You've been calling her name even when she woke up the first time. Second, my name is Amanda Hills from the green lake pack. I'm–" there was a sudden pause at her speech. Amanda inwardly told herself not to utter another statement.

“And this must be her.” Ryan smiled. “Celeste, this is Amanda. She’s the pack’s personal shopper and stylist. She’s responsible for making sure our leadership doesn’t embarrass the entire pack with poor clothing choices.” He shot her a dry look. Amanda laughed lightly. “That’s a generous description of my job.” I smiled despite myself. Ryan gestured between us. “Amanda will be taking you shopping today. Not because you have to impress anyone,” he added quickly, his tone firm, “but because you deserve clothes that fit who you are now. Clothes that are yours.”

Amanda, laughing at Scarlett’s nervous look, showed her the coffee cup she held in one hand and said, “I’m not busy at all. Take your time.” “Oh, alright. I'll send these in first!” Amanda put down her cup and took some folders from Scarlett. “Thanks!” Seeing Scarlett and Amanda coming in, Leah gave Scarlett a look of approval, thinking that Scarlett finally unleashed all her charm. After they arranged the folders on the table, Amanda said to Scarlett, “Are you busy now? Could you do me a favor?” “Of course she can!” Leah pushed Scarlett forward and said. “I’ll go down first. Scarlett will stay here to help! See you!”

It was the first time someone complimented me, so I didn't know how to react. The girl chirped again, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Amanda. My mother is Amelinda, the organizer of this charity event. I just turned fifteen years old. I am currently studying while serving in Sir Darian's army. I am very pleased to get to know you." I watched Amanda as she spoke and felt that she did not have a hint of malice toward me. My mood gradually relaxed, and I began to enjoy this lively and lovely girl.

That bloodied scene was exactly what Jake had walked in on. “Wake up, pig! Come on. Father has a gift for you.” Amanda’s cruel chuckles woke Calista the following morning. The younger sister stood outside the pen, smirking as she took in the sight of Calista covered in filth. “What do you want…?” Calista managed, her voice a hollow rasp.
