“Yes,” she replied with a polite smile.
“Here is your phone. You forgot to take it from the room,” she handed her phone.
Sophia realized that she had to contact her mother. She immediately unlocked the phone and saw that there were no missed calls. She was stunned by it. She thought her mother was worried about her.
Did someone call her mother and inform her about her?
“Thank you,” Sophia said to the lady.
“Come here again,” the lady said with a bright grin.
Sophia could not understand the reason behind her grin, but she nodded her head and left Bryan’s house.
She walked past Bryan’s car, which was parked outside the house. The driver glanced at her. She noticed that he was giving her a strange look.
She ignored him and walked down the street. She took a cab and decided to go to her university directly.
On the way, she called her mother.
“Mom?”
“Good morning, my baby.”
Sophia was surprised. Her mother was talking so well to her. What she thought was that she would scold her for last night.
“Good morning.”
“Did you and Sara enjoy your girls’ night?”
Sophia realized that Sara had saved her. “Y-Yes, Mom.”
“Where are you? Aren’t you coming home?”
“No, Mom. I am going to the university directly. I will return at night. I am sorry for last night. I should not hav-“
“It’s okay, my baby. You have to enjoy your life with your friends besides your studies and work. At your age, you are doing so many things. You also have the right to live like a cheerful girl.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
After talking with her mother, Sophia felt relaxed.
When she arrived at the university, everyone was glancing at her.
She tried to understand their gazes. Then she realized that they were looking at her branded clothes and shoes.
Sophia shook her head to discard their gazes and walked to the campus.
She met her friends, and they looked delighted.
“How was last night?” Sara whispered while hugging her when the two friends were alone.
Sophia got the meaning of her question. She broke the hug and blushed. “Nothing happened last night. It was just that I was too drunk. That’s it.”
“What? How can that man have such great control over himself? If it were my mate, he would have…” She paused and turned red as if a memory came to her mind.
Something caught Sophia’s attention. She noticed Sara’s dress shifted a little from her neck, and it was showing a few red marks.
They were hickeys. Sophia fixed Sara’s dress and cleared her throat.
“I understand…”
Sara hit her arm lightly. Both of them laughed together.
“You know my relationship with my mate is not the same as yours,” Sophia said.
Sara shook her head. “Yeah, yeah. We all saw that last night. We saw how he pulled you closer to him to move the other boy away from you. You looked crazy in his love. I can assure you, he feels the same too. I saw the jealousy in his eyes, Sophia.”
Sophia reflected on last night once more. She began to memorize how his hands traced her body when she was dancing. Her heartbeat stopped when she recalled the feeling of his lips brushing against her ear and biting her earlobe.
She felt a shiver around her spine.
“Did he tell you anything about his feelings?” Sara asked excitedly.
“No.”
“Then make him.”
“How?” Sophia asked with confusion.
“Make him more jealous. It will help you without any doubt. Mates are very protective of their mates. He will not like it if you go close to anyone. He will make sure to draw you closer to him.”
“No, no. I can’t take a chance. I don’t even know what he feels about me right now.”
Sara sighed in disappointment. “Will you listen to me for once?”
Sophia gave it some thought. What if Sara was right? What if her and Bryan’s feelings were mutual? Would he tell her about it?
Sophia accepted her idea and replied, “Okay, I will think about it.”
After attending all the classes, Sophia wanted to go to her office. On the other hand, her friends requested that she join them for lunch. As a result, she agreed and joined them for lunch. During their meal, they discussed the presentations that they were going to give very soon.
A notification appeared on Sophia’s phone at that very moment.
She saw a message pop up on the screen of her phone.
“Are you busy?” She read the text.
Sophia could not recognize the number. It was an unknown number. She looked around and found no one looking at her.
“Who are you?” she asked in reply.
“Someone who likes you a lot.”
Sophia stared at her phone. Nolan noticed it and asked her about it. She showed the messages to Sara and Nolan both.
“Call him,” Sara said.
Sara assumed that it was Bryan who messaged Sophia with an unknown number. But she did not say that to Sophia.
Sophia dialed the number, but no one received the call.
She took her leave from her friends and left the university.
When she walked to the bus stop, she got another message from that number.
“Where are you?”
“I won’t tell you. I don’t talk with strangers.” Sophia replied.
“But I am not a stranger to you.”
Sophia scoffed as she thought it was any random guy who texted her to gain her attention. She did not reply again and continued to wait for a bus.
When she reached the company, everyone greeted her like usual. Their eyes landed on her clothes, and they looked amazed.
Sophia felt that branding clothes were influencing people a lot. Some of them even recognized the brand and thought the CEO’s secretary really got a high payment. That was why she could afford these clothes and shoes.
Sophia made a cup of coffee and knocked on Bryan’s office door.
She was feeling nervous. She assumed Bryan would pretend like nothing happened between them last night. Those touches and words meant nothing to him, and he would again behave indifferently toward her.
The moment she heard his voice, she opened the door and entered the office room.
She saw Bryan standing toward the window. He was smoking. His strong back could give anyone the impression that he was a mighty man.
She walked to the desk. The sound of her heels hitting the floor could be heard in the silent room.
She made her way to where his chair was and placed the cup on the desk. She stood behind him, a little far, and spoke out.
“Alpha, your coffee.”
He turned around, and her gaze met his. She averted his gaze and waited for him to say anything in response.
Under his gaze, she was feeling shy. Despite the fact that he could act as if nothing special had occurred, she could not forget his touches.
“Check out all the projects of the River Moon Pack,” he ordered, lifting his hand close to his mouth to breathe in the smoke of the cigarette.
Sophia nodded her head and made her way to the door.
