Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
“Maybe. I don’t know.” She tried to make an excuse. But it was not caused by any allergies. She was blushing so much at how Bryan was trying to get close to her.
“Do you need a check-up?”
“No, no. Thanks for your concern, but I think I will be fine in a few minutes.”
Saying that, Sophia went to her cabin. She rushed to her chair and sat down.
“Was I dreaming? What has happened to Bryan? He was acting like a whole different person!”
Sophia dropped her head on the desk and started to think about Bryan. Was Sara saying that right? Did Bryan also like her?
She covered her mouth in shock. She had never thought Bryan would feel something for her or ever try to be near her.
Hope was growing inside her to be with that man. What if he wanted to accept his fate and stay with his mate?
Sophia made an effort to concentrate on her work. Work caused her to become quite busy.
A tone of receiving a message came in from her phone just as the work hour was drawing to a close. She got a text from the earlier unknown number.
“Why are you running from reality? Don’t you know concealing your feelings is a cowardly thing?”
Sophia was surprised. From whom was she hiding something? Who could be the person who sent her text again?
She dismissed the thought of replying to the person and got to her feet to leave the office.
She grabbed her backpack and walked out of her cabin. She did not want to be the last one returning home tonight. She was fortunate enough to have her mother allow her to spend last night outside. She wanted to thank her mother and hug her for a while. To have a mother like her was surely a blessing for her.
During the time that Sophia was waiting for the elevator, she became aware of Bryan coming in that direction.
Taking a single look at him caused her to blush once again.
‘Calm down, Sophia,’ she reminded herself.
Bryan walked over and stood next to her. The moment she looked at him, she noticed that he was gazing at her.
“What are you waiting for?” he asked her.
Sophia understood he was talking about entering the VIP elevator with him. Despite the fact that he had previously given her permission to use it, she did not utilize it without him. She felt like she was taking advantage of something other employees could not use.
Together with him, Sophia stepped into the elevator. They remained silent as they stood there. Nobody let out anything that could have broken it.
As they exited the elevator and made their way outside, Sophia bowed her head to him and uttered, “Goodbye, Alpha.”
Sophia turned around and headed in the direction of the bus stop.
When she was getting close to the bus stop, a familiar car pulled up right next to her. She turned to the car and stopped her steps.
It was then that Bryan came into her line of sight when the window in the backseat rolled down.
He looked at her and said,
“Get in the car.”
Sophia was taken aback. In an effort to comprehend what he was indicating, she blinked her eyes.
Did he want to talk about some business?
She walked around the car and opened the back door. She sat down next to Bryan and turned her attention to him.
“Yes, Alpha?”
His gaze was directed towards the driver, and he gave the order, “Start the car.”
When Sophia heard him, she frowned in response.
“Where? Alpha, I need to go home. I am unable to put in extra hours today. Would it be possible for me to do the work tomorrow?”
He looked at her. “Tell your address to him,” he replied, pointing at his driver.
As soon as she realized that he was going to drop her off at her house, her eyebrows went up in surprise.
After giving the driver a look, she decided to give him her address. The driver turned the car to head in that direction.
Neither Sophia nor Bryan spoke for the course of the ride. In response to the fact that she could feel Bryan’s stare on her, Sophia bit her bottom lip.
He did not make any kind of statement, and he did not take his gaze off of her. What on earth was going through his mind?
A ringtone could be heard reverberating in the closed car. When Sophia realized that it was her phone, she opened her bag to take out her phone.
When she saw that it was Troy who had called her, she received the call immediately.
“Troy! How are you?”
“Hi, Sophia. I am doing well. I was considering getting together with you today, but I was unable to make it to the upper level because I had too much work to do.””You wanted to meet me? You could have called me. Without a doubt, I would have made my way to your floor to meet you.”
With a chuckle, Troy remarked, “That is very kind of you. I wanted to have a conversation with you about something. Can we get together tomorrow if you are feeling okay?”
“Of course, we can meet during the break time.”
“No, I want to meet after office hours. Can you spare some time?”
After a little pause, Sophia inquired, “Of course. But is everything okay?” In her voice, there was a note of concern that could be heard.
“Don’t worry. Everything is alright. See you tomorrow.”
“Okay, bye. See you tomorrow.”
As time went on, Sophia started to speculate about the reasons why Troy wanted to meet with her. It was not like he just wanted to hang out. It was clearly about something important to him.
She let out a sigh as she prayed that everything was okay with him.
Just as she turned her head, she froze.
Bryan was staring at her.
She gulped at his gaze. It was intense and unreadable.
“You look close to Troy Reid,” he murmured.
She shook her head. “Not so close. But since our mothers are best friends, we became friends.”
“I see.”
When Sophia reflected on how Troy had trusted her despite the fact that everyone else had doubts about her, she smiled.
“He is a highly admirable guy. I had never thought that he would be the one to put his faith in me when everyone else turned me down. He is really helpful and quite kind.”
The lines between Bryan’s brows deepened as he started tapping his finger on his phone and turned his gaze away from her.
“Good. He supported you in your bad time,” he muttered in a cold tone.
The abruptness and icy tone of his voice left Sophia bewildered. Did she say or do something that made him angry?
She tried to think about what she had said to him. But she could not find any fault in her replies.
Suddenly, the idea that Sara had put out came to her mind.
While she was staring at him, she pondered, “Is he beginning to feel jealous?’
As she cocked her head to the side in order to get a better look at his face, a smile flashed across her face.
When he turned his head and caught her gaze, she looked at him with wide eyes. Instantaneously, she retreated and slumped back against the seat she was seated in.
“What?” he asked.
“N-Nothing. I just wanted to see that side of the street, too.”
To make such a ridiculous excuse, Sophia bit her tongue in disbelief.
Bryan stared at her for a while, then averted his gaze from her.
Sophia was feeling bored, so she tried to break the silence.
“By the way, Alpha, why do you leave another house when everyone in your family lives in a pack house? Shouldn’t head Alpha stay at the pack house?”
The driver glanced at the rear mirror with a terrified look in his eyes, which did not go unnoticed by Sophia.
She became anxious when she noticed that Bryan did not respond to her. It was a very personal question. How could she ask that question?
