Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
“Alpha?”
He turned his head to the side and said it in a cold tone.
“Miss Berge, follow me.”
She took a deep breath and then cast a quick glance in Bruce’s direction. “I can’t talk to you right now. If it’s about the group, I’ll see you tomorrow on our campus,” she whispered while walking past Bruce, then rushed her pace to follow Bryan.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to them as soon as they entered the entrance hall together.
Sophia was astonished by their judgmental gazes. They did not look welcoming at all.
Just as they were ready to make their way to the elevator, Bruce’s voice could be heard coming from behind them.
“Brother, I want to talk to you.”
By turning her head, Sophia darted a glimpse in Bruce’s way. She frowned at him, as she thought he would say something to Bryan about her.
Once it was brought to everyone’s attention that their Alpha’s younger brother had come to the company, everyone started exchanging glances with each other. It was very rare for him to come here.
Bryan glared at everyone as his eyes roamed around to look at each and everyone.
The air of dread captured everyone’s hearts as they almost trembled under his gaze.
Alpha Bryan exuded a certain air that they were unable to match or surpass.
“Back to work,” Bryan said to them.
Immediately, everyone turned their heads away from the three people who were their sole attention, and then they returned to their work.
Bryan turned around to face Bruce. When Sophia noticed that the atmosphere between the two brothers had become icy for no apparent reason, she rubbed her palms together in nervousness.
“I’m busy right now,” Bryan replied to Bruce. He was about to turn back to the elevator, but Bruce stepped in his way.
“No, brother. I wanted to talk to you right now.”
Sophia found him stubborn. He once told her how much he admired his big brother. He used to talk about him a lot. But she could not forget how his big brother spoiled him with money and gave him permission to do anything in his pack.
Bryan did not utter a single word as he continued to stare at Bruce. His eyes were dark despite the fact that his face was calm, which indicated that he did not appear to be happy with Bruce’s behavior at the moment.
When Bruce saw him staring at him, he swallowed and cleared his throat.
“B-Brother, it will take only a few minutes, please.”
Sophia was shocked by what she was seeing. She had never witnessed Bruce react so fearfully in front of Bryan. On the other hand, who could maintain their composure in the presence of such a powerful person? Even his father was afraid of him.
“Go to the reception desk and ask about scheduling an appointment. When I have some spare time, I will give you a call.”
The voice of Bryan was piercing. Following the inhalation of a deep breath, Bruce nodded his head. “Okay, brother.”
Sophia, who was standing next to Bryan, caught Bruce’s attention as he looked at her. Before he could say anything to her, Sophia went to the elevator and pressed the button to call it.
Bryan walked past Bruce and entered the elevator with Sophia.
In the presence of silence, Sophia continued to cast her gaze in Bryan’s direction on the elevator mirror. He did not speak to her or even look at her once.
‘Why did Bruce even come here? Bryan must be angry with me again. How can I fix his anger issues?’ She thought while shaking her head.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Bryan made his way straight to his cabin. Sophia, on the other hand, went to make coffee for Bryan.
After making a phone call to the workers of the canteen and instructing them to deliver Bryan’s breakfast to his cabin, she proceeded to the coffee machine.
As she stood in front of the machine, she overheard the conversations that were taking place among the other women, who were the employees of the company.
“How can this young girl turn out to be so clever?”
Sophia paused as she heard it. On this floor, she was younger than others since she was only eighteen. She knew people referred that to her since they were aware that if they took names, it would create problems for them.
Sophia hissed as her finger came into contact with the hot coffee when she heard one of the women’s dirty remarks about her.
“Today she came to the company with Alpha in his own car. All of us are aware of what it entails. She slept with him for money. After all, she was able to secure the position by spreading her legs to him.”
“Sophia! Are you okay?”
Sophia heard Selena’s voice. She put the coffee mug on the counter and turned to her.
“Miss Selena.”
As soon as the women heard her voice and turned around, they were taken aback when they realized that Sophia was there.
“Oh, my God! Miss Sophia, what happened to you?” One of them hurried over to Sophia and gently took her hand.
It was clear to Sophia that she was only acting in order to conceal the nasty thoughts they had, so she yanked her hand away.
“I’m okay, thank you,” Sophia muttered, turning to hold the coffee from the counter.
“Sophia, treat your wound. Your finger is burnt.”
Sophia smiled at Selena, and she tightened her lips. “Thanks for the care, Miss Selena.”
Sometimes, she felt that only Selena was the one who was genuine in this company, and all the other women here were fake.
Before she left, Sophia turned her head to the women who were talking badly about her.
“Instead of gossiping about who has come to the company with whom, I believe that you should all concentrate more on the work that you are doing. If Alpha finds out that you are ruining his reputation by spreading false rumors, you already know how he will react to this information.”
It caused the woman’s eyes to widen. They wanted to apologize to Sophia in fear that she would complain to Bryan about it.
Nevertheless, Sophia did not give them any chance to say sorry. She headed to Bryan’s office.
When she knocked on the door, she heard his voice and entered the cabin.
She gulped when she saw him focusing on his laptop. He appeared to be utterly devastated by his work.
What exactly is he focused on? The meeting is the only thing he has to do today,’ she thought.
With a low pace, she made her way to the desk. She put down the coffee mug in front of him and said it in a lower tone,
“Alpha, your coffee.”
She peaked over at the laptop to get a glimpse of what he was doing. The moment he turned his gaze to her, she remained frozen in her position.
“I-I was just looking.”
He returned his attention to the laptop and continued to type on it. She noticed that he did not touch the coffee mug. In fact, his breakfast was also on the desk. He had not started eating either.
“Alpha, I think you should eat something. It won’t be long before we have to leave for the meeting.”
Bryan looked at her and reminded her in a chilly tone.
“You don’t have to remind me of anything. Simply eat your breakfast and then head back to your cabin so that you can get back to work.”
Her gaze was fixed on him. She was hurt by his words. What was it that caused him to become angry with her once more? She had done nothing wrong today.
“D-Did I do somethi…”
She was interrupted by a knock on the door. The knock caused her to frown because it disturbed her conversation in the middle. The expression on her face was one of obvious annoyance.
“Come in,” Bryan said.
The door was opened, and Bruce entered the cabin. Sophia parted her lips as she saw him enter the room.
‘Didn’t Alpha tell him to wait in the lobby?’ After gathering her thoughts, she turned her attention to Bryan.
“This man has a deep affection for his brother. It was impossible for him to refrain from calling him within fifteen minutes, despite the fact that he had made the decision to make him wait.’
Bruce glanced at Sophia. She turned her gaze away from him and maintained a quiet stance next to Bryan.
“Brother.”
“Sit down.”
Bryan made a motion with his hand toward the chair on the other side. Bruce sat on the chair and said,
“Thanks, brother. I thought you would call me in the last hour.”
“Won’t you wait if I make you wait?”
“Of course.”
