He tilted his head to the side and asked, “Oh, really?”
It seemed as though he took pleasure in her rage. So she gave him a slight nod. “Yes, I am.”
Suddenly, he leaned on her, which caught her off guard.
“Then let me warn you, big girl. Prepare yourself for me. Because you have awakened the beast inside me. Even if you are observing me, I am not always as calm as I am right now.”
Her face flushed red as she tried to process his words. Her heartbeat began to race, which was audible to him clearly.
He gently stroked her red cheeks with his knuckles.
“Relax. I won’t hunt you alive.”
She gulped and looked away from him. She did not know what to say. All she wanted to do was cover her face to avoid his gaze.
In an attempt to avoid being embarrassed, she carefully pushed his chest away and then fled from his cabin. He did not stop her, either.
Sophia patted her cheeks as her pulse ran too fast.
No one had ever talked to her like that. Not even Bruce.
The whole day, she was in her cabin and did not go to Bryan’s office room again. However, she kept smiling alone whenever she glanced at her finger.
It looked less swollen, as if his saliva was a cure. She slowly lifted her hand and kissed her finger lightly while thinking about Bryan.
She covered her face when she realized what she was doing.
“He is making me crazy!” she said to herself.
When it was time to leave the company, she stood outside Bryan’s cabin door.
Bryan opened the door just as she was about to knock on it.
She took a step back and looked away from him. He walked past her and started to walk toward the elevator.
She followed him behind with a flushed face.
When they entered the elevator, she thought Bryan would say something to her. But, surprisingly, he was silent.
He was observing her through the elevator mirror, and she became aware of his gaze. As she turned her head to the opposite side, she got the terrifying sensation that she had lost her mind.
When they came outside the building, Bryan’s driver opened the door for her. She turned to look at Bryan. He motioned for her to get inside.
She got in the car, and Bryan sat next to her. While she was sitting next to him, she tried to calm herself by biting her lips.
She waited for him to say something. But throughout the entire ride, he did not speak a word.
When the driver came to a stop in front of her house, she opened the door in order to exit the car.
At that time, Bryan stopped her by grabbing her hand. She turned her head to look at him.
“Don’t forget about the party tomorrow.”
She nodded at him. “Yes.”
He stared at her for a while, then said,
“I will take you somewhere after the party.”
Sophia could not sleep much last night. Her mind kept going back to the words that Bryan had said. The thought of where Bryan might take her was going through her mind.
She was awake, as she was smiling while looking at the ceiling.
The alarm kept ringing since she had set the time on her phone last night. She turned her head and reached out her hand to get her phone, which was on the nightstand.
She turned off all of the alarms and yawned as she sat up in the bed.
“I couldn’t sleep last night,” she murmured.
She got out of bed and walked to the window.
The weather was cold, and the chilly breeze hugged her body the moment she stood by the window.
She sneezed as a cold wind entered her nostrils suddenly. She rubbed her nose and closed the window glass hurriedly.
She walked to the mirror on the dressing table and looked at herself.
“Thank God I didn’t get to see a pair of dark circles under my eyes. Otherwise, how would I have gone to the party with that face?”
She glanced at the clock. She still had time for university. So she took time to shower and then got ready to go to the university.
When she left her room, she noticed her mother setting up the table for breakfast.
She could not talk to her last night. Therefore, she thought to do that right now.
After she had finished helping her mother, the two of them sat down at the table and began eating breakfast together.
“Mom, I have to tell you something,” Sophia said to her mother.
Her mother gave her a nod to continue.
“Mom, I will come home late tonight. So don’t worry about me and sleep in time, okay?”
“Why? Are you going to Sara’s house today?”
“No, Mom. We have a celebration party tonight. So Alpha said we might have some work after the party.”
“What work?”
Sophia tried to gather her thoughts, as she could not say that they were going out.
“Some office stuff, like signing papers and all. You know a CEO has so much work to do, and as his secretary, I have to stay beside him.”
Her mother thought for some time, then nodded her head in agreement. “If you will be with Alpha, then I don’t have to worry.”
Sophia smiled at her mother when she saw how much she believed in Bryan.
She wondered how she would react if she learned that Bryan was her mate. She assumed her mother would be really happy.
After having breakfast with her mother, Sophia left her house.
When she was heading to the bus stop from her house, she noticed a familiar car was moving toward her.
She stopped walking and looked at the car. The car stopped right beside her, and the driver came out of the car.
Sophia took a quick glimpse at the window of the backseat and tried to peer inside.
The driver stood in front of her and said,
“Alpha is not inside the car.”
Sophia looked away from the window in embarrassment that the driver had caught her.
“I wasn’t thinking that,” she mumbled.
Bryan’s driver then handed her a bag. The bag, which bore the name of a prestigious brand, caught her attention as she looked into it.
“What’s this?” she asked him.
“Alpha sent it to you. He told me to deliver it to your house early in the morning since I wouldn’t be able to locate you later. It’s good to see that I did not have to go to your house and find you here.”
“But what is inside it?”
“I don’t know, Miss. It should be up to you to look into it. I have no right to know that.”
Sophia nodded her head and thanked him. The driver asked her if he would drive her to the university, but she rejected his offer and told him that she could go herself.
When the driver drove off from there, Sophia opened the bag and looked inside it.
She found a stunning silk dress in a crimson color. It looked like a dress of great quality at quite an expensive price.
She noticed a small card inside. She quickly grabbed the car and opened it.
“Wear this for tonight’s party. You don’t have to come to the office today. See you at the party.”
She stared at the beautiful handwriting, which captivated her mind.
A bright smile appeared on her face. She let out a long, deep breath as butterflies began to flit around inside her stomach.
