Filed To Story: Mated To Big Brother-in-law
I wondered why it was not near his office. Then I realized that it was because if the coffee maker was established in the middle of the floor, it would be helpful for every employee.
When I reached there, I tried to brew the best coffee I had ever made in my life. With all hope that I had made good coffee, I went back to Bryan’s office.
“What did you make?” Bryan asked as he looked at the cup.
“Did you not like the coffee? Should I add a little more milk?” I asked him.
I said in my head, ‘Did he like more milk in coffee? But I think it’s fine. He hasn’t tasted it yet.’
As I reached out for the cup, he stopped me by grabbing the cup.
My fingers brushed against his. In an instant, I felt electricity jolt inside me. I moved my hand back in shock.
He gazed at me. I tried to ignore his gaze. Did he also feel the same?
It was the mate bond between us that made me feel like that. It was hard for me to work around this man.
“Call Lily and ask her about it.”
His voice was calm, much milder than before.
I realized that I did not take my phone with me from my cabin. I was about to tell him about it, but my eyes froze when they fell on the window glass.
My heart started to beat faster. My office room was clearly visible. I could see everything that was happening there. I felt a little conscious of myself. He could see me all the time. I knew about it, but still, it was kind of awkward.
“If you are done with scanning my office, you can go for your job,” he said, and he started to work again.
I turned to him. I grabbed the cup as he removed his hand from it.
I left his office and went to my cabin. I grabbed my phone and called Lily.
Lily told me that she was a little sick and could not come today. But she apologized that she could not notify me about it. She told me to make espresso for Bryan.
I listened to her very carefully, then returned to the coffeemaker. I made a cup of espresso for Bryan.
‘How can anyone drink this coffee? It looks bitter. A little sugar won’t ruin anything.’ I thought about adding a little more sugar.
I went to Bryan’s office and placed the cup with a bright smile on my face.
He held the cup and sipped the coffee. I was expecting that he would appreciate my coffee. However, he made a disgusting face and threw the cup to the floor.
I flinched when the cup shattered on the floor, making a loud crashing sound. My eyes widened as I stared at the broken coffee cup that spilled on the floor.
My heart trembled with his chilly tone.
“Can’t you do one thing properly?”
I slowly turned my head toward Bryan with a pair of shocked eyes.
Instead of appreciating me for the coffee, he threw it to the floor to humiliate me.
Why?
“I see. You can’t be professional. It’s my office, not your university, where you are passing a cup of coffee to cheer up other students.”
“I-I am s-sorry,” I whispered as tears started scrambling in my eyes. I tried hard not to let a drop of tears fall from my eyes.
“Go and make another cup. This time, I want you to make the exact coffee Lily makes.”
“Y-Yes, Alpha.”
While wiping the corners of my eyes, I left his office. I was unable to take his rude behavior. Why was he doing this to me? I was trying hard at my job, wasn’t I? Did he want to fire me? Was that why he was behaving like that?
I called Lily again and asked where I had gone wrong.
“Why did you add more sugar?” she asked with a disappointed tone.
“But it looked bitter, Miss Lily. So I thoug-“
She cut me off in the middle of my sentence and said,
“He likes bitter coffee. Sometimes, he likes double espresso. It helps him to refresh his mind.”
I made a disgusted face by thinking about how I would feel if I tasted such bitter coffee. I ignored my thoughts and concentrated on her words.
“He told me to make the exact coffee that you always make.”
“Impossible,” Lily murmured.
“Sorry?”
“I mean, it is impossible for you to make coffee like me. It’s about people’s hands, you know. Nevertheless, you can try to make the coffee again. This time, don’t make any mistakes. I don’t want you to lose your job.”
After talking with her, I started to make coffee again. I found Lily’s statements a little weird. She was puffed up that she could make the perfect coffee for Alpha Bryan.
After making another cup of coffee, I started to walk to Bryan’s office. I saw a few women talking about me.
“She is lucky to make coffee for Alpha. But I think she is doing it on purpose.”
I frowned at the woman’s words.
“You are right. Since Miss Lily is not here today, she wants to go to Alpha’s cabin again and again to see him.”
There was no way I would ignore their nonsense. I walked in their direction, which stunned them. It was not like they were whispering so that no one could hear. They were talking so loudly to make me hear that.
“Excuse me?” I said to them.
“Yes?”
“What were you both talking about?”
“Nothing. We were just discussing some people’s inner thoughts.”
I nodded my head at them. “I am going to Alpha’s office. Mind me if I share my thoughts with him about some people, too?”
They were taken aback by my question.
“We are just talking,” another woman said, chuckling awkwardly.
“I hope you all will focus on your work rather than discussing others.”
They gave me an angry look, which I did not give a damn about. I turned my heels in the direction of the CEO’s office.
When I was about to open the door of Bryan’s office, I saw a cleaner exiting the room. I understood that Bryan had called him to clean the spilled coffee off the floor.
I gulped while entering Bryan’s office. As I walked to his desk, I prayed in my mind. I did not want to make him angry again.
I put the cup on the desk, and my hand shook a little in fear of getting scolded again.
When he took a sip from the coffee cup, I started to get nervous. He put the cup back on the desk and looked at me.
I was trying to observe his look to see if he liked the coffee or if he would send me to make coffee again with some new excuse.
The room turned colder as I could not analyze his gaze.
“No matter how much you try, you can’t make it,” he said.
I tightened my fists. It had been more than half an hour since this man made me round the whole floor, and now he was saying I could not make it?
If that were the case, then why did he even order me to make it for him in the first place?
“I-If you knew it, why didn’t you ask anyone else?” I asked him after taking a deep breath.
He leaned back against his chair, his gaze never leaving mine. I felt that the pair of mysterious eyes were always examining me my every expression, my ability to think, and everything. It was like he could see my soul.
“Because here no one is my servant but my employees who have specific jobs. This is my secretary’s duty. Since she isn’t here, it’s your responsibility now.”
I lowered my head and quietly listened to him. I did not want him to get mad at me.
“Go back to your work.”
I exhaled after hearing him. I was about to hold the cup to take it away from the desk, but his voice stopped me.
“Leave it here.”
I was stunned to hear that. Didn’t he say I could never make it? Then why did he want to keep it here?
Anyway, I left his office and headed back to my cabin.
