As soon as we arrived at the location, I took a look at the restaurant. With its vibrant lights, the structure appeared to be really stunning. The exterior was decorated with a charming appearance, featuring a small fountain and a variety of plants.
As I entered the restaurant with my friends, I felt a powerful aura coming from inside.
I looked around and understood that many Alphas were there. Since it was a five-star restaurant, only high-class people could come here.
Nolan asked for a table for us when we went to the reception area.
“Would you like to take a cabin?” the receptionist asked.
Nolan glanced at us. Sara and I exchanged a glance. Then we looked around the whole restaurant. We saw that all the tables there were booked since it was the weekend.
I nodded at Sara, and she replied to the receptionist.
“Sure.”
We received a nod from the receptionist, who then called for a waiter. The waiter made a motion with his hand and instructed us to follow him.
When he led us to a particular area, we observed that there were a few private cabins there.
“That’s your cabin,” The waiter opened the door and said to Nolan.
My eyes went to a cabin just as I was going to pass it on my way to ours.
My brows shot up when I saw who was inside the cabin. He was not alone there. There were a few other men around, and it appeared as though he had come here to have a meeting with them.
“Bryan?” I mumbled under my breath.
As if he heard my whisper, he turned his head toward the door.
I immediately moved my gaze away from him and walked to our cabin.
I tried to ignore Bryan’s thoughts in my head. I was perplexed as to why we always crossed paths with each other. I concentrated on my friends and began to engage in conversation with them.
In the middle of discussing our next plans, we each placed an order for our preferred food.
After we had finished our meal, Nolan decided to take the bottle of champagne that had been presented to us as a gift by the restaurant. After shaking the bottle, he removed the cap and opened it.
I felt the liquid shooting across my face and clothes as it spilled from the bottle and overflowed onto the ground.
We all started to laugh. After cleaning my dress, I got to my feet.
“I am coming from the washroom,” I said while chuckling.
One of Nolan’s friends stood up and said,
“I also want to use the washroom. Let’s go together. Both of the washrooms are in the same way.”
I nodded at him, and we left the cabin.
While passing Bryan’s cabin, I noticed the cabin was empty. I felt relieved that he had left.
Nolan’s friend showed me the ladies’ washroom, and then he went to the men’s washroom.
After going to the washroom, I noticed that there was no one else there. My cheeks were damp, so I glanced in the mirror and wiped them off.
I realized that the wipe was exposing the wound that was on my left cheek.
I sighed and leaned down to the sink. I washed my cheek. I thought I would have to apply makeup to my cheek once more in order to conceal the scar.
Just as I straightened up and glanced at myself in the mirror, I let out a loud gasp.
I saw Bryan standing behind me, leaning against the closed door.
“You!”
I turned around to him with wide eyes. He looked at me with a calm face.
“You almost scared me to death,” I said as I placed my hand on my chest.
My heart was beating faster, and my wolf was jumping inside.
The two emotions made me feel strange at the same time. I tried to control my heart and compose myself.
“What are you doing in the ladies’ washroom?”
Instead of responding to me, he moved over to me.
I tried to take a step back, but I found my body pressed against the counter.
“What are you doing here?” he asked as he stood in front of me.
He was very tall. So, in order to look at him, I had to raise my head.
“I came here with my friends, but what’s that to you?”
“And who was that boy?”
I frowned at him when I heard his question. “Which boy?”
“The boy who led you to this washroom.”
It was my assumption that he followed me to this washroom. The boy he was referring to was Nolan’s friend.
“That was my friend.”
He was silent. I could see his eyes looking directly into mine. I could not read them.
I started to feel unease inside me from his profound gaze.
“Why do you not want to go back to my company?” he asked.
I sighed as I realized his reason for following me here. He could not take no as an answer, so he came here to force me to go back.
“Alpha Bryan, I’m requesting you. Please don’t make my life harder again. I’m not after you or your brother. As you can see, I am happy with my life. I’m really enjoying it. So please leave me alone. I am not going back to your company to gain your attention again.”
I said what came to mind at that time. It was not my words but his words, which he told me on the very first day of my job when I went to his cabin to return his suit jacket.
His each and every word had pierced inside my heart, and I never forgot them.
Suddenly, his gaze darkened as his eyes shifted from my eyes to my left cheek.
I lifted my hand to touch my cheek. I turned to the mirror and saw that the wound was clearly visible now.
I turned to him and said,
“I think you should leave the washroom right now.”
I wanted to fix that by applying makeup again, which I could not do in front of him.
I was stunned when he grabbed my hand and pulled it away from my cheek.
“What happened there?” he inquired.
I turned my gaze to him. He was observing my cheek.
I tried to snatch my hand from his hold, but he tightened his grip.
“I asked what happened.”
I could not help but scoff at him. “Don’t you know?”
His gaze returned to my eyes as if he really did not know where the wound came from.
“That day when you behaved so nicely with me, a photo touched my cheek to brush against it,” I said with a mocking laugh. My words were sarcastic enough to make him angry.
As if he was able to remember that day, his expression abruptly changed.
I looked away from him and attempted to walk past him.
However, I forgot that he was still holding my hand.
He turned around and drew me closer to him.
My body collapsed with his. With a horrified expression on my face, I placed my hands on his chest and looked at him.
The closeness was too much for me. My wolf began to react within me at that moment. I shut her close inside me and asked Bryan,
“W-What are you doing?”
