After putting the bouquet to the side, Bryan turned his attention to the box.
“What do you have for me?”
Angelina opened the box. Sophia’s eyes fell on the various ties.
“I have come up with a fresh collection for your upcoming party. How is it?” Angelina asked with excitement.
Brian turned his attention to Sophia and asked, “Which one?”
Sophia turned to him with a stunned look. “Huh?”
“Select one.”
Sophia blinked her eyes a few times. Did he tell her to select? Why?
“Of course. She is your private secretary. She should do everything for you,” Angelia said, turning the box in the direction where Sophia was standing.
Sophia realized Angelina was saying it right. It could be the only reason he asked that.
She went to the box and looked at the ties that were inside. When she saw that all of the ties were black, she could not help but be completely taken aback.
Usually, Bryan did not wear ties most of the time. Perhaps he wore ties only at parties.
She pointed her finger to a tie and said, “This one.”
As Angelia removed the tie from the box, she flashed a grin. “Let me try it on him.”
Letting out that, she was about to walk to Bryan; however, he stopped her by saying,
“I don’t need to try it. I’m okay with whatever she chooses.”
Angelina smirked as if she found his words interesting. She turned her head toward Sophia and mumbled,
“Not bad. What if she herself assists you in giving it a shot?”
Sophia was shocked. She immediately looked at Angelina, who winked at her.
She had no idea why Angelina had made such a statement. In fact, she thought Angelina liked Bryan, which was why she went closer to him.
Angelina handed the tie to her and pushed her lightly toward Bryan. “Please, help this lazy man.”
Sophia glanced at Bryan, whose gaze met hers. She gulped and bent down toward him, avoiding his gaze.
He did not stop her as he stared at her. Just when she touched his collar, Angelina spoke out.
“I think it will look okay on you. You don’t need to try anymore.”
Bryan turned to her and glared at her. She grinned at him and said,
“Oh, yes. I remember something to do right now. See you later,” Angelina said to Bryan as she grabbed her bag hurriedly. It appeared as though she was scared that she had finally offended Alpha Bryan.
Sophia was watching Angelina without moving. She saw her open the door and turn to her.
“Bye, little birdy,” she said, waving her hand at her, then leaving the cabin.
Sophia did not know how to react. She sighed and stood straight to move away from Bryan.
Bryan, on the other hand, grabbed her hand and tugged her toward him.
Her eyes widened as she was on the verge of falling on Bryan.
He looked into her eyes and asked,
“Why are you running away from me?”
She withdrew her gaze from his and moved away from him.
“Since I am your secretary, I have work to do.”
He stood up without leaving her hand. Sophia realized how tall he was when he slowly got up from his chair.
She tried to take a step back, but he pulled her closer to him and said,
“Help me with the tie that you have chosen for me. I want to see how it will look on me.”
A stunned expression appeared on Sophia’s face as she gazed at him. Bryan directed his gaze toward the tie she was holding in her hand. She lowered her head and moved her hand toward his shirt collar.
She was blown away by just looking at his broad shoulder, which caught her attention. She had a difficult time concentrating on what she was doing. She was nearly drawn to him by the scent of his cologne.
Her wolf began to react to her as if she wanted to go close to her mate. While she focused her attention on the tie, Sophia took several deep breaths.
Meanwhile, Bryan continued to stand there without uttering a single word as he released his grip on her hand.
Sophia put the tie around his collar and started to fix it. She was so preoccupied with ensuring that she was doing it perfectly that she failed to notice the man who was staring at her.
Bryan’s gaze wandered all over her face. Her beautiful eyelashes looked captivating when she flickered them. The sweetness of her lips, which he had tasted the night before, gradually came into his line of sight.
It was hard for him to control himself last night. Whenever she was in his presence, his wolf started to act in a way that was completely out of control.
“Done,” Sophia let out with a smile on her face as she examined the tie.
She looked at him to see his reaction but was taken aback when she found him looking at her.
She gulped as she simply gazed into his intriguing eyes. They appeared to be hooked on her, as if they could see her soul.
“A-Alpha, I…”
She was unable to utter a single word before he abruptly turned around and started walking in the direction of the couches.
It was brought to Sophia’s attention that there was a mirror located near the couches, next to the flower vase.
He stood there and looked at himself. She walked toward him and stood behind him. She also glanced at the mirror and saw his reflection, then at his expression.
He held the tie and loosened it a little, then said to her,
“Not bad. You have a good choice.”
“Thank you, Alpha,” she mumbled quietly.
He turned around and returned to his desk. Her eyes were following his every movement without moving.
He grabbed the bouquet of flowers and came back to her. She glanced at it to know why he took that to her.
He handed the bouquet to her and muttered,
“Take it.”
She was surprised as she held it. She looked at him and said,
“It’s your bouquet.”
“I saw you glancing at it a while ago. I don’t like flowers anyway.”
Sophia stared at him for a brief second. Didn’t he say to her in the message that he liked flowers?
Was he saying it so that he could give it to her?
She shook her head and replied,
“I can’t take it.”
She was about to return it to him when he spoke out to stop her. “Why?”
She cleared her throat while looking at the floor, and replied,
“That’s not for me. It’s your bouquet. I can’t take the flowers that some other woman gifted you.”
Her voice was low, but he heard her clearly. She bent to the tea table near the couch and placed the bouquet on the table.
“Thanks for offering, by the way.”
Saying that, she turned to leave the room.
However, she paused when a strong hand wrapped around her waist.
Bryan pulled her to him, and her back pressed against his chest.
When she saw them together in the mirror, she came dangerously close to letting out a gasp. He was wrapping his arms around her waist from behind her, and it was a very intimate gesture indeed.
