Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Elsa had gone to chat with the other guests, she seemed like a fish in water as she chatted happily with some truly distinguished people.

As for me, I was on the balcony behind with a glass of champagne in hand - at least I had to enjoy it even if I was not on my mind.

Indeed I was livid, and had been for more than an hour. The reason Elsa comes out of nowhere to me Sophia Carpenter, a young bachelor from a small country town, will become the personal assistant of the richest man in the world.

Wait, I don't have the proper knowledges, let alone any experience with referrals then how I might be qualified for this position.

Honestly, this kind of job requires in-depth knowledge of the business world and a certain maturity, but frankly, has my file been checked? I just turned 18, my baccalaureate is very recent, I don't even know the market changes and business is a foreign word in my dictionary.

How could I hold this position? Unless Elsa put the wrong information in my file. Damn I'm going to be humiliated in front of Greg when he realizes that I'm incompetent... He's going to look at me with contempt...

I felt my heart tremble, even if he didn't recognize me or pretended to, I don't want him to have a bad image of me.

I may be hopeless and stupid but I can't help but feel my heart racing just to see him again.

Damn I loved him more than anything in the world and certainly my heart is still nostalgic for this period. Which means I want to be perfect in his eyes, I don't want him to have a low opinion of me.

I must certainly calm down knowing that he played me but at the same time I want to believe that if he acted as if I did not exist it was because there were so many people and that will not be good to expose his private life.

Obviously, he doesn't want anyone snooping around in his business, no one would want his romantic relationships to be plastered everywhere to sell. In addition, he must have seen my application file on the table and recognized me, which is why he accepted, despite my lack of professional experience, to recruit me instead of a qualified person.

That must be it.

I smiled feeling my heart racing, surely I'm still in love with him, how could it not be? He was the one I dreamed of all this time so I'm sure he must have been through the same thing as me.

I looked through the large glass doors of the balcony before seeing him surrounded by women who did not hide their intentions. They were so seductive it made me want to vomit. I heard voices a little far away, they came from behind the curtain inside the banquet hall and what these people were saying almost broke my heart.

According to these people, Greg Travis obviously no one is blind, he is the most desirable man in Capital City. He's handsome, sexy, charismatic, powerful and a multi-billionaire. It's normal for women to fight to stand by his side, I can see even world famous models who are part of the horde of women huddled around him.

No, what pains me is the fact that these people say he's a womanizer. He does not run after them but does not push them away either. Sometimes he comes home with at least five and has sex with them the same night.

I can't believe it, it's true I don't know him very well, and besides he would have the right, it's not like if he owes me anything especially since I also continued to see Chad and we would have even made love on my birthday if all this had not happened.

I have a crush on Jessy and long for my alpha who I'm sure I'll even give my body to if he asks me. So I don't have any lessons to give Greg, especially since there's nothing left between us. Apart from this distant memory and this nostalgia of this love by the beach.

I feel so lost in my life which is already not easy.

Between Jessy who gives me back everything every time he teases me, my alpha who drives me crazy with both love and tenderness, calms me down when I feel lost and vulnerable, calms me down and reassures me without I've never seen him in human form, and Greg Travis a person from my past who managed to leave an indelible mark on my heart. So no matter how many years it's been since we last met, my heart still yearns for him.

I'm so crazy I have to get my mind straight.

The positive point in this story is that I finally managed to find out his name, but then what should I do?

Before he fires me for incompetence, I should continually be by his side and I don't think I can hide my feelings for him.

I feel so sick here.

What will I do ?

" Miss Sophia Carpenter."

My heart skipped a beat as his voice sent chills through my heart. I put my hand on my chest at the level of my pendant before speaking.

"My Sunshine."

I turned light-eyed as I fell into Greg's impassive face.

He didn't seem touched by my words knowing that's what I called him when we went out together because I didn't know his real name.

But he didn't know and kept ogling me with no warmth in his eyes and my heart broke. I looked down with a rueful smile before bowing.

"Forgive me, I took you for someone else. It's an honor to meet you Mr. Travis…"

Greg felt his heart twist in pain as he clenched his fists. He wanted to pounce on her and kiss her so much he missed that look but he couldn't. It was too soon because if he got together with her now he would want to tag her and bring her into the pack and until he was sure of her safety he couldn't take her there.

He had remained anonymous, his cousin being the one who dealt with the other packs. This was on purpose because once Luna was chosen, it would be hard to hide that he was Greg Travis because the world would know he and Sophia Carpenter were together. And in order not to sully his wife's reputation, he will have to prove that she is not playing a double game with another.

Since his ascension to head Soul Moon, he wore a mask all knowing that the Soul Moon alpha was disfigured as a child under unfortunate circumstances. Greg Travis is the name he chose for himself so he could do business with humans without drawing attention to himself, the name his father gave him and which all lycans know is Trent Grantz.

But that's not the problem here, he really wants to go very far with Sophia and give free rein to his feelings.
