Chapter 51: Chapter 51

"Sorry Greg, I did not see the time spent. It was a very important call and…"

Elsa stopped when she had just stormed into Greg's office unannounced. She looked at us for a moment pretending to study our expressions and then she frowned.

Indeed, Greg stared at me red-faced while on my side I was lost in thought. I had a feeling of deja vu in me after Greg's kiss and it was not nostalgia for our kisses on the beach, no it was as if I had been kissed that way recently. I looked up at Greg before frowning. I'm getting too many ideas, aren't I? My alpha indeed has hair as black as Greg's and they have about the same size, I would have to see Greg shirtless to be completely sure. But their voices, are quite different although a little similar, they are both extremely sensual.

I blushed vigorously shaking my head, this was not the time to fantasize about these two men. Because indeed it is two men, not one, it would be too weird for my alpha to be...

Greg?

Not impossible.

Even if there are far too many coincidences that I note now. First, I find myself in a city like this where Greg is, we can say, the biggest party and especially the most popular. People volunteer to help me without complaining, one of whose people is even there. One of the presidents of his group offered to be Greg's assistant without experience, and now I find Greg similarities with my alpha.

There are far too many coincidences like that for it to be normal. But even so, I just can't come to that kind of conclusion. If only I could already fully control my wolf nature to detect whether or not Greg is a lycanthrope, and if he is above all my alpha.

Shit, this stuff should be easy to figure out so why do I have to rack my brains like this?

Oh yeah, I'm still a newbie.

I shifted under Elsa's serious gaze and immediately wondered why she hadn't gone mad as usual over my closeness to Greg.

All of this further heightened my suspicions.

No, I can't imagine that kind of thing.

" Hm, am I disturbing you?"

Greg resumed his detached expression before advancing toward Elsa.

" No ... where is Elias? I thought I asked for it to be sent to me today."

Elsa sighed before speaking.

" Hm, there was a problem. That's the reason I've been on the phone for so long."

Greg frowned before I thought I was probably too much here, given their expressions.

" Excuse me, I'll go…"

Where do I go? Well, I don't know, but given how serious they had become, my presence was no longer necessary.

"Good Sophia... Familiarize yourself with the company's environment. My assistant will show you around."

The man appeared as if calling as I walked out of Greg's office. We gave each other one last look, the memories of the kiss coming back to hit me hard as my face turned red.

I fled the exchange and found myself in the hallway with a pounding heart.

" It's this way, Miss Carpenter."

Ah, here's someone who remembers that we're in a workplace unlike the other who thinks we're in his room and...

The more I thought about the kiss, the more my heart raced, making me dizzy. I had to pull myself together, he is my boss, plus I'm in a relationship, and I have to keep my sanity even if it's difficult.

The kiss.

Damn, I'm really ashamed now. How do I tell my alpha that I love him if I'm so easily seduced by my ex? It's repulsive.

" You seem to have adapted to the presence of Mr. Travis."

I looked at the man in front of me not understanding what he meant. Did he just want to chat to lighten the mood or did he need to talk to me? His tone was monotonous and I felt a spark of hostility. Or was it me who was still making films?

No, it's true, the man in question is Greg's assistant and if I'm hired, I think I'm stealing his job.

I felt awfully bad when I was already imagining the fact that he turned against me.

" I... Mr. Greg...I mean Travis is very...Hmm I mean he knows how to be nice to new people."

The huge blunder, not only do I call him by his first name but I say that he is nice. What is this way of talking about his boss?

" Kind?"

"I meant that he is patient...yes very patient."

The man snorted like I just said some bullshit before speaking.

"I imagine that's the image you wanted to develop... It's the first time I've heard that... Mr. Travis, patient, not to mention kind."

I frowned, what's not? What reputation is this guy draining from Greg?

" Hm, so how long have you been his assistant?"

Let's talk about something else.

" Two years, but with your arrival, I was transferred to another company."

it's clear this guy is mad at me and makes it clear to me.
