Chapter 77: Chapter 77

I should have thought better before opening my damn mouth. What does it matter to me what Greg can do with other women? I shouldn't give a damn, but I guess it bothered me so much that I couldn't help but ask.

Either way, what's done is done, so I'm waiting impatiently and above all with apprehension for the answer.

Greg sighed deeply before running his hand through his hair.

" She took me by surprise and threw herself on me, but I promise you that nothing more happened. She didn't even manage to brush my lips. Of course, I intend to take drastic and strict measures against her but the most important thing here is that nothing happened between us."

I was back to him while he was talking to me, he seemed sincere and his words honest so without me realizing it, I sketched a small reassuring smile delighted.

Damn, why should I be delighted? Again, that's none of my business.

" Well, I did not ask that for a particular reason, think again. I just wanted you to stop taking me for an idiot. Even if you kissed this girl it's not my problem, you do what you want, you're a big boy."

I wanted to play it cool and act like the one who didn't care but it was just me I was trying to convince apparently.

I sighed, deciding to come back to reality. I had acted disproportionately when I already had enough worries in mind as it is. I must not forget that Jessy is waiting for me and that I must go to meet him. I hope to have the information that I need in my quest for revenge.

Damn, I just got to work, but at the same time, I'm going to act like a bitch and use Greg's feelings for me to my advantage.

I know it's vicious but I can't help it, it's my true nature.

" Well, I came to tell you directly. Look, Greg. I'm not well and since I wasn't here yesterday, I thought I'd come and apologize in person. I know I'm a little overdoing it, especially since I'm just starting and you'll probably need me, finally a more efficient and effective assistant, but I don't feel well. Could I take this day? Just one last time and I promise to do my best tomorrow and then…"

Greg looked at me for a moment before reaching up to caress my cheek but I was quicker to avoid his contact. I saw him clench his hand into a fist before smiling at me. He seemed both happy and envious. As if the fact of not wanting him to touch me reassured him deep down. I still don't understand his character.

" Listen, Sophia... If you feel good then I'm happy. You don't have to force yourself, you know I'm a smart man... I didn't become this business tycoon for nothing."

I raised an eyebrow as Greg acted boastfully in front of me. It made him look cute as I smiled.

" What I mean is that you can rest. I can get by alone today but it's the last time. I won't allow any more absences to be, do you understand?"

" Understood boss. ..Thank you very much, Greg. Alright, I'll go."

Greg nodded as I walked out of his office and I felt like shit.

Lying to him like that makes me sick but I have no choice, I have to know what information Jessy has. Now that I found an excuse to leave the job incognito, I went through the service door at the back of the building and walked to a point where I could catch a taxi. My driver is at the front, I do this race quickly and I will come back in the evening as if nothing had happened so that he can take me home.

I took a taxi while it was transporting me to the meeting place.

Greg was sitting in his office when he got a call from Rayan.

" Yes? Did he wake up? What good news ... Well I'm coming right away."

Greg got reassured, despite the prognosis that Elias would spend several days in a coma, he woke up earlier than expected and now, it was obvious that he would know what Elias discovered.

He took the elevator and walked through the lobby as everyone bowed to greet him. He walked with grace and exited the business as his driver came to park the car in front of him.

Greg was about to enter when he saw the car he had made available to Sophia parked further away and her driver smoking a cigarette leaning against the wall opposite. He frowned, Sophia was still in the office? But it had been more than fifteen minutes since she left and he didn't smell her scent in the buildings or even in the surroundings. What is going on? She said she would go home because she is not feeling well, so how and why is her car still parked in front of the office?

**Where's Sophia?**

The driver jumped at Greg's telepathic discussion and looked at his side bowing in greeting.

** She is in the building. She came to work.**

Greg frowned, which explains the fact that Sophia had left telling him that she didn't feel well leaving her car behind.

Unless you want to go somewhere your driver must not know. But what can Sophia be hiding? Where could she have gone that would make her not want her driver to be informed and by extension her alpha therefore him?

** She had a particular behavior on the way when you took her?**

The man seemed to think about it before hiccuping.

** Well Master, Lady Sophia got a strange call when I was driving her here, she seemed nervous then angry but I didn't follow the chat...**

** I see**

Greg picked up his phone deciding to find out if Sophia was hiding something from him. He doesn't want to doubt her, normally apart from Elsa and Pamela, she only knows Tom and...Jessy.

The first two were occupied, only the latter remains since she didn't have much to deal with Tom. That would explain the call because according to Elsa, this guy seemed a bit too interested in Sophia.

Was it him she went to see? But why? He got wind of some chemistry between them but since Sophia didn't seem to be romantically interested in him, he never really bothered to care.

But there for the first time in a long time in his life, Greg Travis is afraid, he dreads losing Sophia.

" No, she loves me... Both as her alpha and as Greg Travis. She's in love with both of my identities, there's no way she's attracted to this guy. I don't know what they're up to together but it shouldn't be very important. Besides, I don't think it's that bad."

He messaged Sophia as her alpha and immediately she replied.

[ Hello my love I wanted to know how are you. ]

[Cc sweetheart... You worry too much about me... I feel good proof I went to work and I'm even in my office if you want to know]

Greg's blood froze when Sophia had just shamelessly lied to him. What could be the reason? He put his cell phone away deciding not to panic, Sophia must have a good reason right? He must trust her, she loves him and no one else, and the fact that she sees this guy in secret means absolutely nothing.

He wants to believe it, he has to believe it.
