登入Freya was surprised to hear him. She glanced at the strong hand that was holding her wrist. She felt an unfamiliar tingling sensation in her skin from his touch.Her fists curled. She frowned at her own reaction. She slowly looked up at the person. He was looking at another woman with a hard look. He behaved like the beauty of the woman didn't move him and the wealth of her father didn't change his mind to reconsider for a moment.Freya couldn't understand the man. He was really different from Logan. She used to think no one could be like Logan, a powerful man who had brains to change things in his way.However, the man beside her was more powerful. His indifferent look was already a sign to others about danger. His stern expression was more intimidating to the people around him."Of course! Why not? She is your personal secretary. She can be here with us," Lia replied with a polite tone.Aleric pushed Freya to sit on a chair at the grand table. She fell on the seat, swallowing hard.
It was two in the afternoon.Freya was frustrated by Aleric's behavior. She did not know when he became so unprofessional. People called him the tycoon of the business world, yet he didn't care about a meeting.On the desk, her phone kept ringing for the last ten minutes. Almost a hundred messages popped up on the screen, blocking one by another."Where are you, Miss Jones?""I have been waiting for one and half hours.""Is he coming or not?""Are you there?"Freya stared at the messages, not knowing what to reply. So she was not picking up the calls either.Selina Vance planned a blind date for Aleric today. So Freya had to lie about the meeting to him. She thought it would be an easy way to make him go on the date.However, Aleric had been busy in his office. He said he would only go when his current work was over. When she asked what Alpha Watson was about, he said he could wait, but not his work."What should I do?" Freya murmured, rubbing her forehead.As she was feeling annoyed
The distance between them was very small. Freya's eyes met his. Her gaze shook when he saw how he was looking at her. She spotted disgust in them.She could be a woman who would shake in fear under his gaze. But she chose to be different. She chose to have a backbone. She would not let anyone else interfere in her already messed up life.She nodded her head in response. “Yes, Alpha. I went to see him. He had been waiting for me for hours,” she replied.She didn't lie. Logan was waiting for her, but it was for his own benefits.Aleric's gaze became more intense. She was bold with her sharp answers.She noticed him glancing at her neck. She lifted her hand and touched the place.Her eyes widened when she realized there was a hickey there. Logan was all over her last night, trying to force her. It was good that she kicked him to move away.She felt her cheeks turn hot in embarrassment. She looked away from Aleric. His gaze was like a thorn digging in her skin.His silence was frustrating
The whole night Freya was in a daze. She was confused by her fate. How come she didn't have any single choice left? Would she really have to marry Logan?The next day,She arrived at the company. She was thirty minutes late.When she walked into Aleric's cabin, he was already inside.Freya's steps halted as soon as she pushed the door open and saw the man standing near the window.She thought he would scold her. She blinked, swallowing her breath. She glanced at the messy desk that she left last night."Good morning, Alpha," she spoke in a low tone.He didn't reply. His eyes were outside. He had one hand in his pocket, smoking with the other.She quickly moved over to the desk and started to arrange the files."I am sorry. I was so exhausted last night that's why I forgot to clean the mess up," she murmured.After setting up all the files, she took it and set it aside like a pillar on the desk. Then she turned to him."Alpha, I am bringing coffee for you."She turned around without wa
After Aleric left, Freya had to work for another hour in the office.When she arrived home, she saw Logan was still there, waiting for her."Where the hell were you?" Logan asked with anger.Freya ignored his remarks and went to sit next to him on the couch. Her parents and Evica were there, watching her quietly."I was working at the office," Freya replied, her voice filled with tiredness.Evica was upset and jealous. She didn't want Logan to get married to her sister. However, her hands were tied. Logan would do what he wanted; he would not listen to anyone else.With anger in her eyes, Evica glared at Freya. "I never thought a personal assistant could work four hours extra for the boss."Evica's words enraged Logan even more. He grabbed Freya's hand and said,"I told you not to work for that man, but you didn't listen to me. Why would my wife work for that guy? You have to cancel that contract after our wedding."Freya yanked her hand away. "I am not your wife. I don't want to marr
Freya couldn't argue with Alpha Aleric. He was her boss, and she had signed the contract like that. She would have to work for him if he called her anytime, whether it was day or night.She pulled a chair and sat across Alpha Aleric. She grabbed a file and started checking on it.Meanwhile,Aleric's eyes were on her all the time.She was quite attentive to her work. Her hair strands moved around her face, bothering her and preventing her from focusing on the file on her hair. She tried to move them from time to time.Whenever she found something, she opened the pen, bit the cap of the pen to hold it between her teeth, and hit the ink with a circle.Her phone rang many times. She didn't receive it, only silenced it from time to time.Hours passed as Freya worked.She placed the third file on the desk with a sigh.She leaned her back against the chair and closed her eyes. Her back was aching.She looked away from the file that she had just put on the table and lifted her gaze to the man
