Chapter Five: Unteachable

Iris POV.

"Get off."

I gaze at his face for seconds, he frowns, his lips pursed. I got out and slammed the door shut..

Two doormen manage my luggage from the back seat and trunk to the cart. Swear to the moon goddess, they are the most qualified doormen in this world. Efficient and well organized. When the last piece out of the car, Easton starts it immediately like something here makes him sick so much and he can't wait to escape.

Okay, something equals to, me.

I staring at his car turns right at the corner, and give him my middle finger.

"Miss Lukeman." A female voice interrupts my tiny rebellion. I turn around and find a woman in a business suit around 30 years old smiling at me "I'm Cassandra, Mr Andersen's assistant."

"Nice to meet you, Cassandra." Her smile is a little weird like am some alien creature.

She handles my bag to the doorman and gives me a card. "The room is ready, please follow me."

It's a suite with a small guest room on the 22nd floor in a corner at the end of the corridor, "Mr Andersen's urged me to pick a quiet room for you, especially cannot face the street. I hope the room is good for you, Miss Lukeman."

"It's perfect."

"I'm glad to hear that, wish you will enjoy your time here Miss Lukeman."

I laying on the bed after Cassandra left, she must think I'm his boss's lover or something, red roses everywhere, especially on the bed, I'm almost buried in the petals. It's not surprising that she didn’t figure out we are brother and sister, our second names are different, mine is following Olivia, she didn't change her name to Jade's.

Message to Sherry. Done.

Message to Papa. Done.

Check the guidance of induction. Done.

I put my cell away and pinch one petal place on my mouth, the silky touch is the same as the lips of some jerk, soft and cold.

Easton...

I had a lightly sleep disorder, so every time I only pick the quiet room not facing the street. Does he still remember this? Otherwise, why does he instructs his assistant about it?

Stop Iris, you are an unteachable girl. My eyes widen, staring at the ceiling.

Yes, I can't help to recall the old moment, the time Easton treated me as his little treasure.

I was bad at cycling, he taught me. I was not happy that he smoke, he quit it. I like banana pancakes, he cooked many. I was heartbroken that my first boyfriend broke up with me, he beat him.

Even it's not fair that a 10-year-old boy made a 6-year-old eat mud in the park ground.

Yeah, I had a boyfriend when I was in kindergarten.

He even helped me change my diapers when I was a baby. Of course, this is from Aria, but I pictured the scene many times, it's funny but sweet.

Easton's wolf was awakened on his 17 years old birthday, a strong black shining wolf. He was so excited, his eyes were sparkling. The first thing after his shifting was to bring me to the forest under the moon.

It was a night curved on my heart, I sat on his back, wrapping his neck, his fur was soft like a feather and warm like sunshine, and I couldn't hold myself to bury my face in. He run fast, the trees flew by, and the wind blew my hair.

I sledge down when we reached the top of the mountain, looking he howling at the moon. I could feel the deep pleasure from him.

"Easton, will you be my side forever?" A naive girl asked.

He didn't answer, looked at me deeply, his eyes colour changed into dark green at the wolf shape, the moonlight decorated his eyesight which made me drown in his tenderness.

He slowly nodded, came closer, and put his wolf head on my shoulder. I felt I own the world and my world was one person, Easton.

Then everything changed. He left, barely back to the pack house. I called him, messaged him, and tried to mind link him, no response.

Then the nightmare moment happened, then. I understand that he hates me so much because I'm Olivia's daughter.

When he loved me, no one believed. When he hates me, everyone thinks it's reasonable, including me.

The only thing I can't accept is why he pretended he loved me, if he treated me badly from the first beginning, I won't give a piece of shit.

****

The next morning.

Easton's company is not far from the hotel, but when I reach here it's already 10:30 am. The room is indeed a quiet one, I still lost my sleep because all my mind was full of Easton. I have no time to take look carefully at this black giant building, only see the exaggerated symbol words ‘PRISM’ which suppose to be the company's name on the side.

Luckily there is an elevator opens on the first floor, I rush into it and found two people already inside, Easton and a man with golden hair and blue eyes, they are both in suits, typical businessmen. The man nods at me, I smile back and turn back.

I press the button of the 15^th floor calmly and see the the button of 31^st already active.

"Please don't ghost again tonight. I won't do the speech for you this time. " The man speaks to Easton in low voice I can still hear a little bit, it's a warning but his voice is too tender. Easton doesn't answer.

"I'm not joking, this opening party is different." the man still not giving up"You must show up tonight, that's the deal".

15th floor arrives, I run fast to escape from the space hearing the man says to Easton "I need to find Alex about the PR issue, catch you later."

I stand down to find which direction I should go as there is a glass door on both sides without any notice.

"Left side for induction." It's from the man, he also gets off on the 15th "You are Iris right, Easton's sister?"

"You know me?" I'm a little surprised.

"I've seen your photo around 3 or 4 years ago." he steps closer "I'll never forget the smile Easton had on his face when he introduced his little sister."

"He warned me no one should know I'm his sister in this company."

"No worries, he doesn't remember he has introduced you to me before. It was a long time ago, and..." He is silent for a second likes he wants to say something but decides not.

"Great." I don't know how to continue our conversation.

"Oh, I'm Ben. "He is good at reading the situation and changes the topic"Here is the invitation to our gallery opening party tonight. You are new to the city right, see this as your welcome party."

He passes me a silver envelope, I'm not catching it, he throws it into my bag directly" My girlfriend will help you with the dress, she is a designer. She will be here when you are off work."

"But..." I still want to reject the ’opportunity', however, Ben doesn't give me a chance, smiles back, waves at me and then walk fast to the right side.

No wonder he is a partner of Easton. Even though Ben is much more friendly and gentle than Easton, he is still determined when he already made the choice.

The first working day was running fast, I was assigned to the Business Development Department as an intern after the induction.

My mentor is named Joe, a strong type. She didn't say much about my late, only one sentence "If you do your job well, I don't care when you come or go."

I pretty much like her.

Two women show up at my desk when I manage stuffs to my bag and decide to leave. I'm not surprised as Ben said her girlfriend would find me here, but I didn't expect the other one, that blondie who has the perfect body shape.

How could the huge boobs and the slender waist can both exist on the same person, it's not fair.

What’s even more unfair, she had already been such perfect 5 years ago.

I was so jealous of her.

Jealous of her perfection, jealous of she was Easton’s girlfriend.
