THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 12
“Are you out of your mind?” Carmela shouted at Pedro when he declared about moving out of the family home. At first, she wanted to hire a seductress for her son but her mind changed. She wanted Adrienne to do the job because he liked the woman for her son, Pedro. She could tell that Adrienne has a kind heart, and she would respect her son forever. “It’s part of the changes, Mom.” “Pedro, no! Why are you being like this?” When Pedro saw that his mother was on the verge of crying, he immediately strolled towards her and embraced the most important person in his life. “It’s temporary, Mom. I just need to check something about myself,” he pleaded with her. “Please, mom?” After thorough consideration, Carmela nodded her head and said, “I’m going to miss you. If sending those women away could change your decision, then I will beg Adrienne to continue working with you.” “What do you mean?” Pedro asked when his mother brought up Adrienne’s name. The woman has been a nuisance to his peace

Adrienne wanted to concentrate but the women’s chatters distracted her. “Didn’t I tell you to sort the documents?” She snapped at all of them, and it was during that time when Pedro got out of his office.She thought that he would scold her but he just ignored her as if he didn’t see her at all, and what’s worst, he went to one of the women. Later on, she witnessed Pedro going out with one of the girls. She recalled their not-so-recent conversation that he would need a woman whenever he’s bothered. It shouldn’t bother her but Adrienne couldn’t help but imagine Pedro’s body on top of the pretty woman.What’s wrong with her?Ever since Carmela Lassiter asked her to seduce Pedro, her head was filled with his images. When Pedro went out with one of his future secretaries, she was jealous. Supposedly, she’s the one to accompany him. Of the three women, he chose the most flirt of them all.“If you’re done, you can have your lunch now,” Adrienne informed them because she was not in the mood

Two weeks later, Adrienne stared at the stylish apartment with wooden decorations on the outside. She was positive that the rectangular windows in an asymmetric way would let in plenty of light during the day. Unlike her old place, the house was equipped with a modern kitchen, cozy dining, and two modern bathrooms. The living room was large as if it was designed to entertain a lot of guests. The apartment itself spoke of money especially the furnishings inside her bedroom.Did she regret her decision?She had no idea just yet. It’s her second day at Pedro’s apartment as his mistress. Yes, she agreed to be his mistress. Although there was money involved in her agreement with Mrs. Lassiter, the main reason why she agreed was because of her feelings for Pedro. Once and for all, she wanted to experience to live with a man she has feelings with. She promised Jasmine that she would only give it a try for a few weeks then she would go back home or she’s only trying to fool herself.“How do

Lost in her thoughts, she relished the brief moment of tranquility before the busy day unfolded.Just as she took her first sip, the familiar sound of footsteps echoed through the room, drawing her attention.

Adrienne woke up early, feeling a sense of anticipation for the day ahead. As she sipped her coffee, two of her friends, Cathy and Indi, entered the cafeteria.

We just received a fresh batch from Baguio. Are you here to restock?" Lax asked, his voice friendly and welcoming."Yes, in case my boss asks for coffee. I wouldn't want to disappoint him.

Although Adrienne wanted to go to work, the doctor stopped her. She also realized that she would just be a burden to Pedro. As much as she wanted to be useful to him, she couldn't contribute anything in her current condition.Although, her condition had slightly improved, her fever hadn't gone down. She still felt body aches and dizziness, which caused her to fall asleep."Wake up, girl. No one will kiss you to wake you up. Are you a princess? I won't kiss you either because we're not losers!" said the familiar voice.It was just Cathy.She half-sat to support her back. She wasn't as dizzy anymore. She still felt a bit unwell, but it was more manageable."What time is it, Cathy? Where are the couple?" she asked her friend.Cathy sighed. "Girl, it's already time to go home. Just a few steps more and you'll be doing overtime at the doctor's clinic. Let's go home. And Miko and his annoying wife are no longer here.

-Pedro's POV-If Adrienne were anyone else, Pedro would have been infuriated. He had no tolerance for employees who frequently fell ill or caused delays in their work. Sickness was not to be brought into the office, and he despised employees who appeared paralyzed by their ailments.However, Adrienne was an exception.
