‘’Oh my gosh! Tessa you look so beautiful,’’ Sophie said after pulling Tessa into a hug and was now staring at her with amazement.Tessa on the other hand, could not believe her eyes. She was definitely shocked, unexpectedly meeting a friend but she wondered how Sophie could recognize or even remember her. Especially when she was putting on a hoodie. After all, they weren't exactly close friends back in school.‘’Sophie!’’ Tessa finally replied with the same amount of surprise filled enthusiasm.Sophie had a round face with full lips which was carefully colored with her red lipstick. Her eyelashes has always been long, but at that moment they seemed longer and darker, giving her the pretty gothic girl look with her red knee length gown.‘’Tessa, I am so happy to see you. I just spotted you down the hall. I kept wondering if you were the one, but after a much closer look. I could not control myself from calling out your name," Sophie said all through, with a smile on her face.Tessa wa
Tessa got dressed in a gray hoodie and stepped out of her home for a stroll. She had been indoors earlier eating some of the junk food purchased for her by Sophie. She didn't do much and didn't even dare to take a sip of the wine. She had contacted a few well-known nutritionists online the other day so she could be well informed about the pregnancy. And the dos and don'ts.She hadn't been outside her home since the day before and needed to get fresh air. She also wanted to exercise a little so her muscles would not become stiff.As expected, her neighborhood was quiet. The leaves on the trees aligned by the side of the road blew lightly from time to time, adding to its serene atmosphere. ‘’Hey pretty,’’ a guy dressed in a pair of royal-blue shorts jogged past her. He paused in front of her, with a smile on his face.He had Italian brown hair that brushed against his forehead as a result of the slight wind that blew. And coupled with that, he had quite an attractive face too.‘’Good
Bryce took another sip of coffee from the mug in his hand while staring at the screen of his desktop. The breeze blew by and the numerous papers that were scattered on his desk began to fly to the floor but he paid them no heed. Bryce had never been an organized man, which was why he seriously needed a good secretary. Some weeks ago, he fired his last secretary, Maria and so were a couple of others before her.Maria was a young and sexy lady who applied to work as his secretary some days after his last secretary had tried to seduce him. He was frustrated at the time as he was quite unable to understand what was with all those women.All of them believed they could seduce him. He had heard a few of them discuss how he was a cold man. Yet, they all hoped they could get into his mind and make him fall for them. After all, the Romano family was prestigious and influential in the city. Being married to him meant they would be entitled to boundless wealth.But Bruce only felt that they wer
Flashback continues~Bryce raced his mind to the last day he was at his office, he wondered whether his assistant had forgotten to lock his office door.He was certain that his door was locked before he left. He had even witnessed when his assistant locked the door after he had walked out of the office with his suitcase. He peeped into his office and was shocked at his disorganized his desk was.He never left his desk untidy before every weekend. The cleaner would have sorted out everything and cleaned it up Friday evening.He opened the door fully and he immediately noticed the shape of wet footsteps imprinted on the tiles.Someone had been in his office.Suddenly, he heard the sound of an object crashing and turned to his left where the sound seemed to come from. There was nothing, but his shelf also with scattered books.Bryce walked stealthily towards the shelf while roaming his eyes around his office. Just when he bent low to pick up the book that had fallen, he felt the sudden r
‘’So tell me, how did you feel when you met a high school friend after a long time.’’ Bryce rested his arm on the desk and palmed his face, taking a relaxing position and ready to listen to his talkative younger sister.‘’You should know her. You were in senior year when she joined the school.’’ Sophie asked, squinting her eyes in the process.‘’You know that I was a reserved boy back in school. I barely even knew you.’’ He laughed. And, it was meant to be a joke.A knock was heard on Bryce's door, just before Sophie was about to make her next statement.‘’Come in,’’ Bryce ordered, still looking at his sister expecting her to speak.‘’Mr. Bryce, a letter just came in from the ministry of transport. It has to do with the business proposal you shared earlier this month with the minister."’ Said the lady who should be in her early 30s and dressed in a corporate black gown with her pixie-styled hair. She walked briskly and dropped the file on the office desk just a few feet away from wher
Bryce's phone which was lying on the couch beside him, let out a beeping sound at that moment, disrupting their discussion.He picked it up and checked what it was. It was a text message. His gaze skimmed over it swiftly and as he did so, there was a change in his expression. But, it was soon masked by his usual indifference and calmness.‘’I’ll read this after we are done.’’ Bryce put off his phone and dropped it on his desk. Then, he clasped his palms on the table.‘’I don’t get to see my loving sister every day, you know.’’ He added, causing her to giggle.‘’I’ll be coming more frequently from today."Bryce immediately raised a brow. "Nevermind. Don't. If you come here frequently, it means you have a hidden motive."Sophie immediately leaked a laugh and she shook her head. "Always be sincere, brother."‘’When you met Tessa at the shopping mall, how did you feel? Did you feel happy or sad since you said she knowingly or unknowingly did things to you?" Bryce asked, as he leaned onto
Bryce walked back to his desk, trying to sort his documents into his suitcase and shelf so he could get back to work. He would have called for the help of the cleaner, but it was either he felt too lazy to send for her. Or he just wanted to be alone in his office.Bryce's phone makes a sound, but this time not with a beep but with a ringtone. NF's Outro blared through the phone's speaker filling the office. Who could be calling him during his work hours of the day?He picked up his phone and was glad at who got his phone ringing, It was his friend, Jack.Bryce had been expecting his call for some days.Jack had surely called back to give him feedback on the search that had been performed on their rival pack.Some days ago, Bryce got back from a stressful day at work. The day was one of his worse with the entire workload he had on his desk and little assistance as his secretary had just been fired. Although, preparation for a new one was being made.He needed to cool off his mind. So,
‘’Good afternoon Alpha,’’ Jones answered the moment the call rang once. He spoke in a hoarse voice as though he had just suffered from a series of severe coughs.‘’Why do you sound so rough?’’ Bryce asked, not being able to ignore the fact that his friend was sounding bad.‘It's nothing, serious sir. Just a little cold that got into me.’’‘’You know that you have easily got cold. Why did you go out in the cold weather?" Bryce reprimanded? It was evident from the frown on his face that he was worried.Jones leaked a small laugh and shook his head. "It's nothing. I was just out late last night and I had left my cardigan at home.’’‘’It's okay. So what is the update?’’ Bryce finally asked.‘’I ran a check in the pack, just as you ordered. But I could not find anything serious on the wolf you had encountered.’’‘’What do you mean by that?’’ Bryce dropped the papers he had in his hand, on top of his desk, and took a comfortable position on his chair.‘’I mobilized some of the pack soldiers
