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

‘’I know."‘’I need to go now. I just received an important mail. But make sure you run more checks on that Luna. We need to find out what and why she is in our pack." Bryce said before ending the call.Bryce switched to his desktop, to check the mall that he had just received.‘Dear sir, the university of Handsburge would love to invite you for a meeting to discuss the housing proposal. If you are interested, please do well to click on the accept button just below this text. Thank you, management.'‘’Wow. Something exciting for the day!’’ Bryce exclaimed, while immediately clicking on the accept button. His company had been chasing a business deal with his ex-university for years. And after so much denial, he had finally been invited for a meeting, which would mean that if the outcome was successful, he would end up signing a contract worth billions.Bryce's smile was interrupted by the impromptu knock on his door.‘’Come in’’ He replied roughly, slightly annoyed at who would disrupt
