REJECTED: The Alpha Behind The Mask

Chapter 131 Meeting Clinton



Victoria’s POV

His green eyes were dull and confused, as he stared at me with a questioning look. Quickly, I stood up from the floor and swallowed nervously.

He slowly sat on the bed and roughly arranged his hair with his both hands before moving his gaze towards me.

“Why are you here?” he asked.

I bite my lips nervously and did not know what to say to him because I couldn’t tell him I was missing him, that’s why I came to see him.

“Are you hungry?” he asked.

“No, I just ate.” I managed to respond.

He nodded his head and checked the clock by the bed stand, “It’s almost 11 am, I must have slept for a long time, I have somewhere to go.” he grumbled tiredly, removed the blankets from his body and left the bed.

“Shit.” he muttered out shocked, and went for the blanket, but it was too late because I had already seen what he was hiding.

Quickly, I turned my back to him as I felt my cheek light up in red colors. I just saw Eric totally naked, and I couldn’t help but blush.

“I’m sorry, I forgot I slept naked.” he grumbled while moving away from me, probably trying to put on a short.

“It’s okay, I’ll see you downstairs.” I did not let those words finish from my mouth before I went to the door and ran out of the room.

I rested my back on the door of his room and tried to catch my breath. I can’t believe I just saw Eric fully naked without clothes.

I blushed at the image of his dick in my head, his dick was huge and erect, and I wondered how it felt when we had sex.

I shook off the idea from my head and left the door for my room.

I went into my room and sat on the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to take off the image of Eric’s nakedness, but I couldn’t. The image kept refreshing in my head that I felt a cold shiver run down my spine.

“Shit.” I grumbled when I realized I was getting turned on.

Quickly, I left the bed, pulled off my clothes and went for the bathroom. Maybe a warm bath could help.

I stood in the warm shower and slowly took my bath while trying to erase the picture of Eric’s naked body in my head.

After wasting a lot of time in the bathroom, I sighed and left the bathroom, put on a simple long shirt and a short before lying back on the bed.

The plan was for me to walk around the house, but I couldn’t do that anymore because I couldn’t face Eric, not after what I saw this morning.

Luckily for me, there was a TV in the room, so I put it on and forced myself to concentrate on the movie showing on the TV, but I couldn’t.

Few minutes, I grumbled and switched off the TV. I lay back on the bed and forcefully closed my eyes, begging for sleep to come.

Few minutes later, I rolled on the bed and grumbled loudly as I couldn’t sleep. I checked the time and saw that it was few minutes pass 1pm.

With a heavy groan, I sat on the bed and thought of a way to erase his naked images from my head, but it wasn’t helping.

I heard a soft knock on the door, and before I could respond, the door opened and Eric walked in.

He was dressed in tight black jeans, a white shirt and a black jacket. Seeing him always dressed this way, I realized black must be his favorite color.

I met eyes with him and noticed he appeared comfortable like nothing had happens few hours ago.

I mean, I just saw him naked, but the look on his face showed that he didn’t care.

“What…do you want?” I stuttered nervously.

He left the door and walked up to me. I took a deep breath and inhaled the fascinating scent coming from his body.

“Don’t tell me you decided to lock yourself here because you saw me naked in my room.” he asked while he lowered his face to my face, since I was sitting on the bed.

I gulped embarrassed and looked away.

He chuckled and cupped my face with his both hands, forcing me to stare directly into his green, sparkling eyes. “This is not the first time you are seeing me naked, you just can’t remember it, so stop thinking about it.” he flashed me a big smile and placed a kiss on my forehead.

He let go of my face, while I grumbled as his warm hands left my face. “I have to meet with someone…” I did not let those words leave his mouth before I cut in, “Can I join you.” I did not know when that left my mouth.

He gave me a quizzical look before he nodded his head to me, implying I could join him.

“Thank you.” I stood up from the bed, hurried to the closet and took out proper clothes for an outing.

I was about to take off my clothes when I realized Eric was still standing there with his gaze on me.” I want to change my clothes.” I murmured shyly.

“So?” he asked sarcastically with raised eyebrows.

I bite my lips and moved closer to him, “You should leave.”

“This is not the first time to see you naked.” he spoke with a big grin on his face. “But…” he did not let me finish before he cut me off. “You saw me naked this morning, don’t you think it’s fair I do the same.” he asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

Hearing those words from him, I felt my legs become weak, and I gulped nervously.

I can’t remember being naked in front of any man. We might have done things in the past, but I can’t remember any of it. To me, all this was new.

After much deliberation, I decided to heed his request. After all, he was my boyfriend. Slowly, I was about to take the big shirt off, but he moved closer to me and placed kisses on my face and cheek. ”I was just teasing you, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.” he flashed me a warm smile before leaving the room.

As he left, I sighed and sat on the bed. For strange reasons, I was angry and hurt.

Alpha Eric’s POV

I sat on the couch and waited for Victoria to come downstairs.

I checked the time and noticed it was almost twenty minutes, and I wondered what was keeping her this long.

Out of impatience, I left the couch and was about to make my way to her when I saw her walking down the stairs.

I took a good look at her and saw she was putting on short jeans and a red crop dress. Seeing her dress this way, I realized she was dressed like a teen.

I moved my gaze to her exposed legs and thighs and couldn’t help but groan as my dick shifted uncomfortably.

Quickly, I looked away and picked up my phone before leaving the sitting room for the garage.

I started the car and waited for her to join me. She arrived with a shy smile on her face. I smiled back at her and opened the door for her to go in. We both entered the car, and I drove off. The drive was silent until she spoke up, “Where are we going?”

“A meeting.” I responded.

She turned, and stared at me with stunned eyes. “You should have told me,” she murmured while I chuckled.

“Are you scared, shy or nervous?” I asked teasingly.

She ignored me and murmured words I couldn’t hear while I continued laughing.

We drove for a while before we got to the restaurant where Clinton and I would be meeting. “Are we going in?” she asked as we got out of the car,

“Yes,” I replied, took her hand and led her in.

“Welcome, let me take you to your table.” the server smiled and led the way.

We walked past a few tables before we got to the table where Clinton was already seated waiting for us.

“Typical Eric, always coming late.” he muttered with a ridiculous smile on his face. I ignored him and took out a chair for Victoria to sit in.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t you think I should wait for you at another table?” she suggested nervously.

“That won’t be necessary.” I held her arms and made her sit before I took the seat beside her.

“Where are your bodyguards?” Clinton asked while looking around, but I ignored him and took the file that was already placed on the table and went through it.

“Hello beautiful.” he directed those words to Victoria with a big grin on his face.

“Stay away from her.” I warned him through telepathy.

He moved his gaze from her and stared at me with a curious look. “She is your mate.” he did not express those words as a question.

I ignored him and continued going through what was written on the file.

I heard him place an order for us before moving his gaze back to Victoria.

“I never knew Eric’s mate could be this beautiful,” he praised, while staring at Victoria.

“Just shut up and let’s deal with this.” I murmured angrily.

“How can I work when a beautiful lady is sitting right before me, mehn your mate is beautiful…” he did not finish his words before Victoria cut him off. “What is a mate?” she asked while staring at both of us with a confused and curious look.

“What’s a mate?” she asked again when she did not get a response from us.

“It’s nothing, it’s just a name we call our girlfriends or lovers.” I replied quickly.

”Oh!” She nodded her head and took a sip of her drink.

“Really?” Clinton asked through telepathy. “She is being marked, how come she doesn’t know who you are?” he asked through telepathy.

“Can you shut up and let’s work on this deal?” I responded through telepathy and handed another file for him to read through.

He kept the file on the table, and moved his gaze back to Victoria. “Forgive my manners, my name is Clinton.” he brought forth his hand to Victoria, which she took. “I’m Victoria, nice meeting you.” she flashed him a big smile, which I hated.

“I’ve been friends with Eric since our university days,” he muttered cheerily.

Hearing those words from him, I grumbled and gave him an angry gaze.

“Can you just stop talking.” I said through mind link, but he ignored me and continued talking to Victoria.

“We shared an apartment together while in school, although he wanted to live alone, but his dad refused and asked me to share his apartment with him.” He announced.

“Wow, I thought you guys were just business associates, I never knew you guys were friends.” Victoria spoke excitedly, it was obvious she was glad to meet a friend of mine. “You never told me we were coming to see your friend.” she muttered those words to me.

I heaved a deep sigh and took another sip of my drink. “Let’s go back to work.” I told Clinton and kept another file in front of him.

“She is beautiful.” he praised through telepathy. I groaned angrily and moved my gaze to him, giving him the death glare.

“Calm down.” he said through telepathy with a big grin on his face.

“I need to visit the restroom.” Victoria whispered into my ear. I looked around and saw a door which indicated it was a restroom.

“Go over there.” I pointed the restroom door to her.

“I’ll be back.” she flashed a big smile at Clinton before leaving.

“She is polite, and a nice girl. The moon goddess must really love you to give you such an outstanding mate”. Clinton said the moment Victoria left.

I heard him but decided to ignore him. He has always been talkative since his university days.

“But I don’t get why you are hiding your identity from her. ” He asked curiously.

“Can you at least shut up for at least a moment and let’s work, I have other things to work on.” I muttered, annoyed.

He released a heavy sigh and took the file in front of him.

“I don’t see why you needed me to come, we could have done this over the phone.” I grumbled while closing the file.

“I just wanted to see my old friend again,” he responded.

I rolled my eyes at him and stared in the direction of the restroom. “Calm down, no one is taking her away from you.” he teased.

I groaned at his words and moved my gaze to him, “You don’t know a thing.” I groaned angrily and moved my gaze back to the restroom.

Victoria was taking too long and I didn’t like it.

“Why is she taking so long?” I murmured out, and stood to my feet.

I was about making my way to the restroom when I noticed Victoria walking out while holding her right hand.

With panic, I rushed to her and took hold of her hand, “What happened?” I asked while taking a look at her injured hand. She had a cut on her hand, but luckily, it wasn’t deep.

“I…felt dizzy all of a sudden.” she mumbled.

“It’s okay, let’s go home.” I kissed her forehead and led her back to the table.

“We have to go, she just injured herself.” I announced to Clinton, took my phones and my file from the table.

“Let me help.” he offered.

“That won’t be necessary,” I rejected quickly.

“Why? You know I can heal her,” he spoke out.

“I don’t want to scare her, she is going through a lot which you don’t know about, so just let it be, I’ll call you later.” I said those words through telepathy and left with Victoria.

We left the restaurant and went back to the car. “I don’t want to go back to the hospital.” she pleaded, “I won’t take you there.” I assured her and drove out.

We drove in silence until we got home.

We got out of the car and I led her straight to my room. “Sit,” I said while going for the first aid kit in my drawer.

Quickly, I took it out, walked to her side and sat on the bed.

Carefully, I cleaned the wound, added some medicine before bandaging it.

“I need to give you some painkillers.”

“I’m fine, I don’t want to take any drugs.” She murmured and folded her arms like a child.

“Fine, just lie down and rest, I’ll call the doctor to check on you.”

“What for.” she murmured.

“You felt dizzy, which is not good, so the doctor needs to check up on you.” I pleaded while running my fingers through her hair.

She grumbled and stood to her feet.

“I told you to rest.”

“I’m going to rest in my room.” She responded.

“I mean you should rest here”, I stood up from the bed, took her arms and made her lay on my bed.

“Stay here, so I can watch over you.” I kissed her forehead and was about to leave when she called back my attention.

“Your friend, is he a doctor?” she asked. I turned and stared at her with a confused look.

“No, why ask?” I asked.

“I overheard him saying he could help with the injury.”

“Oh that?” I spoke nervously, “He just wanted to help, he is no doctor, now have some rest.” I smiled and kissed her forehead before leaving my room.

I went downstairs and dialed the doctor’s number. It rang a few times before it was picked

“Is there a problem?” he asked over the phone.

“Yes, she felt dizzy and injured herself. Could you come over and check her up before we go back to California.”

“I’ll be coming later after work, just make sure she doesn’t stress herself.”

“Thank you.” I muttered and ended the call.
