Bothered
She knew she didn’t have enough time. Alex’s mother could call her anytime, and if she realizes that she hasn’t done what she asked of her, She won’t take it lightly with her.
As much as she also wants to reject him and forget about werewolves and witches, She couldn’t because of how her eyes kept changing on their own.
She remembered what Maya told her about her possibility of not being a human. She also remembered how Alex’s eyes had changed that night when she thought he was sick. “Could werewolves be a virus? Did I contact it? Will I also turn into a wolf?” These are the questions that are going through her mind. “No. I’m human.” She kept telling herself.
“I need to find out before Alex’s mother comes for me again,” she thought. She did not want anything that would bring the woman back to threaten her.
She took her phone and called Maya. “Hello.” She heard the voice.
“Hello Maya. How are you doing?”
“I’m fine, and you?” They exchanged pleasantries before they got to the main conversation.
“I need your help. Can you come this Saturday? I would have come to you, but you know how your brother can be.” She wanted to tell Alex about it, but she knew that it might affect her moving out of his house soon.
“I don’t know about Saturday, but I’ll try.” Maya said.
“Thank you.” She said before hanging up. She just hoped Alex wouldn’t be around on Saturday. She left the restroom to go back to her work.
She had her bathroom break and decided to use that to call Maya. It hadn’t taken one minute before she got back to her seat when the door to his office opened.

“I’m so happy you agreed to this deal sir, despite it being a startup company.”
“I hope you agreed to all the terms, Mr. Kyle.” Alex said. He was sitting in his mini-palor, with his back resting on the couch and his legs crossed. Jeff, his assistant, took the contract from the table that was already signed by the man and gave it to him.
Yes sir. The man replied with a smile.
Alex flipped and checked the papers before dropping them back. “That’s good. I guess that would be all then.” He needed to get back to important work. He only spared the man for a few minutes.
“Yes. I should get going, sir.”
The man stood up and stretched his hands toward him for a handshake. Alex also received his and shook him, but something caught his attention. He looked up at the man, who was just smiling, before he retrieved his hand.
“Goodbye sir.” The man said before walking towards the door. Jeff also followed him to escort him out.
Kyle walked out of his office and was about to walk towards the elevator when his eyes caught a lady standing behind a counter. Instead of entering the elevator, which Jeff had opened. He turned around and walked towards the lady.
“Oh my! Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?!” He exclaimed with a smile.
Ellie, who was just looking at him as if she were lost, said with a little bow. “Hello sir.”
“You’re so beautiful.”
“Thank you, sir.” She said before looking at Jeff for help.
It was as if Jeff heard her mind. “We should get going now, Mr. Kyle.” He showed the man the way before Alex would come out of his office. He knew that the deal would first be over before Alex would decide to do anything to him. He was happy that the werewolf wasn’t using his hearing ability at that time; otherwise, he would also have been in trouble.
“What a weird man.” She said to herself after the man left. She hated how the man was giving her a flirty smile.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
She took the lunch boxes she had ordered from Alex’s favorite restaurant and walked to his office to give them to him. She knocked on the door faintly and opened it when she heard his voice from inside.
“I brought your lunch.” She dropped the box on the table in his mini palor. “Are you busy? I guess I should take it back.” She said, noticing that he was typing something on his computer.
“Just sit down. I’m almost done.” Alex looked up at her with a smile. He was so busy that he did not have time to spare for food, but he couldn’t ignore his little bunny when she brought the lunch herself.
Ellie waited for about two minutes until Alex finally closed the laptop and walked towards her. He saw that she had already set the table, but he noticed that there was only one dish placed on the table. “Why is there only one food? Do you want to eat on the same plate as me so badly?” He asked with a teasing smile.
No. I’ll just eat in my office.
“Eat in your office? I thought we were over that.” Alex asked, dropping the spoon on the table.
“I’m not just hungry now.” She said, taking her gaze away from him.
Alex, without taking his eyes off her, asked. “Why?” He noticed that she was looking so disturbed. “Is there something wrong?”
“There’s nothing wrong.” She said, before sitting down opposite him. She wanted to be alone, but she knew it wasn’t possible when it comes to Alex. She decided to just eat her food so as to avoid more questions from him.
She did not know why she felt so bothered whenever she thought about leaving his house soon. She feels sad every time she thinks about it or sees Alex smiling at her. A part of her kept telling her it was a good decision to reject him and forget about him, while a part of her was sad thinking about it.
Alex was just looking at her as she ate. She did not even look up at him or say a single word. She just kept eating her food with a heavy heart.
