MICHEAL
It shouldn't matter to me that my mate, no my secretary was in the arms of the man closest to me and they were giving each other lovey eyes.
Yet my blood is boiling with rage.
What exactly are they thinking being so intimate in a work setting.
I find myself growling at them. They both turn to face me, the little mush, face red with shame.
He should be ashamed of his actions rubbing on a man at work and I voice out my displeasure before I am able to stop it.
"What is going on here?"."Nothing", Kylian replies so quickly it seems suspicious, I eye him, "it definitely doesn't seem like it".
"I'm so sorry, I hit him and he caught me from falling, it's all my fault", the little bear squeaks trying to remove the blame from Kylian.
I look at them my eyes zeroing on the place where he clutches the tail of Kylian's suit.
I hiss, and my beta stands straighter, a certain craving to claw at him taking over me.
I shake my head, this is my right hand man and best friend, I trust him.
"Kylian go check on the new accounting team make sure their charts are up to date with the current stock hike."
He goes with a slight nod his eyes wary. I move closer to my mate, who cowers away the closer I come.
With just a few steps he is backed into the wall looking up at me with those big brown eyes , while I cage him,his scent wafts into my nostrils sweet and a little acrid a man's scent probably citrus hmm.
"Sir?.."
"Hmm, what is it?", his scent fills my system toying with my head.
"I, I I….", he squeaks my presence obviously affecting.
"you what mouse?" I press closer, my nose right over his hair."Rubbing all over your boss, is it what I employed you for"."Ofcourse not, I just tripped" he seems to have finally found his words.
"You just tripped, on a smooth floor straight into his open arms right" the thought of him ruffled as he looks in another man's arms set me off."You're just so clumsy and clueless",
"So unprofessional".
"I'm sorry sir it was just a mistake" "It better never repeat itself again" "you are to maintain respectable distance with all my employees", his doe eyes water and he blinks.
"Yes sir…."I storm off before he finishes his sentence my wolf unhappy I made mate cry.
KELVIN
I struggle as the tears welling in my eyes blurr my view, I just move without really seeing towards my office I'm greeted by some people I don't know and someone even stopping me to congratulate me on my job, but I don't see anything.
I'm so embarrassed my entire body is probably red, this is my first job ever and the boss wouldn't even give me a chance to prove myself before tagging me a failure.
I go into my office so slowly, hoping not to run into him.
I settle and then realize I have to actually go and take the papers I will be working on from Mr Evans.
I take my courage in both hands and go to his office,
hesitating a little before knocking on the door.
A barely audible "come in", and I enter into the office.
I take in the floor to ceiling windows that show of the whole city behind them and the black polished desk and finally the man sitting behind it, I quickly avert my eyes when I see he is also watching me.
"Sir, I came to pick up the papers for your current project".
"Kelvin?", I slowly raise my eyes to him, his expression is softer than it was this morning.
We maintain eye contact the atmosphere straining, "that is classified, so you will be taking these to Mrs Cadwell at the human relations department, and sort through my meetings".
"Yes sir", I nod eager to please him now that he was not growling at me and pinning me against walls.
He licks his lips and my eyes lock on his pink tongue swiping quickly across his lips and back into his mouth.
Our fingers brush as I take the folder he hands me the currents have me shaking my head and rushing out of the office.
One second of being nice to me and I'm here thinking shit I'm probably as incompetent as he thinks I am.
I get into the office and the stern face of Mrs Cadwell greets me with her usual blanks stare.
"Is Micheal bothering you?", "no, no Ofcourse not", she just hums and faces back on her computer.
"I'm here to drop this folder, it is classified".
"Drop it here" she points to a cubby"Kelvin right?".
"Yes ma" "I specially chose you for this job, because I believe in you, I read your resume and application letter, I believe you have the strength for this post".
I stare at her speechless, "This is not an easy job and Micheal is not an easy man, but it will get easier", her words hold a promise, I nod.
"If you have any problems tell me".
"Thanks", she nods and I am dismissed.
The rest of the day is thankfully uneventful, and I have my head full of my bosses hot and cold character on my way home.
The tingles I feel around him, I giggle at the thought of my hot bossy boss, doing romantic things he obviously isn't the type.
I hear voices at my door and groan, not today Jesus.I open the door as silently as possibly, drop my bag on the chair.
I try to escape to the bathroom, "Kelvinnn", my mom calls out with her scratchy voice, evidence of the years of constant screaming.
"Oh mom, how are you" " don't give me that now, you come back and you don't come greet me".
"Obviously not, I wasn't expecting you", she eyes me up and down, her eyes just a bit red she's not fully high.
"I thought I live here with you" " but you're barely home" I sigh, keeping all the hurt her absence has created in my life out of my voice.
"Boy don't give me that attitude now, I'm your mother" "yes mom".
"I hear Arrow has been here lately", I nod stiffly, "cooperate with him, they are helping us with your sister and…" "I'm working very soon we will not need them anymore".
"Kelvin!, you will not turn your back on the people that have been helping us since your dead beat dad took off".
"Mom but…", "no buts Kelvin, you will do what Arrow says, it's for us, your family, don't be selfish like your father".
I nod resigned, I can't fail them especially June, she needs all the help she can get.
"Good, I'm just around the corner getting something, I'll be back soon" and she goes like she always does probably will not be seeing her shadow anytime soon.
