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
"An online interview is not something to freak out about right?"Tessa asked no one in particular while signing into the online interview that she had been invited into.Luckily for her, it was stated that it was not a visual or audio interview, it was just a series of questions that she would need to pick the right answers and text into the provided space within a period.‘Nothing can go wrong Tessa convinced herself with trembling fingers.‘’Good day Mrs. Tessa." A voice from her phone uttered, just after got signed into the interview, causing her to freak out and almost jumped from her chair.‘‘I thought this was not audio, only text?" Tessa asked inwardly while putting on the earphones which she had luckily packed into her box before leaving the mansion.‘’Good afternoon.’’ Tessa tried to control her slurring tongue. She had never been on a live audio interview before. What the hell could she expect?‘’I would be asking you some series of questions, which is required for you to ty
The first company Tessa had secretly applied for, behind her husband’s back was a gold mining company, but after she sent he resume with no work experience, she had gotten a mail that she was not accepted with advice for her to get some work experience before applying again. Her grades did not even count for her, Tessa sighed as she came back from memory lane.She prayed inwardly that the company would not kick her out of the interview office after rereading her resume and realizing that she had not to work experience.Tessa made a mental note to pray to the moon goddess and ask for her support during the interview. She was her only hope.Finally, she felt a strong pang of hunger. For the past few days, she had not felt hungry because she was waiting and expecting the mail.She walked into her almost bare kitchen and opened up the refrigerator.Who was she kidding?The only thing she had In her fridge was a small packet of biscuits. She picked up the remains of the cornflakes In her
"Wake up you drunk man!’’ Sophie ordered while sprinkling the water in the bowl on Bryce's face. He soon woke up with a startle.He squinted his eyes and tried figuring who was seated in front of him. It took a couple of seconds before he fully got back his vision and was welcomed into the dark pink painting that hung around the wall and ceiling. That could not be his room. He hated pink for starters.‘’How did I get here?’’‘’Can’t you utter a word of thanks to me for dragging your pitiful ass home from that club before you humiliated yourself.’’ Sophie finally dropped the bowl of water and dried her wet hand on her dress.‘’let me get you some pain killers.’’ Sophie added, seeing the aching confused expression on the face of her brother.After Sophie got back, Bryce was seated on the bed looking around the room. The pink colored teddy bears that were scattered around her bed, coupled with the numerous novels that lay at the foot of her bed, told him that he was in his sister's roo
Just then, Candice walked back into his office.‘’Oh. I forgot to drop the file you are expected to sign on.’’‘’Candice’’ Bryce called out just before she jolted the handle of his door.Responding to the call of her name, Candice walked back towards Bryce.‘’I don’t know how else to thank you,’’ Bryce repeated, at the moment he felt like worshiping her for all her good deeds. He did know that she had ulterior motives for coming to his company. After all, she did not need to work in his company. But, he did not mind. She was the most hardworking person he had ever seen and she had never disappointed him. He was indeed very impressed by her that day as he knew how unconvinced the man who owned the land was.He was in charge of the proposal initially and he had gone to see the man nearly five times to implore him to sell it to them. It was very important as the company was around the land and it was hindering entry.But he had been adamant. So, he was impressed and grateful that she
