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

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?"

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

"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

After Bryce had gotten into his sister's car, he turned his phone on and was welcomed by forty-nine messages from his sister, and then the fiftieth message beeped in.‘Where is my car?’‘Why the freaking hell did you take my car?’‘You a*sshole of a brother, bring back my car!’‘I'll report you to mom’‘Bring my car!’‘I swear, I’ll kill you once I get hold of you!…’’BRYCE WAS IN BIG TROUBLE AND HE KNEW IT. She wouldn't have been so angry if he had taken her permission and he knew he was at fault. The only way he could calm his sister and stop her from killing him was to purchase her favorite snack; Chestnut chocolate doubled with its cookies and a bottle of cherry wine.If that did not do the magic, then nothing would. Or so he believed.From the entrance of her house, he could feel the smoke fuming out of her nostrils while she stood at akimbo on her porch.‘BRYCE!’’ Sophie yelled after he had parked the car under the shade of the garage.Bryce stepped down from the car with the s
