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

He sighed at the sight of the golden gleaming gate that led to his mansion. George who was the guard assigned to the gate, opened it with a bow while ushering him into the mansion.As expected, everywhere was serene and quiet as though no one existed in the house. Even when Bryce was sure that a dozen other guards were loitering somewhere around the compound, claiming to be the protection of the Alpha.He could not tell if he loved darkness more than light. But the several gleaming lights that shone from his house seemed to irritate his eyes.After Bryce had crawled onto his cold bed, to get a well-deserved rest after the hectic day, he had a dream. It was about the same wolf he saw in the woods the other night chasing him out of his pack, and instead of fighting back, he had sheepishly run away from the wolf. For the fear of his life.It seemed so real, that Bryce feared it could happen one day.It was unusual for Bryce to wake up to see his father at the door of his bedroom. He sq

‘’Bryce, while I was compiling the list into a folder, I could not help but pause at this name.’’ Candice opened the screen of her laptop and pointed at the name.‘’It must surely be a mistake that you included her name in the list because she has no work experience to prove that she is work-driven,’’ Candice said, pointing to the space on her column.‘’Oh. That.’’ Bryce muttered nonchalantly while looking back at his desktop and continuing with his typing spree.‘’Yes, that is exactly what I came to talk about. I wonder how people apply for a job at a high-profile company without a single work experience. Do they expect the job to fall from heaven or the employer to accept him or them for personal use? Even if the person is applying for a job as a cleaner, he or she needs to gather up her experiences as proof that she is good at what he or she does. I don’t know what this world is turning into.’’Candice seemed exasperated.‘’I’ll just get back to my office and clear the name,’’ she
The Alpha's Temptation 26.
Taking off his now sweat-drenched suit as a result of the overhead sun, Bryce took brisk steps to his office.The feeling of the air conditioner on his skin was something he could not wait to enjoy.After he had opened up his laptop, he received a notification that Candice had finally sent in the work she was supposed to do. Which meant that no more questioning was coming from her.Reviewing the now-arranged list sent by Candice, Bryce paused at the name that almost caused a fight between him and his beta.Tessa.He tapped his pen on his desk and bit his lower lips in annoyance.He knew that he was not supposed to accept a lady with no experience. Not even for an interview, but her identity was special and he needed to keep the enemy close to avoid falling into a ditch dug for him.Now seated in his office and staring at her name with a retrospect of his previous conversation with Jones, he wondered why she left her pack and was in his territory.If she was a spy to Chris as he though

Tessa could not understand what was wrong with her. The last time she felt that way was when she thought she was pregnant for Chris and could not have the appetite to eat.Out of her giddiness and anxiety over the interview, she had searched her box for any corporate dress which she could wear for it. Tessa did not own a single corporate attire that could be fit for the interview. The only dress that seemed corporate and official enough was a gown that was gifted to her by her sister just after she told her of her dream of being a business lady.She could not wear that gown she wondered why she packed it up in the first place; her sister must her gave her that dress to fuel her dream and leave her husband.She had surely left her husband for her, but she certainly could not wear the dress despite the beauty it depicted.Tessa still felt like a newcomer in the town, because of her indoor and introverted nature, so she did not know the way to any boutique in the town.As usual, she sto

*****At exactly 7 pm, Bryce set out in his car dressed in a black hoodie that covered his face and matching joggers with a box of money in the back seat. The lady on the phone had not specified if they needed money, but from his experience, he knew that all she needed was money.He refused to tell his guards his whereabouts, as he raced out of his mansion.The sky was already dark for the time the clock told. Maybe it was because of the heavy downpour that some hours back. Either way, the weather, and atmosphere were not friendly to him.The oak building was not far from where he stayed, and thirty minutes later, he was already at the venue.The person had specified in meeting him at the back of the oaks house.But at the back was a clubhouse, more like a lounge.Why would someone want to meet with him at a club?The blaring music from the club could already reach Bryce's ears even before he arrived there.Cars were not many in the parking lot and he could even count the number of ca
The Alpha's Temptation 29.
Bryce stared back at Tessa. Unlike Tessa who was trying to lower her head and act like it was normal to get interviewed by a rival to her pack, Bryce maintained his stare without hiding it. She walked over to the table and dropped her document on the desk, exposing the side of her neck which was not covered by her waist-length hair.‘’Come in, and take a seat.’’ Monica, one of the interviewers who had a strict expression on her face and was selected from the disciplinary section of the company said roughly to Tessa after she had greeted them.Bryce knew that the other interviewers could not sense the fear that roamed around Tessa. He seemed to be able to feel her fear and shivers. He wondered if it was because of the interview, or because he was the CEO of the company she had applied for.‘’From your document, we can see that you are 25 years old and you go by the name Tessa Stone.’’ Another female at the right hand of Bryce said while adjusting the bridge of her narrow-looking glas
