Chapter 28
Are you jealous?*Adriana stared at the couple in front of her with fuelling anger towards them.They could act all lovely but why come into the company to act lovely and still they have to do it right in front of her.
"With all due respects boss, taking pictures is not part of my job" Adriana finally spoke up, her gaze on the floor.
"What insolence! Do you realize who you are refusing?! You are refusing Alpha Xavier and his mate!" Emilia blabbed at Adriana and Adriana so much wanted to tell Emilia that she very well knew that Emilia was a fake mate.
"I dare not refuse the high and honorable Alpha Xavier and his mate, the love of his life but this is...."
Xavier could feel the jealousy in those words, the love of his life and he smirked inwardly.
"Didn't know making her jealous would be this easy Red"
" Miss. Adriana. You are my personal assistant so definitely you are going to be breaking boundaries, this i
Chapter 29I like you better*Adriana could feel her heart thumping, not just because of the question but also because of how close he was to her.She could feel her female hormones respond to even his voice. She knew he had his effects on her, a whole lot of effects."I asked you a question Adriana or do you want me to.... To find that out myself?" Xavier asked, his hands caressing her face slowly before tucking strands of hair behind her ears.Even such little acts from Xavier were making Adriana lose it gradually, she loved how gently his fingers grazed her skin but she knew this was a bit right, he was the enemy's son, her prime target as a replacement for the death of her brother."B... Boss, please ask questions only related to business and please address me formally too" she said, finally pushing him off her."Okay, Miss Adriana. As a new employee, I gave you such a simple task, take pictures and all you could do is take your
Chapter 30*Adriana removed the stressful heels and threw them to a side of the room."That arrogant playboy!"She fumbled with pulling off the clothes and eventually did so.Adriana stepped into the shower."That playboy! Asked me to kiss him and still yet tells that Emilia he likes her better" she grumbled out loud." This sounds to me like you are jealous, are you?" Whix asked." Of course not" Adriana replied quickly." C'mon, it's normal to be jealous. After all, he once had your heart or maybe he still has...."" He does not! I have cut off all ties with him Whix. He has no place in my heart. I only care about Aunty Sarah, the coven and you" Adriana replied." It's so nice to hear such a caring sentence from you"" I have always been caring" Adriana chuckled.*" Really? You like me?" Emilia asked, grinning widely." Of course I do but right now I am tired and I need to rest.
Chapter 31The heat*Immediately Xavier was gone, the workers of the promotion department gossiped amongst themselves."Do you think the boss had eyes on the girl?"" Of course he has, why else would he scold us for her?"" But he had a mate already"" It does not matter. Boss is rich, he is handsome, he can take her as a side chick, I only wished I could be taken as the side chick also"" Silly you"*Xavier saw Adriana staring at the cups of each person's orders in front of her.He could guess that she was thinking of how she was going to carry it once.Xavier didn't want to go out to help her, she wouldn't come back to him if she doesn't get jealous enough.He spotted two young boys and waved them to come."You see that lady there, help her with the things she wanna carry. Here you go" Xavier said and handed the boy a bundle of money."Just.... Just to help her?" The both of them a
Episode 32Emilia's dirty little secret*Xavier groaned seeing the manager. He slowly and hesitantly let go of Adriana.Adriana moved backwards and smoothened out her dress, wiping her lips like she didn't want the kiss.She sent him a hard glare, huffed, and walked out."I am sorry for interrupting" the manager apologized as Xavier took his seat.Xavier could not understand why things had to be foiled just when he had Adriana already."You ruined things already""But boss, it's the heat period and you now have a mate, why don't you spend it with your mate instead?"Xavier almost blurted that he was spending it with his mate before he interrupted but he bit his lips."I... Just forget about it"*Adriana just couldn't believe how easily she had melted in front of him.She wanted to scold and nag at herself for drowning in his kisses, she wanted to yell at herself for still yet loving his tou
Chapter 33.Why did you reject me?*Adriana walked to a room and knocked on the door, there was no response so she confirmed that the room must be vacant.She pushed open the door and her eyes surveyed the beauty of the room. Her lips parted into a smile as she plopped into the soft bed which accommodated her warmly.She dug her face into the pillows and giggled before throwing the pillows up and catching them mid-air.She loved the room, it was sparkling clean, too clean for an abandoned room. Adriana wondered about how many maids the moonstones family must have to be able to keep this huge mansion super clean always."Just let me be Red!!" Adriana heard someone scream, that was definitely Xavier's voice.She had just chosen the room next to Xavier."I am too unlucky, I even chose the room beside this playboy!" She grumbled." Whatever" Whix said in a tone that made Adriana understand very well that Whix wanted to b
Chapter 34Is he jealous?*Adriana gulped hard and blinked severally. That wasn't a question she could reply to, she couldn't tell him about her revenge plan.That would be ruining all that she had worked for with Aunty Sarah all her life."I don't want to talk about our past Alpha Xavier"" Our past?" Xavier scoffed.He was starting to get pissed off at how much Adriana was playing and toying with his emotions.He could hardly believe that she called all that they had shared in the past. Xavier stood up in a fit and stormed off from the garden.He got to his room and was highly relieved that Emilia was not there anymore.He locked the door and lay on his bed. Xavier shut off every thought from his head and allowed sleep to take him off into the fantasy world.*Adriana stood up from the grass and heard inside the mansion, sighing from time to time.Her thoughts were really jumbled up and she couldn'
Chapter 35A jerk or a secret angel?*" I really think he is jealous" Whix replied." Give me back my phone!" Adriana demanded but Xavier didn't give it back.He blacklisted Jeremy's contact and stood up in a way that showed how annoyed he was."Why are you angry all of a sudden boss?" Adriana asked." Why am I angry? You... You are at work right now, how can you bring in personal things such as calling a guy right in front of your boss"" I am sorry boss, can I have my phone now?"" No! You are not getting back your phone till you are closed for the day" Xavier grumbled and headed towards the car.Adriana grabbed her purse and ran after him. He got into the car and Adriana did the same."Which meeting are we going to be attending?" Adriana asked." We are going somewhere else, not for a meeting" Xavier replied, his face still squeezed in a frown and his lips formed a pout."I thought we were goi
Chapter 36A witch in the moonstones mansion?*Xavier ran into the car to meet a fuming and grumbling Adriana. He smiled and got into the car beside her."Why did you leave the shopping mall? Am I the one supposed to pick those things into the car?" He asked but she kept mute and pouted more which gradually awakened his sexual appetite.He gulped and tried to focus on the discussion and not on her lips or her body."I am asking a question, were you thinking that I was getting all of those things for you? Why would I get them for you when I have not gotten things for my darling Emilia yet" he pressed on and Adriana snapped her head towards him.She seethed and gritted her teeth in anger before facing the other side and looking out of the window."Miss. Adriana, are you by any chance jealous?"" Jea... Jealous? I am not" Adriana denied but even she knew that she was. All her actions had pointed towards only one fact 'She was
