[-In The Mansion of Prince Kratos-]
Right after his meeting with the CEO President and the Vice President of the Pride Holdings Enterprise, Prince Kratos spent his lunch time with Scarlett before he returned to his mansion.
A mansion located within the territory of his wolf pack.
All of his staff members were surprised at the sudden temper of their Alpha Prince.
Including Lady Cynthia, the chief of staff of the Alpha Prince, and his Beta.
They were oblivious and not aware of what took place in the meeting.
Both of the executive officers of Prince Kratos followed their Alpha Prince to his main office.
…
As soon as they entered the main office room of their Alpha Prince, they noticed how terrible his mood was at the moment.
…
Before speaking up, the two executive officers of Prince Kratos glanced at each other.
…
Lady Cynthia decided to speak ahead.
"What happened to the meeting with the CEO President of the Pride Holdings Enterprise? Did they refuse your proposal?" Lady Cynthia asked with curiosity.
He was clearly not in the mood.
Though, he does not want to disrespect his chief of staff because Lady Cynthia was like a mother to him.
Since he was raised by Lady Cynthia after his beloved mother perished.
…
So he replied without sounding disrespectful to her.
Containing his temper and keeping his cool.
"The meeting with the Pride Family went well," he answered Lady Cynthia's query.
Beta Gavin and Lady Cynthia became more curious to what caused for the mood of their Alpha Prince.
"Then… why are you so agitated and irritated? Did something happen on your way back here?" Lady Cynthia tried to speculate for the reason of Prince Kratos to be irritated.
"I am not irritated! I am not upset!" Prince Kratos insisted to be okay.
He continued, "I AM OKAY!"
Refusing to accept the fact that he was irritable and grumpy.
"I look okay… right?" Prince Kratos asked the two.
…
Together they uttered in unison, "No, you don't look okay…"
Standing in front of him, Lady Cynthia and Beta Gavin became more curious to what happened.
…
It made Prince Kratos think about Scarlett, his human savior.
…
*** Flash Back ***
Spending lunch time in a public canteen was a new thing for Prince Kratos.
Unlike the Alpha Prince, the CEO's daughter was already accustomed eating in public places.
It was something she was already familiar with during her previous life.
Though, the original character of Scarlett in the story was someone who was discreet and doesn't like to be in public places.
<< According to the original story, Scarlett Pride was not fond being seen in public places or spending her time where many people are around. >>
Scarlett thought it could make a difference to the ending of the story if she tries to change the usual habit of the original Scarlett Pride.
One of those things could be spending time around public places.
…
While they were on the line choosing their own food for lunch.
Prince Kratos was just behind Scarlett scanning the entire set of food prepared for the employees.
Curious at the kind of food being served in front of them.
In his entire life, he always had privilege and things served in front of him.
Not the other way around.
Holding his own tray and getting his own choice of food for his lunch.
Back in his mansion, he was usually being served with all of his request.
But now… it's a self-service!
"One of the things you will like here in the company is the food. They serve quality and quantity-wise servings," Ivon told Scarlett.
"I can see! Meaning, there are a lot of delicious choices for us," Scarlett's response to Ivon.
Then she asked Prince Kratos as they walked through line.
"How about you… Mister Gavin, right? Are you new here like me? From which division are you from?" Scarlett asked.
…
Since the Alpha Prince can basically request anything from the CEO President of the Pride Holdings Enterprise, he confidently made a lie.
"I am a consultant to the Vice President of the Pride Holdings Enterprise. So, I just come when I am requested by the vice president of the company."
Both Ivon and Scarlett were impressed at the job title of the Alpha Prince.
Unaware that the Alpha Prince was only pretending to be a consultant and hiding his true identity.
…
As they moved along the line, Prince Kratos could not decide which food he should choose.
And Scarlett noticed this.
"I guess you are not familiar with the food here in the canteen just like me," Scarlett remarked towards Prince Kratos.
She continued, "But sometimes you need try new stuff and explore for new experience."
"TRY THIS!" Scarlett chose the food for the Alpha Prince.
No one has done things like asserting decision for him. Prince Kratos was amused with his savior's attitude.
Making him more interested of her.
She was not like the usual women who threw themselves at him and would do anything he says.
Those kinds of women did not gain the interest of Prince Kratos.
Avoiding them or rejecting them became his habit once he encountered such a kind of woman.
…
"Oooh, red paste chili beef ground and beans!" Scarlett began to include in Prince Kratos' plate.
His eyes widened seeing the slimy beans and creamy red sauce of the chosen food.
It surprised him more to see Scarlett choose something new to his palate.
"You have pepper gravy chicken liver? Wow!" Scarlett uttered at the sight of the pepper gravy chicken liver.
Prince Kratos tried to move his tray away to avoid Scarlett's intention to put such a food.
She noticed the hesitation of Prince Kratos.
"OH COME ON!"
"Don't tell me you have not tasted this one?"
He shook his head in response to Scarlett.
"Tsk! Then you should definitely have this!"
How could Prince Kratos refuse now when Scarlett grabbed his tray and was persistent on making Prince Kratos taste it?
…
Ivon was containing her laugh seeing how dominating the personality of Scarlett while the tall and handsome Alpha Prince could not even resist Scarlett's charm.
…
As soon as they found their place to have their seats, Prince Kratos saw how full his plate was with new stuff that he has not tried in his life.
He gulped in nervousness if he could eat it all.
"Have you heard the rumor? The CEO President of Pride Holdings Enterprise only hire humans and avoid affiliation with any werewolf packs," Ivon shared the information she got.
Upon hearing such a rumor, Prince Kratos wanted to join in the conversation.
When Scarlett gave her own opinion.
"THAT'S GREAT! IF THAT IS TRUE!" She said.
"Why would that be great? Having werewolves around would help boost the security here…"
Before Prince Kratos could finish his statement, Scarlett interjected.
"I DON'T LIKE WEREWOLVES! I FIND THEM UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS FOR ME!"
She added, "They are the ones who bring danger to humans."
…
From that point on, Prince Kratos felt a gut wrenching kick on his guts.
Hearing his savior disliking werewolves.
He tried his best to keep a straight face and his cool around the ladies.
…
*** End of Flash Back ***
…
"I found my savior…" The Alpha Prince revealed to his most trusted executive officers.
