The meeting ended soon and everyone left the room except for a man who was supposed to be Noah's assistant. A man who will help him to get a hold of the business tactics but the boy only wanted to quit. He was determined to show Lia that he is not as dumb as she thinks, the only reason that he signed the documents. He didn't want to get his pride hurt and fall in front of her especially after she claims herself to be the luna who is capable of handling everything.
"Zed, we need you to completely submit yourself to us." the man spoke as he watched the boy zone out.
The word surrender was a mistake to be spilled in front of him but it triggered his inner consciousness, something which followed him since birth. Being an Omega, he was always asked to surrender in front if higher ranked wolves which being the only reason that he fled his realm. Now even in human world, he was getting a rest from that word. Why does he have to work for everyone, everywhere?
"I can't give up on my values." He confidently answered not bothering about the outcomes as he was enough taken for granted.
"You can not be here if you are not giving in to us completely. We promise to pay you a lot more than you can manage to make. All we need is your trust." The man was skilled in making people fall for words and Noah was no exception.
"What should I do?"
"Meet us here by tomorrow morning and we will have a trial section with the others. Just learn the last two pages of the document that I gave you earlier."
Noah nodded his head and picked the documents, ready to leave the place but the stone was still his concern. How was he supposed to ask for the stone before even he starts working for them? He looked over at the glass door where he met the man earlier, who introduced himself to the boy as the man who runs the entire company.
He stopped in front of the glass door not knowing if asking the stone back would be a good idea or not. What if they thought, he was easy to tame and used? He looked back at the man who voluntarily stopped behind him with all the documents. The man did not speak anything, instead showed a paper out which mentioned about the stone.
"You get once the work is done." The man spoke noticing the boy being uncomfortable after reading it.
"How do I trust that? I have to keep something in return as a security."
"The documents contain one of the top most secret of the company and we are giving a copy to you so it shouldn't be a problem. If you complete the work successfully without messing up, we would pay you double the market value." The man assured with a small smile.
"Your documents are illegal so what if we get caught?"
"That is why we gave you a code name and the documents are passed into your hands. You can not save this anywhere or take copies. Our company has been doing this since long." the man was rather proud than embarrassed for being caught.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Why are you selling that stone? It is for money and for your well being so the same goes for this. We need money and power and for that we can do anything...anything." The man whispered the last word into his ears as if it was supposed to be imprinted in his brain forever.
'Hmm." Noah got into the car and they drove back to the apartment but in the mid way, they stopped in front of a shop were a security was waiting with a couple of baggage.
"These are for you, so make sure to use it wisely." The man informed as they stopped the car in front of the apartment.
"Why? I don't want anything." Noah protested as he worried about the future pay backs that they would ask from him.
"This is about work and you need to keep it and use it as well. The car will be here by tomorrow morning, so better be ready with signed documents." The car drove off leaving him in front of the apartment with a couple of bags and a big black file.
He had to come up with an excuse to tell Lia so that Ren wouldn't know anything about it. He didn't think if the girl reached back safely or not and it was one of his default. He keeps losing track of things until they are really important to him or in favor of him. He walked upstairs because he needed more time to come up with a believable explanation. It would be easy to deceive Lia for the time being as she has no much information about the world.
"I can do this." He told himself, trying to maintain his composure.
The knock and bells on the door was attended to very quickly as it was only Lia at home. Maybe she was waiting for him to show up all along, because he told her that he would come back before Ren. Noah sighed noticing Ren has still not arrived, meaning he can hide the stuffs quick.
He gave a small smile to Lia before carrying the baggage to Lia's room without going to his shared room with Ren. The girl was giving him a confused look as he was carrying a lot of things. She followed him to the room only to see expensive suits and stuffs being dumped to the bed.
"What are you doing?" Lia asked walking to the boy from behind.
"I am arranging some cloths." He answered lazily as his eyes were also not able to believe the rich suits in front of him.
