*Noel*
What is he really doing here? Johnny told me of his sudden visit yet we weren't informed about this. Now here I am stuck with him. Couldn't Kyle be any faster to get here and take him away… wait a minute, this scent…
"Pardon my intrusion –".
"Oh! It's the sane lady person!" What? Is he talking about her? I looked at Jenny who seemed to be shocked to see this guy. She also looked a bit intimidated by his presence, did something happen between them…? have they met somewhere…? My wolf is getting anxious, I stood up from my chair and observed the situation while tucking my hands in my pockets.
"You… Why are you here?" Jenny asked which just made this guy giggle then patted my back. I arched a brow at him as he said, "Well I also happen to know the CEO's brother so I paid him a visit, too. Though I have yet to see Kyle, haven't you called him yet…?" He then suddenly asked me, this guy…
"I did and he is on his way –".
"Oh! By the way, she's the cutie who interrupted my fun earlier.". Huh, the nerve of this brat, I'm older than him yet he interrupts me like I'm no one. And cutie…? My wolf is beginning to get annoyed. No one is calling our mate 'cutie' except for us but I can't just lose control here. "Ah! Where're my manners…?" He hopped towards Jenny and extended a hand. "Kaleb Clifford, the name you'll be asking for soon enough." What the hell? Is he hitting on my mate? My wolf is getting mad and so am I. I was about to say something when Jenny let out an amused chuckle. Her shocked and somehow intimidated reactions earlier have disappeared. They shared a handshake but she retrieved her hand immediately right after.
"Jenny Del Cruz and I'm sorry, but no. No, I won't.".
"Really…? Even if I take you out for lunch…?".
"Actually, my boyfriend's going to take me out for lunch.".
"A boyfriend…?".
"Yes… And he's actually over there.". Jenny then looked at me then smiled which I returned with a smile too. She's talking about me. My wolf howled in delight and I just couldn't help but be happy and proud of my mate. She just declared that I was her boyfriend. I went to her as our eyes never left each other including our smiles. But a burst of amused laughter echoed through the room. This brat is really getting on my nerves.
"Wow, this is interesting. I've never been rejected like this before…". I slightly gulped, I glanced at Jenny who was looking confused and somehow getting nervous. My wolf quickly got into protection mode as I touched Jenny's back to tell her that I am here. He then started slowly walking toward us and commented, "I'll have you see who I really am.". Wait, he isn't going to do it in front of her, will he? Can I even stop him? He's –
"Kaleb Clifford." A familiar voice had gotten his attention much to my relief. Kyle had come and his presence held back the brat's unclear intention. Though this brat seemed unamused by the sudden interruption, a bit of annoyance can be seen on his face. "I believe your business is with me. Come, please follow me up to my office." Kyle said in a serious tone, the brat shrugged it out but then followed Kyle out of the room. However, before completely leaving, he left me a smirk and a message through mind-link. 'I like this female, have her stick around.'.
I gritted my teeth, I nearly growled when I felt a hand on my cheek. I was a bit surprised but her minty sweet scent helped me to calm down. I looked at her and saw a worried Jenny. "Are you alright? You look pale.". My mate is worried about me, I felt happy yet I couldn't hold back and embraced her tightly. "Ah! N-Noel…?". I heard her but I didn't answer, I was afraid I'd growl if I try to say something. I'm trying to hold back my possessiveness; my mate is mine alone. No one is allowed to like her except me, not even that brat. Jenny then embraced me back and slowly patted my back. I could feel her warmth and I could melt in it. This feels so good, I don't want to ever let go.
'Noel, I need you up here, can you come…?' Kyle mind-linked at me, waking me up from my trance. Though I want to spend more time with Jenny, I can't just leave my Alpha, especially with that brat. My desk phone rang as expected and I reluctantly let Jenny go. I took the call by pressing line one, and it was Johnny, informing me that I am requested at Kyle's office. We do this to cover our mind-linking whenever we have human companions. Wouldn't it be weird when one just took off saying they're called by someone without anyone informing…? It was the most effective way.
"Alright," I responded then dropped the call. "Seems like our lunch needs a rain check.". I said to Jenny while we walk towards the door. She smiles and then replied, "No need…". I got curious why but then she informed me as she goes down the elevator, "You owe me dinner tonight.". Oh, my mate's getting braver. She waved me goodbye as the elevator doors closed to which I just grinned. When the elevator came back, I hopped in and pressed the 'T1'; it was time to face that brat again.
I got off the elevator and opened our Alpha's office room. "I'm here, Alpha –".
"So, she's your mate…?" That question caught me off guard. I looked at Kyle who just sheepishly smiled at me with his shrugged shoulders. I then glared at the brat. "Heh, that's a nice glare you've got there. If I weren't the King, I would've taken that as a challenge.".
