"Huh!" Alicia and Derby were tongue tied as they heard Lana's outburst. "Love?" They whispered.
Lana, not minding their expression returned her gaze back to Kelvin and Selena's direction and started sipping her drink.
"C'mon Lana, don't you see the guy is with someone else. He clearly doesn't even care about your feelings." Alicia said
"That's because he doesn't know about my feelings for him." Lana replied without blinking her eyes.
"What?" They exclaimed and Alicia almost puked. "Oh my God!" Alicia exclaimed. "So you're here trying to kill yourself with thinking over a man that doesn't even love you or know about your feelings for him. What's that his name again?" She asked tapping her fingers on the table.
"Kelvin...,I think it's Kelvin. Yeah, Kelvin Benjamin," Alicia heard Derby's quick answer.
"You're full of surprises you know. I never expected you throwing yourself on a man like that and...." Derby said
"Hey! Why don't you both just stop all this talk." Lana raised her voice. Her attention was focused on her two friends right now. She knew they were right but what could she possibly do.
She is not a normal woman and she doesn't want to end up with an ordinary man either. No, she wants a strong and powerful werewolf as her man, even though she knows about Ethan's feeling for her but she just couldn't bring herself to stop her feelings for Kelvin.
Yes, Ethan is strong, wealthy, calm and is her brother's closest friend. She knows her brother would give a hundred percent to their relationship if she told him she has feelings for Ethan but that wasn't the case.
She's been hiding her feelings for Kelvin for so many years. Thinking about it now, she remembered when she first met him.
It was on a bright afternoon, She had went to a mall to get somethings she needed and just entering the mall she saw him pass her side and went out of the mall.
At that time, she had no idea who he was until she got home and told her brother about him. Just by explaining his physiques, Peter already knew who she was talking about and he warned her never to approach him if she wants to still be alive.
Lana was disappointed that day but instead of killing the feelings she had for him, she let it grew and chose to hide it instead. After that day, she had come across him in different place and time but never for once has she approached him.
"Tell me Derby, Why are you with Liam?" Lana asked with annoyed tone.
"I love..." Derby said but Lana cut her off.
"Good, you love him." Turning to Alicia, "You also tell me, why are you with Collins?"
"We're..." Lana cut Alicia too without letting her say her answer.
"You're also in love with him, so why can't I choose the man I love? Why can't I be with the man I love?" Lana threw the question to her friends but in real sense, she was actually asking herself that question.
She knows she always get what she wanted but why, why can't she get this one thing she desperately wants? No, she is not going to accept a defeat like this, she is not going to let another woman be with Kelvin. Either she becomes his woman or no one else.
She made her resolution and shot a hard glare towards Selena. "I'll make him mine just you wait and see."
Meanwhile, after Kelvin and Selena's purpose in the restaurant has been achieved, they both left to the company.
"You can go to the office now and continue with your work, I'll be expecting your feedback when I come back." Kelvin said as they arrived at the company.
"Okay sir." Selena opened the door and came down from his car. "I'll give you a good feedback when you return."
"Incase I don't come back to the office just go home straight. I'll send my driver to come pick you from there." Kelvin said.
'Oh that's true. I totally forgot I was going to start living with this man.' She whispered in her head.
"Okay sir." She nodded and was about walking away.
"I've told you, when we're alone drop the honorifics." Kelvin shot her a warning glare that she read meaning to, "Don't make me repeat myself" and she gulped down her saliva.
Quickly retreating, she hurriedly entered the company building without even taking a look back. All in one day, she had contained many feelings she never thought she had.
Following her with his eyes till she entered the building, Kelvin received a call. "Boss, we have it." He heard the person speak from the other side of the call and he hung up.
Driving his car, he headed towards a direction known to him.
Meanwhile, Selena entered the elevator and just before she could press it, a figure stopped her and entered the elevator.
"Hi, your presentation was superb earlier. I loved it." Selena told Amelia with a smile.
Amelia had just arrived at the company too after going out for lunch when she saw Selena come down from Kelvin's car. The little jealousy and envy she had earlier when she saw Kelvin smile at Selena had increased to hatred.
'Who does she think she is? She's probably not from a wealthy background so what does Kelvin see in her? Shouldn't I be the one to come down from his car? Shouldn't I be the one close to him and not this lowly class.' Her mind flooded with questions and thoughts of envy.
Amelia pressed the elevator floor she was going to and with a wry smile she answered Selena. "Yes, there's possibly no reason why you shouldn't love my presentation. I always put my best in everything and get the best results even when it comes to the man I love."
Selena was lost and confused at Amelia's last line. The man I love?' Why is she telling me this when I don't even know the man she loves and why did she say it like a warning? Did i do anything wrong to offend this woman?" Selena asked herself.
Right now she couldn't afford getting on anyone's bad side and putting her career at a risk. No matter what, she needed to avoid getting in an argument with anyone especially those working in this company and this woman was part of it and to make it more worse, she is a board member.
"I'm sorry did I do something wrong?" Selena wanted to ask but instead she chose to remain silent.
Hearing no reply from her, Amelia wanted to make her claim known to Selena and she was going to do it right here and now whether Selena believes her or not.
"Kelvin is my man so I won't like seeing you both together." She said and Selena's eyes blinked in shock. She couldn't even say anything, what could she possibly say when nothing is coming out of her mouth.
"If you want to be at peace in this company then they are two things you must know. One; Kelvin belongs to me alone and no one is taking him away and two; If you prove stubborn, I'll make sure you regret ever coming to this company" Amelia threatened.
After some few minutes of silence, the elevator opened and Amelia left, leaving a very shocked Selena behind. She didn't even bother telling Selena anything else and felt satisfied within her as she saw Selena's reaction.
"That will keep you away. I just hope you're not stubborn." Amelia muttered to herself as she saw the elevator door close behind her.
