ARAIA'S P.O.V
This won't do.
I tried to squeeze everything I could get from Geronimo but he's not helping me at all.
After what he said, he left me in that place, wondering what's the truth. He didn't even give me a little clue to help me.
Ha…
This is frustrating! I was instructed that I should rest for a couple of weeks but I am not resting at all.
How could I rest when I am not sure whether I still have my job when I come back?
I can't lose my job! Firstly, because I am avoiding going back to where I was and that is being on the same level as Giselle, second is I need to have a higher salary that I can use to find a way to go back to Earth.
That's why I can't rest right now! I need to secure my position here before anything else!
It's been three days already since that incident. Although there is still no news of Alpha Alejandro getting a new assistant, I can't sit here leisurely.
Come to think of it , I'm still embarrassed about what happened on the day of the incident because of what Alpha Alejandro did and I am still confused as to why he did that.
Is he right in his head?
Alpha who is respected by everyone…Besides, who would carry his assistant or personal made in front of many people when he could just order someone to do so?
Wait…
Is it possible that Alpha Alejandro likes me?
"..."
No-no that is impossible! I'm not someone he would take a liking to!
But what could be the reason for his actions? My head hurts whenever I think about it because that's just unreasonable and unexpected as well.
Or maybe he just wants to do it so that all of the maids like Giselle would harass me more?
Maybe not, he's not that type of werewolf, for me.
But what could be the reason? Should I ask him directly?
"Argh!" I hate this!
I am not good with guessing games!
Alright, since I can't find a reasonable answer then I have decided that I will look for it myself.
I started to fix myself making sure that I look presentable from head to toe, I even covered my sprained ankle by wearing high shoes, and slowly walked towards Alpha Alejandro's office.
I can still feel a little pain in my ankle but this is nothing. Let's just let aside my concern about his attitude, I needed to confirm that I still have my job more than anything else.
Thankfully there is no one in the hallway so I don't have to bump into someone, especially Giselle.
I don't need any inconvenience right now, when I am finally on Alpha Alejandro's floor I went towards his office.
No one is here other than me as usual.
I stood in front of Alpha Alejandro's room and breathed in and breathed out before I decided to knock.
"Come in."
I heard Alpha Alejandro's voice after a few seconds. Every move that I am making is making me nervous but I still insist on going on. While opening the door I keep my head low so I won't meet Alpha's eyes.
That would make me more nervous!
"Why are you here?" He asks me after I am completely inside his office.
"Uhm…"
Why is it hard to say it?
"I-I ahm…I am here to inform the Alpha that I can now work."
Phew! Finally!
That's what I want to ask, of course I won't ask him about his feelings for me, I am not bold enough to face him after asking that.
I feel like when I ask him that I won't be able to get my job back and he will throw me away as far as he can…
Well, that's just my imagination…
I waited for his response although it's taking too long. I still keep my head low, I am sure that he is looking at me right now. I can feel it.
I can feel him looking at me but why isn't he saying anything? Don't tell me he is not in a good mood right now…
Oh no…
That would be dangerous! First of all, I didn't follow his order to rest for a couple of weeks and now I am here telling him that I can work.
He must be mad at me for disobeying his order!
Sht. Why didn't I think of it before coming here?!
I shut my eyes tightly, this is not what I'm expecting… How should I say that I don't intend to disobey him? That I just want to work?
Oh sht.
"Come here."
I instantly opened my eyes when I heard him, I looked at him and saw him intensely staring at me while his hand was tapping the table in front of him.
Does he want me to go there?
I didn't hesitate, I walked towards his table but I just made a mistake.
My eyes widened, I forgot that I sprained my ankle and he surely saw me walk like a zombie.
"See? You're not fully healed." There's an emphasis in his voice.
Sht.
For the second time, I'm embarrassed. How could I be so stupid?!
I ruined my plan, my own plan! Now what should I do?
"I-I…" What now?
Should I kneel and beg for him to let me work again?
Will that work?
I was about to get on my knees when I heard him sigh.
Oh no, did I angered him?
I steal glances to see his reaction but he's still intensely staring at me. What's with his stares? Why do I feel restless whenever he stares at me, especially when our eyes meet?
What would happen to my plan if he didn't want me to work anymore for I disobeyed him?
Oh God…
"Why do you want to work that much?" He asks.
Should I- no, I definitely cannot tell him what is my plan about…
Let's just create an excuse for now…
"I-I only have this job…and I don't have a place to go when I lose this job…" That is true though.
Should I add more for him to believe me?
"Who told you that you will lose your job?"
I shook my head, "No one, Alpha…"
No one told me that but he can't blame me as I am just a mere assistant who is replaceable, and to think that I can't work for a couple of weeks or months is enough reason for him to replace me.
No businessman will let his assistant rest without replacing it even just for a while. He needed assistance that is why he hired me in the first place.
I got goosebumps when I heard his laugh.
What's wrong?
"I will not repeat this again. You will rest until you are fully healed and come back when you are ready to work. Do you understand?"
But-!
I need this work now! I can't let this chance slide, not while I can still stand!
"I c-can now work, Alpha…" I finally said while still looking at my hands. This is making me nervous…
I just hope that he won't get mad at me for countering his words… I'm just desperate…
"This-!" I heard him hissed. This is the same aura that he has when he is mad.
Sht! He's mad!
I shut my eyes tightly, looks like this is the end for me!
"Alright."
"..."
What?
I slowly open my eyes and look at him, he's still looking at me but something in him changed, I just can't figure it out.
But one thing's for sure, it's not the terrifying aura that he had before.
I watched him as he walked towards the chair that I sometimes used before.
What is he going to do with that? He's going to use that? It's mine though…
I followed every move that he's making, his muscled chest that can be seen because of his partially opened clothes didn't escape my eyes.
Woah…
Those are perfect…
"Like it?"
I snapped back to reality when he spoke.
Dmnit.
He is now looking at me with a smirk on his face, what did I just do?
"Please forgive my disrespectful behavior, Alpha…" I closed my eyes because of embarrassment.
How could I do that Infront of him?
"Sit."
Huh?
I looked at him and saw him pointing on the chair that I used to use that is now beside his table.
What- He wants me to sit on that chair, which is very close to him?!
But why?!
I was about to ask him when I saw him raise his eyebrow, that expression on his face also changed into something that I don't want to see so instead of asking him, I went straight to the chair and sat on it.
I shouldn't ask him any more questions if I want to stay alive. I shouldn't forget how he deals with the things that he dislikes…
When I'm fully sitting on the chair, I observe him but he's not moving at all, although I can feel him staring at me but he's not doing anything other than that.
What's on his mind?
After a few seconds he started to do his work again without saying anything.
Uhm…
What am I supposed to do here?
Despite all the questions that I had in mind, I never interfered with his work nor asked him about my purpose here, instead, I just watched him as he worked on the documents on his table, quietly and patiently.
MY BUTT IS ITCHY…
How do I say it to him? It's been a long time- maybe a decade that I'm sitting here causing my butt to became like that… Kidding.
But it totally feels like one because I'm not doing anything other than watch him. It's almost night and he's still working non-stop.
Since he's not saying anything, should I just scratch my butt secretly? Will he be mad if I do that?
Argh. I'm kidding but I do feel like doing it because of boredom!
How long should I stay here? Am I even important here?
It's not like I am helping him because he is not letting me do anything at all. Does he want me to supervise him or something?
Maybe he wants me to watch him as he works on the documents so that I won't have any errors when I finally work on it?
If that is the case then does this mean he won't let it slide if I had error in the future?
Woah. Let's not think about it. I'll do my best anyway.
But it's kind of funny that I'm still watching him even though I've been here since earlier. Well, I can't blame myself, especially my eyes for admiring this tall, dark and handsome man in front of me.
I can't seem to move on from admiring him, if only he's not killing anyone then he would be my type.
Come to think of it, now that I think about it, life here is way too different from life on Earth. Although there are still similarities like there are parts on earth where they are still hunting animals to eat , I would compare it if someone, especially from the younger generations, goes here for sure it would be hard for them to survive, especially that there's no cellphone here or internet and such.
I remember how embarrassed I was when I shouted to Freya and the elder to call the cops…
How are they now?
I still can't believe that they betrayed me, although it's not confirmed yet but…
Ha…
"Are you bored?"
I snapped back when I heard Alpha's voice.
"N-not at all!" That shocked me!
"Are you sure?"
I nodded but then I realized that he's not looking at me, he's looking at his works.
"Y-yes…"
He didn't say anything after that.
Seriously? How long should I stay here?
