OLIVE
I got dressed in a blue off-shouldered dress that stopped right below my knee. I had decided to always dress like a lady now. I packed my hair into a messy bun. Since I wasn't good at makeup, I left my face. I wore tiger ankle-trapped heels. When I was sure I was good to go, I left my room. Nolan sat in the dining room with Ella and Nigel. They stared at me. "You look gorgeous" Bella complimented
I smiled. "Thanks"
"Wow. Someone is finally comfortable with female clothing" Ella said
I rolled my eyes. "Haven't you always wanted it that way?"
She chuckled. "Of course I do. I am so happy you finally embraced your sexuality. Can't you see you look so gorgeous?". I smiled. "Or what do you think, Nolan?. Isn't she beautiful?"
I stared at Nolan to see his reaction. He nodded. "She is"
I batted my lashes. That's all he could say?. "Oh, mine. You look breathtaking Olive" Nigel said from behind.
I sighed. "Thanks"
Nolan stood up. "Is everyone ready to go?"
Nigel nodded. "Sure"
We got to the parking lot. "Ella goes and Olive goes with me," Nolan said. "Bella you go with Nigel"
"Don't worry. I will go with Nigel and Bella. You both need your time together" Ella said
I flushed. "Someone is blushing" Nigel teased
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't blushing"
He chuckled. "I never said you were but since you accepted I think I will go with that"
Nolan groaned. "Can we please go? We are running late"
I sighed. Ella joined Nigel and Belal in another car. Leaving Nolan and me. I made to open the door but he opened it before I could. I entered. He closed the door and turned to the other side. He entered and started the car. "Sit belt please". I nodded. He stared at me for the last time and finally drove the car out.

Everyone kept staring at me as I walked from the parking lot into the company. Bethany couldn't hide her surprise too. Though I have been wearing female cloth for a while now, today was different. It wasn't like the other days. You look different" Bethany said
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I know"
She chuckled. "It fits you so perfectly"
I smiled. "Thanks". Everyone at the office complimented my look except Nolan who pretended to be carried away with work. So many times I entered his office looking for what isn't missing just to let him see me so he could say something but he pretended not to see me. Sometimes, I caught him staring at me but when I look at him, he would focus on the papers on his table. All I wanted was for him to say a few words. You look beautiful or maybe your cloth is nice. But he never said a word. I longed and wished he would say it. You might call me an attention seeker and a desperate person but hearing those was important to me. I picked up the file from the table. This will be the last time I will try to make him compliment me. If he doesn't I won't try again. I walked to the door and stand. I breathed in and out and finally opened the door. He was standing by the shelf picking a file, I guess. "Olive, you don't have to keep coming into my office. I know you look gorgeous today"
I flushed in embarrassment. He knew my reason for coming here?. He knew my reason for coming into his office all this while. Why did he spend so much time before saying it?. I rolled my eyes. "I-i did not come here for that. I-i came to give you this file"
He turned and walked closer to me. I moved backward. He smiled and sat down on the table. "I know you want me to compliment you. I..."
He raised my hand. "No, no, no. I don't want you to compliment me"
He chuckled. "But I already did"
I sighed. "Maybe I wanted that"
He pulled me closer to him and I froze. "W-what are you doing?"
He smirked. "What you always wanted". I furrowed my brows. He placed his hand around my waist and I shivered.
"W-what... W-what are you doing". He smirked and placed his hand on my face. He trailed his hand from my face to my neck. "N-Nolan"
He smiled. "I can't wait to mark you right here" his voice was hoarse and husky which gave me shivers in a really good way.
I tried to move back but he held me. "I know you want it". He placed his hand on my cheeks and blew air on my face. I shivered and he smiled. He stood up and moved away from me. "I thought you were strong?"
I groaned. "W-what are you talking about"
He chuckled. "I tested you and you failed"
I widened my eyes. Y-you, test me?"
He chuckled. "I am only joking. Go back to your work post"
I furrowed my brows. "You..."
"Come on, go"
I sighed. "Ok, boss"
He smiled. "You don't have to call me boss"
I batted my lashes. "I don't have to call you boss?"
"Yes. You've spent a while in this company. and for the past few days, you have shown a good and trustworthy character. You can call me Nolan"
I chuckled. "Wow. That's nice"
"Time to go"
I smiled. "Ok. Bye"

I walked into my room from the bathroom with a towel around my body. I wanted to sit on the bed when I noticed a parcel on the bed. I picked it and opened it. I brought out the things in the parcel and dropped them on the bed. There was a red off-shoulder flowing gown and black platform heels. Inside a little box were a silver necklace, earrings, and a wristwatch. I batted my lashes. Who kept this in my room?. There was a small piece of paper too. I opened it. Get dress and follow the red flower by the wall. I raised my head and saw a flower attached to the wall. I blinked. Who did all these?. I was curious to know who did it, so I got dressed in the red gown and heels. Wore the necklace, earrings, and wristwatch. I followed the red flower until I got to the balcony. Nolan was seated. I blinked. So Nolan dropped the stuff on my bed?. I walked closer to him. He stood up. "Come". He stretched his hand and I held it. He pulled one of the chairs backward. I sat down and he did too.
I watched him poured some wine into the glass cups. He handed me a glass cup and sipped, from the other one. He sighed. "Olive" he called. I raised her head. "The cloth looks good on you"
I smiled . "thanks"
He sighed. There was a moment or two of silence followed and I wondered why. "Nolan" I called
"Yes?"
"W-why did you call me here. I mean why the cloth, the shoes, earrings, wristwatch, and necklace?"
He blinked. "Just wanted us to have a good time"
I sighed. "Ok
"Olive. I have something to tell you"
I furrowed my brows. "You do?"
He nodded. "It's very important I tell you"
I shrugged. "Ok"
He sighed. "I..". His phone rang and he stopped talking. He stood up. Excuse me"
I nodded. Ok"
He left and I rested on the chair. I sat up to drink from the wine. I drank from the wine and rested on the chair again. I closed my eyes and my mind drifted to what Nolan said. I wondered what he wanted to tell me. Why will he make me dress in these expensive cloth?. Whatever he has to say must be very important. Maybe extremely important. I opened my eyes and close them again. Why is he taking so long to return?. Who called him?. For what?. Different thoughts ran through my mind. I sat up and sighed. I will just wait for him to come back.

It's over thirty minutes since Nolan left to receive his call. I was beginning to miss him and also to wonder if everything was all right. I stood up and stood up. I could see a nice view. I smiled. Now I know why Nolan likes to sit here. I rested on the wall and smiled. I could see some pack members walking about. I got sight of a couple holding hands. I smiled. One day Nolan and I would walk together holding hands. "And the ruthless alpha?" My subconscious mind said
I rolled my eyes. "What I have for the ruthless alpha is a flare not love"
"A flare?. Do you call it a flare?. I think what you have for Nolan should be called a flare. You've told the ruthless alpha you loved him but you haven't said a word to Nolan. How do you call that love?. If you love him, you will tell him"
I sighed. My subconscious mind is right. If I do love Nolan as I claim, I should be able to tell him I love him. I need to tell him that I love him, cause I do. I'm in love with him!!!.
