Chapter 116
“Rosy, my office, NOW! I’m not asking this time” he started dragging
me into his office.
“Greg, you know where the team meeting office is. Lilly will meet
you there. I’ll join you soon,” I called out before Blake shut the door
behind us.
“What the fuck?! What is going on with you today? I mean, I
understood you being mad this morning, but this. His openly flirting
with you, and you’re being sweet about it?!” He exclaimed, pulling us
into the file room so no one could see us.
“Blakey, he didn’t know. Why are you being like this? You know I
love you. He can say and do whatever he wants. It doesn’t interest me.
I’m just nice because Pops has asked me to help him, that’s all.” I
grabbed his hand and put it on my cheek.
Blake closed his eyes and took a breath in. He suddenly grabbed my
waist and pulled me close, burying his face into the crook of my neck.
I felt I’m taking a deep breath in, sniffing me. I knew he wanted my
scent. He explained to me how my scent is soothing for him and
calmed his wolf down.

why but something just feels off, and my wolf is very anxious today.”
His muffled voice had regret in it.
I hugged him tightly “it’s okay, baby. What’s wrong. Anything I can
help with?”
He shook his head. “No, Angel. Just stay cautious and if, at any
point, you feel as though somethings off, use the pull to call me as I
showed you. I want you to stay close to the building so I can keep an
eye on you, okay?” He held me at arm’s length and stared down at me.
“Okay, baby. Anything you want. I promise to be on my best
behavior. Is it okay if I go now, please? I have that team meeting, and
I really have to be there” I kissed him on the cheek.
He nodded and bent his head to capture my lips. I honestly couldn’t
get enough of his lips. It was soft and gentle. His kisses always made
my knees weak and my world spin.
་
He pulled away and licked his lips.
“Go before I pull your clothes off,” his husky voice interrupted my
trance.
I quickly pulled away from him and walked out of his office, grinning
ear to ear.

“Great job, everyone. I’m very impressed with your presentation.
Jeremy, you’ve outdone yourself on this project. You have really
pulled your team together, and you all gel really well.” I praised and
watched all of their faces light up.
“Alright, put the documents on my table, and I’ll have it signed and
ready for you in the morning. Good job!”
They all applauded and cheered. I picked up my folder and motioned
Greg to follow me.
“Miss Peters,” Jeremy called.
“We’re all going to the new bar for drinks after work just to cool off
before we head to New Shores. It’s just on the other side of our
building. Would you like to join us? Greg, you’re invited too.”
“Oh yes, I would love too” Greg sounded a little too eager.
“I’ll pop round for one drink. Blake and I are meant to be going cake
tasting, so I can’t stay long” I smiled at Jeremy. I did want to join
them; however, I had to lie to keep up the story I made for Greg. But
they were an exceptional team, and like all my teams, I liked to
celebrate with them when they did good work.

“Cool, we shall see you there!” He smiled, and everyone started
collecting their things.
I walked out of the office with Greg on my heels. I stopped in front
for Blake’s off.
“One sec, Greg” I walked into Blake’s office. He was busy with some
more files on his table.
“Baby, will you be long?” I asked.
He looked up with his tired eyes. “Umm yeah, maybe. I’ve got a
conference call with some investors. Do you want to take the car
home? I’ll get a taxi” he started pulling his keys out.
“No, no, you take your time. There’s a new bar behind the building.
Jeremy’s team is going down for drinks. You okay if I go with them?
It’s an open area, and I’m not far from here. Just call me when you’re
done, and you can pick me from there.”
“Okay, Angel. Please be safe. If there’s anything wrong, signal me
okay. I love you” he smiled at me. His smile was not reaching his eyes.
What was with him today? Had something happened? He was fine
this morning.

I smiled at him, “I love you too,” and walked out of his office.
Greg had already made his way to my office.
“Boss, you going to the drinks?” Lilly met me in the corridor.
“Yeah. But for a bit.”
“Okay, I’ll go with you. Hey, can I talk to you alone?” Lilly said in a
lower voice.
“Yeah,” and walked into the staff room with her. She closed the door
behind her.
“That Greg guy, his weird. I don’t get a good vibe from him.”
“What did he do?” I asked, stepping closer to Lilly.
“Nothing, Greg just gives me this look that makes me
uncomfortable. Even the way he looks at you, I don’t like it,” she
confessed.
“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on it. If there anything, you have to tell me
ya?” She nodded and smiled at me. If Greg did anything stupid,
regardless of who it was too, Blake would chop him up.

His eyes were still tired and clouded with some uncertainty. For a
second, I was tempted just to stay back and sit with him, but I also
needed to be with my team. I was sure Blake would understand. I
waved at him, and we got into the lift.
