Chapter 102
(Author’s POV)
Noah Everests finally came out of his comfort zone, just to look approachable to Sara. He didn’t want to lose points being all shy and indecisive, so he made genuine and constant efforts to try and start a conversation with her.
He learned basics about business management, in order to strike up a conversation with Sara. He even told her, “Ummm, Sara~, if you don’t mind… ummmm and if you are free can you, can you teach me more about business? I am really interested in that topic p>
Sara was delighted by his request. By now, students, especially males, they hardly tried to talk to her. And plus, she was like an angel, always ready to help, so she at once agreed to his request, “Why not, sure. Why don’t you meet me in the library when you have free time? Just message me and we will meet there p>
And this is how the seed of friendship between them, was sowed.
They would very often meet in the library and would hang out together after that in the cafeteria. He would ask questions to which she would answer thoroughly. Slowly, Noah too started liking business management and wanted to apply for a second degree in it.
The sapling of their friendship was propping day by day and little by little, by Noah’s continuous endeavors.
In between all this, Bella was recovering well. She and Greg would often talk to each other. Greg was a sweet, funny and genuine guy, so they hit it off immediately.
And also, Bella could tell at their first meeting that Noah liked her sister. Like who would let girl snot all over his shirt while crying hysterically. Noah simply stood there without any complain without any disgusting look.
She saw Noah and Greg in an angelic light. After all, they were the ones who had saved her in time.
And seriously, she really disliked her sister’s childhood friend, Caiten Snow. Bella knew that her sister saw Caiten with rose tinted glasses on and always think that he was a good person.
But Bella could totally see Caiten, for who he really was. He was a proud and selfish narcissistic Alpha, who was after her sister. She wanted to tell her sister the truth about Caiten, even tried once, but Caiten was fast and told some premeditated lie to Sara.
That’s why Bella was so adamant for Sara to be in a loving and genuine relationship. She didn’t wanted her sister to live a caged life like a canary. She wanted her sister to be a phoenix, free from Caiten’s hold.
Anyways, the fact of the matter was that she didn’t liked Caiten Snow at all.
In a way, she helped Greg, by telling him indirectly about her sister’s likes and dislikes and preferences. She was rooting for Noah and Sara.
Soon, a month passed by and the day where they all would have a meal arrived.
Bella was beyond excited and thrilled for the dinner date. She booked a fancy fine dine restaurant with a three sixty degree view. As it was not the era of skyscrapers yet, the sky lounge where she booked her table was on fifteenth floor. Nevertheless, the night view was breathtakingly incredible.
It was the morning of that day and Bella took her sister shopping for the said dinner.
She wanted Sara to look perfect. She too wanted to be presentable. Sara, at first really didn’t wanted to go. She said, ’It’s just a simple dinner, so why are you making so much fuss, Bell? Let’s keep it simple p>
“Seriously sis, don’t tell me. You are planning to go in your regular clothes. Yuckk~ I mean your casual clothes are fine for college but for a date, they are ummm nahhhhh, a no go. They are way too casual. We are going out for dinner with the guys. We are not going to attend classes p>
“But my dear little sister, it’s not a date. It’s just dinner with some friends.” Sara shrugged her off. “We don’t have to go shopping for that p>
Bella rolled her eyes at Sara, “You are so dumb in such things, I tell you. That’s why you need me p>
“Aye~, what did you say? I am your elder si~” Sara said sharply.
“I know, I know. You are my big, big sister. Anyways, you are not wearing this today, I am taking you shopping and that’s F-I-N-A-L. No more objections,” Bella concluded.
Sara, not wanting to make a fuss, complied.
The whole day, they went shopping and even prepared gifts for the guys. When they were about to depart from the store, Sara’s phone’s ringtone chimed. She looked at the caller ID and a smile made its way to her face.
“Who’s it?” Bella asked, getting all curious.
Sara didn’t heard her question and answered the call immediately, “Caiten p>
When Bella heard his name, her mood soured in an instant. She tilted her face to the other side and made a disgusted face, ’That jerk again p>
“How are you? You haven’t contacted me for a month. Is everything alright within your pack?” Sara complained. Caiten was her best friend, so she was concerned.
“Ras, I was on an overseas business trip. And the signal was terrible there.” Caiten sounded apologetic.
Sara understood and didn’t complain any further, “So, this means, you are back now p>
“Ummhmm Did you, did you miss me?” Caiten’s voice was a bit suggestive.
Sara casually dismissed it, “Nahhhhh, why will I miss you? Eeek p>
Bella heard her sister’s words and mocked a laugh. She was not interested in their cringy conversation, so she said, “I will wait in the car. You take your time, sis p>
Sara nodded. Caiten heard Bella’s voice and asked, “Was it Bella? Where are you guys, right now? I will pick you up. Then we can go to dinner together p>
Sara replied, “Sorry Cai, we already have dinner plans with some college friends tonight at the Eternal Sky Lounge. Maybe next time, you me and Bell, okay p>
Caiten’s eyebrows creased at what he heard, ’She is declining ’me’, that too, for some low life college friends.’ “Ohhh, college friends hmmm, do I know any of them?” He tried to sound as casual as possible.
“You don’t know them. When you return to college, I will introduce you to them. The guys are really nice, you too will like them.” Sara told him excitedly about her new friends.
Caiten’s eyes shot up as he clenched his fists, “So, you are having dinner with your new guy friends from college.” His knuckles had turned white as he was barely holding his fury.
“Me and Bella” Sara told him casually. “Anyways Cai, I am in the middle of something. I will see you tomorrow, bye p>
“Sa~” Before Caiten could say anything, Sara had already disconnected the call.
Caiten’s eyes were blazing with uncontained fury. He was livid beyond measures. His wolf, Tensen, roared. He immediately mind linked someone, “Jaden, I want to you at my mansion in fifteen minutes p>
“I will be there, Young Alpha,” a rough male voice replied to Caiten.
Caiten banged his hand in the nearby wall as he clenched his jaw.
On the other side, Bella asked, “What was Caiten saying p>
“Nothing, he invited us to dinner, tonight. I told him we will go next time,” Sara told her matter of factly.
Bella made a weird face, “Who wants to have dinner with him p>
“BELLA ALLEN. Bell, I know you don’t like Caiten very much. But he is trying to make efforts.” Sara tried to make her sister understand.
Bella didn’t give two shits about that asshole, Caiten. But she didn’t wanted to argue about him with his sister and spoil the mood. After all, they were going on a dinner date with Noah and Greg.
“Okay, anyways. Have you told Noah about the time?” Bella changed the topic.
“Yes, I have already told him and asked to convey the same to Greg. He said they will meet us at the restaurant’s entrance.” Sara relayed Noah’s message to Bella.
Bella clapped her hands in delight, “Can’t wait for tonight p>
Sara smiled at her sister’s words and they took off, back to their apartment.
Greg was convincing Noah to wear a suit for tonight’s dinner date. But the latter has adamantly shut down Greg’s suggestion, saying, “It is just a normal dinner, Greg. And I AM NOT WEARING THAT FANCY THING p>
Greg rolled his eyes at his friend, “Noah, you are, jeeezzz. This is your time to shine. This is the time you dress up to impress your girl. You have a killer physique and a perfectly tailored suit will highlight your well-built body p>
“Shut up, I am not wearing it and that’s final.” Noah looked at him with a glare.
Greg frowned but didn’t push him further. Then he suggested, “Okay, no suits, but you have to wear formals and I am not taking no for an answer p>
Noah made a ’whatever’ face.
