Chapter 225
(Author’s POV)
Myra was stumped by those girls’ conversation. ’Alaric Everests, COO of Everests Cooperation? No way that can’t be Right.’ These words echoed inside her mind as she started trembling at this sick coincidence.
The girls were laughing and ogling at Alaric and Dion’s figures as they marched forward, giving off those cold and aloof CEO vibes, which did little to nothing to conceal their dashing magnetism.
Myra’s eyes darted in the very direction and an electric current bolted through her entire body. Being stunned was an understatement, she was stupefied. ’What the~ how could it be them? What kind of a sick joke is this? Why is Alaric doing here? And he isn’t alone… Dion is also with him. What are they both doing here? Are they here for me? Is it about Brave or that mate thing?’ Myra’s mind was racing a mile a minute.
“Sis, what happened? Why are you shaking?” Wendy got concerned as she could feel Myra’s hand shaking from where she held it. “Is it because of the crowd p>
“I~ I Myra was having difficulty forming any words. ’No… pull yourself together Myra. Get a hold of yourself. I can’t let them see me and hinder all my hard work. I have worked really hard and I am so close to achieving my goal. I have to hide. I can’t let them see me. I can’t let them see me p>
“Sis say something?” Wendy looked at Myra worriedly.
With few deep and long breaths, Myra calmed herself and her thoughts down and answered, “I am~ fine. It is just suffocating here. Let’s go that way.” Saying this, she ducked, concealing her presence and started pulling Wendy to the other side, far away from the Everests brothers, “Excuse me please make way… ouch… please excuse us. Make way p>
On the other side, both Dion and Alaric were searching for the unique scent of Myra from all the countless wild and intense female pheromones that was scattered in the atmosphere. Few fangirls approached the two of them. Their faces tinted crimson. Their eyes filled with shyness. In a sickly sweet voice, one of them spoke, standing in front of Alaric, “Excuse me You are… you are just my type. Can I~… get your phone number,” saying this she lowered her head, acting bashfully as she extended her hand which was holding her unlocked phone, showing the screen.
Both Amanda and Marion gasped in shock as the former tried to intervene, but Alaric didn’t give her any chance as he, quite unceremoniously, rejected the girl’s advances. He wrinkled his nose in annoyance and spouted, “Out of my way, you imbecile,” his words harsh yet decisive, which made the one pursuing him tremble.
The other girls, probably her friends, who were cheering for her just a minute ago, all had a look of disbelief at Alaric’s choice of words. With tear filled and veiny eyes, she shouted, “You are so heartless,” turned around and sprinted to the other direction.
Dion commented, “You should have toned it down a little, bro. That girl was way too cute for that harsh of a scolding,” saying this, he clicked his tongue playfully.
Alaric glared at him, disinterestedly and walked in the opposite direction.
Few other girls, who were waiting for the opportunity to ask Dion, approached him when they heard his words. “Handsome guy, give me your number, ahh~” she was bold and upfront, confidence oozing from her being.
Dion beamed at her, giving her one of his charismatic smiles and said coolly, “I would have love to but my apologies lady, I am already taken. Now if you will excuse me.” Saying this, he did not even glance her way and walked off, the same direction where Alaric went to.
Amanda and Marion followed them, without uttering anything else.
Myra somehow made it out of the crowd with Wendy. Oliver, William and Sandra were waiting for them. Oliver inquired, “Ms. Miracle, are you both alright p>
Myra nodded and Wendy explained, “It is wild there. They are in a complete frenzy. Sis, nearly got a panic attack p>
“Baby, you look pale. Should we go to a doctor?” Sandra asked in concern.
“Mom, it is nothing serious. I am fine. And also, we have a flight to catch up. Mr. Grey, please, lead the way,” she urged them.
“Are you sure, Ms. Miracle? We can arrange a doctor at the VIP lounge,” Oliver suggested out of curtesy as well as faint concern.
“No need. Just lead the way, please her last word enunciated with stress. She wanted to get on that plane bound to Esteria as soon as possible.
Oliver nodded in understanding, “If you say so,” and then started walking towards the air terminal.
Myra sighed as all of them started walking. Her eyes darted around to see, if Alaric or Dion had seen her or not.
Alaric, was he was walking, halted his steps in the middle as Amanda, who caught up with him asked, “COO Everests, do you need something p>
He didn’t utter a single word, just lowered his head to look at his pale blue and ivory sneakers, one of which was tilted upwards as something was stuck beneath it. He looked at what it was and a silver cheap charm bracelet’s hook was stuck at one of his sneakers outsole.
Alaric crouched down to remove it but as soon as he grabbed it, his mind went blank. ’This seems oddly familiar,’ he thought.
Alex who had traced the scent of Myra yelled, “I know who does it belong to. It is our mate’s bracelet. She always wears this in her left arm. It is the same one. I was telling you. She is here right now p>
Holding the bracelet in his hand, Alaric sniffed it and there is was, the scent that could only belong to the person who had made him restless from these past few weeks. It was definitely Myra’s. He was now sure of it. ’But what will she be doing here? Is she also crazy like these stupid freaks? Is she here to see that Cabal or whatever guy?’ As these thoughts took over, an unknown feeling took over him. It was annoying and frustrating for Alaric as he realized that Myra was here to see another male.
Getting up, he started searching for her amongst the crowd.
Dion asked, “What happened, Al? What’s that in your hand? Ohhh A girl’s bracelet wait a minute… I have seen it before. Doesn’t this belong to~” he stopped midway as his doubt was cleared. Drey muttered, ’Myra is, for sure, at the airport. We can’t miss this chance to finally see her. Let’s find her quickly p>
“Al, you guys go ahead. I have just seen a friend. I will meet her~… ahem I will catch up with him and meet you at the hotel,” spouting this as an excuse, he dashed away, in search of Myra.
The next second, Alaric also said, “Amanda, Marion, you both go to the hotel. I have something to deal with first.” Saying this, he disappeared into the crowd as well.
Amanda was stunned. Alaric, who despised these crowded mess was going inside again. For sure, he has been behaving strangely from the past few days. As his long-time secretary, she could totally tell that something was off about him. But she wasn’t the one to gossip, so as per Alaric’s orders, she started walking away towards the exited.
Marion was left standing. When she released what had happened and saw her senior moving, she scurried behind and caught up to her, asking, “Should we just go like that to the hotel? All alone? Won’t we be in trouble? The people are chaotic and wild here p>
“COO has ordered us. We have to follow his words,” Amanda replied curtly, with a no-nonsense tone. She wasn’t worried for Alaric at all, or rather if she had to worry for someone it had to be those girls who would try to pounce on him. She has seen too much off Alaric’s cold and unbothered side to worry about him.
“I didn’t know about that some celebrity is coming today, otherwise I would have done necessary arrangements. I apologize, Mr. Miracle, Mrs. Miracle,” Oliver said, feeling ashamed.
“You have nothing to feel sorry for. This isn’t your fault, Mr. Grey. Neither of us knew about it,” William replied with a soft and assuring smile.
Myra kept looking here and there as Wendy, when she noticed Myra’s strange behavior asked, “Sis, what are you looking for? Is there someone in the crowd you know p>
“Uhh~… I~ I I was just checking that girl’s dress. The color and design look nice,” Myra made another excuse as she pointed out to some random fangirl.
Wendy followed her line of sight and her mouth twitched, “You like that? Seriously p>
Th girl was wearing a radium hued orange and pink dress. It was too flashy and eye blinding for Myra’s taste.
Myra looked at the girl and started laughing awkwardly, “Hahaha it looks refreshing. Something new p>
