Chapter 255: Before the other shoe drops
Andrew was holding out.
Several times over the last few houses he had almost phoned it in. Had almost snapped and let loose on the other guy. Mated or not, Andrew was sure this motherfucker was a true alpha. The way he was behaving, his tone with Andrew, and the way he was looking at Maxwell like a damn breeding horse all screamed true alpha behaviour. At least the true alpha behaviour that Andrew was used to. Andrew hated it.
He was also making fun of the things Andrew was complaining about. He was making faces, making comments, rolling his eyes at every little thing Andrew wasn’t quite happy with. Andrew really worried that this was what the whole agency was full of.
Conceited assholes who thought that they were better than their clients. Andrew knew, hell, he hoped that maybe they had treated Kim differently. Maybe she had a perfectly suitable person as her realtor. A sensible person who knew better than to piss off their newest clients so that they could keep retaining business. Andrew, at his wits end, even sent Kim a text, trying to get the name of the person she normally worked with.
She responded back to him pretty quickly, and let him know that she normally worked with a female alpha, but she was unmated. That was where a light went off. That was where Andrew thought that they might have fucked up. Specifying that they needed someone who was mated might have shot them in the foot.
But also, the other realtors had sent someone who was a beta. Who had been kind, and considerate, and hadn’t mocked Andrew at every opportunity. They hadn’t eyed up Maxwell like he was going to be their next favourite snack either. They had been respectful, so Andrew wasn’t so sure.
At this point, Andrew was even doubting if this lump of shit was even good at his job. Had he even found these houses that suited Andrew and Maxwell pretty well? Or had someone else done it for him and he had swooped in and took it from them? Taken credit for their work all to mock and belittle another man while trying to flirt with their partner as they tried to buy a house.
Andrew’s blood was boiling by the time they got to the house that Andrew and Maxwell were even here for. The house in Kim and Jenny’s neighbourhood.
"So this is one of the more secluded, well monitored gated communities in the area. Pretty much every house has a private security team and the houses were designed by the plot owners. This is one of the first houses to go for sale. It’s actually a miracle you were even allowed to see it, since you need the approval of the previous owner to view it." Andrew’s teeth squeaked as he pressed them together, holding his anger back.
