Chapter 323: Moving day
Andrew didn’t get caught. He put on a great act that he hadn’t done a single thing. He’d just gone for tea. He hadn’t just taken one of the large weights off of his shoulders and pretty much just put it into someone else’s hands until they molded it into something beautiful and sparkly that he could give to Maxwell.
So, the week went by, and now the weekend was upon them. Andrew was feeling confident, happy, pleased with himself. He’d gotten away with it. He felt so sneaky. Was this how parents felt when they hid presents from their kids? This was nice.
Their weekend wasn’t a slow one though. It was going to be two very big days full of bossing others around, er, Maxwell bossing other people around. Andrew’s task was to unpack everything that they would need right away and keep everything else tucked away in rooms that weren’t being touched right away.
There was a reason for this chaos so soon. Maxwell was insistent that he wanted to live in the new house at least a few days first before Richard moved in. Not because of any ’this is my house first’ reasons, but because he wanted to know all the places that he couldn’t smell Andrew. All the places he could hide, essentially.
Maxwell was convinced that Andrew’s smell was going to be a problem to Richard when he moved in. Andrew couldn’t exactly say that that wasn’t going to be the case. It was a worry that Andrew had as well, and Maxwell had a uniquely omega view on this. He was going to trust him on this.
So Andrew agreed with him. That meant, as soon as they knew Richard’s discharge date from the capable hands of his Doctors, they were in rush mode. And that date had been announced rather quickly too. Richard was doing quite well, which meant, crunch weekend.
Hence the reason why Maxwell had been in contact and yelling at the contractors earlier in the week. All week. Honestly, ever since they bought the place officially. Maxwell had been arguing and bickering with these contractors the whole time. Andrew was actually convinced that he just liked to bicker with them.
Andrew found out why when he’d stepped into the new house while the moving company pulled up the truck behind them and the contractors were busy at work like little bees.
They were all alphas.
Every single last one of the members of the contracted construction team were alphas. As an omega...it must have been quite the power trip. Andrew was sure that Maxwell was used to being able to boss others around, but at the same time...
Now that Andrew knew what he assumed was up, he could notice the way Maxwell’s eyes sparkled just a little bit more as he watched the alphas move about. Sweating, groaning, complaining as Maxwell complained about the work they were doing.
