Chapter 12: Contract [6]
Knox quickly gathered his travel bag and took everything he could put inside. His head was running many scenarios about why Azrael asked him to work for him. Maybe he remembered him and he wanted to torture him for hitting his head with the tiger headpiece?
What about the 'omega bloom' they were talking about? He wasn't releasing a bloom when that happened! It was a public place, so he certainly made sure not to release...
Knox stiffened after remembering that he, indeed, released pheromones that time. He did it to release the pent-up pheromones in his body.
"Oh, f*ck."
But he was sure it wasn't a bloom!
He continued packing his things up. Only to freeze the second time. He just remembered he signed a contract and received advanced payment which he had used up already! How can he think of running away now?!
His boss looks like someone who won't let anyone who crossed him!
Knox shuddered upon recalling those sharp glaring eyes. He wearily slumped on the floor and kicked the bag away. He pulled his hair in frustration.
He talked to himself, 'No, let's think properly, Knox. That man doesn't seem to know that he was that omega yet. Let's try to make excuses, and beg to have the contract terminated. But if I do that, I have to return the payment and pay for the breach of contract...but, I'm broke!'
If he borrowed money, then he might be able to pay but that would mean another debt on his shoulders. But would it be better to drown in debt than be involved with a dangerous man? He recalled Franz telling him about some men looking like thugs or gangsters asking around about the tiger mascot he used.
If those people were working for Azrael, then he really couldn't stay with him. And he just found out that it was because of his pheromones that his boss was suffering from an unstable pheromone condition.
