Chapter 48: Trapped by the devil
"What did you say?!" Athan rose from his seat abruptly. He heard something ridiculous that his butt pushed itself upward and made him stand. He was in the middle of an interview with one of the models they were trying to hire for their upcoming launch, but his temporary secretary came in and whispered the news to him.
"Mr. Del Valle of the DV Group would like to meet you, sir," the secretary repeated.
The secretary didn’t need to elaborate on who the guest was as there was only one Del Valle that would seek for Athan. He looked at the employee as he thought of that. "Tell him I’m in the middle of an interview and if he needs to meet me, set an appointment first."
The female secretary hesitated, "Sir, he looks like he’ll explode anytime. I guided him to your office already—
"What?! Why would you do that without my permission?" Athan seethed in dismay.
The secretary flinched and stammered, "H-He’s scary..." her voice trailed off as she remembered how intimidating the CEO of the large group was, looking down at her waiting for her to leave and call for her boss. She couldn’t refuse or even stand her ground and tell the man that he needed to set a meeting first.
But the secretary also didn’t expect that his boss would get mad at her just because he let the other alpha in his office. She was expecting to be treated kindly like how the boss treated his executive secretary. So, she was really eager and excited when HR asked her to stand in for Knox temporarily.
Athan sighed frustratedly. Somehow, it seemed like he knew why the man visited already. He had already forgotten the woman sitting across him, sipping coffee elegantly as though her ears didn’t perk up upon hearing Azrael’s name.
She faked a cough to steal Athan’s attention again, "You should go and talk to him if he’s already in your office, Mr. Horace. I can just wait here," she flashed her pearly white teeth in a beautiful and innocent smile.
Athan sighed, "I’ll be back soon, Ms. Elise,"
Elise waved her slender fingers and replied, "Take your time."
