"Are you tired?" whisper Alpha hugging the body of his wife who is still at the seams.
"Fairly tired."
"I'm sorry if it keeps you tired."
"There's no need to apologize just for this, All. Because I like it too" Emery replied, burying her face in her husband's chest and comforting her there.
"Sleep."
"Then what about you? Aren't you going to sleep?" asked Emery with a heavy voice, unable to resist sleepiness.
"I have to do something."
"Work?"
"Hmm, I'm going to the study for a bit. It won't be long."
"Alright," Emery's nod secured his body under the warm thick blanket, not even taking long, Alpha already felt the regular breathing of his wife.
Emery fell asleep quite fast, not even moving the slightest bit as Alpha let go of his embrace, and again covered his wife's innocent body with a blanket, before getting up and reaching for the pajamas to wear.
"Good night, my Cherry" whispered Alpha once more, peeping at his wife's forehead before grabbing the phone on the nightstand and stepping out of the room into his study, which still seemed a mess. Clothes scattered everywhere, even the clothes in his wife still scattered on the sofa and floor.
Alpha puts on a smile while picking up one by one his clothes and his wife's clothes and gathers them to the bottom out of the pantry to fetch mineral water while pressing a number inside his current phone hold on.
"Good night, Mr. Alpha,"
Darren's voice welcomed at the end of the call.
"You can come here now? There's something I want to talk about, you can be with Axel."
Alpha again stepped into the study room with a bottle of whisky in his hand.
"Of course, I'll pick him up and go right now."
"Hmm, da n. don't let Yoon know."
"Yes, sir."
The call was interrupted, and a visible Alpha stood in front of his study window. Waving the curtains so as not to block his view. Occasionally seen taking a deep breath while continuing to massage the nape of his neck.
He stood there for a long time before the sound of familiar footsteps could be heard by him, and revealed the figures of Darren and Axel there. Even directly into the room before he knocked and only got a nod response by Alpha who turned around and immediately sat spinning the table towards the sofa to sit right next to those who were seen quite surprised when he saw many papers and other items scattered on the floor.
Has something happened? Thought Darren looked worried.
"Set up my meeting with Jackob Sean" Alpha said without further ado.
"You mean?"
"I wanted to meet the man to ask him what he wanted," Alpha replied.
"But, it looks like Jackob has left Verona."
"I can find out where he is at the moment, if he hasn't left Italy" Axel said.
"Can you trace the location?" ask Alpha to cringe.
"Yes, through some people at the club, some of them know Jackob Sean well enough, maybe we can get some information from them."
"Good, I hope as soon as Axel."
"Yes. You can wait. It won't be long."
"Tomorrow?"
"W-what? Tomorrow then? You serious?" ask Darren.
"I wouldn't have told you to come see me if it was just to play around, I can't wait to see that guy."
Darren took a strong breath, looking at Axel who only nodded looking in agreement. And that means he also has to work hard to find Jackob's location tonight.
"And hope he hasn't left Italy" Axel said.
"We'll meet him in Philadelphia."
"Sir, I don't think that's a good idea, we don't know what the situation is, and we don't know what kind of person Jackob Sean is and his cartel is either."
"We came in peace, not to riot, I just wanted to ask her what her purpose was in my show, I think she must have the answer to my question,"
"Yes, but it's good to wait. You can no longer act as you please now, there is Mrs Emery who will continue to monitor you at all times" Darren replied, quickly making Alpha aware. He almost forgot that there was Emery next to him.
Alpha massaged his brows as he closed his eyes, "Axel, can you find out where the man is tonight?" ask Alpha.
"Yes, tonight they're going to gather at the club. I'll work on it" replied Axel who was only nodding by Alpha.
"Thank you Axel."
"You don't have to talk Alpha."
"Master, I've sent you the freight forwarding report in your email, and you can check it out directly. I forgot to tell you. If Gianela pulls back from the company this afternoon"
"Reason?"
"As he said, his family will move to Ireland, and he will marry there."
"Yes, you're just looking for a replacement."
"We even have a few candidates, sir. And I'm interested in one of those registrants named Gizelle Feit."
"Do you think he can replace Gianela?" tanya Alpha still looks doubtful.
Because he thought it was very difficult to get a secretary like Gianela Swetha. The woman was quite intelligent and nimble, and had been her secretary for a very long time. Even he was a little surprised when he heard Gianela retreat. The woman wasn't even seen at her wedding two days ago. Has she returned to Ireland? Alpha seems to think and consider who will replace Gianela as his secretary.
"What I see from the data is also the profile sent. Gizelle Feit has an education equivalent to Gianela Swetha, at Ludwig Maximilian University."
"Ludwig Maximilian?"
"Yes, Sir, you can interview him directly, if you're not sure."
"No need, we need a secretary as soon as possible, aren't we going to have a board meeting?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Enter Miss Gizelle Feit on the list, and she can work from tomorrow. I believe in your choice" Reply Alpha.
"Alright," nods Darren. "Is there anything else, sir?"
"No, you just need to tell me where to meet Jackob Sean, before tomorrow."
"Of course, we're going home now" Axel continued, followed by Darren.
"I'm waiting for the good news" Alpha replied in a nod by Axel before stepping out of the workspace.
Leave Alpha still sitting there and reach for a map containing the profile and complete data of Gizelle Feit, a girl who will be her secretary.
Staring at the 3×4-sized photo with frowning eyebrows. The girl with bob hairstyle, blue eyes, sharp nose with thin lips, looks like a figure he knew before. Unsatisfied with the photo, Alpha read the girl's profile again. Gizelle Feit Anderson was born in Tekapo Lake on October 16, 1987 in New Zealand.
"Is it just similar?" Alpha muttered as she tapped her index finger on the table while reading through all the complete profiles of Gizelle Feit Anderson who she thought were very similar to Starla.
However, when he again observed the data of both parents Gizelle Feit, Alpha again lost his mind about Starla who is indeed Gizelle Feit Anderson.
"Darren has also realized that this girl looks a lot like Starla?" muttered Alpha seemed to think before choosing to close the map when he realized that he had four hours in the workspace, even he already missed his wife very much now.
Alpha rushes, turns off the lights in his study and walks out of the room to his room. Until the smile returned to his lips when he found the wife who was still asleep, even with the same position when he left a few hours ago.
Still smiling, Alpha approached their bed, lying next to his wife in a tight hug under their warm blanket. Even he could feel as Emery moved slightly and buried his face in his chest.
