After the moon had risen and darkness blanketed the town, Donna ventured into the night with Nelly and Alpha Kilian, their keen eyes scanning the shadows for any signs of danger.
Meanwhile, Sharon’s assistant and driver, accompanied by the howls of the nocturnal creatures hidden amongst the trees, embarked on their journey to retrieve her.
As Sharon settled into the backseat of the car, the ring of her phone shattered the eerie silence. It was Jessica, a fellow werewolf.
“Are you still feasting with Mr. Morris and his pack, Shar?” Jessica’s voice echoed through the darkness.
“We have already consumed our fill, and now I am on the path back,” Sharon replied, her eyes glinting mysteriously as she peered outside the car window.
“Ah, what a missed opportunity!” Jessica lamented.
“Why do you say that?” Sharon questioned, her curiosity piqued.
“News has reached my ears that Mr. Morris wishes to appoint you as their ambassador. If you were still at the feast, you could have expressed your gratitude in person!” Jessica enthused, her voice tinged with excitement.
Sharon’s senses sharpened, her lupine instincts tingling with anticipation. “What did you just say? He wants me to become their ambassador?”
“Does it not surprise you? I, too, was taken aback when I received the tidings. But upon further reflection, it seems that Mr. Morris chose you because of his daughter. The implications of this are momentous. Throughout the ages, Morris Corporation has never had an ambassador. Yet, now they have chosen you. Moreover, this appointment will bring invaluable connections. Morris Corporation spans numerous industries. Once you assume the role of ambassador, you will be the pioneer. Furthermore, fashion brands hold individuals in high regard based on their alliances. When they witness your collaboration with Morris Corporation, an abundance of offers will come pouring in,” Jessica surmised, her voice brimming with excitement.
Sharon savored the weight of the offer, comprehending its significance. “How capitalistic of him! It seems he is simply tossing his wealth to the wind!”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“And what is your inclination toward this, Sharon? Will you accept?” Jessica queried, respecting Sharon’s free will despite the resplendent benefits.
“Yes! Of course, I will! Why would I refuse such an opportunity when it will be advantageous for me? The bait has been cast, and I shall seize it. Besides, my conscience would be burdened if I were to decline!” Sharon declared unabashedly, her voice filled with determination.
“Very well! If you have made up your mind, I shall proceed with negotiations,” Jessica acknowledged.
“Okay. Whether it is driven by mutual interests or other motives, we cannot turn away from the allure of wealth!” Sharon stated confidently, her characteristic nature shining through.
In response, Jessica let out a hearty chuckle. “Indeed! Now, how did the discussion about the contract transpire on your end?”
Sharon sighed wearily. “Don’t even mention it. I was blinded by their displays of affection. I shall enlighten you on the matter later.”
“Very well. Return home safely.” Jessica bid her farewell before ending the call.
Sharon pondered for a moment before picking up her phone and sending Donna a message via WhatsApp.
The message read: From now on, do not address me as Ms. Sharon. Summon the courage to call me Sharon instead!
Donna replied with a perplexed emoticon.
Sharon typed her response swiftly: You shall be my benefactor in the realm of finances, and I shall rely on your support for my livelihood!
Donna replied, her confusion evident.
Sharon continued: Your esteemed father has bestowed upon me the prestigious role of ambassador for Morris Corporation. Therefore, I deem you to be my financial backer!
Donna’s response consisted of a shuddering emoticon.
Satisfied, Sharon tucked her phone away and glanced at Alpha Kilian, who sat in the driver’s seat. “Oh, Mr. Handsome, did you bestow upon me the honor of becoming your company’s ambassador?”
Alpha Kilian stole a glance at her through the rearview mirror before nodding. “Yes. How did you come to know?”
“Sharon just informed me. She even referred to me as her financial backer. So, is this all because of me?” Donna inquired, her voice filled with curiosity.
The corners of Alpha Kilian’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile. “Of course! As long as Sharon treats you well, she will lack nothing in the future.”
Donna cast a sidelong glance at Nelly, who remained engrossed in her phone without uttering a word. After a thoughtful moment, she ventured, “But, are you not worried that Nelly may misconstrue your intentions?”
“Misconstrue?” Alpha Kilian raised an eyebrow in amusement.
“Yes, Sharon possesses an enchanting aura. Those with discerning eyes might understand that you are doing this for my sake. However, what if the ignorant ones misinterpret your actions as an infatuation with her?” Donna whispered, her eyes darting cautiously towards Nelly.
Nelly continued scrolling through her phone, seemingly oblivious to the conversation.
Alpha Kilian sneakily glanced at Nelly, then responded with a smile, his voice dripping with charisma. “I orchestrated this in front of your mother.”
“Really?” Donna’s curiosity was piqued.
“Of course! Did you think I had grown tired of life?” Alpha Kilian retorted with a hint of playfulness.
Nelly’s fingers stilled on her phone.
Donna burst into laughter. “Is he afraid of Mommy now?”
“Besides, who could rival your mother’s allure?” Alpha Kilian bantered, his voice laced with charm.
Donna was left speechless.
Hmm… Daddy is becoming quite skilled in the art of flattery! His shamelessness knows no bounds! But his magnetic presence cannot be denied! Gah! I am captivated by him!
She turned to Nelly, her voice tinged with mischief. “Nelly… did you hear what Mr. Handsome just said?”
“Yeah,” Nelly replied, not bothering to lift her gaze.
“Don’t you have anything to say?” Donna inquired, her curiosity piqued.
“Nelly retorted, delivering a cryptic warning. “Remember this, Donna. Men are deceivers. Do not trust them.”
Donna fell silent.
Well, she certainly put an end to the conversation.
Unexpectedly, Alpha Kilian did not seem angered by Nelly’s remark. Instead, he nodded in agreement. “Your mother is right. Therefore, do not easily trust any man apart from me. Do you understand?”
Was this a mutual show, each playing their part to please the other?
“Got it,” Donna replied, exasperated.
“Great!”
To Donna’s surprise, Nelly lifted her eyes and cast a fleeting glance at Alpha Kilian, a small smile gracing her lips. She then averted her gaze and resumed her focus on her phone.
Throughout the drive, Alpha Kilian and Donna engaged in lighthearted banter, their voices laced with amusement.
Nelly found solace in the exchange, a sense of security enveloping her inexplicably.
Eventually, they arrived at the entrance of the condominium.
Just as they were about to step out of the car, Alpha Kilian’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was Fabian calling, he answered.
On the other end of the line, Fabian rambled on endlessly, while Alpha Kilian listened attentively. After a lengthy conversation, he responded, “Understood. Wait for me at the office. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Once the call ended, Donna stared at him intently. “Are you busy again, Mr. Handsome?”
Meeting her gaze, Alpha Kilian nodded. “Yes.”
“Alright then. It’s getting late anyway. Take care on your way back!” Donna cautioned thoughtfully.
Alpha Kilian reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair.
Then, his gaze shifted to Nelly, a dark intensity burning in his eyes. “Get some rest. Goodnight.”
Nelly pursed her lips, her mind grappling with unspoken words. Ultimately, she simply nodded. “Goodnight.”
Turning to Donna in the back seat, she beckoned. “Come, let’s go home.”
Only then did Donna alight from the car, walking alongside Nelly.
“Goodbye, Mr. Handsome.” Donna waved reluctantly, her eyes lingering on Alpha Kilian.
“Goodbye.” Alpha Kilian returned her wave with a charming smile before his gaze settled once again on Nelly.
Nelly, however, maintained her focus on Donna, seemingly unaware of his scrutiny. “Let’s go!”
And so, Donna took Nelly’s hand, and together they walked away.
Observing their departing figures, Alpha Kilian hesitated for a moment. But in the end, he started the engine and drove away into the night.
