Chapter 40: Working in the pack house
The make over session was finally over and I was done with my nails. I liked the fact that they kept everything simple and didn't do too much on the make up.
Just as everything was done, I saw the Alpha approaching me, the nail artist asked him; "How does she look, sir?"
"Very cute." Came his short reply.
"We thought so too, that's why we focused on elaborating on her cuteness, rather than introducing another theme."
"Hmm." He walked up to me while scanning my appearance as if he was taking note of every single detail. "Do you know how adorable you look?" he whispered but I couldn't think of a reply. 'Yes?', 'No?'.
"Look..." he raised two paper shopping bags in his hand. "... I got you something."
It didn't look like 'something' to me, more like 'somethings'.
"Let's go now, I'll show you when we get home." I nodded my head and walked with him out of the salon and back to the car.
----------------------
Immediately they got into the car, Adrian said; "Wow! Evie you look very good. I wonder how many guys will be storming around you now that you've touched up. Why would you even hide such beauty from the world in the first place? I almost shed tears the first time I saw you 'cause your beauty was radiating all over the place. Now you had to make it more by getting a make over. I wonder-"
"Shut up and drive." Brody said in a cold tone.
"Evie... you're beautiful." Adrian said ignoring Brody's deadly stare through the rare view mirror completely.
"Thank you." Evie said in a shy tone.
'Just you wait till we get home.' Brody said through the mind-link which made Adrian shrink in fear. He'd purposely done things that would make Brody frustrated, knowing fully well what was in for him. He had ignored it totally, but now that reality had taken it's place at that moment, he knew that he had no escape route. 'I'm so dead.' he thought.
The drive back to the pack house was quiet compared to when they were just leaving in the morning but it was not dull at all. Evie looked outside the window with a bright smile on her face. Brody had done things that she didn't even ask for. 'Is this how it feels to be happy? Or am I just enjoying the attention from him? Either way, it's a very good opportunity and maybe a once in a lifetime thing. I'd better enjoy it while it lasts.' she thought.
Her left hand was being held by Brody who was busy on his tablet but he didn't fail to notice the smile that was on her face. He had made out an habit of holding her hands which sometimes he did it out of reflex.
"We're home!" Adrian announced after packing in front of the pack house. The people in the pack house who had seen their Alpha go out with a particular girl found it hard to believe that she was the same one with him at that moment. Although nothing much had changed in her appearance because she looked pretty much the same, the kind of vibe she gave was much more elegant and attractive.
"Welcome back Supreme Alpha." They all greeted in unison with their heads bowed. "Get the things in the car trunk." Brody instructed. Some Omegas hurried to the car trunk to get the things that were there. 'Get these to the room opposite mine and arrange them in the appropriate place. You have an hour.'
'Yes, Alpha.' They said in unison and hurried to the car.
"Uh, I need to go pack the car in the garage." Adrian said.
"You can ask one of the guards to do that." Brody said.
"No need. I'll do it myself." He was not interested in packing the car he was only trying to avoid Brody and his wrath. If possible, he would avoid him for the rest of the day.
"No problem. Meet me in my study when it's done." He turned to Evie and held her hand in his. "Let's go. I have something I want to handle in my study and I want you to accompany me. You don't mind coming with me, do you?"
"No." Truth be told, ever since Brody had told her that he liked it when she talked freely, she felt more encouraged to be free with her speech.
"I have a surprise for you after." he said.
"Really?" she said as an instant smile appeared on her face.
"Hmm." He walked her into the pack house, and into his study that was on the fourth floor.
Her smile slightly fell when she thought; 'Even after everything he's done for me today, he still has something else again to give me. My debts are piling up too quickly. How will I pay back? Will he be okay with me working as a servant in the pack house? At least I would find a way to pay him back even if it's a very long time. Working here for the rest of my life wouldn't hurt as much as hiding in an attic. I really need to learn all these house chores if I want to make it work. No one can tolerate a lazy and clueless person like me.' Brody didn't notice the change in the mood of the girl he was holding and was totally clueless on what was running in her mind. He walked her into the elevator and to his study which was on the fourth floor.
Brody opened the door which brought her out of her train of thoughts.
"Woah..." She mouthed.
