บท 16: Chapter 16: Insecurities Part 1
*Caleb*
Alex emailed me his search results. The subject’s name was Sheila McLane, and she had just finished her degree in chemistry; she was living in New York and left everything after she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years, to see the father and take a break. His father, Carter McLane, is a fascinating man. He had been working on that same real estate company from the beginning and climbed his way slowly to his current position at the top. An excellent hard worker like those of old times. I was going to have to look for something special to buy so Meadow would join me if it were possible, even though she was not a sales agent.
I thought of exciting deals for them to let her get credit for the sale. I would save that for the near future, right then it would be too soon. The dating process was stressing me. All my wolf and I wanted to do was to explore her body and claim her.
"Alpha, our squad arrived safely to Demark's land late last night, and they started to move immediately with his people. They have arrived half an hour ago to the center of Smithson's land and are helping them recover. I am getting a report that they see many casualties, as well as great structural damage." Craig started filling me right after he walked through the door. I nodded slowly.
"Remember last month we told you about our thoughts on new perimeter traps?"
"Yes Alpha, I remember it well."
"Ok, let's gather the basics and ship them towards the Smithson's land, tell our guys to start working on it. It is time we start testing how good of a trap we've managed to create."
"Alpha?"
"Yes?"
"Erm... the wolfsbane...?"
Ah, true. I had got rid of any wolfsbane available near our lands; it wasn't going to be easy to find more. I had to make a few phone calls to see what was available. If there was any.
"Let's start with the security infrastructure."
"Yes, Alpha." He bowed and left.

Oh, it was finally noon and the day had been too long. First Gideon almost spilled coffee on me, but I was lucky to notice it in time and move away. He didn't even apologize! He hadn't even talk to me since Monday's meeting, I was starting to think Caleb was right and he was a psychopath. The look in his eyes made the hair at the back of my neck stand straight up; and not in a good way. Also today I had to fire one of our sales staff; who we found was using some of the empty residences as his private motels.
My cell phone rang and I smiled as I saw it was Caleb, picking it up quickly while I grabbed my purse.
"Hey there... how is your day coming along?" I still needed to find a way to refer to him besides ‘Hey’. I just couldn't call him ‘Babe’ or ‘Hun- all of the sudden, besides, it didn't suit him.
"Hello... I am having a hectic day, but I wanted to know how your day is coming along. I hope better than mine." Ah, I am not alone at this either. He seemed to be unsure on how to refer to me as well. I blushed and felt like a teen.
"I had a busy morning, but my boss gave me the afternoon off. I will have lunch with his daughter and take her around the city. Apparently, she likes me, and told him she would like me to provide her a tour."
"I can see why she likes you... I am glad you will be having the afternoon to relax. Where are you going to take her? Any ideas yet?"
"No, not really, I thought I would talk to her over lunch and see what is she in the mood for. I just hope we don't end up walking for hours at a mall." I chuckled, and he joined me on the other side.
"I heard from a friend of mine that she had a bad breakup actually, maybe that can be of some help. My friend said she is in town to have some fresh air and forget the guy."
"Oh poor girl, she seems so sweet! Thank you, that will help me avoid love subjects with her. Hmm, how did your friend know about her?" This was intriguing. Had he been talking about me to his friends? I blushed deeper and walked closer to the security line for the checkout. I already could see her waiting for me outside, waving.
He cleared his throat, which I thought it was cute. "It happens that I was talking about an estate I wanted to purchase and my friend advised me of your company. I found it more than interesting. One thing led to another, and it turns out he was her classmate at college his first year before he dropped and went for the tech department."
I was surprised; the world is the size of a tissue. Who would have thought how small it would be. "Oh I am next on the security check, I have to go."
"Have a good lunch, enjoy your day. I will call you later."
"Caleb... don't get too stressed ok?"
"I won't. I promise. Until later Meadow."
"I hope so, Caleb," I said with a smile and heard him chuckle before he cut the call. I was definitely a teenager all over again.
