Emily pinched Ryan’s hands and immediately seized the opportunity to stand up, blushing furiously from embarrassment. She hung her head low not knowing how to face the other two occupants of the room.
Scott’s mouth hung open. “Miss feisty! Ryan, you really have a weird taste!” Emily looked up and glared at him. The embarrassment was long forgotten.
“Watch your words brat!” She told him. “You are just as rude as this jerk who clearly has no respect for women’s bodies. He gropes me whenever he feels like it and then announces a relationship I can’t even remember when it started. Mr Ryan, when did you even propose to me? I must have been blind to accept the proposal!”
Chris acted like he was scratching his ears in an attempt to hide the smile that appeared on his face. He was trying so hard not to laugh at Ryan’s facial expression. He has never seen Kral so worked up.
“You see what I was saying, brother. I reject this relationship. I can never accept you as my sister-in-law. In fact, no man in his right senses will accept you as his sister-in-law!” Scott walked up to her.
Emily looked furious at this statement. Is this brat indirectly cursing her!? What a bunch of rude jerks!?
Ryan stood up and walked to her. Chris stood back and watched the scene with excited eyes. Why does it feel like the two brothers are fighting over her?
He brought his phone out and contemplated sending a message to the group to inform them that Kral finally has a girlfriend but Kral and Scott are both in the group.
The former would probably kill him if that happens so he quietly returned his phone back to his pocket. Let’s just keep this a secret for as long as Kral is willing to keep it.
“Did you just call your boyfriend a rude jerk?” Ryan’s first words since this scenario started made others speechless. No one could talk, not even Emily.
“You are being a bad girlfriend… How should I punish you?” His words and smile hint at something. Emily gaped at him. Did this jerk even hear anything she just said?
She groaned and walked out briskly. The door slammed hard behind her. She is not going to that office till working hours is over.
“Brother! Did you even hear what I said right now? You and miss feisty ain’t possible. She’d make my life a living hell. One Gracie is enough. I don’t need another one!” Scott fumed.
Ryan just gave him a side glance. “It’s none of your business,” He said curtly.
“Cousin, your baby…,” Chris almost choked when Ryan glared at him. “I mean girlfriend… Yes, girlfriend… Your girlfriend is really fierce.” He’d been terrified just now by the crimson glow of anger that briefly appeared in Ryan’s eyes.
Why are the dude’s eyes changing colours without a warning? “Shut up and leave my office you two,” He sounded nonchalant.
“Brother…,” Scott looked aggrieved as usual. “I’ll tell mother about this new development. I know she will force you to get married to her and you would live a miserable life with her!”
Ryan chuckled, “That’s the best way to have a shotgun wedding. Go… Call mother now. I can get married to the love of my life soon and you would be forced to go on dates with those she-wolves.”
Scott looked pissed off. Ryan really knows his weak point and how much he hates enduring dates with brainless she-wolves.
“I’ll surely get my revenge. We are going to Singapore this weekend, right? I’ll tell everybody at the get-together of your new life,” He walked out annoyed.
“Great! It will make my message interesting!” Ryan called out after him and his response was the loud bang of the door.
Chris followed afterwards and Ryan was left alone laughing to himself. Never in his life had he felt this happy. He literally annoyed three people within a short time span.
First, Eva then Emily followed by Scott. Hmm… Speaking of Emily, his eyes darted to the empty chair next to him. “Where did my stubborn girlfriend go?,” He mumbled with a laugh.
‘Dummy,’ Ray mumbled in his head. ‘Cause of you, she must think we are both dummies when it’s finally time to…’
‘Time to what? I thought you were asleep Ray?’ Ryan sounded surprised when his wolf’s words suddenly floated in his head.
‘Well, someone stupid antics disturbed my sleep,’ Ryan could have sworn that he saw Ray rolling his eyes at him at the instant. What’s with this naughty wolf?
‘Why will she think so? Does she even know you?’ he couldn’t help asking.
‘Mind your own business. Just don’t hurt her or I’ll crawl out of you and haunt you even in hell if I have to,’ Ryan had to admit that he really felt a little bit fearful at Ray’s words.
Well, the wolf has been acting weird these days when it has to do with Emily.

“Emily.” Emily stopped when she heard that familiar voice. It’s that guy from the cafeteria. She still doesn’t remember his name. Not like she would tell him. But why is he always somehow around whenever she steps out of the office?
“Hey… I wasn’t expecting to see you,” Emily gave him a fake smile. “I was just on my way to the IT section to deliver this,” He pointed at the small stack of files in his hand.
Emily looked at it with a sigh. His own paperwork is so small but hers… That jerk made sure to give her neverending paperwork.
Isn’t he overreacting over such a small thing she said in the elevator? “Emily… Are you alright?” Jonas shook her when he saw that she wasn’t even listening to him.
What or… Who is she thinking about? He had a grim look on his face at this question. “Yeah… I’m fine. I just came out of a break. You know… How suffocating does it get in an enclosed area?” She explained nervously and he nodded, pretending to buy her explanation.
Does it have to do with Eva’s very angry or shall I say furious mood? “Then follow me. Let’s go together. I’ll be done soon and we can go separate ways,” He urged.
