Angel POV.
I walked in to work late, I went to swipe my ID card but it wouldn’t let me, I tried again and again, but it wouldn’t let me swipe it, it kept saying it was rejected. I walked toward the receptionist to ask her about it, I had a big pout on my face, and I said a shy good morning first.
“My ID isn’t working,” I tell her, showing her my card.
“It’s because you’re late, did you tell your boss you’re not going to be here on time?” she asks me with a raised brow.
“Yeah, he said it’s fine,” I assured her, she made me feel bad for being late, I didn’t mean to sleep in.
“Then just go ahead, he’ll mark your presence from his office,” she says, and I thank her before going into the building, I headed toward the elevator and went toward my floor, I walked toward Logan’s office, I knocked on the door, and waited until he told me that I can come in.
“Good morning Logan, I’m sorry that I’m late Sir,” I say looking down to my feet.
“Evelyn said that you weren’t feeling that well last night, what happened?” he asks me worriedly.
“Nothing, I was just tired,” I say with a shrug, I wasn’t lying, I was tired of everything that happened.
“Tired? Are you sick?” he says more worried, he gets up and moves toward me, he places a hand on my forehead checking my fever.
“No, I’m not sick, I was just tired,” I say again, trying to get away from his questions.
“Then we won’t push you too hard today,” he says, and I nod with a small smile.
“Are you ready for your new job today?” he says and I nod, work would get my head off everything else.
“What’s my new job?” I ask him, am I going to have to do some more paperwork?
“You’re going to sit with me during my meetings, I need you to take notes for me,” he says with a smile on his face.
“Okay, I can do that,” I assure him, I did that job before, I sat down through meetings and took notes not the hardest move ever.
“Then let’s go, we’re a bit late, did you have breakfast? Do you want coffee?” he asks me.
“I had breakfast before leaving, and I’m good thank you,” I say to him.
“I need my coffee, come on, we’ll get me a drink and get going, they’ve been waiting long enough,” Logan says offering me a hand, was it weird to hold hands with your boss, but he’s my blue boss, and I wasn’t feeling the best, holding hand with him would make me feel much safer, after a second of thinking, I held his hand.
“How do you know the police guy?” I ask him, meaning Hunter.
“What did he tell you?” he asks me with a smirk.
“More than I know, but nothing else, were you in trouble before and he now owes you a favour?” I ask him, I know he stopped me once and he was nice to me then, maybe it’s just his way of treating everyone.
“I have known Hunter for years now, and I mean literal years, there’s a million favours between the two of us, and him giving you a ride isn’t the worst one,” he assures me, he finished getting his coffee and we walked into a conference room, there were others waiting for us, the ones I recognized were Thalia aka Wolf and Ryan, I didn’t feel well after seeing him, but William was there too, so maybe it won’t be that bad.
I took my seat next to Logan, he handed me a tablet to take notes on, he took a sip from his coffee and waited for them to start the meeting, everyone was looking at us with raised brows.
“Thank you for joining us, how generous of you Logan,” William says in a cold voice.
“You know how we are blue, troubles happen and sometimes we’re late,” he says, so it’s my fault that we’re late, I felt like a child who refused to put her shoes on and now we’re all late.
“Don’t blame the Angel, it’s up to you Blue to make sure she’s on time,” William says blaming Logan instead of me, after they were done playing the blame game the meeting began, they were talking about logistics and the next move to their company, they’re aiming to get a bigger exposure, to help more humans bond with vampires, they were throwing ideas onto how to get them to meet.
“An auction house, that worked in the old days,” Ryan suggests, my note said ‘Slavery-Ryan,’
“Auction won’t work anymore Ryan, who are you paying for the humans? It’s inhumane,” Thalia answers him.
“We’re not humans,” he says with a shrug.
“But we’re dealing with them, you got to make some accommodation,” Thalia says.
“What does being in charge do then? We shouldn’t have taken over if we’re gonna keep on paying attention to their emotions,” Ryan says in a cold voice.
“We’re not enslaving them Ryan, we’ve promised to keep them safe, we promised that we’d do a better job of what they did,” Thalia says angrily now.
“Doesn’t work that way, it might be one of your fantasies, but it doesn’t work anymore, Wolf is right, other ideas,” William says stopping the debate.
“Maybe adoption centers?” Thalia suggests.
“And what does that differs from mine?” Ryan says feeling offended.
“You’re not paying for the humans and they’d go willingly,” Thalia answer him in a firm voice.
A phone started to ring and one of the quiet vampires answered it, he went to the other side of the room to answer it, I followed him with my eyes, I saw that he lost his very calm demanour and went angry in matter of seconds, is that normal for vampires? To just get angry that easily. He walked back in the room, trying to hide his temper, but it was very obvious that this guy was angry, no this guy was furious and god help the one who pissed him off.
“I need to go,” he says and Ryan turns to him.
“We’re already running late, you can’t bail,” Ryan says.
“It’s an emergency,” the guy says between gritted teeth.
“This is an emergency,” Ryan says pointing to the whole room.
“They need me,” he says sounding desperate now.
“Silas, go, and if needed bring them along, we need to talk this through,” William says, so this is Silas, he’s the one in charge of Alec and Mia, are they okay, did they kill each other?
“Fine,” Silas says running out of the room faster than I ever seen anyone move, Ryan and Wolf kept on fighting, and they were too fast for me to keep on taking notes.
“Don’t bother, just say they fought, it happens every time,” Logan say and I nod, leaving a note that Ryan and wolf have fought.
“How’s your work going with Logan, Miss Angel,” William asks me leaving those two to fight in peace.
“It’s going fine, thank you for asking,” I say blushing, Logan and William give off other kind of vibes, they were different that the others, I didn’t know how.
“I heard you had special escort this morning, so you met Logan’s mate,” he says and I looked at him with wide eyes, I turned to Logan with the same wide look, they are mates?
“They are mates?” I repeat the words.
“Didn’t they tell you,” William says confused.
“Not so clearly,” I answer him giving Logan a side look.
“We’ll talk about that later,” he assures me with a cheap smile.
“We’re back, sorry for being late,” Silas says coming back in holding Mia and Alec’s hands, he took a seat and set both of them over his lap, petting both their backs.
“Are they okay?” William asks.
“I should sue you, Alec fell and hurt his ankel on a wet floor with no sign,” Silas says petting his back some more.
“So he fell, what she’s doing here?” someone else asks.
“We’re a bundle where he goes I come,” Mia answer him.
“Really? Silas?” the guy answers him,
“Yes, really, they are a bundle, I was told so when I decided to adopt them,” Silas answer more calmly, hugging both of them closer to his chest.
“Don’t worry Silas, Wolf and Ryan have managed to fill in the silence, now back to our topic,” William says getting everyone’s attention back.
“Since we’re allowing all the humans in why not ask them for help?” Ryan says in sarcasm.
“Not a bad idea, these two are very creative, what do you think Mia, how can we get the humans to love the vampires more? To get to meet each other?” he asks her with a smile on his face, talking to her like she’s the most important girl in the world.
“Make big parties, it’s how people meet, or maybe start a tinder application, make special black night in the pubs with all the fun toys and games you know,” Mia says.
“Well she’s right that would work for Black, we all love to party, and no black would say no, even the shy ones,” Silas says, so they found one kind of solution for black.
“We can make nights for both Red and Black, I can get my poeple to make some flyers, give them to everyone, we’ll get buses ready to take everyone and back, we’ll have the bracelet system, some can play and others can just watch next time they can play, and so on,” Thalia says and everyone nods agreeing with her.
“What about the rest? We still have green and blue,” Ryan says as if we’re too stupid and didn’t just come to a solution.
“We can do the same thing, those two codes like partying, but these ones don’t how about we do picnics? A going out,” Someone suggests and I wrote the notes down, I guess they had everyone ready, they knew what to do.
“What about Blue, what does our blue twins think?” William says pointing to us.
“Uhhh…” I say mumbling not sure what to decide now, I don’t like partying, I’m not sure a picnic is the thing for us, and I don’t want to just throw ourselves on the green day.
“We could do some kind of meeting,” Logan says.
“Yes, what kind?” William says with a raised brow.
Everyone turned to me, they had eyes on me, waiting for me to suggest something, but something like what? I felt the urge to cry feeling everyone’s attention on me, I don’t like this, I’m here to take notes not to give ideas.
“Tell us, what do you really enjoy? A thing that would make you feel happy, and have fun?” Logan asks me, that was an easier question to answer, but are all blue like me? I could just suggest and he knows better, he’s blue boss after all and he’s the head of the department.
“I really like going to the amusement park, or when the festival comes to town, I even like parades,” I suggest, not knowing if my suggestion was good or not.
“Logan?” William asks, Logan takes a moment to think of it.
“I don’t think there’s a blue that would say no,” Logan answered him.
“Wolf, can you work this out?” William asks next.
“I can, we’ll have to keep it close, only blue allowed, but maybe later we can open it for other colours, everyone would want to join,” Thalia says, and I could start to relax.
“Run the numbers, we have a deal, this works for everyone?” William asks.
“I think we should just get the humans to do the meetings, they know what they are doing more than you guys,” William says with a chuckle.
“Give me a human then,” Ryan says eying me, I lean toward Logan with fear, and he places a hand over my shoulder hugging me.
“Leave my Blue in peace Ryan,” he warns him.
“I’m buying everyone lunch,” William says in a chuckle getting up and telling everyone to follow him, I made sure to stay near Logan and he offered to hold my hand again, which I took happily, I noticed that Silas was carrying Alic since he had injured his foot, while Mia was walking real close to them both.
