Chapter 14
Derick’s POV
Tell me about it.” He said, gleaming from side to side. He pushed his chair forward placed his elbow on the table and leaned in them.
“Come on, Man. It’s not necessary” I said, standing up. I stretched and stood in front of the transparent glass, looking at the magnificent buiklings
gat and hoping that Bryan would let it go.
“Tim waiting.” I heard him say excitedly. “Ughhhh” I groaned, lining my head up in playful frustration. “You’re a real pain in the ass, you know that” Ind, turning to face him
He put his hands in the air, smiling. “I’m so glad you figured it out, now get going.” He said, his eyes shining with expectation.
I walked towards the table and took my seat. “Alright, have it your way.” I said, taking a deep breath
“It all happened after the divorce. Just a few days after everything was sorted out.” I started.

Bryan leaned in closer, his expression was now more serious than I was just a little while ago.
*Man, I knew that time was tough for you. But you could have said something you always say you had everything under control
1 shrugged, smiling. “I just wanted to get everything out of the way by myself. I couldn’t bother anyone else with my problems.
He nodded sknly. “So, what happened, let’s get back to that. He said sharply, his playful expression coming back to
ng back to life again,
“Well I was feeling down and just needed to clear my mind. So I went to a bar. Just to get a drink and some noise, anything to distract myself…… That’s where I met her.”
I turned to look at him and he was listening. “We started talking as one thing led to another.”
Bryan’s eyes widened and he smiled suspiciously. And you guys You know?”
“Yeah, we fucked” I said plainly, trying not to drift into an awkward space. “But I didn’t see her in the morning. She was gone before I woke up
“That’s rough, man. Did you think you’d see her again!
– 1 didn’t know what to think I said bonestly. “But this is where it gets complicated. I ran into her again a few days ago. We started talking and believe me. Man. There is something about her. I really can’t explain it.”
“You’re losing your shit 1, Derrick” He said suddenly with a wide smile on his face.

“I never thought I’d see this day, look at you man, since when did you start baging after any woman. I mean you fucked her already, what’s the
I rolled my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair. “You don’t farking understand. She’s different. She’s got a lot going in her life right now a
and she.. well she said she’s not looking for a relationship at the moment. She’s proud and I go that
“Is she some sort of CEO, do I know her! Beyan asked, he knew quite well that it was almost impossible for any woman to reject me. We had dared ourselves many times in sed hour long it would take in break a troman down as for most of the time it wasn’t too difficult for me.
“She’s not, that’s why I said she’s different.” I repeated.
He leaned back against the chair and sighed. “Have you thought about Emelia and what she’d think about another woman aside from her mother?”
I pressed my hand against my forehead. Maybe it would have been best if I didn’t talk about it will anyone
“Emelia’s not a problem.” I said softly. Bryan smiled and shook his head. “Just take it easy, Man.” He said calmly.
It was strange because I expected him to say more, but he seemed suddenly interested and was backing up. I took it as a good sign and ended the conversation there. I didn’t want to tell him yet that I felt it in my wolf that she was my mate. I didn’t want to make the conversation more awkward
than It already was.
He was yet to find his mate and even though he kept acting like he didn’t care, I knew he did. He had a huge chunk of wealth waiting for him which was kept by his father, Only accessible after he was fully mated. Everyone likes to act carefree, but the truth was that everyone, mi matter where they were, always wanted more.
“Look, Derrick. You know you don’t have to do things by yourself. You’ve got people who care about you. Let us know things sometimes” I could hear the honesty in his voice and I was grateful for that.
“I know, I’ll try and remember that.” I whispered under my breath.

She stood for a while as I went through the document. I looked up at her a nodded. “You can go now She turned swiftly and headed towards the door without wasting time.
it was weird that she was acting the way, at least not until I saw the look on Bryan’s face. “How long has it been, between you two?”
He smiled and took the document from my hand. “Almost two years, but it’s obvious she hasn’t gone past it. I wasn’t my fault.”
He and Laura had dated before a short spell of romance. I didn’t know the full story, but it sure didn’t end well between them. “You should fix things between you two. I suggested.
He lifted up his head and looked arme “How!”
“Marry her” I said playfully. He smiled and threw a pen at me. “Fuck you.”
