Is he sick
“Why are you here? Why do you keep disobeying me?” Alex asked. He dragged his sister out of the house to a place where Ellie wouldn’t hear their conversation.
“Brother, calm down. I only came to greet her; after all, I needed to get along with the Luna.” Maya whispered with a smile, while Callum, who was behind them, also chuckled. Alex looked at him, and he kept quiet at once.
Then did you get along with Luna very well? He asked sarcastically. “Don’t come here again without my permission.” He was about to go back inside when he heard. “Wait. Mother asked me to tell you that she will be organizing a party next week for werewolves and witches, and you must make sure to attend.” She said.
“Just pick up her calls. I don’t know why I have to be the errand girl.” She added before walking forward, but quickly turned back when she remembered something. “And also tell Ellie that I’ll visit her soon. Oh! Don’t bother, I’ll just call her.” She said, raising her phone up as she leaves. She did that to tell her brother that she would keep coming back. She knew how much that would make her brother mad.
“Oh my goodness! She’s just so funny.” Callum said, laughing. He was surprised to see the way Maya was talking to Alex.
Are you done? “Leave before I throw you out.” Alex said with irritation in his voice.
“Hey! Alex!” Callum called out to him, but he did not answer. He sighed and left the house.
He entered the house and saw that she was not sitting where she was again. He was about to walk up the stairs when he saw her coming out of the kitchen with a plate.
Ellie looked up at him and saw how he was smiling at her. She would have gone back to her room, but she craved more of the cake, so she decided to just go and take it before going back to her room.
“What were you talking about with my sister?” He asked.
“Why do you want to know?” She asked back instead of answering.
“Just answer my question, bunny. It seems you like being punished.” He said with a teasing smile.
“We just made friends and talked about some lady stuff you would never understand.” She said this to him, putting on a fake smile.
She turned around to leave, but not before whispering. “I wonder why a man like him is just so wicked. Even to his sister.”
Hearing her, he pulled her back to him and said, “What were you saying, bunny?” He pulled her towards him more closely.
“Let go of me! Ellie shouted. She had been trying to avoid getting close to him, but the man kept using any opportunity to get closer to her.
“Calm down, bunny.” Alex said.
She kept on trying to push him away, but his hands on her were just too hard to remove. She was about to step on his foot when something suddenly caused her to stop wriggling.
His eyes, which were black before, suddenly changed to pale yellow before changing back to their normal color.
Alex quickly let go of her and left her standing there with her mouth wide open.
She went back to her room without eating the cake. “His eyeball changed color. “Am I dreaming? I know what I saw.” She kept talking to herself; she only stopped thinking about it when she couldn’t find the perfect explanation for what she saw.
He entered his room and shut the door. “What have you done, Alex? Why couldn’t you control yourself?” He asked, rubbing his hair in frustration. “I wonder what she must be thinking. Ha. Goodness, this is so frustrating.” He said this before slumping on his bed.
The next morning, she wanted to ask him if he was sick, but she didn’t because of how he was behaving. He was not talking or smiling at her the way he always did, which made her even more baffled. The trip to the office was so silent and awkward.
She made his coffee and went to his office to read his schedule. She noticed that he just listened and dismissed her after she was done. “What’s wrong with him? Is he that sick? I wonder what the nature of his sickness is.” She said to herself after she got out of his office.
About two hours later. She was in her office, working on her laptop. She would have followed Alex to his meeting, but he told Jeff to tell her not to go instead of telling her directly.
She couldn’t focus on her work; she kept thinking about why he was behaving like that. She was still working when the loud sound of heels coming towards her caused her to look away from the computer.
A young lady with a small, white face walked out of the elevator. Her face was so young and beautiful that Ellie guessed she must be in her early twenties.
The lady, without looking at Ellie’s side, walked towards Alex’s office door to enter the office. Ellie quickly ran to her and stopped her before she could enter.
“Excuse me, ma’am, the CEO is not around. Ellie said to her.
The lady looked at her from her head to her toes before saying, “Then I’ll wait for him.” She said, about to push the door open before Ellie stopped her again.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. I can’t let you wait for him inside, but you can sit here and wait for him.” Ellie said, pointing towards the long chair beside the entrance.
“What? The lady scoffed. “Do you know who I am? Even if you’re new here, Does that give you the right to disrespect me?!” She said, screaming at Ellie.
Ellie was so angry. She wanted to reply, but calmed herself down and said, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can just allow anyone.”
“Anyone?! You bitch!” The lady said in anger. She was about to drag Ellie’s hair, but the elevator opened and Alex came out. “What’s going on here?”
“Alex!” Sophie called out in excitement; she was so happy to finally see the man she had come for.
“I’ve been waiting here for you, but this good for nothing secretary didn’t let me in.” She said, looking at Alex with a smile, before looking back at Ellie in anger.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Alex looked at Ellie and back at Sophie before saying, “Let’s go in.” Sophie also smiled and followed him inside the office.
Ellie just stood there. She couldn’t explain how she was feeling, whether angry or sad. She looked at the closed door for some time before going back to her seat.
