Love Me, My Omega! - Chapter 108

“Justin, is it true that you’re in a relationship with the CEO?” His coworker asked as he looked at Justin with curious eyes.

“What?” Justin’s face was filled with shock because of what he asked. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Justin said, clearly confused.

“Do you really not understand what I’m saying?” his coworker asked, doubting whether Justin was only acting innocent or if he’s actually confused. “Yes. I don’t know what made you think that,” the omega said as he scrunched his eyebrows.

“When you were in heat, Sir Lee came and hugged you real tight. Doesn’t that mean that you’re in a relationship?” the coworker grinned as if he finished putting a puzzle together.

“Hey, shut it. What are you babbling about?”

Justin flinched when he heard someone speak before he could.

It was Hannah.

“Why are you butting in?” the coworker asked as he raised a brow at Hannah. “Because you’re not making any sense?” Hannah replied in a sarcastic tone.

“First of all, Justin was in heat. Second, Sir Lee is an alpha. Third, any alpha who doesn’t have a mate would probably do that and try to bite the omega,” Hannah said as she glared at the coworker.

“Is that so weird? Didn’t you learn about that in 5th grade? Or did you not pay attention to class at all that you lack knowledge about something so simple?” she said, raising a brow at him and looking at him as if he just said something so stupid.

“You’re really rude, you know? You didn’t have to talk like that. I was just asking about it. Plus, you weren’t originally part of the conversation,” the coworker glared back at her.

Justin and Carl were just watching them fight with their mouths. Carl knew that there was no way he could stop Hannah from talking and defending Justin, while Justin couldn’t really speak because he can’t say anything to defend himself.

He doesn’t have much memory about what happened while he was in heat, so there was no way he could actually say something to explain what happened. He couldn’t just say that he forgot what happened that day because his coworker would probably think that he’s just lying even if it’s the truth.

As cowardly as it seems, deep inside him, he wanted Hannah to make their coworker leave.

“Aren’t you the rude one, though? Suddenly walking up to someone whom you’re not even close with and asking if he’s in a relationship with someone… Isn’t that rude, prying into someone’s personal life like that? Also, you were clearly making Justin uncomfortable. Did you think I would just sit on my chair, type on my computer, and act like nothing was happening?” she scoffed.

The coworker was left speechless. He knew Hannah has a point in what she said, but nevertheless, he still wanted to protect his pride.

“Ugly bitches like you should just fuck off and continue working,” he said, his saliva spitting out on Hannah’s face.

She felt bits of his saliva hit her cheeks and that made her cringe with her face filled with disgust.

‘This asshole is so disgusting,’ she thought as she wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand.

“Are you resorting to ad hominem, now that you have nothing else to say? Isn’t that kind of low?” she giggled, making the man feel more furious.

“What did you say!” the coworker yelled, feeling the urge to hit Hannah as he clenched his fists.

Without them realizing it, their coworkers were actually watching then fight. It was so early in the morning, yet they were already fighting like that.

Even though they were causing a disturbance, people didn’t want to do anything about it because it was too troublesome to meddle and they also wanted to hear more.

“Hey, leave,” Carl said, finally stepping up. “You don’t yell at someone like that,” he said as he pulled Hannah’s arm and put her behind him.

“You’re gonna be facing me from here on. If you’re planning to hit someone with those tiny fists of yours, then hit me. Not her,” he said as he looked at the man’s clenched fists.

Hannah wanted to stop Carl from butting in because she could still defend herself, but after listening to what he had to say, she felt her heart flutter.

Truly, Carl was never the type to do things like that because he really gets along with other people and only fights with her. But seeing him like this to defend her makes her feel butterflies inside her stomach.

Before the coworker could retort to what he said, he saw Mark walking in their direction.

He had a calm expression, just like his usual face, but something about it felt off and they all knew it.

“Mr. Joe, come with me to my desk,” Mark said as soon as he got close to them.

Whispers from their coworkers could be heard as they were looking at them.

“He deserves that.”

“He was so rude. Why would he yell at her like that?

“Hannah has a point earlier. Who in the world just walks up to someone and asks something personal?”

“He’s so thoughtless. Why is an idiot here?

“I hope he gets fired.”

The whispers that the man heard from other people made his blood boil, but at the same time, he also felt embarrassed. There was no way he’d speak and make a fool of himself again because that would only embarrass him even more.

“Yes, sir,” he said as he looked at Mark, who was looking at him with a blank face.

“All of you, get back to work,” Mark said as he smiled at them.

Just as he told them so, everybody sat on their chairs and faced their computers. Mark and Mr. Joe started walking away, finally leaving the three alone.

They were all silent as they faced their computers, but Justin broke the silence between the three of them.

“What was he talking about back then? I mean, I can get a bit of an idea from what the two of you said while you were fighting, but I want to know the rest of the details,” Justin said while still facing his computer.

“You were in heat, right? I called Hannah to watch over you and ask if you were alright because I thought you’d be more comfortable with her. And then strangely, people suddenly flocked to the room where you were,” Carl said as he turned his swivel chair and looked at Justin.

“Your pheromones were leaking out from the room,” he continued. “Someone called Sir Mark over since he is our manager, and then the next thing I knew, someone was making a huge fuss outside,” he said and shrugged.

“I… I was there. Right in front of that person when he was making a scene. He was pushing us aside so he could get to the door. Of course, nobody wanted to let him in because he’s an alpha and you’re an omega in heat,” Hannah said as she lowered her head a little.

“It was Sir Lee. He looked so scary at that time that I couldn’t even move form where I stood. He looked like he’d devour anyone who gets in his way,” she continued to explain. “When I finally snapped back to reality, he was already hitting the doorknob so he could get in. The door opened and he ran to you as soon as it did. I really thought he was gonna hurt you then, but when I saw that he was hugging you so tightly, I wasn’t sure what to think anymore,” she said as she faced Justin.

“It looked like he was trying to restrain himself from biting you to the point where he was burying his nails into his thighs and biting his arm just to stop himself from doing that,” she said with scrunched eyebrows, trying to remember how Tristan looked that day.

‘Ah, that makes sense. The only thing I remembered then was Tristan hugging me. That’s all I had a memory of. I didn’t think that something like that happened. But…’ Justin thought, the pieces finally falling together.

“But how did he know I was in heat? He’s a lot of floors above ours. There’s no way he’d be able to smell my pheromones from there,” Justin said, confused as to how Tristan found out about it.

“That’s a mystery to me, too. Well… at that moment, it seemed like talk about an omega in heat was going around the company at that moment. But the company is so big that it would be kind of impossible for that to reach him as soon as that, though. And how would he even know which department it was that had an omega in heat?” Hannah said and shrugged.

“Maybe he just knew,” Carl continued. “What do you mean?” Hannah said as she moved her head to look at him.

She was confused as to what Carl was talking about.

“What are you talking about? How would he even ‘just know that’?” she continued asking.

“Maybe if they’re fated pairs?”
