Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 105
“Booyah!” A low victory yell came from Kiesha, and Leia instantly turned to look at her, only to see the door creaking open.
A smile formed on Leia’s lips, and a low breath of relief left her mouth. “Finally.” She walked to the door and pushed it open. Then they went in, shutting it behind them.
“Guys, we did it.” She said, and Victor and James rejoiced from the other side.
“We will be coming in, in a few minutes.”
Leia turned her head and began to scrutinize the entire office. On the walls were photos of patients that were under him, and, of course, the photo of her mum wasn’t excluded.
Narrowing her eyes, Leia walked towards the photo and plucked it off the wall. She stared at it, and an unknown glint flickered in her eyes. She stuffed it into the pocket of her pants and abruptly turned when the door slammed open and James, who was now clad in nurse’s clothing, barged in.
“Jesus, you scared the hell out of me!” Kiesha bellowed at him and brought down her hand that was placed on her chest.
James slightly shook his head and shut the door. He glanced at the desk in the office and hurriedly walked to it, then opened the ash-colored laptop placed on it.
“This is going to take a while because I will need to hack it.” James glanced at them and returned his focus to the laptop.
Leia took a deep breath and walked to stand at the door. What she’s doing now is probably useless, but it’s at least worth it.

Mr. Fernando smiled as he approached a couple who appeared to be the parents of the boy he was treating.
“Thank you, doctor.” The parents cupped their hands in appreciation and glanced at their child, who was on oxygen.
“That’s my job. No need to worry; your son will be perfectly fine. Nothing is going to happen to him. ” Mr. Fernando assured them and, without saying another word, he walked out of the emergency room.
He pinched his brow and proceeded towards the hallway to make his way to his office.
Victor spotted him from a distance away and immediately contacted all three. “Are you guys done?”
“Nope, not at all. This will take a while,” James replied, and Victor’s face changed in worry.
He took a deep breath and, with an adjustment of his clothing, he hurried towards Mr. Fernando. “Uncle.” He smiled sheepishly as he stood in front of him, blocking his way.
Mr. Fernando jolted back in surprise and raised his eyes to stare at who was in front of him.”Victor…” His eyes fluttered and he reached out his hand to touch Victor on his head.
He abruptly grabbed Victor and pulled him into a tight hug. “It is you.” He chuckled cheerfully and drew back from the embrace to examine him yet again. “I thought you were never going to visit me.”
Victor smiled awkwardly and squinted his eyes. “Of course, I will visit you.” Victor smiled widely, making him appear very innocent.
“Ahh… My boy. ” Mr. Fernando patted him on the shoulder and proceeded to amble to his office, but Victor jumped in front of him, blocking him once again.
Mr. Fernando’s brow creased, and he raised his brow at him. “Is there anything I can do for you?” He asked, with a questioning expression on his face.
Victor cleared his throat and nodded vigorously. “Ahh… do you have time? I really want to talk with you. ” He asked, and Mr. Fernando crinkled his brow a bit in contemplation and slowly nodded at him. “I do have time, but let me keep my things in my office.”
He commenced to walk to his office, but yet again, Victor blocked him with a half-smile on his lips. “It’s really, really important. It can’t wait any longer. Please, uncle.” Mr. Fernados exhaled a deep breath.
He glanced at the hallway, then at Victor, and slightly nodded his head. “Alright then.” He turned around, and together they walked towards the cafeteria in the hospital to take a seat.
“So what is the important thing you want to talk about?” He turned to Victor and asked.
“Um… I… It’s about a girl. ” Victor’s eyes fluttered, and he immediately said the first thing that came into his mind.
“A girl?” Mr. Fernando raised his brow in surprise and gazed intently at Victor. He knew Victor quite well and knew he was not the type that talked about girls that much. I mean, he’s a playboy and just plays with girls. He had never had a serious relationship with a girl.
“Yes… a girl.” Victor nodded, and Mr. Fernando narrowed his eyes at him. “Since when did you start talking about girls… or… are you in love with one?” He asked while suspiciously stroking his beard.
“Ahh… Yes! Yes! I am in love with one.” Victor said and smiled widely to make sure he didn’t appear suspicious.
Mr. Fernando, who obviously noticed his awkward behavior, shrugged it off as he believed that it might be because this was his first time having a conversation with a girl. “What is her name?”
Victor’s eyes fluttered at that question, and he darted his eyes around. ‘This is the worst moment of his life.’ He bit his lower lip in nervousness and an image of a young red-haired woman suddenly emerged in his mind, and he raised his eyes to stare at Mr. Fernando. “Her name is… Selena.”
“Selena.” Mr. Fernando repeated as he drew his head back in surprise. “That is indeed a beautiful name. I can imagine how pretty this girl that made you fall, is.” He grin slyly as he said, while his eyes scrutinized Victor.
“She’s very very alluring and beautiful.” Victor smiled warmly as he said, and he couldn’t help but picture Selena yet again. Wait, what?! What the hell is wrong with him?! He hurriedly shook his head and turned to gaze at Mr.. Fernando.
