Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 51

She hurriedly left the apartment, leaving Victor, whose face was full of confusion with dilated eyes. She rushed down the stairs and ran out of the building.

She boarded the car and sped off down the road at full speed. Arriving at the hotel in 20 minutes, she stepped down from the car and scurried into the facility. However, the receptionist told her that Adrik and Alex left a few minutes ago.

Her eyes fluttered with guilt, and she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She dialed Adrik’s number but he didn’t pick up and she tried two more times but he still didn’t pick up. Was he angry with her? Leia’s face became awkward as she thought. She decided to dial Alex’s number, and he picked up almost immediately.

[Mrs. Leia]

‘Where are you guys?’ Leia bit her lower lip with the back of her teeth as she asked.

[We are at the company]

‘How?’

[Oh don’t worry, I called one of the men to bring another car for us since you took the one we came with]

‘Oh, I see… I will be there in-‘

[No Mrs. Leia, don’t! He’s in a very bad mood and he’s very aggressive towards everyone.] Alex cut her off with his voice a little lower

‘Oh…’ Leia brought down the phone from her ear and her eyes, which were filled with remorse, gazed out of the large glass window in the room. A soft sigh escaped her lips, and she stuffed her phone into her pocket, then went downstairs.

She walked out of the edifice and drove out of the compound. She arrived at Adrik’s company and stepped down from the car. Her eyes stared at the enormous building standing in front of her, and a deep breath exited her lips. She locked the car and ambled into the company.

Leia walked straight to the elevator, ignoring the stares from every worker and purchaser inside the structure.

The elevator took her to the 3rd floor, and she stepped out when the door opened. She walked straight to Adrik’s office and slowly pushed the door open with an awkward expression on her face.

Her eyes fell on Adrik, who, in the notice of her, lifted his eyes to glance at her, and she smiled at him. However, he ignored her and resumed assessing the files in his hands.

The smile on Leia’s face slowly disappeared, replaced by a downcast expression. She walked to his table and cleared her throat to attract his attention. “I’m sorry about what happened earlier.” She apologized, with genuine remorse apparent in her large eyes.

Adrik came to a halt in his scanning of the paper works in his hand and raised his head to look at her. He took a deep breath and dropped the documents on the table. “Does it matter?” He asked and half smiled at her.

“Wh-what do you mean?” Leia’s eyes blinked in confusion, and she couldn’t resist asking.

Adrik chuckled pessimistically and shook his head. “Never mind.” He let out a soft sigh and pulled open his laptop, ignoring Leia, who stood with confusion written all over her face.

She rubbed her hands anxiously and walked over to him. She parted her lips to say something, but Adrik abruptly grabbed her wrist and pinned her down on the table. “Wh-what are you-” She proceeded to ask, but he cut her off with an annoyed groan that escaped his mouth. “Do you even care about me?” He stared down at her with a questioning expression on his face.

Leia’s eyes fluttered, and she went silent. Adrik chuckled and shook his head. “Was expected” He let go of her wrists and left his chair to the window. His eyes gazed out to the sky as pain could be seen to be visible in them.

Leia sat up from the table and slowly walked to stand beside him. She stared at his expressionless face, and a low sigh escaped her lips. “I’m sorry, it’s not what you think, honestly. Something came up and I-”

“I said it doesn’t matter!!” Adrik turned to her and his green eyes glared viciously at her, causing her to flinch back a little. “Don’t explain any shit to me.” He angrily emphasized his words, and with a turn, he ambled back to his chair. He sat down and pulled his phone out of his pocket. “Alex will come to pick you up in a minute.” He said it without sparing her a glance.

Leia’s hands clenched in dissatisfaction, and she stomped to the couch in the office and plopped down on it. She folded her arms and sneaked a peek at him. However, when she saw that he couldn’t care less, the displeasure on her face deepened more.

Adrik raised his head to glance at her, and when he saw how she was seated with folded hands and an ashen face, he shook his head and averted his stare.

A minute passed, and Alex walked in through the door into the office. He bowed to them both and turned to stare at Adrik.

“Take her home.” Adrik casually waved his hand without raising his eyes from the laptop on his desk. Alex nodded and turned to Leia. He parted his lips to say something, but Leia’s pitch-black pupils dangerously glared at him. “I’m not going anywhere.” She adamantly stated and crossed her legs.

Alex’s face grimaced and he turned to glance at Adrik, but he repeated his last sentence. “Take her home.” Alex’s face became awkward in helplessness, and he turned to Leia, but she glared at him again. “Try me, if you have the balls!” She grinned wickedly, causing Alex to dart his eyes around and step back a bit. “Master…” He glanced at Adrik with powerlessness written all over his face.

Adrik lifted his head to stare at Leia, and his eyes lazily blinked. “Go home with him.”

“I said I wouldn’t.” Leia turned her head to look at him. “We are all going home together.” She smiled at him and relaxed on the couch.

Adrik’s brow raised as he gazed at her for a while and he waved his hand at Alex, then returned his attention to the laptop. Alex took a deep breath of relief and walked to his desk to sit down.

The atmosphere went silent and Adrik and Leia ignored each other, making Alex, who was seated in their midst, uncomfortable.. His face became awkward as he noticed they were sneaking a glare at each other, and he slightly shook his head.
