"Mr Kiel, you look pale all of a sudden."
Miss Anna mumbled. She put a coffee on the guy's desk. "I bought coffee for everyone. This is yours." She smiled and pulled her seat to sit. She and Kiel sometimes used their free time to talk to each other.
Miss Anna came from a poor clan, and just like him, her family also have a big debt to the Lowell Clan. If there was someone who can understand his situation, it's this young lady.
There are 5 clans that rule the 5 cities here. The first one on top was the Lowell Clan. Devyn's parents were the most powerful, including their packs. Their family bloodline was known for producing powerful, dominant alphas. No one dares to step and oppose them.
As for Devyn, who was born to be an omega, the way to crawl up to the top wasn't that easy. Since she was an omega, she used all of her abilities and intelligence to prove herself. She even surpassed her older brother's power over the company. She gained more achievements whenever she went and her name spread all over the Ventus City.
Ventus City was the wealthiest city among the four. This city is known as the Lowell Clan's territory.
"Did the president give you a hard time again?" Miss Anna asked, putting her cup down.
The man shook his head. "It's my fault. I should have brought her the other alpha on my list. She didn't like the celebrity." He replied, twirling the cup of coffee in his hand.
"That must be hard," the young lady sympathized with him. "President Lowell is scary when she's in a bad mood, but it's all thanks to you, Mr Kiel."
Again, the throbbing pain struck his temples again. Kiel lowered his head and then massaged his head for a while. The young lady quickly took a small sprayer from her bag and handed it to the man. "You can use my suppressor perfume."
Everyone in the company knew how strong Devyn pheromones were. They were asked to carry a personal suppressant perfume in order to remove the left scent. Kiel didn't have one because he believed that he would not get affected by it since he was a recessive alpha.
"Thank you." He sprayed a small amount on his palm and rubbed it on his hands just like a hand sanitizer.
'It must be hard for you, Mr Kiel. Inhaling all of her pheromones all alone. Anyone can pass out just like that,' Miss Anna thought, giving the man a worried expression.
It's not even a minute that Kiel finally relaxed for a bit when another company employee knocked on his desk. He tilted his head, that was leaning on the swivel chair.
"Did I disturb you? I'm sorry, but the president is looking for you." It was Mr Mo, their team manager. He came from the president's office to submit some papers and was ordered to call Kiel.
"Eh? But it's still lunchtime?" Miss Anna butted in.
Mr Mo sighed with her. "You know time doesn't matter to Miss Lowell and please let's not talk about that here. Someone might have to see and report us." he said in a whisper.
Kiel stood up, leaving his half cup of coffee on the desk. "I will go now. Please excuse me."
He took a lift going to the said floor and then immediately walked to the office at the edge of the hallways. When he entered, he saw the president talking on the phone. She was facing the window and frowning while mumbling something to the other line.
"I don't want to talk about that anymore." Devyn turned her chair as soon as she heard the door open. She waved her hands, gesturing for Kiel to come closer. "Talk to my assistant," then she handed the phone to the man.
Kiel pressed the phone to his right ear. He recognized the voice. "Madame, yes? This is me, speaking."
It was Devyn's mother and the reason why she wanted her daughter to have dinner with them was because she had someone set up for her like a date.
"Kiel, my dear. Can you please scold Devyn for me? She's not a child anymore. Tell her that she needs to grow up." Madame Lowell almost sighs.
Kiel nodded. "I understood, Madame. Though even I scolded Miss Lowell, she will not listen to me. I am just her assistant, following orders. Please don't think too much, Madame. Your blood pressure might rise up again." he said with such a gentle voice.
"Thank you, Kiel. But I will still not give up, so tell her that."
After the call, Kiel put back the phone down and then he faced the lady. "President, you should consider the madame." he suggested.
"She's so persistent. I told her so many times that I'm not interested in dating anyone. I don't need it." Devyn firmly said.
In time like this, Kiel is the only one who can witness her burst into anger because her mother kept on setting her up on different blind dates.. Everyone out in the company knew her as a cold person.
However, Devyn smells something that she doesn't like. She sprang from her seat and pulled the man by the collar. A glint of dominance escaped the side of her eyes. "Who's scent it this, Kiel?"
Her hot breath traveled down to the man's nape near his ear.
Kiel didn't move or struggle. He let out a breath and replied. "Miss Anna gave me suppressant perfume earlier because I was having a mild headache from inhaling your pheromones."
Devyn smirked. "What an honest man," from Kiel's collar, her hands traveled down to his chest and slightly pushed him. "How rude of you to come here carrying scent from other women. Do you think it's the suppressant perfume that I am smelling right now?"
She tilted Kiel's chin. "That woman must be shameless that she's grabbing every small time you're with her to rub off her smell to you." she looked him in the eyes. "It seems like she's interested in you."
Kiel remained silent. He couldn't deny it if Devyn smelled another scent for him. He's a recessive alpha, so he didn't even think of any other reason why someone would be interested in him.
Devyn's brows scowled, and the atmosphere changed. Her sweet strong pheromones spread all over with dominance.
She put her finger on the man's lips. "Remember this, Kiel. I am the only one who can put my pheromones into you. I don't want any disgusting smell lingering on my property. Do you understand?"
Kiel clenched his fist. "Y-Yes, President."
