He splashed water on his face as soon as he reached the sink. As it slowly rolled down on his cheeks, he wiped his chin and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
Kiel suddenly felt hot. He took off two buttons and loosened his tie for a while. That trigger still lingers in his mind. For sure, Devyn didn't mean to say it. She didn't know everything, after all. It was his own instinct to react like that.
Even though he wanted to stay like they used to be, things changed now. They're not children anymore, and both of them have personal responsibilities when it comes to their family.
He immediately brushed those thoughts and went back to the dining area after fixing himself.
"What took you so long?" Devyn asked him as he sat down. She was mixing her sauce on the salad.
"I apologized. Let's eat, President. You still have an after lunch meeting."
After eating, the two of them headed outside. Kiel paid the restaurant and gave a tip to the waiters. While they're on their way down the parking lot, they happened to meet a familiar figure.
"Devyn?"
A smile went across his cheeks, making the man more handsome. His blonde hair was brushed up, and he was wearing a white suit and gray polo. He was with his bodyguard and from the looks of it; he was in a hurry but still stopped by for the lady.
Devyn scanned the man from head to toe. She clicked her tongue as soon as she felt those pheromones around her. "Raye, how many times do I have to tell you to stop spreading your disgusting pheromones around me?" It was calm, but full of emphasis.
Raye laughed, retracting his pheromones. "I am sorry. I just can't hide it when I'm with you." he checked his wristwatch. "Did you also eat here? Now I regret not seeing you earlier so that we can eat together."
However, after seeing that another figure beside the lady, his smiling face vanished. "Oh, I didn't realize that Mr Kiel was here, too," he said with a fake smile.
The assistant bowed. "Nice to see you here, Young Master of the Edon Clan."
Raye Edon, the only son of the Edon Clan known all over Leam City. The 2nd City's ruler. It was their territory. He had three omega sisters and was the only dominant alpha. He got all the luxuries and was spoiled by his father.
One of the reasons why he's like this with Devyn was because he's so tired of watching her sisters being weak during their heat. He said that he prefers those dominant omegas like the daughter of the Lowell Clan.
Watching Devyn glared at him made him more amused. "Oh my, why the sharp eyes?" he leaned closer and was about to touch the lady on the cheek when another hand blocked his wrist.
"I am sorry, young master. But the president doesn't want any physical touch from anyone." Kiel said in a mannered tone.
Feeling the disgust from the touch, Raye immediately yanked away. He tried to hide that face to impress the lady. "I apologize." He bowed. "That was so rude of me,"
"How rude of you to think that you can touch me casually? Are you starting to blow your big head, Raye?" Devyn said, knowing that this man was spoiled enough by his father.
Raye chuckled, satisfied. "Okay, I'm sorry. No need to make a big fuss." he went back to his smile. "Oh, did you also receive the Fenrir Clan's invitation?" he asked.
"We have," Kiel answered him again. He stepped forward. "Now, if you'll excuse us, young master. The president has an important meeting right now, and has no time for small conversation, but I will gladly accept it if you make an appointment with her."
He gestured for the lady to walk first and said his last words to the guy. "See you at the party, young master Edon."
Devyn walked away with her assistant, not even looking back at Raye.
As soon as the two figures vanished from his sight, Raye's anger gushed to his head and he cursed sternly.
"That fucking arrogant man! Who the hell does he think he is!?" he felt his pride get stepped on for some reason.

Everyone in the lobby bowed their heads when Devyn entered from the parking lot. They took the lift going up straight back to her office.
She removed her suit and threw it on the nearest sofa. "Get me a new one and throw that one immediately." She cursed. "That disgusting smell makes me want to puke."
Scanning the closet, Kiel went back with a new red suit. He wrapped it around the lady and helped her button it.
"I will throw it right away, president. Please go to your meeting. Everyone is waiting for you," he said, stepping back.
Devyn took the folder from her desk, and before exiting, she said. "Wait for me here, and contact Miss Feng. Tell her to deliver the one I choose to the VIP room."
The guy nodded, "Yes, I will."
As soon as the lady vanished from his eyes, he picked up the suit that disgusts Devyn. Kiel put it in a plastic bag and asked the cleaners to dispose of it immediately. He called for another cleaners to disinfect the office's atmosphere to get rid of those left pheromones.
After everything got settled down, Kiel sat down and called Miss Feng. The woman answered quickly and was glad to hear that the president had already chosen.
"Yes, I received her email earlier. I will deliver it immediately."
Kiel nodded. "Thank you for the hard work, Miss Feng." he ended the call and leaned his head on the sofa for a while.
The meeting will surely last for almost an hour, so he had nothing to do for now. Besides, Devyn ordered him to stay here and wait for her.
However, as soon as Kiel blinked his eyes, the drowsiness enveloped his whole body. He must be so exhausted from all the preparations today that he didn't realize how tired he was.
