Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Telling Him About Her Past

(Author’s POV)

’Brave, why did you let that professor guy take that girl away?’ Raw, his wolf, asked. He was feeling agitated, though he wasn’t aware of the reason.

’Then what do you think I should have done at that time? Ask him to remove his hand, because my wolf and I weren’t feeling good about it, and continue with the conversation, huhh?’ Brave countered.

’You should have gotten her name at the very least,’ Raw puffed up his cheeks in annoyance. Somehow, he felt an outlandish connection with that female. Though he traced no peculiar odor coming from her.

"M~ r. Eve~ rests, .... Mr. Everests," Elisa called out to him, breaking his and Raw’s conversation. "Huhh?" He gave her a puzzling look and questioned, "What is it, Secretary Queens?" His voice was detached, unlike earlier.

Elisa looked him dead in the eye, her gaze intense, piercing. She wanted to know what went wrong.

But she then instantly changed her demeanor, back to being her innocent and unimpeachable self. "You seem a little lost? Are you alright?" she asked while batting her eyelashes, with a hint of fake concern. She tried to get a hold of his arm once again.

"Thank you for your concern, but I am fine," Brave, very meticulously, removed her hand as he turned to his business partners once again and continued with their earlier discussion. His actions made Elisa narrow her eyes. She gazed at him balefully, ’I need to check why he is still behaving normally? Tonight, I need to visit the pathway to hell. Arghhhh~ .... my efforts, they can’t go to waste. I will need to find a solution. That too, fast.’

Inside the room, Fabian handed Myra a glass of water, which she accepted with both her hands. Taking a sip and calming her nerves down, she gazed at Fabian and asked, point blank, "How did you find me, Fabian?"

Fabian pursed his lips in a thin line, settled beside Myra, though maintained a respectable distance. He then returned her gaze and replied, "As I said, I was looking for you all over the place."

Myra wasn’t convinced as her stare turned sharper. Fabian released a heavy sigh and added, "I met Yelena and Wendy earlier. They both told me that you were here too. We were all calling you on your phone, but it wasn’t going through. So, I didn’t have a choice but to search for you. If you don’t believe me, you can check your phone for confirmation." He tried to sound as casual as possible.

"My phone fell and is now pretty much damaged. The screen is totally chipped. But~ .... I get what you are trying to say," Myra replied, which made Fabian relax a little. But her next words put him in the spot again, "Then, what about the name thing? Why did you call my name wrong? And why did you~ ... " she left her words at that, though she wanted to ask, why did he hugged her out of the blue and hold her by her waist so intimately in front of so many people.

"Did I? Maybe, I was a little nervous because of the speech and tired of greeting guests all through the event," he feigned puzzlement as he made up an excuse again.

"And~ .... what about what you said in front of everyone? About~ ..... how Mr. Larson offered me a position in his company? Why did you lie so blatantly in front of others? That too in front of Secretary Chris?" Myra was throwing question after question at him. "What were you thinking, Fabian?" Although she didn’t want to sound like that, her tone held an accusatory edge.

Fabian scratched the back of his head and said, "I said whatever came to my mind, but it isn’t entirely wrong. Chairman Larson has always recruited talented individuals to work by his side. He mentors them himself and wouldn’t want a hardworking person like you to be snatched away by other companies. I apologize if you think I crossed a line there." His shoulders slumped in dejection.

Myra looked at his figure for a while and sighed heavily, "Still, he hasn’t offered me anything yet. And you even said it in front of his secretary. This will definitely be reported to Chairman Larson and will eventually cause problems for you."

Fabian gave her a tired smile and said, "It’s okay. Chairman Larson isn’t that bad. He is understanding. In fact, the other day, he mentioned that he wanted to hire someone young, ambitious, hardworking, competent, talented, and gifted. And I recommended your name."

Myra was stumped by his sudden revelation. But after much thinking, she connected the dots. She remembered how Jacob was already aware of her name and also said that ’Prof. Stephens’ had always been praising her. So, this was it. This recommendation was the reason.

Guilt washed all over her as she couldn’t look Fabian in the eye. She was feeling ashamed and embarrassed to even doubt him. But the timing of his arrival, his confident lies, they were too uncanny not to notice.
