Kiss Me If You Can [NOVEL] - Chapter 13

“A threatening letter?”

Face stiff, Mark showed the note at the meeting.

The original was turned over to the investigative agency, so what was left was a copy. The content of the crude bullying text, made by cutting and pasting magazines, was not very extensive.

“God’s Judgment for the Dominant Alpha!”

Josh turned the paper around and handed it to Seth, who saw it and passed it to Henry and Henry to Isaac, after everyone saw the note, Mark opened his mouth:

“I’m skipping all the fan letters or hater jokes they send to the office, but this one is different from those.”

“There is no address on the envelope.”

Mark nodded at Josh’s comments.

“Someone put it in the mailbox. But there is nothing on CCTV. How did it happen?”

Seth muttered with a serious face:

“Who are the people who visit this place …?”

They all tried to remember and fell silent. Mark continued speaking:

“Everyone who comes in and out of the mansion now has at least a year working here. The company said they were hired after strong identification. But I don’t know, so I’m going to blacklist them all just in case.”

“Was the religious group responsible for this?”

Mark shook his head when Isaac asked.

“This alone is not enough to conclude that. Maybe it is a camouflage. The most urgent thing now is how to get through the next party safely.”

“Party?” Seth asked as soon as he heard from Mark, but immediately remembered. “Ah.”

Seth, distraught, looked at everyone with compassion. The rest held their heads. Chase has decided to attend a party to promote the film, which is supposed to start filming soon, because his role is so close to that of the protagonist.

A threatening letter at a time like this. Josh sighed. Furthermore, there were frequent terrorist attacks against dominant Alphas. Keith Pittman, owner of the production company and a dominant Alpha, was also attacked. He was probably a target, because he’s a celebrity, but Chase Miller was several times more famous than he was. During Chase’s stay in the house, everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the peace, but it’s over. Mark opened his mouth with a serious face:

“Let’s talk about what we’re going to do at the party. First of all, the location is Mr. Pittman’s mansion …”

Everyone focused on his words without saying anything. Around the end of the story, Mark added:

“Everyone has their tailcoat, right? Take care of your clothes, and if you don’t have them, let’s all rent together tomorrow. What do you think? Now who didn’t bring it?”

He raised his hand and looked around everyone once.

Nobody raised their hand. Soon, Mark said with a disappointed look.

“Is it just me?”

Henry said irritably:

“What is a Frac? Why do we have to be like peacocks? Can’t it just be the suit you wear to work?”

And smiled.

“I can’t help it if they ask me.”

Mark replied in a dry voice.

Suddenly, Isaac and Josh’s gaze met. Isaac smiled

“I’m looking forward to seeing Josh wearing Frac.”

“Josh is fine even when he’s naked.”

They all looked at Seth dumbfounded.

Isaac asked first before Josh opened his mouth, his face was stiff.

“How do you know?”

Henry pulled his upper body back and made an expression like it was disgusting. Then Seth said confused:

“What are those looks? We all went on vacation together before, to Miami!”

“Ah.”

“Ah.”

It was suddenly heard all over the place. They looked back at their memories. Isaac looked at Josh with a much more relaxed face.

“That’s right. On that occasion you surfed.”

Josh sympathized with his vague expression as if he remembered.

“Yeah, it was fun.”

It was before Pete, so he spent a lot of time with the members, including vacations. He thought he had good memories, but Henry had different opinions.

“When did that happen? I’m not going with you again, damn it. Wherever you go, women and men, you destroy everything.”

“Josh is handsome and has a good body, he can’t help it,” Isaac added jokingly.

“I’m a little short.” Josh added, “But thanks.”

Then Seth smiled and sympathized.

“Right, that’s Josh’s only downside.”

Josh didn’t hesitate and hit Seth on the back of the head without getting angry. Then Seth playfully looked at Josh and soon added:

“Thanks to you, we’ve had a lot of dates too. I’d love to go with Josh. The women will speak to him first, so I don’t have to strain to hunt.”

“It’s definitely an advantage, if you’re not married …”

Immediately after speaking Isaac looked at Mark.

After Isaac finished speaking, Mark hastily coughed and said:

“I have to call at home.”

Josh, who was in a hurry to get Mark’s attention from behind him, noticed that the look Henry was giving Isaac wasn’t very good, he was watching him with an angry expression.

Did Isaac say something offensive? He looked back at his memory, but nothing came to mind. Henry seemed to have the urge to want to fight Isaac.

Should he stay and stop it?

He thought about it for a while, but it was useless. Contrary to expectations, Henry got up without saying a word and tried to leave his seat. He didn’t forget to throw a word at Josh at the end.

“It’s your turn in the monitor room.”

“Okay,” Josh said with a smile. After the short reply, he added, “Good evening, Henry.”

He looked at Josh silently. Like most Alphas, he has a beautiful face. After a while, Henry turned around, cursing briefly and left. Then Josh got up from his seat and his eyes met Isaac’s.

“… Do you have something to say?”

He suddenly remembered that he was trying to tell him something today. Isaac opened his mouth and soon looked back at Seth, who was just reviewing his security plans again. Isaac looked back at Josh and smiled as usual.

“No, next time.”

“… Okay.”

It is private?

He didn’t even have to ask, so Josh just turned and headed for the monitor room.

“Uh.”

As he went through the screens one by one, he hesitated. The camera reflecting Chase’s bedroom was in poor condition. When he informed Mark, he responded as if he already knew.

“It’s been weird for a few days. Last time I saw him, he lost his record … I’m thinking we should take a look at him. The other day, Laura asked if it would be better to remove the CCTV from his room. How she is too involved in his private life, she must be nervous, just in case something leaks … There is no one like that in our group, but we are not completely trustworthy yet.”

The record probably referred to the day Josh intentionally erased it. Josh pretended not to know anything and said:

“Laura is right, anyway, there are other cameras near the bedroom …”

“Well, anyway, I really didn’t fix it. I thought about turning it off. I’m a little nervous to get rid of it …”

Without finishing, Mark hung up.

Josh stared at the screen silently. As Mark said, the camera that was glowing in the bedroom would sometimes flicker and the quality was not very good. He was thinking for a moment and saw Chase come out of the bathroom. He was completely naked. At that moment Josh was mesmerized. His perfect physique and face were so clearly recognizable, even on the shabby screen.

He sat up on the bed, throwing a clean towel at his feet. Chase, who hadn’t moved for a while, suddenly looked up. Although it couldn’t be, Josh had the illusion of making eye contact with him via CCTV. Chase opened his mouth. His sweet lips moved as if whispering something, the screen suddenly turned off.

“What?”

Josh, screaming unconsciously jumped to his feet.

It blinked several times, but the screen went black and nothing changed. He conflicted for a while, alternately staring at the door and the screen.

Should I run? Won’t it happen like then?

Wait, his RUT had arrived back then. It is not possible at all at this time. Knowing that he was just getting out of taking a shower.

Still, it was when he turned around, that the screen suddenly came back, as it did when it was turned off. Josh hesitated and fixed his eyes. Chase on the screen was already in bed. A thin sheet was over his body.

“… Ah.”

Josh dropped into his chair with a strangled sigh.

What do I have to do? He even received a threatening letter,he couldn’t ask him to turn off the camera. However, it was almost torture to see that image every time.

Feeling guilty and at the same time hating himself, he rubbed his face violently.

In the end, Josh told Mark that for now he would be in charge of outside security. The risk of being swept away by the scent of pheromones would be much lower and it would also be in many ways more beneficial. Even if his body gets more tired.

And a few days later, the sun finally set to make room for Keith Pittman’s party night.

✤✤✤✤✤✤

There was tension in the mansion since the morning, many people came and went. Cutting specialists, coloring specialists, massage specialists, etc., chase Chase from head to toe and decorate him like a peacock.

“It’s something famous people don’t have to do.”

Isaac shook his head like he was tired of just looking at him.

Josh had similar thoughts, but the reasons were a little different.

You don’t have to do that, do you?

If he went to bed and got up and went to the party, people would still praise him.

When Chase, whose hair had been dyed by the hands of an expert and had finished all the preparations, appeared, everyone had the same thought.

The zombies will double.

“Everyone, be ready for today.”

Mark alerted with a nervous look.

Nobody made a joke. Each had their own weapons. Everyone except Seth got into the car stiff-faced and soon left the mansion.

✤✤✤✤✤✤

It’s probably for safety that Keith Pittman decided to hold an event at his home, even though it’s a party to promote the movie. The company’s security team is said to have temporarily hired a large number of new bodyguards.

Fully prepared, inside the car, Josh thought of Keith Pittman. The most powerful man in the world, the creator of scandals, loved by the media and a dominant Alpha. The important thing was that he is Emma’s boss. Pittman was a really dangerous man then and now. Especially from the point of view of an older brother with a rather young sister.

When Keith Knight Pittman first took over the entertainment company and went into business, many people complained that he had probably made the wrong investment trying to start a management company to become a celebrity. It was also speculated that he might have tried to choose a role that suited his taste after growing the production company. Of course, they were all wrong. He had never stood in front of the screen himself, despite looking as splendid as most of the dominant Alphas. The only rumor that remained among countless rumors is that he bought the company to choose his companions.

Indulgence towards dominant Alphas is inevitable, but their natural debauchery bores the general public. Keith Knight Pittman, was no exception.

Upon entering a grocery store attached to a roadside gas station, photos of him could often be seen decorating the cover with his gorgeous beauty. They were all so sure they would recognize Keith’s face even if he tried to be inconspicuous. Of course, getting a chance to pose with him is as unlikely as winning a lottery. That’s why when he first heard that Emma got a job as a secretary, Josh felt like he had to take care of his sister’s future.

“Don’t you have another place to work?”

Emma was sarcastic with the man who showed signs of reluctance.

“If you knew a place that’s as good as this Josh, wouldn’t you show up for work?”

There was no way he knew such a place.

Josh had been quite concerned for several months that Pittman’s promiscuous private life might hurt Emma. It was different from what happened in high school when people were chasing Emma, ​​scaring her. Besides, Josh was too far away to protect his little sister. The only consolation was the fact that Pittman’s splendid appearance was far from Emma’s liking. Sadly, Emma had a terrible eye for men.

In Josh’s eyes, there are many more handsome men, but among so many men, she used to only go after those who were like weirdos. He even introduced her to the most popular player on Josh’s team, but she turned him down, and confessed her love to the biggest nerd in school, the difference was not satisfactory. Josh got angry and went with his colleagues to scold the boy, but Emma scolded him more.

Keith Knight Pittman seems to be a million light years away from Emma’s liking, but Josh still couldn’t trust her. He was worried that she would fall in love with Pittman. It suddenly tasted strange, but thankfully, he still hasn’t seen such a sign of infatuation. Emma must still be obsessed with the most deer-like man in the herd. However, as soon as he was about to feel safe, he suddenly remembered what Emma said when they last saw each other.

“Romance is supposed to sprout at work”

His face turned pale at that moment.

Is there someone she is interested in? Don’t tell me it’s Pittman?Josh was suddenly nervous, but there was nothing he could do now. Fortunately, Pittman didn’t seem to touch his subordinates. He has been working for some years without any problem, and until now he could not feel any sudden love. But that kind of thing happens regardless of the period. Emma’s past love stories came to mind like in a movie. Whenever she liked someone she went after him and in the end it didn’t always end well. It was truly incomprehensible. Of course, she is Josh’s younger sister, but Emma was quite a beautiful woman even in his eyes. When she was in school, he spent quite a bit of time taking care of her from the shitty guys who were approaching her. Of course Emma hated him, but Josh was serious.

How could he let guys like that talk to her little sister? It wouldn’t be any different if he was a dominant Alpha, Josh would have the same attitude.

Emma said that every time Keith Pittman chooses a partner, the secretarial team leader creates his own catalog and presents candidates whenever he wishes; so Pittman chooses one of them. Fortunately, the team leader had no accident when choosing the candidates, he was clear about the merits they should have, nor did Emma become Pittman’s target.

After so many years, he was quite relieved and almost forgot. Emma rarely told him about her work at the company, and Josh never imagined that he would see Pittman in person. Josh did not tell his family about his current job. Anyway, everything about Chase Miller was top secret. Fortunately Emma would not be going to the party tonight. Josh was relieved to hear that most of these events were in the hands of the secretarial team leader. The party of the dominant Alpha was not entrusted to just anyone.

Now Emma will be home after work, resting. Instead, Josh was in the car on his way to work. That’s great.

“Have you ever seen Pittman?”

Suddenly Isaac, sitting next to him, began to speak.

Josh shook his head and said, “No.” He muttered forward, staring nonchalantly.

“Does he have a bad temper too?”

Josh asked back.

“Is there a dominant Alpha who doesn’t have a bad temper?”

Isaac was speechless. They reached their destination without speaking further.

✤✤✤✤✤✤

The party at Pittman’s house was packed with reporters and the general public who had been waiting early. The public stretched out beyond the edge of a massive iron gate, but only a small part of the space was open to the public, at the same time being blocked by a rope as a barrier.

“AHH…!”

As soon as Josh opened the car door and got out, there were screams almost breaking into tears. The tremendous roar made Josh wince at the thought of a flock of zombies rushing towards Chase. Not far away, he could see the actress who was working alongside Chase walking by while waving her hands to greet the guests. Everyone, including Josh, immediately surrounded Chase’s car. After taking a quick look around, Mark opened the car door. And Chase Miller finally showed up.

” …!”

For a moment, the hearing disappeared completely. Everyone stopped, including Josh. The ears were deaf despite the fact that one ear was blocked in half by an earpiece. But when Chase came into view, Josh was completely shocked. It was characterized according to the new role it performs. He had dyed black hair. His white skin contrasted with his dark hair, and he looked particularly pale, but his lips were red, highlighting the expression he used to have. As he continued, with a trivial movement he lifted a slightly loose hair with a finger, not only those who were watching from outside, but also the people who were in the mansion were surprised.

“Crazy is handsome and shit.”

Henry’s murmurs behind him brought him to his senses.

It was a harsh expression, but he couldn’t help but feel empathy. Anyone who actually sees Chase Miller would think the same. Even Josh, who saw him almost every day, was so sick and tired of his terrible temper that he lost his mind. Chase’s flamboyant blonde hair glowed black tonight. On top of that, the short hair style made the graceful face frame stand out even more. He thought that Chase would be breathtakingly handsome even if he shaved his head. However, instead of shaving his hair, he was well groomed with black hair and wore a suit that suited his tall, well-dressed figure. It was perfect, like he was at an Academy Award. Flashes went off everywhere as planned, and people kept yelling his name. Chase waved his hand with an expressionless face.

Henry complained.

“Abominable bastard.”

Josh thought about it a bit too. People struggled from place to place. The bodyguards fought them with all their might. As there have already been several accidents, the number of bodyguards deployed was enormous and the measures were strictly enforced.

Whoo.

Only afterwards did they finally break through the crowd and enter the mansion where the party was being held. Everywhere he looked, it was packed with actors, staff, and influencers who were invited into the film. Even Isaac, who wasn’t very interested in celebrities, was mesmerized for a while. Mark was also momentarily stunned, but soon regained consciousness and comforted the members.

“You have to start, stay alert. Everyone knows what to do, right?”

“Yes, Mark.”

They all responded one after another.

Josh soon turned to look and checked his surroundings. At first glance I see the butler greeting the guests, he winked at Mark and then took a step back. This was because he was in charge of looking around according to his instructions. Henry and Isaac were some distance from Chase and were watching, and they were ready to move as soon as possible. Seth had the role of guarding inside the mansion.

Although he had received information about the attendance of the main people, he could not distract his attention because he did not know all the guests, bodyguards and staff. Josh’s job was to make sure there were no particularly suspicious movements around. Most of the people gathered were famous people, and Pittman hired more bodyguards than usual, so there will be no accidents. However, he was not relieved, he even received a threatening letter. Josh hadn’t let his guard down even with other bodyguards watching the surroundings. As he quickly looked around, his sight suddenly found a man and he hesitated. He realized it without having to check his purple eyes. The man was obviously a dominant Alpha.

Keith Pittman. Josh thought inwardly.

You have seen his face in countless media, but this is the first time you have seen him in person. Pittman was as tall as expected. Furthermore, his impeccable suit and hidden physique were perfect. Josh secretly sympathized with the media, lamenting why he didn’t make a movie. He thought he would be a big hit just breathing into one corner of the screen. At that moment, as he thought about it, Josh belatedly realized that he didn’t smell his pheromone. At the same time, an ear with a clear marking appeared in his sight.

“Is Pittman married?”

He whispered to Mark in a low voice.

“No. You didn’t know? Someone must have left the mark on their own. He’s going crazy looking for the criminal right now,” Mark added sourly to the startled Josh. “He must have been crazy because of the RUT, but he doesn’t know who he is. If the Alpha gets the mark unilaterally, that’s it. If you can’t find that Omega, you will have to live alone forever. Who would have guessed that Pittman would be held back by a faceless partner?”

Although the situation for Josh is the opposite, it didn’t seem like anyone else’s business to hear that. At least Josh knew who owns his brand. Josh empathized with the Alpha. Keith Pittman won’t be able to smell anyone’s pheromones while the mark is etched. Unless it’s the scent of the Omega that left the mark. When you looked at that situation, the Alpha was definitely at a disadvantage against the Omega. His life is mortgaged at the same time the mark is recorded. Josh casually touched his ears with the headphones and thought.

I can’t believe I can find a new partner, but they – the Alphas – can’t.

At the same time, he remembered Pete’s face, Josh sympathized with Keith.

Yes, it was me, not Chase who lost his mind.

“He said he would kill him if he found him.”

Josh fixed his mind on the sudden addition of Mark.

I’m glad I’m not the owner of the brand.

After checking Chase’s entrance to the party, Mark ordered everyone to go to their respective positions. Josh moved to look around the mansion, as he had already been told. There were constant screams outside the mansion.

✤✤✤✤✤✤

“… I see, I’ve never seen him before.”

“They’re really purple, it’s incredible.”

Chase distorted his brow and ignored them. Little whispers or harassing looks was something he had been receiving his entire life. Maybe that will continue until I die. Perhaps even after death, Chase will continue to be the subject of gossip and ridicule. Just because he was a dominant Alpha, he used to draw the gaze of everyone around as if they were looking at a rare animal. In fact, the term “rare animal” was true. Among the crowd at the party, at this moment, Pittman and Chase were the only dominant Alphas. They just weren’t trapped in a cage.

At first glance, Chase frowned at the man who looked at him frequently. Regardless, he’s known for a long time that everyone is drawn to his face. Furthermore, the man did not deny it. That insolent kid.

He drank the champagne nervously. What made him even more upset was the fact that he cared for that man. The fact that Josh had escaped Chase’s attention for a few days was also enough to make him irritated. I don’t think he’s going to quit. Chase paused, remembering that he hadn’t seen Josh very often.

Why am I thinking of that man now? It doesn’t matter if he quit or not.

The party is very boring , he thought.

He had to find something interesting, but there was no way that would happen, usually at parties the Dominant Alphas are the main show, but Chase’s case was especially more evident. He didn’t want to get tired of dealing with people at a party he was attending on duty. These people were just gossiping in a secluded place. Chase’s best defense was to ignore the people around him.

Just say goodbye to Keith Pittman and come back. As usual.

But there was always someone who tried to be friendly.

“Long time no see, Chase. How have you been?”

He looked for a moment at the woman who had spoken to him. It was obvious that he couldn’t remember who she was. The woman smiled and introduced herself.

“Naomi Parker. We are working on the same movie, nice to meet you.”

Chase was forced to hold the small white hand she offered him and then released it. Now go, Chase thought inwardly, staring at her with a stiff face, but Naomi didn’t care. She gazed cheekily and curiously at Chase, then fixed her gaze on his face.

“I heard Grayson was dying because the role didn’t suit you, but you look better than I thought. Why the hell did he say that? He must be worried because you’re his little brother, huh?”

His brother’s name came from the mouth of an actress who was not very close to him, but it was not surprising. Looking at her laughing as if to revive his memory, Chase replied bitterly:

“You mustn’t be serious.”

“Oh seriously? Why? He is so good.”

Naomi asked, with an exaggerated blink.

Chase popped champagne into his mouth instead of answering. Grayson must have slept with this woman. Chase’s reaction was cold because it was common for Grayson to disguise himself as “a lone wolf,” wandering around in search of true love and nonsense, but Grayson was just a man with nothing to do. He has never felt emotions. It was obvious what Grayson had said on paper without having to consult Naomi. Others may be right to say, “I felt embarrassed and overreacted,” but this was never the case for Grayson.

Chase was sick and tired of his own brother, it is a real bitter hatred that he felt. As the reaction was cold, Naomi smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

“Have you read the work? There are so many series that I couldn’t read them all, but honestly, I was surprised. Chase is Dr. Plame. Of course, my character also seems to have a lot of dialogue.”

The actress, famous for her complicated personal life, was a bit embarrassed that she would play the opposite role from her normal image.

“We should both work hard, right?”

Her eyes trembled uneasily for a moment, as opposed to a soft smile. Even if she was a confident lead actress, she seemed to be worried. But Chase just looked at her with a frown. Naomi slowly became nervous for another reason at Chase’s almost silent reaction.

Can I perform with a man like this?

She knew very well that Chase’s performance was good because she had seen his movies, but it was just the result of editing, filming together was a different matter. Naomi doubted.

“Do you know what roles you and I are in?”

Another voice intervened before Chase dared to reply.

“Of course you know, because you signed the contract.”

Naomi’s expression stopped and she turned around enlightened. A familiar face was there. Eventually the idea of ​​escaping a difficult situation surfaced, but Chase didn’t care. These kinds of experiences always happened.

“Keith.”

She spoke with a warm welcome.

She was about to regret pretending to know Chase.

“Long time no see, thanks for letting me take on the role. Actually, it was an unexpected role.”

When she smiled and thanked him, Keith Pittman opened his mouth with a blank face as if he already knew.

“They all thought I was just hanging out with you and the role was not suitable.”

“No one thought that. It is not true?”

Naomi spoke, and Keith still replied nonchalantly:

“Then you can prove they are wrong and that I am.”

“Oh God.”

It ripped clearly.

Unlike her image as a representative sexy star in Hollywood, she was a mischievous laugh. With a brighter face, Naomi looked around her and soon blinked.

“But what happened to your partner? I think I saw her before, right?”

This man wouldn’t be alone at the party, Naomi thought.

But Keith didn’t seem to have much intention of answering. All he had to do was take out a cigar and put it in his mouth. He didn’t know where his partner was or he didn’t seem interested at all. Just in time, at the end of Naomi’s view, the filmmaker entered. She said goodbye and quickly left her seat.

The murmuring continued in a calm and incessant way. But the two did not speak. They looked at each other in silence. It was Keith who opened his mouth first:

“Grayson has been haunting me for days.”

Unsurprisingly, Chase just smirked cynically. However, he was a little curious about Keith’s reaction, who deftly lit the cigarette and blew out a lot of smoke.

“You really don’t have to force yourself to do it if you don’t like it. Of course, you will have to pay the fine.”

It was a speech that was not mixed with emotions at all. Naturally he was sincere and so was Chase.

“I don’t intend to pay a fine.”

“Yes.”

That was it. Keith said nothing more. There was a moment of silence and he raised the cigarette to his lips.

“It’s not easy living as Grayson’s brother.”

Keith muttered to himself.

Chase laughed briefly.

“If you were my brother, it would have been a little better.”

He didn’t even reply. After that, white smoke ran through the air. Keith opened his mouth, flicking the cigarette a few times between his long fingers and letting the ash fall.

“My brother would never think that.”

If he could change Grayson as his brother for one day, he would thank God Keith was his brother, Chase thought nonchalantly.

As the ashes of the half-burned cigarette fell onto the passing waiter’s ashtray, Keith suddenly turned his eyes to the side. The cigarette smoke trapped between his fingers rose sharply. Strange as it seemed, he looked in one direction as if it had hardened and was gone before he could say anything, leaving him behind in an instant.

Chase, who was left alone, lit a cigarette and stood there for a moment. The noise of the people echoed past his ears. He tried to drink champagne, but of course he was not drunk. He already knew that he had to drink all the champagne at the party to get drunk. Laughter and nonsense chatter occurred here and there, but he was alone. Ah , he let out a sigh and blinked white with the cigarette in his mouth. Suddenly he missed the cool breeze strongly. When he turned and tried to step out into the hall, a woman he had never seen before stood in front of him.

“Hello, Mr. Miller. Can I call you Chase?”

Chase scowled at her. The situation was common, a “no matter what you say, I’ll call you whatever I want.”

“Nice to meet you for the first time, Chase. I am Rebeca Lee and we are going to make a movie together. Just call me Becky.”

As expected, she gave him her nickname familiarly. But still Chase didn’t respond and continued with an expressionless face. All he could think of was how to get out of that hallway. Becky stood her ground, although she might be embarrassed by the nonchalant response, she continued with a still smiling face.

“I really wanted to meet you. I’ve never seen a dominant Alpha before. Today I also met Mr. Pittman, but you are really so beautiful.”

A light of pure praise fell on Becky’s face. It wasn’t the first time he had been openly congratulated in such a way, but it wasn’t that often. Chase narrowed his eyes to try to understand her intentions. Whether it was curiosity in the face of a rare creature or the intention to establish a relationship to use the recognition of a prominent actor or both.

“When they told me that you were going to be in this movie, somehow I clung to the director, because I wanted to win the role. I really wanted us to work together. I’m really a huge fan, Chase. Really really.”

The enthusiastic and cheering voice was no different from that of a passionate fan.

She took two glasses of champagne from the waiter’s tray and handed one to Chase, as if to toast, Chase took it and emptied it immediately, thinking internally.

This should be sufficient.

But as soon as he moved, she immediately followed him.

“Can I talk to you about work? I’m your fan, I’m also a fan of Dr. Flame. I want to hear what Chase thinks about Dr. Flame.”

Becky grabbed Chase’s arm.

Suddenly, the distance decreased and a smell that he hadn’t been aware of flowed through his nose. It was an Omega fragrance. Chase paused and looked at Becky, opened his mouth for the first time, looking into Becky’s bright eyes that awaited her reaction with an excited face.

“… Are you an Omega?”

“Yes.”

She responded shyly. The scent of pheromones grew stronger and she felt the flush on her cheeks. Becky was openly trying to seduce Chase. But that was not the end. He could smell another Omega from the back. Chase was embarrassed for the first time.

Are there so many Omega in this party? Keith didn’t say that.

“Ah.”

He realized.

Pittman cannot smell the other pheromones at all. So he won’t be tempted unless it’s the Omega that left a mark on him. But I am…

Chase bit his lip and felt a cold sweat behind his back. Becky came over and hugged him.

“Chase.”

“Get off!” He yelled and shook his arm.

He was immediately flooded with shocked stares from people, but Chase gasped and looked at Becky with red eyes.

“Get lost, don’t stay here, whether you’re my fan or whatever. Because it is unpleasant. Omegas gross me out!”

At that moment, Becky’s face heated up. People exchanging nonsensical chats in the surroundings looked towards the scene. Chase, however, looked at her once and left her without saying a word.

He grinds my teeth, leaving the constant murmur behind. I’m sick of everything

Soon, he realized that it was wrong. He should have come back. He was sorry, but it was too late. He made the next best option. He was in a hurry to find a cigarette. The scent of pheromones on the tip of his nose kept confusing his head.

Damn, she was an Omega.

All he could do, even though he clenches his teeth loudly, is hold his breath and quickly light a cigarette. His goal was to offset the effects of pheromones with nicotine.

Whoo

He pressed down on the smoke he had hastily inhaled and held it in, then slowly exhaled. The pheromone scent became faint after inhaling smoke again, holding it in, and exhaling a couple more times. The dizziness came from the sudden inhalation of cigarette smoke and his head was confused.

“… Fuck that bitch.”

In the end, Chase rubbed his eyes violently with his wrists. He was so angry that he couldn’t bear it.

If there’s someone in front of me right now I’m going to beat them to death.

Then came the sound of leaves rustling to his ears. There was the man from Chase’s dream. Joshua Bailey. Chase called his name, looking at him with astonished eyes.

-End-
