13. Nicholas Attraction

Nicholas has spent the better half of his weekend partying, trying to pick up someone who will not make him think about his assistant. Since the moment he saw her, he experienced a sizzling attraction, unlike in the past. He's simply drawn towards her, but the Alpha knew better than to pursue his interest. He did not fuck up.





The Alpha did not want to be selfish and court her because that would mean he has to let her go. He knew Alyssa. Atleast from their brief interactions, he managed to figure her out. She wasn't looking for a mate but earn money for her family. Nicholas had no intention of ruining that for her.




So the next morning he went to the office with a straight face, his desire buried deep within.




"Alyssa" He called her.




The assistant perked, following him.




"Good morning Nicholas."



Her bright smile made his heart twist. "Morning"




"I need for you to organise my cabinet files, once you get done with that, I need for you to start answering all my calls today. Make sure to take detailed messages and organise them as well. I am on a zoom meeting till lunch. Got it?"




The omega nodded, reaching over to grab a sticky note and a black pen to write all the stuff down.





"Don't let anyone in, yeah?" Nicholas licked his lips.




"Okay. Anything else, Nicholas?" She chewed on her lips, writing down.




The Alpha couldn't help but stare at her, his groin tightening. Her plump pink lips almost glistened a glaze that he wanted to lick. It took him a lot of effort to avert his eyes.




"Do you want me to get you coffee then?"



Nicholas chuckled nervously. "No, thank you. I'll make one myself."



Her brows furrowed but she nodded her head.




Nicholas grabbed his blazer from the back of the chair and turned on his heel. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Alyssa take into his messy cabinet before walking towards it. There's an unreadable expression on her face before she plopped down in front of the right cabinet.




Everything was simply thrown in and in complete disarray.




She rolled her shoulders, reaching into her back pocket to pull out her phone and headphones. The Alpha quirked his lips at that. The omega was truly creative when she wanted to be so with one last look; he walked out.

“Girl trouble?” Adrian's voice echoed in his ears as he took a sip of his coffee.



The Alpha was not startled because he had smelled his friend's scent. He simply shook his head, eyes averting. How can he tell his best friend that he’s attracted to their assistant?




“Talk to me!” Adrian plopped on the seat beside him.




“I would rather not.”



“So mean” The Alpha huffed.



Nicholas rolled his eyes. “Also what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be with Adrain with that DP sounds team?”



“Yeah, we were just leaving.”




“Okay, then goodbye” The Alpha dryly said.




“Avoid me all you want, but I’ll find out” Adrian challenged before walking out of the room.



Nicholas gulped at that. That’s something to worry about.

Nicholas leaned against the wall; his eyes raking over the omega. She continued to take all the folders out, write on them, and sort them in order. Alyssa was so indulged in her task; she didn't notice him at all. He wanted to see those dove eyes. The Alpha walked and stood behind her, tapping her shoulder.






Alyssa jumped, almost started whipping around quickly, flailing as she did, only to smile as their eyes met. She pulled out her earphones.



“Didn't mean to scare you.” Nicholas sheepishly said, his eyes widened at the scattered folders everywhere on the floor. “You realise I am paying you to organise my mess, right? Not create more.”




The omega rolled her eyes. “First of all, you didn't scare me.”




“Secondly, I'm not making a mess; I'm merely taking creative measures to fix the mess that you made” She added as she crawled forward to pick a folder from the ground.




Nicholas swallowed as he stared at her behind, so round and glorious right in front of him. His dick twitched in his pants. The Alpha loudly cleared his throat.




“Creative measures?”




“Hmm” She distractedly hummed.




“And what makes you think those won’t get you fired?” He raised his brow.




“Because you like me too much to fire me” She replied cheekily.



All Nicholas could do was shrug in response. She was right about that.

By the time noon hits Nicholas completed his zoom meeting with their new upcoming artist. EDM was still unexplored talent in their label, considering the majority of their artists did pop and rock. So this new artist can either break it or make it. Unlike other record labels, they weren’t letting the talent go waste with no proper budget to the artist.




“Alyssa?”



She looked up from her laptop, a tiny furrow in between her brows. From the past few hours, she’s been at it. Taking messages and scheduling his meetings.



“It’s lunchtime.”



“Oh”



That’s all. He frowned. The Alpha was hoping to have lunch with her.



“Come on then. Let’s go.”



Alyssa nervously chuckled. “Uh...You want us to have lunch together?”




“Duh. We can get something in our office cafeteria.”




She chewed her lips for a few seconds before nodding her head. “Sure! Let’s go.”




They head down to the cafeteria and on the way meet Paris. Alyssa invites her which made Nicholas sulk a bit. As if that wasn’t enough, Adrian decided to join them as well.





Alyssa got a small bag of chips and an orange juice cab from the vending machine. Nicholas arched his brow at that. That’s not lunch. Instead of pointing it out loud, he ordered a large pizza for everyone and a coke to go along.




“So where’s Eric?” Paris licked her grease lips.




“Still keeping tabs, are we?” Adrian teased her.




She snorted, rolling her eyes. “Oh, please! I’m over him. I simply asked because you three are always attached to the hip. Doing everything together.”




Nicholas felt his lips twitch at that. That's true. They do spend a lot of time together.



Adrian sighed. “There’s an omega in that DP team so you can imagine where he is.”



He saw Alyssas face slip a little, but she quickly looked away. Why did that affect her? Nicholas thought with a twist in his lips. Did something happen between them?




Paris wrinkled her nose. “Disgusting. When will he stop?”




Nicholas focused back on his pizza.




“Anyways...Alyssa this weekend I'm having a get together at my house, just a few colleagues and you're more than welcome to attend.” Paris smiled, turning towards her.




Alyssa looked at him as if asking for his permission. The Alpha gave a brief head nod.




“If you are sure I won’t be intruding...” Alyssa shyly trailed.




“Please, not at all. Eh, all we do is watch movies, drink our frustrations and stuff our faces.”




“Wow, you made it sound so boring.”





Adrian snickered. “Trust me it would’ve been cool if someone didn’t insist on watching Transformers on a Friday night.”




He actively turned his head towards Nicholas.




“Hey, it's a good movie.” Nicholas huffed.




“It is a good movie.” Alyssa hummed.



Nicholas teasingly clutched his heart. “A woman after my own heart.”



“Adorable.” Paris teased them.



Alyssa blushed taking a bite of her pizza.



Adrian cleared his throat, turning his head towards her. “Alyssa...I can't believe you sat through that destruction movie.”




The omega giggled. “More like forced to. My brother...he loves these kinds of movies and halfway through it I realised it wasn’t bad.”




Nicholas grinned. “See! I knew it! Till date my best decision to hire you.”




Adrian twisted his mouth. “That’s me! I said we should hire her.”



The rest of lunch was spent on arguing and teasing each other. It was the most fun Nicholas had in a while.

Nicholas spent the rest of his time doing various things like he needed to catch up on like taking a multitude of calls. While he busied himself with those tasks, Alyssa finished compiling a few notes into different piles and folders.




Six o clock rolled around quickly, and Nicholas offered to take away for both of them. They have been at work since morning.




“Do you want to get some food on the way back home? I am stopping at this great Burger joint on my way home” Nicholas asked, tucking his phone in his pocket.





Alyssa shook her head. “No, don’t worry about it. I can whip something real quick.”




“You cook?” The Alpha asked.




Her eyes brightened. “I love cooking! I make the best chicken wings in the entire world. And pasta. Oh and also tacos. You know what I make best everything.”




The Alpha couldn’t help but chuckle in response. She’s cute when excited. Other times as well.




“I will make you something one day.”




His stomach clenched. “Counting on it.”



As they started walking towards the door, Alyssa paused and looked over her shoulder.



“Hey Nicholas, thanks for everything.”
