I wasn’t sure why he’d taken such an interest in me, but I’d already been told that he had many bed partners that could help him with that itch he wanted scratched.
Link:
Just take a chance on me, and I bet you’ll forgive me for whatever I did as you fall for me.
Link:
You’ve ignored me for nearly a week, but I see you reading my messages. You like me a little bit at least. Let’s have that “little bit” grow into something bigger.
Link:
Did I tell you how hot you looked standing guard that night? H.O.T!!!!
This man was going to drive me insane. I needed to shut this down, since I would not be seeing him outside of any business-related deals. I worked for Wolf. I did not mix business with pleasure.
Besides, Link would grow bored eventually and go back to one of his conquests.
Ryo:
Please cease the messages. They are unwanted. I refuse all invites. Please find another to annoy.
There, that was clear to understand. Surely, he would do as I asked.
Link:
BABY! Hello, my snookums. I miss your stern face, and I only got to see it the once. I need more manhandling, please.
He was an idiot.
I knew he was speaking of when I thought there was danger coming toward the private room we’d been in at the restaurant, but it had only been Ruin showing up at the meeting. I’d pulled both Link and Wolf behind me.
In other words, I’d been doing my job.
Link:
What are you doing right now?
Ryo:
Ignoring you again. Goodbye.
I stood from the table and took my bowl to the sink. My phone vibrated. I cursed under my breath and gripped the counter.
“How was lunch?” Wolf asked as he and his lover, Ruin, entered.
“Pleasant enough.” I faced them and nodded to the guard that I would take over. He disappeared elsewhere. “Tell me once more. Did you or did you not give Link my phone number?”
That stupid device vibrated again, and we all stared at it.
Wolf smirked. “I did not.”
A couple of kitchenhands fluttered into the kitchen and got busy making them lunch as they sat at the table.
“You know, I could really get used to being spoilt,” Ruin commented as he watched them.
I deadpanned, “Nice to know.” Usually, I liked Ruin. He had made my friend happy and was able to show my boss that work wasn’t everything in life. However, I’d already been riled, and I wanted answers.
“If not you, then who?” I asked.
