I was in my bedroom, trying to paint my nails without getting any on my skin. I was really focused on the task, so much so that I didn't even realize that I had puckered my lips in frustration. Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. With a sigh, I put the lid back on the bottle of nail polish and gently tossed it onto my bed before opening the door.
There was the maid, bowing before me. "Alpha has summoned you to the office room," she said.
I frowned, wondering what could be so important that the Alpha wanted to see me in his office. But I knew better than to ask questions, so I simply nodded and followed the maid.
As we walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness bubbling up inside of me. I had no idea what to expect when I got to the office, but I knew that it was never a good sign when the Alpha summoned someone.
Did he got to know something about me.
I came out of my thoughts when the guards opened the door for me, I entered in Samuel's office, and I took a deep breath of the jasmine scent that filled the room. It was a soothing aroma that helped to calm my nerves as I stepped inside. The guards closed the door behind me, and I saw Spade and Samuel sitting on the sofa, surrounded by piles of files and papers on the table in front of them. They both looked up as I approached, and I could see the seriousness in their eyes.
" Sit here babe! " He said with a wide grin on his face while patting to his left side of the empty space, I gave him a look as I walked there and peeped into the papers as I had my seat beside him.
" So, why did you call me? " I asked as they gave me the attention.
" So, you know, we need a small help from you! " Spade said while stopping in between.
" And what is that? " I asked them.
" You have to fight with someone! " Samuel said bluntly while I looked at him to confirm whether it is true or not.
" You mean it! " I asked him while I didn't saw any expressions on his face, he just looked in my eyes.
" I mean it! " Samuel said blankly.
" But Zane, how can she fight with a random stranger--- " Spade was talking but stopped when Zane interrupted.
" Don't worry about that Spade, she is good at fighting without any reason, and she did master's in it so brush it off! " He said while waving his hand in the air while I death glared at him while greeting my teeth.
" See, see, we didn't even say a word to her and look at her face, it became so red with anger! " Zane tsked as he gave me a look while Spade ignored Zane.
" Come on, Amaris. Don't be so uptight. It's just a bit of harmless fun. " Spade said trying to convince him.
" Fun for you, maybe. But I don't see the point in fighting for no reason. What's the point? " I said while shrugging.
" The point is to prove who's the better fighter. It's a matter of pride. " Zane interrupted.
" Pride? That's a silly thing to fight over. And besides, I don't need to prove anything to you or anyone else. I know my own strength. " I said as I flipped my hair.
"Oh, please. You're just afraid of losing. Admit it." Zane said provoking me.
" I'm not afraid of losing. I just don't see the point in fighting for no reason. But if you insist on proving who is the better fighter, I'm happy to oblige. Let's find a stranger who is willing to fight and see who comes out on top. " I said with determination in my eyes.
" Ha! I knew you couldn't resist the challenge. Alright, let's do it. But if you lose, don't blame me for rubbing it in your face. " He said with a teasing face.
" I have no problem with a little friendly competition! " I said with full confidence.
" Yeah, yeah. Let's just get on with it. I can't wait to see you get knocked down a peg or two. " He said with a chuckle.
" We'll see who gets knocked down first. " I said.
" We'll see. I have a feeling you're going to regret agreeing to this. " He said while making faces.
