Chapter 2
She clenched her fist in anger and increased the grip on her phone "What the fuck did you just say!" She fired at the person on the phone.
"I'm sorry Miss Tasha, she got the role because Zack Josh picked her, I can't afford to go against him. How would an ordinary Beta like me contend with an Alpha king and Mafia? Not to talk of the fact that he is the person with the most investment in the company. I'm sorry I failed you Miss Fedrick" The voice from the other end said in fright.
Tasha was not just the step daughter of the leader of the Dackhood pack, Mr Fedrick, she was also an Alpha so she had the supreme power of controlling all other wolves below her. Including The head director of the Light spring series.
"I give you 48 hours to make things right. I need to act as the lead in Light spring and you're going to let me do that or your sex tape would be leaked by me and I believe you know what comes after that?" She said with a smirk and hung up.
"What the hell does Zack Josh see in my worthless sister? I'm disgusted" She blurted out angrily to no one in particular.
She picked up her phone and dialled a number and a few seconds later it was answered "Good day Miss Tasha" A female voice sounded from the other end.
"Arrange a meeting with Zack Josh tonight," She said and hung up.
Even if she didn't want to tell herself the truth she knew she was disturbed, Zack is a world crush, a man born on beauty itself. She didn't understand why he chose her sister, did he fancy her? By any chance were they mates? These questions kept ravaging her mind and she put in some effort to make it slide for now.
If Zack was really her sister's mate, then she would do anything to take him away from her.
He looked outside the window as a permanent frown appeared on his face. He didn't understand why his wolf shouted "Mate" When he first saw her, he didn't understand why his heartbeat increased when he saw her performing, it was like she had a secret effect on him.
He tried to brush it aside, but the more he tried that the more her presence affected him. Was this black magic? Or witchcraft? Why does he feel so drawn to her? Every question he asked seemed not to get answers at all.
"Boss!" His assistant called, interrupting his thoughts.
"We are here," His assistant added. He looked at the eatery and sighted the acting crew at the left end of the eatery. They were chatting and laughing, but he didn't seem to find her. Why wasn't she with them?
"How about Miss Guan, wasn't she told about the dinner tonight?" He asked his assistant, oblivious of the surprise look on his face.
As far as he can remember his boss hates women, they irritate him and probably make him faint but here he was asking about a woman who he probably just met for the first time. Could this be a sign of the mate bond? He asked himself with a smile on his face
"I believe you know how much I hate repeating myself. '' His boss said and he immediately drifted back to reality when he saw the cold expression on his face. Maybe he was mistaken about the mate bond, his boss was born cold and would remain cold.
"She was told about the dinner tonight Boss, she might be on her way," He said bowing down in respect.
Why did he care? Since when did he start asking about a woman? Was he going crazy?
He stepped out of his car and arranged his tie elegantly.
"Good day sir" A female voice sounded behind him and he turned around a little bit startled by her voice.
He looked at her and frowned "Why are you just coming now?"
Before she could respond he walked out on her as a smirk appeared in his face "Don't let me get inside before you" He said and surprisingly reduced his pace a little so she could meet up, she ran past him and entered the eatery while he followed from behind indifferently even when his heart jumped in joy.
"Good day, Mr Zack," Everyone said, standing up and bowing.
He ignored their gesture and sat in an empty seat beside the head director. The waitress came almost immediately and gave them a menu stating the food or snack available for order. Every other person picked and the waitress smiled at them professionally
She walked towards Zack and gave him the menu, he looked around it and pointed out what he wanted instead of saying it making everyone wonder why he didn't just say it.
"Thank you once again for gracing our invitation to the dinner tonight," The director said, smiling at him
"I didn't come here to have fun like some of you, I'm here to make you understand that if the light shade is not a success I would seize my investment from KJ ENTERTAINMENT and ruin this company with one call. I would also make sure you all don't get to act in your entire life again" He said calmly, almost like it was more like a speech than a threat. There was silence in the room and everyone clenched unto something as they knew he was not blabbing.
Everyone who knows Zack, knows how ruthless he is, so ruining the career of everyone sitting at the table was a piece of cake for him, it is probably one of his dark hobbies.
"Thank you for considering me worthy of a lead character," Guan said, trying to get rid of the tense aura in the table but she could barely do that as his next reply surprised everyone.
"I didn't count you worthy, you're nothing according to my standards. I didn't choose you, my secretary did, he has a major obsession with upcoming actresses so he wanted to give you a chance, I hope he didn't make a mistake" He said as the waitress finally brought the orders of everyone and served him first.
Everyone was expecting a fancy dish, but she just gave him an Americano. He picked it up and walked out of the eatery to his car before zooming off.
"Such an arrogant asshole! How can he threaten us like we are the servants in his house?" One of the girls said, making everyone smile.
"Don't ever talk in the back of Mr Zack, rumours have it that he has sharp earrings and he can hear even the lowest whisper from a distance. He might eavesdrop on our conversation. Please, let's all do our best in making Light shade a success as the success of our careers lies in this series" The director said and gulped a whole glass of water
Everyone could tell that he was nervous but didn't want to show it but he wasn't good at hiding it either.
Guan sipped from her drink as she looked at everyone confused not because she didn't understand what they said but because of what he said. So, she wasn't good enough for him? He just picked her because someone else did, "How worthless" She said to herself angrily.
But she didn't understand why she wasn't mad at him while he was speaking. It was as if he was complimenting her and her wolf couldn't stop shouting "mate," Was he really her mate? She knew if he was, then she was going to face rejection as he doesn't even like women
Her thoughts were interrupted by the beeping of her phone "You have a job to do tomorrow" The message said in capital letter
"Who was it?" She said out loud trying to think of who could probably send a message like this to her.
