TYLER'S POV.
I clearly told the manager that I wanted to be left alone for a few minutes before the meeting began and I didn't want any girls tonight but they clearly didn't take me seriously as I heard the door bell ring for the second time. I pulled myself off the couch and headed for the door, the moment I pulled it open, I breathed in sharply. Standing in front of me was a woman with jet black hair wrapped up tightly into a bun. Her eyes had depths to it, it pulled at me.
"Mate!". My wolf called out immediately.
"What!", I replied back in shock within me. She stood in front of me with a bottle of wine, looking up into my face without a single clue of the struggle that had erupted within me between me and my wolf.
"Sir, I brought your drink". Her voice...it sounded like the calm sound of the waves when the moon pulled the tides at night.
"Yes...of course. Set it on the table". I stammered lightly, stepping aside for her to step inside the room.
I watched her, the way her hips swayed when she walked, the way her eyes darted across the room as if she was searching for something and finally when our eyes locked, it sent a shiver down my spine. My eyes landed on her lips, I wanted to make a move, my wolf wanted to make a move but I didn't want to scare her off.
She looked so Innocent, she definitely wasn't one of those girls, he thought and decided otherwise on making a move on her.
"What's your name?". I asked, taking my seat on the couch while she poured me a glass of wine. She seemed startled by my question.
"Ruby", she said so bluntly. I smiled trying to calm her nerves and prove that she didn't have to be afraid of me. After she finished filling my glass, she dropped the bottle besides it and was about to leave when I grabbed her arm, rage flashed across her face.
"Not you too", she whined. "You can't be like him", she groaned. "Why do both men I happen to find attractive today turn out to be annoying assholes". She glared at me but I wasn't intimidated, I refused to let go, finding her amusing.
"You find me attractive?". I grinned but she only kept glaring. "Who's the first man you found attractive?". She pulled at her arm again and I let go.
"I'm having a bad night as it is already, please don't add to it".
"Tell me more", I reclined on my seat, amused that she let out her emotions at a VIP that way. "You know, I thought you all were trained to remain composed regardless of anything but you....". She snapped out of her emotional circle immediately and pinned me with a look that my junior sister gave me frequently when she needed something, those puppy eyes were irresistible, just like my sister's.
"You won't tender a complaint to the management would you", she bit down at her lower lip, unaware of it's effect on me. My wolf growled at the image of her biting down on her lip, if she didn't stop that on time I might not be able to keep my wolf at bay.
"Should I?". I asked cocking my head to one side and crossing my legs.
"Please don't!", She pleaded, rubbing her palms together. I smiled, I got her just where she needed to be.
"Okay I won't but on one condition".
"I won't sleep with you", she replied sternly. I laughed out loud.
"No, that's not what I want", I reached out to grab the glass she had filled earlier and thrusted it forward at her, "Have a drink with me".
"What?".
"Just three glasses and you can go".
"Really, that's all".
"Yes", she quickly grabbed the glass and took the seat opposite mine. I picked another glass placed on the table face down and filled it with wine.
"So you're new here right?".
"Is it that obvious?".
"Not really, haven't seen your face before around here".
"What's your name?".
"Tyler". I watched her twirl the wine in it's glass.
"This is a part time job right?".
"No, it's my only job. They pay really well". I nodded my head, they would obviously pay well, working here alone was a risk and they knew that well enough to keep their staff tied down with a good and fat pay check.
"So tell me Ruby, who was the other man you found attractive?". I brought my glass to my lips, hiding the fact that I was watching her expression so intensely.
"He is an asshole, I don't want to talk about him". The wine was already loosening her up.
"Alright then what would you rather talk abou".
"You", she smiled. "What are you?". Her question seemed innocent and ignorant but sounded like she knew something about me. I smiled and nudged the conversation in an opposite direction.
We spoke for what seemed like hours on nothing in particular, just random question and answers, turns out she is engaged and had a lot of personalities under her single body. Talking to her was fun until she started gulping down more wine than she could handle.
"You're so funny", She laughed alone, rising to her feet and crashing back on the couch. "I have to get back to work", she said rising again.
"Seems like you had too much, are you sure you can go back to work?".
"Of course", she giggled, rising successfully and staggering.
She almost tumbled back and I quickly held her up upright leading her to the door.
My wolf remained silent, she was too drunk to awaken our sexual instincts. We both loved our women wide awake and aware of their surroundings.
We stepped out just in time to find Lucian, my arch enemy standing outside with the manager and one other women I didn't quite recognize, they were deeply engrossed in a conversation but went mute the moment they saw us.
Her eyes widen when she saw them.
"You again, pervert", she frowned before I could steady her wobbling body she had matched across to them and landed a bold slap on his face.
Everyone gasped.
