chapter five

The papers came and went as his eyes ran out of eyes in each of them, his glasses had been left somewhere in the mess that he disliked so much in his office, so he had to opt for the drops to relax his eyesight. Even though the computer screen was projecting more documents, it didn't do much good.

Dominant alphas are beings with outstanding abilities among the alphas themselves, their aptitudes are more advantageous than those of the average since they have a superior intellect for being born with the alpha gene, so it is not surprising that the workload is still older for this. Yet even with all that, the human body got tired after not sleeping for days, and the hours Andrew Coleman had been awake between work exceeded one hundred and forty-four.

The cold afternoon was reflected in the window behind him, as New York City began to light up as night fell. I sigh when the end of the play became clear. Andrew did not do that much work it was crazy the amount of work he advanced, postponed, and finished throughout the last two months so that everything worked well in the company for almost a year without him, that was his goal, mind you, even though you took your vacation for the first time in years, it didn't stop the reports from reaching your inbox every week, but at least, with all this, you wouldn't have to be with the company for long.

He closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, as he turned a little towards the glass behind him, where the buildings were his first sight, the sun had been gone a while ago and all that was left were the lights of the buildings and the one of the same moons on high. He blinked thoughtfully, letting his mind start working on another non-work-related matter for the first time in months:

"Estefan Miller", that was the name of the omega for whom he was making all kinds of preparations, his days off would not be that at all, they would become months when he would be with the man in the pheromone healing process, and it is not that the idea pleases him at all ...

— Sir Coleman? — His thoughts were interrupted by his secretary, the poor girl seemed to be working a lot more than she should too. —"She has a call from her sister, Ms. Katya." —There seems to be a problem with the outside network, that's why I came here. I already notified maintenance, and they said it wouldn't take long for everything to be fixed. He frowned, turning immediately, nodding slightly at everything said by the secretary.

—"Is that so? — She nodded. — Okay, thanks Rita"

—With your permission.

—Rita

—Yes sir.

—"Go home." — She seemed incredibly surprised by that, but she carefully shook her head after a while. Rita was a very intelligent, responsible, and diligent young omega, in the last two years she had been the person with whom Andrew had felt most comfortable, she did not ask unnecessary questions and was not one of those noisy people, on top of that, she worked too much lately. — Go away, there's not much to do now, I'll see you here tomorrow anyway.

—"Are you sure sir?" — The alpha nodded, so the much more confident girl nodded and left with a brief goodbye.

When the door to his office closed, Andrew started looking for his cell phone in some corner, but it seemed that the device had been the same luck as his glasses, so he had no choice but to start a video conference with his sister. from the computer. Katya did not take long to attend to this medium.

—" Andrew, I've been calling you for two hours." — Well, she didn't look very happy.

—"Yes, I am a fine, dear sister." —He was sarcastic, although his face always expressed the same cold expression. —"I can't find my phone, nor my glasses,"— he said in the middle of a sigh, watching as her sister left her phone still somewhere and turned off the camera.

—"Sorry, I've had a hard day,"— she confessed.

—"Trouble at the boutique?"

—"Also ... more importantly, Andrew." I met with Estefan in the afternoon.

—"So you already did it… then?"

The sudden reunion wasn't a secret, it was something they had been talking about for a long time, so Andrew just waited for this to happen so he could start mobilizing as well.

—"He does not want". It was simple, direct.

—No? — Andrew was really surprised, and I mean, who wouldn't want a cure for a disease that could kill you to get to your door?

—"He doesn't accept it ... even he almost fainted when he saw that you and Elio have the same face." I didn't think our little Elio would ever mention you. — She seemed disappointed, but Andrew not so much.

It was a reality that he and Elio had grown apart ... however, by an omega his brother had jumped overboard away from his family, that was something he would never understand about his deceased twin.

Andrew sighed-Well, find a way to make him accept, or I don't know, we can't always help him since he insists so much that he does not do it.

—Andrew… we already talked about that — Katya was severe with what she said, so the aforementioned simply rolled his eyes, what's the use of begging someone who doesn't want to be saved? There are many people who want to live as someone who has the opportunity to waste it in this way. —"Try ... to understand" — That seemed wrong to his sister.

—"It's not like he really wants to be a part of this," —he murmured, but he was sure Katya heard him, yet he didn't say anything, didn't reprimand him, and took a couple of seconds to speak again.

—"I told him I would contact him." — Andrew closed his eyes, stopping his search through papers. — Before you say anything else, remember who you are doing it for. I have to go, we'll talk later, in the documents you have about him is his phone number, contact him when you can.

And she, in short, a classic Katya, barking and hanging as soon as she did. Andrew didn't even fight, and the last thing she said didn't really affect him, he was fully aware of why he reluctantly agreed and no one should remind him of the obvious.

His cell phone appeared with a discharged battery on one of his office chairs, so he just took it and started preparing his things to go home for today, he still had a lot to do, but he would finish them in his department. After taking a cold shower to reduce the stress and discomfort caused by the call from his sister.

He would call that omega, of course, he would, but in the morning.
