Worried boss (1)

Vera's phone vibrated in her pocket, and she saw an unknown number. Who was calling her? And at a time like that?

She was trying to see the Alpha's face, maybe meet his eyes and make a contact.

She snorted while answering. It was not an Italian number. Maybe from Switzerland? Austria? She wasn't sure.

«Yes?» she said, trying to hide her annoyance. The Alpha was walking out, not paying much attention to her. If she lost him, she might need to wait another day and hope to meet him at the bakery.

But she also wanted to try the other bakery!

«Where are you?» she heard on the phone.

Much to her surprise, the Alpha halted. He wasn't the only one reacting oddly, because she had winced on the chair when she had heard Neven's voice. He was a little worried, but he was trying to hide it behind a mask of annoyance. But he wasn't angry because she wasn't feeling any pain.
