Smart, and Ambitious

"I told Calvin so many times but he didn't believed me", Diana told Kate while having lunch at a small diner.

"So, you're telling me that you were attacked by a vampire and then you were saved by a wolf? And you're wondering why Calvin didn't believed you? ", Kate asked as she drink her soda.

"I know it's totally unbelievable but I know what I saw Kate", Diana looked down and started to fidget with the fork, tapping it on the plate.

"D, I believe you okay? What I'm saying, it's hard to make others believe those kinds of things.", Kate held Diana's hand resting on the table and smiled a little.

"I just don't understand why me. Why is this happening to me? ", Diana placed her other hand over Kate's hand as she furrowed her brows in fear and confusion.

"I know you've been through a lot lately. I'm just glad you're safe, and you weren't harmed. For now, Let's just stay away from dark places and never be alone.", Kate squeezed Diana's hand as she tried to calm and comfort her.

"By the way it looked, it seemed like the vampire was waiting for Calvin on his car", Diana said as she whispered to Kate.

"So you think, he would've attacked Calvin but instead, you came at the wrong place at the wrong time?", Kate wondered as she munched on her fries.

"That's what I've been telling him. He just laughed about it and thought I'm hallucinating", Diana sighed and wet her lips.

"Scary..", Kaye shook her headand deeply sighed from the fear of seeing images of deadly vampires in her mind. "But, why Calvin?", she asked as shhe squinted her eyes thinking deeply.

"I don't want to find out.", Diana rubbed her shoulders as she lifted her up and down.

"Hey… it's my birthday. I know it's a bit too much at the moment but can we forget all of that for a while and maybe we could at least enjoy one day?", Kate pleaded with her puppy eyes.

"I really want you to be at my party tonight. But if you're not feeling it, I understand", she added.

"Well, I won't miss it for the world Kate. I'm sorry if I have to drag you down with my stresses. You deserve to be happy today. I don't want to be unfair to you", Diana didn't really want to go out. But at some point, she might need a diversion of attention and be surrounded by more people to escape the inexplicable and fearsome incidents happening lately.

"Thanks D.. You can drag me anywhere, and anytime. I'll always be with you no matter what.", Kate smiled sweetly at her bestfriend. "I'll pick you up at 9pm then", making sure Diana would surely come.

"Always, Kate. 9pm it is", Diana said as she forced a smile.

Scott spent his weekend at work with tons of paperworks for him to sign and attended meeting after meeting. It's Diana's off at work so he can just stay at work as late as he can, he thought.

"She probably just stayed home", as he signed one more paper for approval, and rejected another. When he was about to stop checking the documents, the next letter of request caught his attention.

"AW Laboratories Corp, requested by Alva Woodsworth", he read as he picked up the letter. It seemed Alva is resquesting for five medical-grade prototypes for a mass drug production.

"Smart, and ambitious", folding the paper as he put it in his drawer. He closed his eyes tightly and snapped his neck rotating his head. He loosened his tie, and opened a few buttons, when heard a knock on the door.

"Boss? You got a phone call from Sir Lucas. He said he's calling you on your phone but you're not answering. He said it's urgent", Jim, Scott's assistant, opened the door a little as he peeked in.

"I got it", Scott groaned for he have ignored Lucas' calls all day. He's been inviting him to drink at his newly opened night club. Scott isn't in the mood to party, he's more interested in seeing Diana more.

"I'm busy", he said straightforwardly said as he answered the call.

"Come on Scott!! It's almost 8pm!! The pack's busy and I have no one to open the club with. Don't abandon meeee", Lucas loudly pleaded.

"You don't need me. I'm sure you'll have some women to spend time with you. Besides, I'm tired", Scott replied as he stood up and stretched his legs.

"How could you do this to me? After all these years, I've been a good friend and brother to you!!", Lucas continued to beg for Scott's attention. "If you're not coming, I'm going to tell Diana that you've been stalking her", he threatened Scott as his last resort.

"What the.. You just try Lucas! FINE! I'll be there.", Scott hissed as he put down the phone.

He took his lighter from the table and headed downstairs to his car. His assistant have already left as well. Scott clicked his tongue as he drove to Lucas' new bar in ultimate irritation.

"I'm gonna kill him", he said as he speed up driving.

Scott arrived at the night club only to see several guests coming in. He was immediately recognized by the security and let him in straight to the VIP lounge on the second floor.

The Trevors has been engaged in several night clubs, bars, hotels and restaurants. As for Lucas, he is in charge of handling bars and night clubs that the family owns. For that matter, he is very sociable and has many connections to boost the popularity of the business.

The newest night club Lucas opened is a classic styled night club accented with a curved stairs, purple velvet walls, starry lights on the ceiling, black marbly floors, and black with gold leather seats. There are three VIP rooms on the second floor that's divided by wall cladded room divisions. Tonight is special having it known the night club just opened.

"Welcome brother! I'm glad you made it! I knew you'd never say no to me", Lucas said as he held two ladies in his arms winking at Scott.

"Fuck off. I need a drink", Scott was so pissed that he just sat in one of the VIP lounges.

"Sorry Alpha. This lounge is reserved for Ms. Kate Collins. You will occupy the other VIP lounge with Boss Lucas", the waiter said.

Scott didn't replied and just transferred to the other side. Before he could get into the lounge, Lucas already placed his arm on Scott's shoulder.

"Come here check out the interiors. What do you think?", Lucas led Scott to the balustrade seeing the entirety of the bar's interior.

Scott squinted in irritation but when he looked down at the entrance door, his mood suddenly changed seeing the woman in red.
