Chapter 43

He then walked over to the door behind David's dask, winked at me, and then went inside. I sighed as I wiped my hand off on my pants.

"Sick old man," I mumbled. I turned around when Elijah's hand grabbed my arm. He looked as though he was going to follow Mr. Parker and rip him to shreds.

"How do you know Mr. Parker?" he demanded and I looked to him with annoyance.

"You know how I know him. What I don't understand is how you can act like that." I heard David and Aurora catch their breath. I crossed my arms on my chest, "you can't act like that just because someone from my past comes into the present. You know I only dealt with the elite. This is bound to happen often and I warned you of that before you insisted on hiring me." I pushed his hand off of me, "is there something you need?"

Elijah face turn to annoyance. "I just happened to be walking by."

"All right," I said as I turned towards Aurora, "then I should get back to work."

Elijah sighed, "all right, come get me if anything else happens."

He walked back into his office and shut the door and I heard Aurora let out a large breath.

"I thought my heart was going to stop," Aurora whispered as I looked at her with my confident Alpha smile.

"Don't worry yourself. I certainly know how to handle business."

I heard whispering going on and turned to see multiple people in cubicles immediately avert my gaze. This is why I don't work with people.

"Aurora, is there anything you can teach me that won't be right here?" She looked to me with confusion. "When Mr. Parker comes out, and if he sees me, things will get a lot worse." I smirked, "that was actually him restraining himself. You don't wanna see what he does when he gets excited."

Aurora blush slightly as she nodded and gestured for me to follow her. She grabbed a pile of papers and we began down the long hallway. I moved closer to her, which seemed to make her slightly uncomfortable.

"You don't need to be afraid of me," I whispered, "I won't do anything to bother you. I'm just trying to make ends meet and that's all I plan to do." She was silent and I sighed, "may I say something, omega to omega?"

She nodded but only look to me through the corner of her eye as she continued down the walkway.

"Your strap suits you very well." She finally turned to me and slowed down her walking pace.

"Thank you," she whispered with a slight smile, "I am relieved to finally work with another Omega. There aren't many of us and the company."

She was silent for a moment and then finally seemed to gain enough courage to speak.

"You have a mate?" I nodded and she seemed to hold her breath before forcing out her words. "Is it Mr. Reed?"

I covered my mouth with my hand to fight back a loud laugh. "Definitely not," I replied with a smile. "He is just an acquaintance. More of someone who is intrested in pitying me."

:If I may ask," she said as she took a large gulp to suppress her nerves, "is the rumor true? That you live with Mr. Reed?"

"Somewhat," I said with a sigh, "he's allowing me and my family to stay in his guest house for the time being."

"So your mates lives there?"

"My mate and I have not been in contact in a long time. The family I am referring to is my children." I immediately pulled out my phone as I saw her face turn to complete shock.

I presented a picture of Chase and the twins and she immediately grabbed the phone as her face turned gentle and almost love sick.

"They are beautiful," she whispered as she stared at the photo. "But are you old enough to have a teenager? You do not look like it in the slightest."

I smiled, "he's not mine. But he is part of our family. He is a fellow Omega that was abandoned by his family just like I was. He is an incredibly bright child and I insisted that he can use our home as a safe haven whenever he wants so that he can focus on his future. At first, he only came a few times a month. But now he is there every day."

"Are the younger ones twins? They look so much alike."

I nodded, "Archer and Ashley are 5 and they are the best thing that ever happened to me."

She looked at me with astonishment. "So you have raised 2 children and supported another by yourself?" I nodded and took the phone as she handed it back to me.

I put it in my pocket as we arrived at a room and we went inside. Aurora lead me through filing the document she had taken from her desk.

"May I ask something personal?"

I smile towards her, "ask a way."

"Are you sure that Mr. Reed sees you as just a friend and employee?"

I paused and turned towards her, "what do you mean?"

She began filing as she kept her gaze from me and seemed nervous. "I have never seen Mr. Reed even talk on the phone pleasantly to someone. He is always stern and cold. He never talks to anyone unless he has to. He is a magnificent president and does his job well but is not social at all. You are the first person I've ever seen that could make him smile. At least not a forced smile like he does for work. And the way he reacted with Mr. Parker was surprising. He was not even there and somehow knew to come rescue you. It seems he may view you as more than you think."

I sighed, "I should not say too much as it is personal business. But he told me that I remind him of someone very important to him and that is why he goes out of his way to help me."

"So what relationship do you have with Mr. Parker? I thought Mr.Reed was going to hit him and I have never seen Mr. Parker acts so unprofessional."

I sighed, "again, I can't tell you much due to the nature of our relationship, but he's a former customer of mine."

She seemed to pause and then suddenly her entire face turned red and I knew she had figured out what I met. We both silently continued our work as she aided me through the process of sorting things. Aurora brought me through all the steps of her day and we even had to order in as we continued working through lunch. As 5 o'clock came close I finally stretched my arms over my head as I leaned back in my chair next to Aurora. We are both surprised as Elijah suddenly came out of his office right as the clock hit 5.

He gave me a sweet smile before nodding towards Aurora. "Thank you so much for assisting Will today. It is a very great help."

He picked up my bag off of my desk a few feet away and brought it over as I stood and took it from him before sticking on my coat. "We should get you home. The twins are probably waiting anxiously for you."

I nodded before turning to Aurora and smiling. "Thanks again, I'll see you tomorrow."

She blushed slightly while nodding as our eyes kept glancing to Elijah. As we left the building, many eyes followed us and I could feel their judgments. After what Aurora had told me, it must seem unfamiliar for their boss to be so closely following and putting his arm around the shoulders of an employee. We went out to the car I quietly leaned against the window.

"I was wondering if you could do something for me, as my secretary."

"Well if it's part of the job I guess I have to," I said with a smirk as he chuckled slightly.

"There is an events going on Wednesday night. I have always brought my secretary with me as my date and was hoping you would be all right with doing so. It is expected that we bring someone to it and it should not be for too long. Would that be all right with you?"

I sighed, "I guess it's fine. It's been a while since I've been to a party."
