Barking but not biting

Olivia sitting in her chair and looked again at the webpage what is write about wolves.

Wolves are intensely ambitious and never shy from hard work. Socially adept, they function well in leadership and management roles as well as jobs requiring vision and strength of character. Being a natural motivator, their instinctive understanding of group dynamics serves them well in goal-oriented tasks…

If we want to translate this into human language, it roughly means modern predators, the descriptions of the leaders. Like example, the CEO of the Crossfield Corporation, Mr. Theodore William Cross.

…Like most humans, wolves form monogamous breeding pairs and remain together for the duration of their adult life. As a team, the pair will maintain a territory, search for prey, and, above all, remain loyal to one another and their family unit…

Whether we look at the animal kingdom or not, at some point all males must be tamed. This is the job of the females, since without them the males would remain wild animals, squabbling over a piece of meat. It all ends with family formation and begins with mating.

I'm not the only one who says this, everyone who has seen this process thinks so. In human language one form of mating is love. When true love finds a man, he turns into a super cute little dog that always barks but doesn't bite.

'But there is a big problem with this, according to my knowledge he has never had a girlfriend, or any relationship with women. That is why there is a lot of gay rumours about him.'

'Consequently, first of all, his harsh nature must be softened. Which can be achieved by taming him, so later he can get married and become a cute little doggywolf. His wife will keep him in check, there will be no more overtime, it's good for him, good for his wife and good for me.'

Olivia took notes enthusiastically to how to tame wolves successfully and tried to summarize the essence.

1. Physical connection helps to improve emotional bond

2. Praise often, use positive confirmation

3. Give quality food to your wolf with a pinch of love

4. Make sure to exercise enough, it helps to reduce daily stress

5. Train your wolf with using one-word commands, practise and repeat

6. Make opportunities to the wolf to be friends with others, they are sociable creatures

7. Take the wolf to vet when its necessary

8. Make harmonious environment to the wolf to ensure his safety

9. Be patience

10. Love your wolf

11. Never give up!

Mission goal: To tame William.

William had a formal business lunch with Mr. Baron Georg, during the lunch they discussed technological developments and possible investments. Work-related lunches are normal in the business world, even William can't completely avoid them.

Of course, he rarely eats with anyone unless it's a business meeting. Normally, he likes to keep his private life away from everyone for safety reason.

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

'Time is up, thank heavens!'

After they said goodbye, one of the waitresses re-set the table for the next lunch.

What's wrong with his expression? William's opinion, that an unwanted blind date is more like he voluntarily going on vacation to hell.

And the other problem with this whole?

He is a cold and measured person, whose every choice is logical and can be justified rationally. He doesn't spend time on emotions if there is no practical benefit to him. But now William was not in an easy situation; he could not explain his own stupidity.

What was he thinking when he ordered Olivia to come to the blind date that his grandmother arranged for him. And if that's not enough, why does it make him feel so bad.

Olivia arrived at the restaurant barely 10 minutes earlier than the meeting time, she already has a lot of work and even this, her boss's thinking is often too unpredictable to be able to follow what why he does or says.

A kind waitress escorted her to the private room where William was waiting for her. He had just made a call on his phone, so he didn't even notice her arrival.

Olivia waited quietly for him to finish.

She stared at William the way his lips moved as he spoke. He frowned, straightened his hair after drummed his fingers on the table. Habits that she already knew well, she had seen them repeated many times. But today maybe it was because of the lamp, but he looked really cute, she remembered her little sister, Caroline makes the same face when doesn't like something.

Minutes later, William was shocked to see Olivia already standing at the door quietly, gestured for her to take a seat at the table.

However, there was a small problem what she just now realizes.

The private space was completely separated from the public spaces, so this kind of small booth were a regular place for private conversations.

The table is quite small and obviously they did not expect uninvited guests. She didn't know where to move as there were two smaller couches on either side of the table.

There are only two options where to sit; sit across from William, but this seat is definitely for her future partner's place, and she don't want to sit next to her or sit directly next to William.

'Oh, my Goodness! What did I do wrong in my previous life?'

She hesitantly chooses the number two option and sat next to William. The leather couch was little narrow, so she was sitting at the edge of the couch. She tried to avoid the intimate closeness feeling with him, so she just stared at the table in silence.

Minutes went by when William hung up the phone and his secretary didn't start talking like she usually do, her behaviour left him questioning.

'What's wrong with her?'

Her face is red, and she bits her lips nervously. She was embarrassed and visibly uncomfortable. Olivia looked like she'd rather bury herself in a hole than to be here with him. Let's say this part may be understandable, because he doesn't like that she is in here with him too at his date. But he was still inexplicably disturbed by Olivia's behaviour, she is sitting far away from him like he was spreading the plague himself.

Unlike William, Olivia thought nothing of it. She was in a completely different place. She tried to understand and process what the first rule meant, and then how she would put it into practice.

1. Physical connection helps to improve emotional bond.

Her heart is already too weak for good looking man. She needs to touch him. Even at the thought of touching him gives her a heart attack, panicking like a teenager who hasn't gone through puberty. And where she should need to touch him, or how deep and long would be?

While Olivia struggled with her thoughts, William was on the verge of exploding. She was jolted out of her own world by the pleasantly deep male voice, which now seemed exceptionally more cynical than average.

"Miss Cake, I didn't know that you are picky about tables, if I had known before, I would have definitely chosen another table that is nicer than this one, it seems to suit your taste, because you want to make a hole in the table with just your eyes."

Olivia looked up and turn to William with a look saying, did you say something?

She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if nothing could shake her out of this state. She is a tree on the middle of the storm. Then something clicked. She laughed herself happily when found a weak point what she needed.

Truthfully in the eyes of William, she really looked like a frightened little white rabbit earlier, with her rose pink cheeks with a teary expression in her big-round eyes which shined in dark sky-blue and how she bit her lips unconsciously.

With her happy face now, she is extending the tip of her tongue over her beautiful cherry lips and moistening them, creating a pleasantly bizarre but a feeling of satisfaction. Like when you get your long-awaited gift as a child, in a beautiful package with a little bow on top.

You're already happy when you see it, you take the packaging apart in a minute to see what's inside, driven by your own curiosity and desires.

And those kissable lips are getting closer to him. William's eyes immediately narrowed; amazed at the intimate distance.

Olivia naturally moved closer to William's body and with a well-rehearsed movement, she straightened the black tie that had slipped to one side. When he released her, she gently ran her fingers over his chest, but only for a fleeting moment so that it wouldn't be obvious that it was intentional.

William was embarrassed and he turned his head at the side. She raised her eyes to look in William's deep forest-green eyes, which were shrouded in darkness and misty.

When she pulled her hand back, he grabbed it and pressed it to his chest. Beneath her two small palms under the shirt, a muscular body tensed. She could smell William's cologne, a scent of fresh sandalwood that was warm and alluring at the same time.

She gulped nervously.

"Hehe, the first step is the tick. Clever little vixen!"

The black creature was right, but she hadn't quite expected it. Crying itself eluded her. She tried to get his attention and put him under pressure, but now Olivia thinks that it wasn't William who fell into her trap, but herself fall into his charm. More precisely, into a sweet dream.

"That damn cologne."
