Rise of The Queen (Complete)

Chapter 21

After his confession, she was in a daze, he said he liked her, no he loved her but hadn't they met just a few days back? Regardless, her head was in mess, she was brought out of her thoughts when he opened the door for her, she blinked at him, "Let's go," He told her, she looked around they had stopped by a huge building, Terrel group of industries.

"Something came up, it'll just take few minutes," he said as they entered the lift, he then pressed the button to the top floor. Everyone greeted them as they exited the lift, people surrounded them, they addressed him as their boss, addressing to them he then called out to a lady and asked her to take her inside, he then excused himself to attend to his work, she was escorted to his cabin, "Would you have something? Tea? Coffee?" She asked, "No, it's fine, you can continue your work," Alexa smiled at the girl who then excused herself and walked out of the room.

Being left alone, Alexa wandered around the room, she looked at the nameplate on his desk 'Reagan Terrel, CEO'.

Just then Regan entered the room, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"So apart from being the Alpha King, you're also the CEO of one of the most powerful companies, huh?" She raised her brows at him.

"Need to have an influence in the human world," He shrugged.

"Are the staff werewolves too?" She asked.

"Few are humans too," He replied.

"Oh", she mouthed.

"Wait a minute," her eyes widened in realization.

"Yes," He nodded.

"Did you read my thoughts again?" She narrowed her eyes at him.

"No, but I did read your face," He chuckled, "It's all over your face, you know," He shrugged.

"So, if we didn't get attacked that night, I'd have worked here, huh?" She tried to register the newly found information.

"Regardless, we'd have met one way or the other," He smiled at her, "Just to make it clear," He stepped forward closing the distance between them, "my feelings for you are not all of a sudden, Alexa," He cupped her cheeks. Her heart quickened, she averted her gaze and quickly turned her back to him, they were surrounded by the air of awkwardness.

"But we've just met, we don't know much about each other, what do you like about me anyway?" She questioned him nervously making a circle in her palm.

"We've met before, I've known you long enough," He stated, she turned to face him, she looked at him with questioning eyes, given the fact that she met Lia in middle school and he was her brother so he did know her long enough but had they met before? She didn't remember.

"And what do I like about you?" He pondered on the question, "I don't know," He shrugged, "There's nothing not to like and I never had to search for a reason, do I need a reason?" He asked.

She felt her cheeks burn under his hot gaze.

"Say if I gave you reasons like you're beautiful, cute, kind or something, something, but wouldn't that all just be meaningless? All these reasons, they are useless because although someone else may also have all these qualities I mentioned, I won't like them the same, I can't explain why I like you, I just love you, I love being with you, you outdo all the reasons but if you still want me I can come up with many many reasons," He said chuckling.

She was speechless, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, she got all awkward, but he reassured her, "It's okay take your time, we can go slower, my feelings are mine alone, I won't force it on you," He smiled at her.
