Chapter 18 - "Don't Pester Eva!"

Eva was glaring at Zeus with her fiery eyes. She seemed extremely agitated with all the chaos happening around her since the morning.

"Hello, new intern, don't you recognize me? Ahh, and why the atmosphere is so dense here? What's wrong?" Czar turned his face at Mr. Pablo while inquiring him.​​

"Well, sir has splattered some red vinegar sauce on his shoes and all of us thought it as blood smear. We were a bit anxious." He answered.

Czar promptly glanced at his shoes and raised up his chin towards Zeus with a cunning smirk. Zeus tried his best to avoid his impish gaze and tried to act sterner.

"Are you sure, it's red vinegar sauce, big brother?" He mumbled with a spooky grin.

All the people present in the room flinched with Czar's sudden inquiry and stared at Zeus. The atmosphere was getting more intense than ever.

Eva was deadpanned in surprise. "Big brother? They are brothers?" She rolled her eyes wider while wondering.

Zeus understood his evil intentions and tried to dodge his question bluntly."Where the hell you have been till now? Why are you late?"

He quickly understood Zeus's smart move and sneered a bit. "I was cleaning up the mess that you had left behind. Sorry, it took a while." He conveyed. Silently, he peeked a glance at Eva who was still gawking at them. "But I am quite pleased to meet our beautiful new interns." He complimented them with a wink.

"Oh my gosh, he is so sweet." The other two interns squeaked among themselves being attracted by him.

Eva seemed disgusted with their actions and lowered her face. "The environment is already pissing me off." She thought.

"But I am quite glad to meet you again, Miss Eva Ricci." Swiftly, Czar blurted out.

Immediatekly Zeus turned his face towards him with a dark expression. Eva raised up her eyes and tried to respond him with a bitter smile.

"Woah, Miss Eva you already know him? That's great. He is the executive director of our company and also our CEO's younger brother." Mr. Pablo tried to introduce Czar formally in front of everyone.

"What a pain in the ass! First that pervert and now this creep. This office is absolutely weird." She cussed them in her mind with a sigh.

"Alright, everyone should head back to their works now. Czar, you come with me." Zeus declared in a firm voice and headed straight outside. Mr. Pablo and Czar followed him obediently. While leaving the room, Czar turned his face towards Eva and sneered again with a dense expression.

...

"Did you try to expose me before everyone?"

Zeus took Czar to their hallway balcony and interrogated him fiercely. His tone sounded quite agitated.

"Of course not, brother. I was just trying to tease you a little bit." Czar firmly answered.

Zeus ogled at him for a while and turned his face towards the outside. With a blank gaze in his eyes, he was staring at the clear blue sky. "Czar, if you want to harm me you are always welcome to do so. But if you dare to threaten my whole pack's existence, you know you can die, right?" He groaned.

Czar chuckled with his response and glared at him before speaking, "you just killed your own pack member a few moments ago. Don't f*cking try to pretend as if you care for us! You know it well if dad knows about what you did today, you can be severely punished."

"I don't care about anything anymore. But I can't allow my own members to attack innocent humans and invite risks in our peaceful existence. It took us a long time to blend among the humans, we can't lose it all." He sounded quite agitated.

Czar looked at him for a moment and turned his face away. "Do what the f*ck you want to do. I don't give a damn. Just don't be meddlesome in my personal matters." He started heading back towards his cabinet with gallant steps.

"And you better not try anything funny with Eva." A sudden cold threat came from Zeus as he turned his gaze towards him while he was departing. "Don't pester her or any of our interns furthermore." He warned him.

"Pffft!" Czar smirked impishly. "It's funny, how an ignorant human is taming a cold true alpha's heart!" He taunted him.

"Shut the f*ck up." Zeus immediately reciprocated his taunt with a fiery response.

...

As Czar left the premises, Zeus stood silently alone while gawking at the sky. His mind was still puzzled by the way he acted today.

"Did I commit a sin by killing my own member? I don't know why I was so furious with him without giving a second thought... I murdered him... And everything happened due to that strange troublesome woman... Why the hell I always get involved with her?" His mind was indulged with countless questions.

..

"Si-Sir?"

Suddenly Zeus flinched with a familiar voice and turned back. Eva was standing behind him with a fretful gaze.

She slowly stepped near him and gazed cryptically. "Can we talk?" She inquired.
