Mistaking an Alpha for a Pimp novel Chapter 9

AMELIA'S POV 

My heart clenched in jealousy when I saw a female worker working toward Gary with a cake in her hand. It looked like they were closed, and I thought Gary must have admired her.

  I had no idea why I felt jealous, I was very sure I did not have any atoms of feelings for this guy. Even though I admitted within myself that he is indeed a handsome young man.

I was shocked when he ignored the lady after smashing the cake, and he walked away as if she did not exist.

I watched as she still insisted on presenting the cake to him, even though he was clearly not interested. I got annoyed seeing how persistent she was.

But I was surprised to see what happened next, Gary pushed the cake away from her hand, and it scattered over the floor. I did not expect anything less from a man who was popular for being ruthless.

 She stood there in embarrassment as Gary walked away from her and started walking toward me and Gloria.

I gasped in shock as I watched him walk towards us, his eyes focused more on me than on his sister.

Even though I did not like the idea of her trying to force herself on him and was happy that he had rejected her cake, I still felt that pushing it away in such a manner and embarrassing her in front of the whole staff was too extreme.

"Have I seen this face in this company before?" he said with a smile as he approached me, stretching out his hand for me to shake.

I took his hand reluctantly. I noticed there was a kind of naughty smirk on his face as he looked at me as if he was up to something mischievous.

 "Meanwhile," he continued, still holding firmly onto my hand as he squeezed it gently, "how was your journey back here, I hope you had an enjoyable flight?"

"Sure thing, tha_thank you sir, I stammered.

"Good," he said, looking at my face closely, his voice sounding deeper than usual, making me nervous. "I would see you around,"

 He squeezed my hand gently before he let go of it, then he gave his sister a wink. And just like that, he was gone.

I took several breaths to calm my nerves down, trying my best to not let Gloria notice how tense I was. And thank goodness she didn't.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I looked at her and saw her looking at me with a smile on her face and other employees standing were all staring at me.

"So, what do you think? Isn't he just exquisite? And the right man for you?"

I rolled my eyes, as much as I would admit that Gary is indeed handsome, I still did not think he was the right man for me. Besides, what would he want to do with a woman who already had three kids?
