Alex walked out of the room he was in, heading toward the elevator. On this floor, few rooms were in use, and the ones that were used were by older rich n, who rarely ca out of their rooms.
Only one room was occupied, by a person who sotis ca out of it, and it so happened that the person in question was out of his room at the mont, flirting with the head nurse.
Alex and Kary tried sneaking past them, which wasn't easy, given that the elevator faced the desk, with little success. The man, seeing them, hollered at Alex.
"Hey! Rex! Co over here a mont!"
"Urgh…" Alex growled under his breath.
Turning to look at the man, who couldn't be older than thirty by his looks alone, Alex faked a smile. The man, dressed in a swanky polo, with shorts that were illegally, well, short, he was the picturesque version of a rich daddy's boy.
"It's Alex. Not Rex. What do you want, Kent?"
"Whatever you say, Flex. Co here and help convince this woman to date ."
Kary rolled her eyes in their sockets, unbelieving of the man's gall.
"I will do no such thing, Kent. Leave the poor woman alone, will you?"
Kent looked at Alex with a frown, still unused to people saying no to him.
"Ahh, co on. Have a bit of solidarity for your fellow n. Wingman for , and I might let you get her after , huh? What do you say?"
He said that with a straight face and a smile, and Kary almost blew a fuse.
"She isn't an object, you self-absorbed douche! Have so respect for won, you cock!"
Kent was the rich playboy type, who made it his personal mission to fuck any woman he t that were within his standards. The head nurse of the hospital was just another victim of his harassnt, and she couldn't do much but politely refuse his advances.
Alex had the feeling the man wasn't even sick and only paid money to be there and get a reason to harass the poor lady.
"I always forget how your woman is feisty, Rolex. You should really teach her so manners. It reflects poorly on yourself."
Alex could see the flas starting to flickering Kary's hair and intervened before she incinerated the poor sod.
"You need to learn to shut your big mouth, dude. One day, it'll get you into trouble," Alex replied.
Then he turned to Kary.
"Let's go, love. He isn't worth your ti and anger."
Kary huffed in anger before spinning around and smacking the elevator button in anger.
"Wow! Such an attitude! Ahah! Give her to a few days and I'll give her back to you nice and ta!"
Alex felt sothing snap in his head. He was going too far now.
He slowly walked over to Kent, a smile ever-present on his face. When he reached him, he grabbed his forearm and started squeezing.
At first, Kent smiled back, but his face quickly morphed to discomfort, and then to pain, as Alex's grip was closing like a vise on his arm.
"You better mind how you speak about my girl, Kent. If she had no restraint, she would have burned you alive already. As for myself? I don't suffer from restraint."
"Let go! You're hurting ! Do you know who my father is?!" Kent panicked, as he felt his bones about to break.
"I couldn't care less, you overconfident turd. Know your place."
As he finished saying this, Alex's eyes flashed silver, as he released a bit of his wolfish pressure on the man, before tightening his hand one last ti, feeling the bones crack under his fingers.
*Crack*
Kent's face drained of all its colour as he pissed himself in fright before his mind reconnected with his now broken arm.
"Aarrgghh! He broke my arm! This maniac broke my arm! Arrgghhh!"
Alex let go of his arm before facing the nurse.
"He needs dical attention. If he ever troubles you again, tell . I'll speak to him."
The nurse was pale as a ghost, as she watched the man saunter away, after having broken another man's arm like it was a twig. She quickly ca back to her senses, though, and called a doctor up for Kent.
At that mont, Alex and Kary boarded the now-open elevator, before the doors closed on them, both smiling.
"You know, I would have preferred to defend myself. That man will never respect won until one of us puts him in his place."
Alex smiled at her lovingly.
"I know. But your powers need to stay under the rug, for now. Mine won't be a secret for much longer, so I might as well use them when I see fit."
Kary punched him in the arm lightly before kissing his cheek.
"My knight in shining armour," she said, mockingly.
"Anything for you, my princess," Alex replied, puffing his chest up, comically.
They both laughed in unison until the elevator arrived at the underground parking, where they switched elevators to go lower into the hidden compound below. When the door opened in the facility, Guo was standing before it, waiting for them.
"Mr. Leduc. Ms. Deveille. I hear you are making waves on the top floor again. I would ask on Mr. Boudreau's behalf that you refrain from harming our other clients. It reflects poorly on our reputation, you see?" Guo said, with his wide, unnerving smile.
Alex laughed a bit before responding.
"I doubt a client like that reflects well on your reputation, to start with. If sothing, having him away from here is good for your image."
Guo chuckled lightly.
"Although it is true that Mr. Beaumont is a poor example of our reputable clients. But his father is one of the most respected politicians in the city. You should still give him due respect."
Kary huffed.
"He did. He didn't kill him. Because I would have. Talking to like I'm a piece of at, and being so misogynistic. He deserved that broken arm and more."
Guo sighed in defeat. There was no reasoning with them.
Although he agreed with their sentint, they needed to understand the under-workings of politicking. Especially given the near future to co for them.
"In any case. If you would follow . Mr. Boudreau is waiting for you to brief you on the press conference later this morning."
Alex nodded, erasing the incident from his mind, like it had never happened. He had bigger fish to fry.
He and Kary followed Guo toward the big man's office. They had a long discussion ahead of them.
