Episode 17

"Don't tell me you're a pervert," Mikkel mentioned, covering his body with both arms.

"Don't change the subject, you know what I mean, what were you doing there?" Damen asked again.

Mikkel picked up his things left on the grass and walked towards the house.

"Working," he replied as he walked.

Damen followed him inside the house to the kitchen, where Mikkel poured himself a glass of water.

"Why would you have to work in this particular place? Why do you insist on bothering Andrew?" Damen inquired.

"Things just happened that way, he's not important enough for me to bother paying attention to him, it was simply a coincidence," Mikkel expressed, sipping from his glass of water.

Damen approached Mikkel, taking the glass of water from him, and stood in front of him.

"What you're doing will have serious consequences for everyone involved if you don't stop, I can easily finish you off and no one will ever know what happened to you," Damen threatened.

Andrew had contacted Damen the day before to tell him what had happened with Mikkel, he sounded very aggrieved as he told him that Mikkel had gone to the agency to work on a small campaign as an aspiring model.

Mikkel did not lower his gaze at the threat from Damen, who was standing too close to his face.

He raised his hand to the alpha's forehead and gave him a light tap.

"How can you threaten someone like that? You're not a child, you can't solve everything by intimidating others," Mikkel said.

"Ha, you don't know me, you don't know what I'm capable of," Damen threatened again.

"You're right, I don't know you and I don't want to, but you don't know me either, the more you forbid me to do something, the more I'll want to do it," Mikkel commented, looking at Damen.

"I can get ahead with my own abilities, we are all free to work anywhere, and as I said, I will not get involved with Andrew if he does not approach me first, unless, of course, you don't trust his abilities and have to get rid of everything he can't face," Mikkel smiled.

Damen looked at the omega who was shorter than him, he was very brave despite having nothing to defend himself with, a thin omega who was very talkative and always looked happy.

"So that's how it is, a clean confrontation between the two of you with no tricks behind it," Damen smiled.

"It's not a confrontation, I just want to work," Mikkel retorted.

"Why would you do that? What happened to the credit card? Did you already spend all that money?" Damen asked, amused.

He remembered Mikkel saying he liked money, it wouldn't be a surprise if he had spent it all.

"I don't need it, it would be a loss if I ever used it, so I'm not going to risk it," Mikkel commented.

Having to pay triple the money he would end up spending would leave him with little money at the time of the divorce.

"Well, as you wish," Damen said.

"Go get changed, there's a lunch we have to attend, then we'll go visit Grandpa, he wants to see you, he's so annoying," Damen said, subtly touching the small mole Mikkel had on the left side of his neck.

"Don't touch me," Mikkel slapped the alpha's hand away and went to the room to change.

These kinds of events they had to attend together were annoying, but it was what was written in the contract.

Damen left the kitchen and headed for the living room to sit down, he couldn't help but smile as he watched Mikkel go up the stairs in annoyance.

Mrs. Romy watched them both from the hallway, it was a strange situation, but an interesting one somehow.

...****...

This time it was Damen who drove the car and they arrived at a luxurious restaurant.

"What's this meeting about?" Mikkel asked as he got out of the car.

"Now you're interested? You wouldn't stop turning up the music so you wouldn't listen to me," Damen complained as he got out of the car.

"It's because you wouldn't stop talking nonsense," Mikkel retorted.

Throughout the car ride, Mikkel had the music on high volume so he wouldn't have to listen to Damen, who kept talking about the photographs.

"What's the meeting about?" Mikkel asked again.

"It's a simple lunch with people from the charity," Damen explained.

They both walked side by side towards the restaurant.

"Are you a part of this organization?" Mikkel questioned.

"Why?" Damen asked.

"No reason," Mikkel said and started laughing afterwards.

"What are you laughing about now?" Damen asked.

"Ha ha ha ha, it's nothing," Mikkel denied with his head.

It was unbelievable that someone like Damen was involved in a charity being the way he is, this world was no different from the one he used to live in.

As they approached the entrance to the restaurant, Mikkel saw Andrew standing there. When he saw them, Andrew hurried over to Damen, completely ignoring Mikkel, and grabbed the alpha's arm without any shame.

"I missed you," he whispered delicately.

Mikkel heard him clearly, but walked past, leaving the two men behind.

"Oh, Mikkel," a delicate female voice greeted him.

"Miss Maria," Mikkel greeted with a smile as he saw Maria whom he had met at the party.

Maria was in the company of his wife, whom Mikkel also greeted.

"We'll talk later," Damen smiled, letting go of Andrew's grip, and went to introduce himself alongside Mikkel.

Andrew took a deep breath to calm down, he understood the magnitude of this lunch, most of those present were married couples, he just had to endure until this meeting was over.
