Subtle lights came through from the floor-to-ceiling windows due to how high the room was in the building. Kao was busy scribbling upon the piles of documents on top of his table, which needed to be reviewed and signed by him for approval. He was actually quite tired after going back and forth from Bangkok to Phuket and back to the central city of Thailand in one day.

A sigh left his lips as he massaged his temple with one hand; the other held the mountain pen he used to sign the documents. Then, finally, he put down the pen and pressed the intercom button to speed-dial his secretary outside his room.

"Victor, have you gotten my medical results from the hospital?"

"Yes, sir. The case has been sent to my email and I've printed it out."

Another deep sighed, eyes closed while still massaging his temple. "Good, bring it to me." Kao didn't wait for another reply and ended the connection.

Not a minute passed; there was a knock on the door of his office. Without his approval, an alpha named Victor came inside bearing a case file in his hands. He stood in front of the table of his superior, "Do you want me to bring any meds, sir?" He asked after seeing the troubled and tired look on his boss' face.

The alpha who sat behind the desk opened his eyes and chuckled a little seeing the concerned look on his secretary's face. Kao shook his head, "Probably just a little jetlag," he reasoned. "Did you come in contact with my doctor?"

"I have cross checked the information on this medical case with your doctor," Victor opened the case file to look at the content again. "Overall, your medical result showed that you're healthy, sir."

The boss, Kao, nodded, but there's something that had bothered him before he underwent that check-up. "Were my hormones fine, then?"

Victor nodded, "Your doctor didn't particularly say anything about your hormone, sir," he sounded sure because he had talked to said doctor by phone before Kao had asked for the medical result. "Ah, but he mentioned that your pheromones have slightly toned down."

Kao frowned, "Toned down? What does that mean?"

"He doesn't imply further on that, sir," Victor answered. He looked unsure for a moment, which caught Kao's attention.

"What is it, Vic?"

Victor was slightly startled as his boss saw that he had something to say. "The first time we met, I was quite shaken by your pheromones even though I'm an alpha because of the intensity, sir."

Kao looked quite interested in what his secretary had said. He doesn't really notice the change in his surroundings, but he can tell that his pheromones were more domineering than other alphas. To hear this from a fellow alpha had him thinking back on many occasions where people flinched when he came in close proximity with them.

"Maybe the doctor wanted to mention that your pheromones weren't that strong like they used to be, sir," Victor finally finished saying his opinion.

Kao frowned after he processed what his secretary had said, "So, you were saying that you noticed my pheromones had been...toned down?"

Victor nodded, "Not completely diminish, sir. It's still prominent, but it isn't as noticeable as before."

Kao hummed; confusion showed clearly on his face. He had asked about his hormones to his doctor because of his excess pheromones and urged that he always felt occasionally. But, of course, that was also why he spent every weekend indulging in sexual relief, but because he had stopped that for weeks now, he was questioning whether there were changes in him as he abstained from that.
