Peculiar Case of an Alpha (KENTELL)

CHAPTER 01

Stell has been bothered after that night.

The man stopped typing on his laptop and heaved a long sigh, he then rested his chin on his right hand while staring blankly at the screen. It's been two days since he saw his boss sniffing his jacket and Stell has no words. He couldn't react with too much shock and 'quietly' left the office to meet his friends, pretending he saw nothing. Though Adelaide and Justin saw his distress but the beta dismissed it by laughing.

He acted like he isn't bothered but it's his jacket! Any person would find it creepy down to the core. He didn't expect to see that vulnerable (and maybe too private) side of the person he's serving but he doesn't want to judge quickly. However, what bothers him the most is why his possession? It'll be reasonable if he's an omega but Stell is a beta, what reason would his boss sniff around his cloth? There must have been any reason why the alpha is holding his jacket. Stell might interpret it wrongly and mistakingly saw that he's sniffing it. It was dark anyway, he could be wrong.

Besides-

Stell's eyes moved to the CEO's office doors, his face turned sour, and shook his head trying to focus himself on work.

Ken has been acting the same as always, neutral and serious. He wasn't suspicious and Stell couldn't confront him aimlessly. If he did, tables might turn and he'll be jobless or even worse, media might accuse him as a liar then his reputation will be ruined. The Alpha is an icon, it could be possible! Then companies would reject him and he won't be able to find any job.

Is he overthinking much? But he's being realistic, Playing safe is better. The boss is somehow nice to him (only if asking if Stell ate lunch is nice enough) and it's bad to assume things. He has already worked with Ken for almost two years, everything flows up smoothly until now. He shouldn't be acting this way.

"Ugh, Stell stopped thinking about it!" He told himself and tapped his forehead hard to stop his overthinking. But suddenly his telephone rang and quickly, he reached the handset and placed it on his ear.

The beta coughed to prepare his throat and answered in an attentive tone. "Yes, sir Suson?"

He waited for a few seconds before hearing the young man's voice.

"Bring the scheduler, I need to recheck something"

"Yes sir is that all?"

"Also bring a pen, mine ran out"

"Yes"

Stell then ended the call, took his folder and favorite pen on the table, and quickly walked to the door. The beta was supposed to knock but abruptly stopped his hand from knocking, recalling a memory of how he opened the door without the CEO's permission. He gulped, thanking that the Alpha didn't notice his presence that night.

Finally, the man knocked on the door three times before opening it and entering inside. The ambiance changed as soon as he walked in. It was heavier which the beta was bewildered, it wasn't as heavy in his past visit, furthermore wonders if Ken is in a bad mood. Stell moved his eyes and saw the young man sitting on his working table. His suit was again different, a fit beige color with a black necktie. The man is always surprised at how his boss brings different suits every day, maybe he has a collection as he owns a fashion company. But then again it might be a 'rich' common sense that he wouldn't understand. The older man quickly walked in his direction and laid the folder and pen on the mahogany table.

"Here's the scheduler sir, you don't have any appointments today but you have a schedule to see our team's benchmark clothes that'll be released for the Summer collection later at 4 pm"
