Unscentable

Chapter 15 - Unscentable

Bradley POV
Bradley just stared at Eddie, more than a little confused by what the man had told him. In fact, all in the room were staring at him with raised eyebrows. As bthe man reported to him that he was unable to get any information out of the
Assistant Manager, Izzy, from Piper’s Goddess Gown Store.

Absolutely nothing at all, that apparently the tiny human woman was immune to not just his good looks and natural charming self, but also to his mild use of his Gamma Charm and then his full Gamma Charm as well. They were all
shocked, and Eddie himself was clearly not happy about it at all, he’d never come across a human who could resist his full use of the Gamma Charm, gifted to him by the Goddess herself.

Izzy had watched him walk into the store, he’d smiled right at her full of charm and she had damned near blushed apparently, smiled right back at him, like she’d already liked the look of him and he’d thought it was going to be a walk
in the park. For when she had slid her eyes over him and she had done, he’d registered her heart rate increase and she’d sucked in a breath all sharp, reacted to him as though she was very attracted to him even her dark brown eyes had darkened slightly and her pupils had dilated a little, all the tell tale signs of attraction. All the things he used to tell if his Charm was going to be needed or would work. Everything had lined up for him to charm her.

But though he’d been able to flirt with the girl to soften her up, as he worked up to getting the information that he wanted out of her. The moment that he had brought up Piper, her whole attitude had completely changed, she had gone from smiling and being all friendly to instantly frowning at him, with
narrowed eyes.

So he’d kicked it up a notch and turned on his Gamma Charm just enough to sweet talk her like he would any human woman, and the reaction he had gotten had shocked him completely. Izzy apparently had taken a half step back from him and glared right at him, then snapped at him “I don’t give out personal details of employees to anyone.” and looked like she had been about ready to smack him one.

Eddie had decided to use the full use of his Gamma’s Charm on the woman to try and calm her down and had reached out to touch her to assist with the use of his Charm, only to have her actually hit his hand away and tell him not to touch her. His southern drawl had been well pronounced when he’d tried
again to get the information from her and she had raised an eyebrow at his sudden change of accent, he’d still gotten nothing from her.

So he’d changed tactics altogether, figured hitting on her and sweet talking wasn’t going to work, so he told her the truth, that Piper had gotten injured in an alleyway behind the store and that he was honestly concerned about her, had even let his real concern for Piper shine through to her, been genuine with her, that he just wanted to make sure that Piper was okay.

She had not believed that either, had stood before him and folded her arms right across her chest and outright called him a liar to his face. Had stillrefused to give out any information on Piper. Izzy wouldn’t even put in a call to Piper for him to make sure she was alright and safe.

Stated flatly, “If Piper was in trouble she would have called me and told me,” and then glared right at him, took a step towards him and stared him down almost, no fear in her where he was concerned, one tough lady, which Bradley had thought the same thing the other day.

After a full minute of the two of them just staring each other down with Eddie starting to get more than annoyed with the woman, she had pointed a finger right in his face and narrowed her eyes right at him and he’d quoted her “Tell
your boss, to get lost. Piper is not interested in A-holes, who believe they can just have whatever they want, because they are some bigshot, rich, smug bastard who are used to walking all over everyone, without a care as to the fall out.” Then she had just turned and walked away from Eddie, stalked her
way across the store to the front door and yanked it open for Eddie to leave had looked right at him pointedly and told him “Get out, and do not come back. Get a dress else where.”
