Bound to the Alpha

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Russel's POV

As soon as I turned my back to Zack, the mischievous smile vanished from my face. It wasn't until I stepped out of the company building that I allowed the tension to drain from my expression.

I wasn’t sure if I was making the right decision. I anxiously bit my finger as I glanced at the documents on the passenger seat, it's containing all the information I’d gathered about Jhune.

My attention shifted to my phone as it suddenly rang, and my tension spiked when I saw his name on the screen.

It’s too late, there's no turning back now. Whether I like it or not, I have to obey him. If his words reach the chairman about my resistance, things could go wrong, but if I comply and Zack finds out, things could get even worse.

Damned if I do, damned if I don’t.

I clenched my fist and leaned back in the car seat, frustration bubbling inside me. I've lost count of how many times I've cursed him in my mind.

I maneuvered the car toward the spot where we first met. When I arrived, I didn’t go in right away. Instead, I parked a few blocks away, got out, and lit a cigarette. Only after a few deep drags did I feel a bit calmer.

I have no idea what Sasha is planning or why she wants information on Jhune. Knowing him, he must got something up his sleeve.

I'm trapped in this situation, and I know he's orchestrating every bit of it. He must be thrilled, knowing I’m doing his dirty work behind Zack's back.

At this point, I have no choice but to play along, even if I hate it. I need to learn whatever I can about his plan, I can't afford to let my guard down.

I stayed there for a few minutes before getting back in the car and driving to the meeting spot. With the information in hand, I stepped out of the car, and was immediately greeted by a Russian national—likely one of his men.

"Господин в своем кабинете. Я провожу вас. Пожалуйста, следуйте за мной." the man in the black suit said. The master is in his office. I'll accompany you. Please follow me

I shook my head. "Нет необходимости." I handed him the documents. No need.

"Передайте ему это от меня. Я спешу и только зашел, чтобы оставить их." I replied firmly. I really don’t want to see that bastard's face right now. Give these to him for me. I'm in a hurry and just came to drop them off.

"Боюсь, это невозможно." he said, making me frown. I'm afraid that's not possible.

"Извините?" I raised an eyebrow. Excuse me?

"Господин хочет встретиться с вами лично. Он приказал мне немедленно проводить вас." The man replied. The master wants to meet you in person. He ordered me to escort you immediately.

I didn’t argue and reluctantly followed him to the man's office. We took several turns through the dimly lit building before stopping at a large black door.
