PERSKY LYCANS
“Get into the car Layla..” Nolan said again this time his voice laced with impatient. She had been standing unmoving for quite some time now.
“Go on, get in…” Xander motioned for Layla to go. Layla begam to move her feet as she walked slowly to Nolan’s car.
“Bye Layla, take care of yourself..” Xander waved at her.
“Aren’t you going home?” She asked after getting in the back seat.
“I have somethings to deal with..” he replied as Nolan soon started the car, driving off.
**********
Nolan parked his car at his garage and he stepped out Carla following suit, Layla doing the same.
“Hmmm..” Carla inhaled deeply as she breathed in fresh air. She was finally at Nolan’s house. It took a lot of persuasion to come here in the past and she’d never stay more than an hour.
“Nolan how about we have some drinks, what do you say?” She suggested happily. Her plan was to come here and spend some time with Nolan. Good quality time.
“I’m busy..” came his curt reply as he went straight into his room.
“So cold..” she scoffed, turning to Layla who was standing by the door.
“What about you? Let’s go get some drinks?”
“I don’t drink..” Layla politely refused. She badly wanted to ask Carla if she was the one that destroyed the reports.
“Carla..” she began.
“Yes do you need anything from me?” Carla questioned as she fought back the urge to walk up to Layla and give her a hot slap for uttering her name.
“Yes, I want the truth from you..” Layla said sternly.
“The truth? What truth?”
“Perchance did you touch any reports that were on my desk the last time you visited?” Layla inquired as Carla pursed her lips.
“Yes I did..” she confirmed, shocking Layla beyond measure.
“So you were the one responsible for it!! “Layla exclaimed in horror so her guts feeling was right after all. Carla was the one responsible for the ruination of the reports.
“You did that?” She asked again in horror, unable to believe her ears why would Carla even think of doing such.
“Yes! I placed them in the shredding machine and watched them shred to pieces..” she uttered with a menacing look on her face. She would have so much loved to see the look on Layla’s face when Nolan scolded her for it.
“I thought I was only doing you a favor..” she added her tone softening.
“Doing me a favor? I almost lost my job!!” Layla said in anger. What stupid favor was she doing for her that almost cost her her job.
“I’m sorry Layla..” Carla apologized in pretence as she feigned a sad face.
“I’m really sorry. I promise..”
“When I walked into your office, I saw the papers on the ground so I thought you wanted to discard them. I only placed them in the shredding machine to help you do that, I’m very sorry. I should have known that you still needed them..” she apologized again.
Her goal was to act nice to Layla up to the point that she’d never know what hit her.
“You’re sorry?” Layla chuckled in disbelief.
“Yes I truly am. Why would I even think of destroying what you’ve worked so hard on purposely. I saw them on the floor I swear, maybe a wind must have blown them off..”
“Look Layla..” she began on a very low tone as she stepped closer to Layla placing her hands on her shoulders.
“I know we both started on a very wrong path but trust me I have nothing against you. You’re Nolan’s mate and the Luna of our pack. I’d do nothing but protect you not hurt you. So please forgive this silly mistake of mine.” She begged with a sad expression on her face.
If Layla knew about the truth, then Nolan must be aware as well abd the last thing she wanted was Nolan having a wrong impression of her.
“Please forgive me” she pouted holding Layla’s hands.
“All right, I forgive you..” Layla finally said. Maybe it was all a mistake after all.
“Thanks Layla..” she jumped happily as she hugged Layla. Her bright smile turning into a sneer as they hugged.
“You’re welcome..”
“I’m hungry” Carla said out loud after breaking out from the hug.
“You can make something to eat. You’ll find some goods in the fridge and I think there’s also some leftover food..” Layla informed. She usually cooked in large quantity and stored them just in case.
“Can you help me make something to eat?” She requested pleadingly holding Layla’s hands again.
“I’m tired, I need to retire…”
“Please Layla..” she interuppted her.
“I would have love to make something for myself but you see I’m really a bad cook. You know I was raised up like a queen so I can’t do things like this..” she informed emphasis on the word ‘ queen’
That was what she was meant to be, Nolan’s queen. Carla thought.
“Okay, I’ll heat up some food..” Layla finally agreed as she walked over to the fridge.
“How’s living with Nolan?” Carla asked sitting on the kitchen counter.
“Good. It’s like a dream come true for me..” Layla responded her face beaming with smiles as Carla’s face immediately went pale with disappointment.
“Really?”
“I thought you both were having issues?” She asked, tucking her hair behind her ear sheepishly.
“Who told you that?” Layla chuckled. Nolan was far from nice but there was no way she was going to tell Carla that. What was her business with her relationship with him? She acted like the middle man all the time.
“Nolan is very sweet to me..” she said stirring the food on the stove.
“But you guys go to work..”
“It’s because I wanted to avoid rumors. You see Nolan respects my decisions a lot and does whatever I tell him. I’m his Luna after all..” Layla deadpanned.
“You..” Carla stammered short of words.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t sweat it dear. Please make sure the food doesn’t get burnt. I should check after Maddox..” Layla informed walking away as she rolled her eyes. Those persky Lycans, they were really a handful to her!
