Chapter Nine

~Venni Reynards Part I~

It was like no one existed outside of Laila’s projects. The men in our company were quickly realizing they never had a chance with her. She just kept brushing them off. I would have thought she just didn’t care about those things if Ami didn’t mention dragging her out to a club and then her disappearing with a guy for a night.

Normally, Ami wouldn’t have brought it up, but she had said it offhand as she laughed about one of the guards getting what was quickly becoming the Porter Brush Off. The doctor knew all about sex, she wasn’t innocent on the topic, but it was as if the idea of it didn’t exist at work. I respected her for it. It seemed that the majority of the women in our company found BMS to be their hunting grounds if they were single.

But Dr. Porter? She seemed to be determined to keep her two lives separate and that stubbornness made it impossible for her to even notice when another employee was hitting on her. And so the brush offs began. She either didn’t hear them or misinterpreted what they said. I couldn’t stop watching it. It was a wreck every time, like watching a stampede of minotaurs chasing down the poor fool stupid enough to get in their way. The results weren’t pretty. They never were.

“You’re smiling,” Rhett said, coming to stand next to me. We were in the lobby and Laila was over by the elevators with another fool trying to get her attention. Whatever was on her phone was a lot more interesting. She could barely contain her irritation.

“Just watching the show,” I said, not looking at him. “Did you get my report?”

“I’m looking into it, but we want you to follow him. Rodan has a couple of questionable contacts. How did Dr. Porter respond to his request?”

“She said no.”

“You know, she says no far more often than she says yes.”

“A blessing,” I said and held in a chuckle when the man gave up and walked away. Laila got on the elevator and turned to face us. Our eyes met briefly as the doors closed. My back straightened at that moment. She was so beautiful, even when she kept her clothes casual. Today, she wore jeans and a dark gray tank top, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, causing her features to sharpen.

An innocent glance and my wolf wanted to chase her down. At this point, her scent was ingrained in me, so I wouldn’t have any trouble finding her. And I’d enjoy the chase too. That thought shocked me, and I shook my head, hoping to shake it off. That was not me. I was not a beast who hunted down their prey and then took what they deemed as their prize. Some of the wolves in my pack were like that. I refused to be the same. I was more than my beast’s instincts.

“I’m beginning to think she knows.”

I turned to Rhett and frowned.
