The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

When Dawn woke up the next day, she was in a great mood. Are you fine??That was the first thing she asked Quetz.

I am. A prompt reply came.

Cheerfully, she got out of bed. Cole was still sleeping because of jet lag. After taking a bath, Dawn switched on her laptop and found the email in her inbox regarding the project Azura had mentioned. He mailed her the details and said that he would come around at 11AM to give her the pen drive. He wanted to meet her and discuss the project personally.

She downloaded the attached files and started to read its contents. She wasn't even halfway through it when she heard a car screeching to a stop outside. She jumped off her bed and opened the door.

"Hi!" Azura said, excited to see her. A smile tugged on his lips.

"Hi!" she replied with a polite smile.

"Did you read the report?" he asked, handing her the pen drive.

"I am still reading through it.??

"Great!" he rubbed his hands and made himself comfortable on the sofa in the living room. "What do you think about it?"

Azura pursed his lips. He looked uneasy. "We have prepared a lot for it." 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

"You should wait," came her crisp business-like reply.

"Okay, send me your detailed report about it," he said, a little wary of her comment.

"I will." She paused. "I wanted to ask about something, Azura?"

"Sure, tell me," he said.

"Wait let me grab some coffee for us," she said and went to the kitchen to get two cups of filtered coffee. Giving him a mug, she hummed a little. "I wanted to open my own investment company as I told you long back. Can you tell me how to go about it?"

Azura looked at the young girl in front of her. She looked tired with dark circles under her eyes. "Did you sleep well yesterday?" he asked, tilting his head. He ignored her question.

Dawn was taken aback. She jerked her head at this sudden question. She said, "No, the jetlag will take some time to go." For a moment she thought whether he was the one who trailed her last night. "Why do you ask?" she asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

"Your face looks so tired. There are dark circles under your eyes."

"These will go soon."

There was an awkward silence, after which Azura answered her question, "Opening your investment company without any job experience is something I would not advise. You have just arrived in Bainsburgh and I would say that you should focus on the project. This experience is going to help you. The fact that I haven't asked you to come to the office is because you need to settle and I feel it is going to take at least three weeks for that. Once you have settled well, we will talk about it, okay?"

The way he said it, it was as if he was trying to subdue her talent. But she couldn't refute him. He was right about one part – she needed experience. She sipped her coffee silently. "Okay, but I would like to visit your office next week," she declared, not completely agreeing with him about working from home entirely. Three weeks was a long time.

Azura shifted with unease in his place. He narrowed his eyes and looked out in the backyard. "We will see," he replied.

The answer didn't go well with Dawn. She stayed quiet.

After telling some more important details about the project, he left. Dawn went back to reading the project. But all the while she kept thinking about their conversation. She didn't like the way Azura actually asked her to stay at home rather than come out and work in his office. Since she was on a contract basis, he would always find ways to keep her at home. However, she was also determined to visit his office.

By evening she had finished reading the project details. Now she had to write her report. Since the report had to be submitted two weeks later, she didn't bother to write it that time. She already had the knowledge as to what she had to pen down. So she concentrated on finding things about those who had forgotten her and Cole - about The Wyatts.

Dan dug out everything as to what happened to the Wyatt Corporation in the last five years. Her father owned eight companies, which were now managed by Jason, Helena, Anne and her husband, Jake. The interesting thing was that although they managed it all, her Grandmother was still the Chairperson of the Companies. She hadn't given the reign to anyone. She looked at the picture of all of them standing in a ceremony that marked the twenty-fifth founder's day of the Company. Lily Wyatt was cutting a three-tier cake. Her father's photo was seen in the background. "I am coming, Grandmother," she whispered. "Cole is going to get his rightful place. I am going to snatch these companies one by one."

With new fervor, she closed that window and searched on how to start her own investment company. Over the next few days, she also created her blog and wrote a few articles on it. There was no way she was going to tell Azura about her plans. Using the online application form, she filled it and emailed it to the concerned authorities.

The car was delivered to her but she hadn't touched it. It was a small silver Porsche.

She had to go and give her driving license test. Azura had told her that he would accompany her but he didn't come. So she decided to go on her own and give the test. That evening when she was returning home, Azura called. "Remember the party we have to attend tomorrow?"

"Yes," she replied gruffly.

He continued, "I have sent you some dresses. If it's okay with you, choose one from them. It is an important party and I would like to see my partner dressed in the best."

"Okay," came another monotonous reply. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

"I am sorry baby. I haven't been able to come. I was buried with work," he apologized sensing her anger.

"It's fine," she said softly. And when the hell did she become her baby?

"Cool! See you tomorrow at 7PM."

Ever since Daryn had seen her, he had not had a single moment of peace. That day Maya tried to seduce him by wearing thin lingerie that practically showed every part of her body. She went and sat in his lap. She held his hand brought to her breast. "They are waiting for you," she whispered in his ear and giggled.

Daryn had removed her from his lap roughly. "I have some urgent work come up at the office." He left her and went to his office. He immersed himself in work totally. However, in the evening his sister-in-law called him, "I am coming over to your place in an hour. I want to meet Maya to discuss her wedding gown."
