The CEO Alpha King novel Chapter 3

　　Serena's POV

　　"Are you listening to me?" Elena's voice boomed and I shook my head, snapping out of my thoughts.

　　"Yes. Yes ma'am." I replied. She pointed at the door once more, ushering me out.

　　"You can wait outside. I'll be out soon."

　　"Ok."

　　I sigh in relief, resting my head against the wall outside.

　　"You can sit down here." A voice called from behind me, and I remembered the face. She was Elena's secretary. I had seen her a few times yesterday with the vice president.

　　I watched as she went to her desk just beside the Madam's door, she raised her brows at me and I muttered an 'Oh' before taking a seat just opposite the door.

　　Unannounced, my mind wandered to the Alpha King. How was I going to face him after the accident yesterday? Surely, this time he would fire me on the spot as he was distracted yesterday.

　　Or should I just decline Elena's request and just try another method?

　　There was no other fucking method! My mind yelled. But what if I made the same mistake from yesterday?

　　I'm panicking! Calm down Serena!

　　And after twenty more minutes of fighting with myself, as the secretary gave me strange looks, Elena finally came out of her office, and I stood up too quickly, she raised her brows at me.

　　"What? Scared?" She asked, a little hint of amusement in her tone.

　　"Ye- yes." I answered, rubbing my arm nervously. I heard her chuckle before speaking again.

　　"You should be scared. He is the king. Everyone is afraid of him. You have to be extremely careful around him lest you get yourself into trouble." She said to me and turned to her secretary who rose in respect.

　　"Get me the files for the models." Then she turned back to me. "Stop that. Calm down and listen to me."

　　I stopped rubbing my arms and paid attention to whatever she was going to say next.

　　"Mr Zed likes his coffee black and at exactly 70 degrees temperature. No milk. No sugar. No flavours. His cup is the black one at the top of the cupboard. She instructed and I nodded obediently.

　　The coffee wouldn't be a problem as I was an exceptional coffee maker, with four years experience at the coffee shop downtown. The main struggle would be serving him.

　　All I could pray for right now would be for him not to recognize me from yesterday, because that was the only way to avoid getting fired today.

　　Moon goddess. Please don't let him remember me. I silently prayed.

　　"Run along now." She finished before turning back to her secretary who had pulled out a file and was handing it to her.

　　"Thank you ma'am." I muttered before walking down the hallway, and all the while I could feel her gaze burning into my back. When I turned to the elevator, I finally released the breath I had been holding.

　　After a few minutes of going from floor to floor, not wanting to talk to anyone because of the way they stared at me. The accident from yesterday must have spread through the office.

　　I finally found the Kitchenette and started with the coffee immediately. I made sure the temperature was perfect, and everything was in place.

　　I placed the coffee on a small tray I had found, took a deep breath and left the kitchenette. After asking a few people for the CEOs office, I finally made my way to the other side of the building, avoiding the curious stares I got from other coworkers.

　　I was extra careful this time to avoid a repeat of yesterday. The last thing I needed was making the same mistake twice in a row.

　　As I stood in the cold elevator, the coffee in hand, my heart rate started to pick up as I watched the numbers count to the very top floor.

　　Mr Zed's office was at the last floor of the building giving him the space he deserved. I breathed in as the elevator ding, alerting me I was at my destination.

　　With shaky hands, I stepped into the floor, finding the only door in the hallway and walking carefully towards it.

　　I noticed someone standing at the entrance of the door, and though his back was to me, I knew who he was. He was the man who had been with Me Zed yesterday, distracting him with a phone call.

　　He might not know, bue he saved me yesterday. A tiny smile broke from my face as I approached him, he turned abruptly at the sound of my footsteps.

　　I felt the power surge from him as he stared in confusion at me. From the aura he bled. I could only assume he was a Beta, a Beta to Mr Zed, the Alpha King.

　　I watched as his bored eyes drifted to the coffee in my hand and he raised a brow at me.

　　"You are the one serving him coffee?" He asked, and I nodded too quickly in response.

　　He sighs, stepping away from the door, but not before turning the door knob and ushering me inside.

　　"Be careful not to offend him." He advised, before nodding his head at me.

　　My heart rate picked up again as I stepped foot into the office. Immediately, an overwhelming scent hit me, as I felt the temperature drop. A strong, powerful aura filled the room and I almost ran back out in fear.

　　I heard the door close behind me causing me to jump a little in fright and I thought I heard the Beta chuckle outside.

　　I glanced around the room. It was freaking huge! With glass walls that reflected the beautiful city, white ceiling with a huge chandelier dropping from it.

　　A huge desk sat at the center with a MacBook, and various files over the desk. There was also a chair behind it and a throne flashed in my mind.

　　I noticed a head just above the neck of the chair and I almost gasped in fear.

　　He is here! He's freaking here!

　　Of course dumbass, this is his office. I almost yelled at myself.

　　I started to grow nervous, my knees grew weak, and my hands became unsteady, the cup dangled left and right a little.

　　And despite the room being cold, I started to feel hot, confused and scared. What should I do? Should I just drop the coffee and leave? Or just run out immediately?

　　The power radiating off him was enough to make me bow in respect.

　　I walked carefully towards his table, feeling his power surge around me and dropped the coffee on his table before standing awkwardly behind him. His back still to me like he hadn't heard me.

　　I think I should just leave. I thought, and maybe come back when he was in a better mood. Because despite him having sharp senses, he still hasn't said a word to me or acknowledged my presence.

　　I took a step back, keeping my eyes on his back turned to me. Then I took another, nothing happened. I almost smiled, maybe he truly hadn't noticed me, now I could quickly leave and no one would notice.

　　I was some at the door, just a few more steps, I was happy, glad I was leaving his presence. A smile broke out of my face.
