THE ALPHA IN DISGUISE CHAPTER 8
Adrienne didn’t expect to be given the most difficult mission in her life and that was to make Pedro fall for her. When Pedro returned from his date, she couldn’t look at him in the eye. She was also hesitant to take the paper bag with goodies from the nearby coffee shop.“It’s from Keith,” Pedro insisted when Adrienne hesitated in accepting the gift from his cousin.She was more disappointed when it wasn’t Pedro who bought the goodies but his cousin. She checked the goodies inside, and when it contained her favorite croissants, her eyes widened in excitement to pair it with coffee.“Thanks, that’s sweet of him,” she said.Pedro wanted to grab the bag and threw it in the nearest bin but it would make him look like an immature child who was having a tantrum. “Don’t you want to share it with me?” He jested.“Of course, I will! Coffee?” She asked. “By the way, your mother came earlier and she wanted me to relay a message to you.”“Such as?” Pedro was interested in his mother’s latest sty

Pedro couldn't believe his eyes when an exquisitely beautiful woman approached him, wearing a radiant smile that seemed to light up his entire existence. The sight of her was simply breathtaking, surpassing any beauty he had ever encountered. However, his gaze couldn't help but notice that her choice of attire, a sleeveless ribbed turtleneck dress, seemed rather out of place, concealing some of her natural charm. Although the dress accentuated her well-toned physique, Pedro couldn't help but find it absurd. Why on earth would someone wear a turtleneck in the scorching heat of summertime? "Miss McBride, what are you doing here?" he asked as soon as he recognized her. "To meet someone," she replied casually because she wasn't at work. "Must be your boyfriend, huh?" Pedro remarked, his voice tinged with curiosity. Adrienne remained silent, apprehensive about making a misstep. Instead, she gathered her thoughts and inquired, "And what brings you here, sir?" she asked again because he did

Due to what happened last night, Adrienne wasn’t able to get a peaceful sleep. When she got up in the morning, her body was sore and tired. She didn’t feel like going to work but she needed to do something about Pedro Lassiter.Right, she shouldn’t delay her talk with Carmela Lassiter! To hell with the consequences of her action in the past but she decided that she couldn’t bring herself to seduce Pedro Lassiter. The man was rude beyond redemption!“Hey, what’s wrong?”“Morning, Jasmine!”“You look beaten, did something happen last night?”“It’s a long story,” Adrienne responded and after she peeled the hardboiled eggs she would have for breakfast, she prepared her milk.“Care to talk about it after work?”“I’d love to but I need to speak with Carmela Lassiter later,” she informed Jasmine about her plans after work. When the other woman nodded, she changed the topic immediately. “So, how’s your broken heart?”“It’s still broken but works just fine,” Jasmine replied.“Don’t you have pl

Pedro frowned when he noticed that his secretary wasn’t on her desk. Adrienne must be absent because it was already past eight in the morning but she wasn’t in the office yet. He sighed before getting himself a cup of hot coffee from the pantry.“Mom!” He was startled to see his mot her coming in with Adrienne. “Mamu said you went somewhere,” he said, and then he noticed that Adrienne was there. Suddenly, he felt relieved to see her.“Morning, baby! I just dropped by to say hello. By the way, I’ll be using the conference hall for a few hours,” Carmela said but her eyes were on Adrienne.Pedro’s brows snapped together at her mother’s statement. “What for?” He asked. “Adrienne, can you give this to Keith?”Adrienne nodded and accepted the documents from Pedro. Well at least, she wouldn’t be able to hear them argued over the bunch of women in the conference room. “Okay,” she replied.“Wait! I have a visitor coming at nine-thirty, can you order some muffins from the coffee shop?”“You did

“Are you out of your mind?” Carmela shouted at Pedro when he declared about moving out of the family home. At first, she wanted to hire a seductress for her son but her mind changed. She wanted Adrienne to do the job because he liked the woman for her son, Pedro. She could tell that Adrienne has a kind heart, and she would respect her son forever. “It’s part of the changes, Mom.” “Pedro, no! Why are you being like this?” When Pedro saw that his mother was on the verge of crying, he immediately strolled towards her and embraced the most important person in his life. “It’s temporary, Mom. I just need to check something about myself,” he pleaded with her. “Please, mom?” After thorough consideration, Carmela nodded her head and said, “I’m going to miss you. If sending those women away could change your decision, then I will beg Adrienne to continue working with you.” “What do you mean?” Pedro asked when his mother brought up Adrienne’s name. The woman has been a nuisance to his peace

Adrienne wanted to concentrate but the women’s chatters distracted her. “Didn’t I tell you to sort the documents?” She snapped at all of them, and it was during that time when Pedro got out of his office.She thought that he would scold her but he just ignored her as if he didn’t see her at all, and what’s worst, he went to one of the women. Later on, she witnessed Pedro going out with one of the girls. She recalled their not-so-recent conversation that he would need a woman whenever he’s bothered. It shouldn’t bother her but Adrienne couldn’t help but imagine Pedro’s body on top of the pretty woman.What’s wrong with her?Ever since Carmela Lassiter asked her to seduce Pedro, her head was filled with his images. When Pedro went out with one of his future secretaries, she was jealous. Supposedly, she’s the one to accompany him. Of the three women, he chose the most flirt of them all.“If you’re done, you can have your lunch now,” Adrienne informed them because she was not in the mood

Two weeks later, Adrienne stared at the stylish apartment with wooden decorations on the outside. She was positive that the rectangular windows in an asymmetric way would let in plenty of light during the day. Unlike her old place, the house was equipped with a modern kitchen, cozy dining, and two modern bathrooms. The living room was large as if it was designed to entertain a lot of guests. The apartment itself spoke of money especially the furnishings inside her bedroom.Did she regret her decision?She had no idea just yet. It’s her second day at Pedro’s apartment as his mistress. Yes, she agreed to be his mistress. Although there was money involved in her agreement with Mrs. Lassiter, the main reason why she agreed was because of her feelings for Pedro. Once and for all, she wanted to experience to live with a man she has feelings with. She promised Jasmine that she would only give it a try for a few weeks then she would go back home or she’s only trying to fool herself.“How do
