The next day, in the office:
98
Hope sent all the mails to the desired departments and went to the Finance
to the
Department to collect the proposal. As she stepped out of the elevator, she encountered Henry.
“Good morning, Henry,” Hope said with a smile. “You didn’t come yesterday. Where were you?” she asked.
“| had some work outside the city,” Henry answered.
“Oh. Don’t push yourself too hard. Next time, if | invite you, you have to come. Okay?” Hope waited for his positive response. “Sure. I've a meeting outside, so I’ve to go, Henry stated and walked away.
Hope sensed something was off with him. But she didn’t put much thought to it and went ahead for the work she had come to this department.
Once she collected the report, Hope returned to the office and found a mysterious man there. “Excuse me, who are you?” Hope asked.
The man pivoted on the heels of his shoes and his radiant smile was something that Hope noticed first. However, she found it weird because a man if smile at her at their first meeting not be entertained by her.
“Don’t you know you cannot enter in the Vice Chairman's office without a prior appointment?” Hope began reprimanding him. “You should leave immediately,” she said with a stern tone.
“Calm down, Girl! You don’t need to scold me in such a brutal way,” the man said while still smiling. Hope frowned to hear him and warned him for the final time, “If you don’t get out of here, then I’ve to call the security!” “Well, do that then, the man encouraged her as he leaned against the desk.
Hope clenched her fists and slammed the file onto the desk in frustration. She reached out to grab his arm, intending to forcefully escort him to the door.
However, his strength proved formidable as he remained firmly planted in place, refusing to budge an inch. This only served to exacerbate Hope’s irritation.
With a shove, he pushed her slightly, causing Hope to stumble back on her heels. 10:50 Fri, 1 Mar
Despite the near fall, she managed to regain her balance.
“You! I’m calling security,” Hope declared rushing to the desk to grab the landline phone. But before she could dial the number, the man swiftly intercepted her, moving in front of her with lightning speed, effectively blocking her path.
“You cannot do that,” the man said as he glared into her eyes with a smirk. “What is this, Sawyer?” Logan’s voice fell upon their ears when Hope quickly turned around.
“Logan, this man...” She paused as she realized her husband took out his name and she immediately changed her question, do you know him?” Hope pointed her finger at Sawyer and said, “He troubled me, Logan and even made me
fall. “You've such a cute assistant, Logan, Sawyer remarked and grinned. “She is my wife, Hope Moore. Don’t trouble her and don’t call her cute,” Logan stated.
“Your wife?” Sawyer was surprised to learn that. “I thought you married a mature woman. She is no lesser than a kid,” he commented.
“What did you say?” Hope glared at him. “You old man, I’m not a kid,” she loudly said.
“What did you say?” The smile from Sawyer’s lips now disappeared.
“You heard me, Oldie!” Hope stuck out her tongue to tease him and smirked while crossing her arms across her chest. Logan ended up smiling to see her playful side.
“Because you are Logan’s wife, | won’t say anything to you,” Sawyer pronounced as he pushed his hands inside his pocket.. “Just admit that you are scared of me,” Hope said.
“Huh?” Sawyer chuckled. “I am a Lycan. Do you think I’ll be scared of an ant like you?”
“An ant?” Hope snickered at him and took a step ahead when Logan grasped her hand.

“Ignore him. Also, Sawyer, you aren’t supposed to talk to her like this. She is my after all,” Logan again reminded him. “Hope, he isn’t bad by heart. He just loves to tease people,” he proclaimed. “Hope, will you attend a meeting with Paul? | think you need to learn how to handle the clients,” he suggested.
Hope got excited to learn that and readily agreed for it. Logan told her to go to Paul as he would explain her the matter and then, she should accompany him for the meeting.

Hope collected her things and left the office. Once she left, Logan asked Sawyer to take a seat.
“You seem to be in love with her. Is it real or my eyes are seeing something else?” Sawyer inquired as he pulled out a chair for him.
“| love her. | have moved on from Olivia,” Logan stated as he took his seat on the leather chair. “That’s so strange to hear. You were head over heels for her,” Sawyer pronounced with an amusing smile on his lips.
“| was not head over heels for her, Logan corrected him. “She understood my emotions better than anyone. Hope is my fated mate. She has given an essence to my life. She didn’t give up on me. More than my money and power, Hope wanted me for her. Every small thing she did made me happy,” he asserted.
Sawyer hummed in response. “Well, she is a cheerful woman. | am glad you found happiness and true meaning of life with her once again,” he commented.
“Yeah. Shall we discuss the matter?” Logan clasped his hands together as he rested them on the table.
“Yes. We should. You want to go to Thaloria and find Witch Yohana, right?” Sawyer asked him to confirm.
“Yes. Years ago, you mentioned that your family knows a witch,” Logan stated.
“Flora doesn’t perform witch related activities anymore. However, to find out the truth about Yohana and this unknown city, she might help us,” Sawyer stated.
“When can | expect to meet her?” Logan questioned him. “Give me a day,” Sawyer replied. “Sure.”
“Also, is Hope truly the woman who is mentioned in the legend? After a month, the festival related to the Moon Goddess is coming. The werewolves think that the moon stone would be bestowed to the woman in the legend. What do you think will happen. then?” asked Sawyer about his opinion.
“I've not thought about it yet. I’ve to find out Hope’s history first, Logan explained to him.
“| understand. Hopefully, you find your answers in Thaloria,” Sawyer stated. “By the way, your cousin, Henry, is he quiet these days?” He suddenly asked.
Chapter 96 “Yeah, he is. Why do you ask?” Logan questioned.
“Henry has created troubles for you. His quietness means he is planning something. Soon, the votes for chairman will happen and Henry will do his best to outvote your Sawyer remarked as per bis observation.
“| won't let the company fall in the wrong hands,” Logan pronounced. “It’s the legacy of the Moore Family and its image should not be tarnished in any way,” he proclaimed.
“You should keep an eye on Henry. He even tried to separate you from Olivia. She had to reject him then. Sawyer recalled the past incident when they were young.
“| know, but | feel he has grown up a lot,” Logan said, thinking that there was no need to keep an eye on Henry.
“Logan, you are the Lycan Prince. So, not everyone will be your well—wisher for a long time. That's why beware of Henry. Sawyer advised him. Logan nodded at him,
acknowledging his humble advice for him.
