I was spending some time thinking about her, fantasizing about her and thankfully, I realized it soon enough.

He chuckled, “At least you agreed that she distracts you.”

I did not wish to argue with Beast so I didn’t bother replying and instead focussed on the file in front of me.

“Get up, now!!”

I let out a sigh. “Dru, I am working-”

She shook her head, “You work 24 by 7. Now, I want you to get up and come with me outside right now. Everybody is asking for you.”

“Let them. If they find their mates, nobody would bother
