Chapter 406 - Sarahs birthday (6) (1/2)

One by one they came to the same conclusion: Aiden is Omega.

For them, that was a huge deal. It was like mystical being suddenly appeared in front of them. After unknown period of silence, they all started talking at the same time. Everyone wanted to know more about Aiden and how he met Sarah and what is he doing here and where his skills came from...

”Boss, how did you recruit him?” Emir was half-dazed.

”Actually, he recruited me.” Sarah giggled when she remembered that Aiden approached her for a project. She drifted into sweet memories how they met.

”Details, please!” Lucija pleaded.

Sarah smiled and then moved to block Marija. ”Where are you going?” Sarah noticed that Marija is ogling at Aiden and advancing toward him.

”Just an autograph...” Marija mumbled.

”No. Keep your distance from him.” Sarah warned her.

Aiden was happy to see Sarah's reaction. He pulled Sarah to sit in his lap and gave 'not interested' look to Marija.

The only one not understanding what the commotion is about was Nick. He probably did understand, but didn't want to accept that Omega, person he idolized, is the same man as the one he hates to the core. How can a person he worships be the same person who is taking away the girl he loves? He was conflicted. Nick stood up and walked out without a word.

Mishi saw Nick walking away and followed him.

When they stepped outside, Mishi called after him. ”Where are you going?”

Nick stopped. ”I don't know.”

Mishi stood in front of Nick and scrutinized him while lighting up a cigarette. He inhaled. ”Don't tell me you honestly thought that you have a chance with Boss?”

Nick didn't respond. Of course, he thought that he has a chance with Sarah. He was learning and improving himself to impress her. He went to the gym and worked hard in school just so that she can see that he is more manly and responsible and smart. He was ecstatic with every centimeter he grew, because that meant that soon he will be taller than Sarah, tall enough for her. He found out that she loves to dance, and he took dance lessons so that when opportunity arises, he can be a good dance partner for her and amaze her with his moves. She was always so nice to him, never rejected his requests. It was obvious that she cares for him. Why would he not think that there is a possibility for a romance between them?

”Think about it.” Mishi interrupted his thoughts. ”How old were you when you met her?”

”Ten.” Nick didn't see the point of that question.

”That is how she sees you. Like a ten year old child. In her eyes you are not a man. Do you understand? All these years you are saying that you will marry her one day. Not just Boss, but all of us took it as a nonsense coming from a child.”

Nick glanced at Mishi, and then looked down again in an attempt to hide his embarrassment.

Mishi continued. ”It was a matter of time before Boss found someone, and it happened to be now. You have a choice. Do you want to be close to her? If that is your choice, you will need to accept that she has a man by her side, and that you don't stand a chance. She brought him here. That means that they are not playing. They have deep feelings toward each other.”

Nick was not willing to accept that. He lifted his head and looked at Mishi. ”How can you be so indifferent? Don't you think that Boss is amazing and beautiful?”

Mishi chuckled. ”Of course, I do. I'm not blind. But I see her in the same way she sees you, like a child. My feelings for her are something between older brother and a father. It's not romantic.”

Mishi inhaled one more smoke and pressed cigarette on a bottom of the rock which already has numerous burn marks on it. He turned to go back inside.

”What if I can't accept it?” Nick's voice came from behind Mishi.

Mishi sighed. ”Then you should not be near Boss. Not like this. And that means that you will not be near us as well.”

Mishi went inside, leaving Nick to think about what he wants to do.
