Cherreads

Chapter 96 - Extra episode #02 - Their thirties

Year of 2022

Sitting at the end of the table, the alpha listened to the reports with extreme attention. His countenance was serious and cold, which made the other employees apprehensive because they were unable to read his mood.

Was he approving the reports?

Did the teams do well that semester?

Did the company's shares go up again?

It was impossible to find an answer. As soon as the employee finished presenting the report, he cast an anxious look at the other managers who were sitting. They all exchanged glances and remained silent, until the alpha's blue eyes rose.

— Okay, it seems that you did well in my absence — he said finally, causing a wave of sighs of relief — I want you to keep the pace, and I will give you two weeks to prepare to present the projects next semester.

— Yes, sir!

The alpha raised his head, maintaining seriousness and sighed then.

— I want managers to better train their interns, some reports are deplorable. If they do not show any improvement, send them away and open new positions.

The managers agreed with the heads, although they knew it would be even more work. Still, they wouldn't dare contradict the CEO.

Then, at the end of the meeting, the alpha stood up from his chair and left the meeting room. The platinum hair and light eyes softened for a moment.

— Mister Mckenzie!

— What is my agenda, Cecilia?

The beta opened the notebook and followed Jake's steps as it reminded him.

— You asked me to remind you that at eleven o'clock you wanted to go into the third meeting room, to talk with your uncle.

— That's right.

He turned in the corridor of the big company, continuing by leaps and bounds until reaching the third meeting room. Knocking a few times, he opened the door and saw those familiar faces.

— Do you mind?

— Not at all, Jake.

His uncle continued with that stiff countenance, despite the clear signs of age. Jake walked into the room and approached his uncle and looked at two other people who were sitting.

— So what? Will we have a new CEO for the hotel chain?

Sadie kept her composure with her hands on the table and her confident look, which Jake considered a very positive point. If your cousin would take her father's position, it would be a great help. She would certainly have some great ideas to keep the Mckenzie name clean.

But for that, Sadie had to pass through the last obstacle: her own father.

The alpha stared at the folder with the report that Sadie prepared, and then he sighed.

— Haa... Okay, I give up.

Jake raised the corner of his lips discreetly. His uncle still had hopes that Milles would assume his position, especially after Jake — who had been expelled — became heir to the entire conglomerate. However, his cousin continued to escape between his fingers skillfully.

Looking at Sadie, Jake opened a proud smile on his face. After settling some details and Jake sign the document approving the entry of Sadie as the new owner of the Mckenzie hotel chain, his uncle withdrew from the meeting room leaving Jake with the other two.

And then he sighed low.

— Gee, I feel like a whole war is finally over.

— Don't tell me — Sadie massaged her forehead and looked at Turner, who was standing next to her — The fact that I had an alpha on my side was essential to make my father believe that everything would be fine.

— And what are your plans now?

— Get married! — Turner said smiling, holding Sadie's hand - Finally we can get married.

— And you intend to live here?

— No, we will continue in Rio de Janeiro — Sadie explained, laying her head on the groom's shoulder — The largest tourist spot in the country is the perfect place to have the headquarters of the hotel chain.

— I understand. Anyway, before you go back to Rio, let's get together to settle the rest of the documentation of your possession — Jake turned to his secretary, who already wrote everything efficiently — So now...

— You need to stop by the studio.

— Right, the studio — Jake turned to his cousin and smiled at her — I'll see you at dinner at grandpa's house.

— See you later.

Jake quickly withdrew from the meeting room for the second time and walked through the company corridors. On the way he gave orders to his secretary, to prepare reports for the next meetings, to pass requests to some managers and other tasks.

As he was returning to work, there were many issues.

After free up his secretary, the alpha went to the parking lot and got into his car. He drove the streets with a certain anxiety, after all... He would see him.

The studio was not very far, it was a small building in the city center. After parking and getting on the elevator, Jake looked at his watch realizing it was one o'clock.

— Did he already lunched?

The elevator doors opened, and Jake went straight to the third meeting room. To their relief, the group of people stood in front of the door, indicating that the meeting should be over by now.

He immediately recognized the reddish-brown hair and felt his heart miss a few beats. Approaching that little wheel, Jake drew everyone's attention. Not to mention, an alpha with platinum hair and strong body and broad shoulders, his presence would be noticeable even if he did not want.

— Good afternoon.

The guests recognized him immediately.

— Mister Mckenzie!

— I see you have finished the meeting.

Jake cast a glance at Nathaniel, who crossed his arms and nodded.

— We are looking forward to the project that Theodore wants to do in the future — Said one of the guests, who looked at Theodore with excitement — Surely many parents and teachers will participate in this type of workshop.

— It is an honor to create an event where we can talk about education and healthy development for children.

Jake raised his eyebrows slightly surprised to be seeing so many things going the right way. I mean, he was a few days without work and thought that when he would return everyone would be killing themselves because of so many problems, but it was not the case.

— We will deal with the details as soon as we confirm the sponsors willing to work on this project — Nathaniel added, with a calm face as always — I believe that toy brands working with cognitive development may be interested in the proposal.

Jake heard every word of Nathaniel and it was hard not to feel proud. How could an omega be as smart and visionary as he? And to think that it was hIS husband, father of their children. Sometimes it seemed like a dream.

When the guests left, only the alpha and the two omegas remained in the corridor. Theodore let out a slight sigh and massaged his shoulders.

— You should take it easy since you're pregnant again.

— Gabriel said the same thing, but I prefer to deal with this kind of thing myself. So I leave everything as I want and avoid future problems.

— Speaking of which, where is he? — asked Jake looking around.

— Is editing some videos to launch on the channel. I'm recording vlogs to put together the pregnancy diary, it seems that people are too curious to know how is the gestation of an male omega.

— This will certainly bring great numbers — Nathaniel thought — But you'd better take care too, Theo.

— Haha, don't worry, I have two alphas who care about me to the point of being overprotective.

Gabriel was really careful with his omega, Jake admitted that since he did the same thing with Nathaniel. However, Theodore was also well looked after by his eldest son. Still, the couple's third child would be born soon, which would probably stir up the spirits of the whole family.

It was a natural thing among hybrids.

— How long will it take for your husband's radar to beep and show up here? — Jake asked in a funny tone, pulling laughs from Theodore.

— I'm sure it won't take long.

— Don't tease Gabriel, Jake. You're jealous too.

— Nhaa, I just think it's fun to see him grimacing and growling like a chihuahua.

And in fact, it did not take long for Gabriel to appear in the corridor and go to his husband as soon as he saw Jake there. As expected, the other alpha embraced Theodore possessively, casting angry looks at Jake.

— Biel, are you...

— I just want to hug you, it's not too much to hug my husband, right?

Jake raised the corner of his lips, being about to tease him... Just for fun, but Nathaniel held the alpha's hand and looked at Gabriel with the same provocative tone.

— I fully understand that feeling. I also have my moments when I like to show affection unnecessarily in front of others to make it clear that this beautiful alpha already has an omega.

Nathaniel and his gift of using fancy words to offend someone... was always wonderful. Every time Gabriel showed hostility to Jake because he was ex-boyfriend of Theodore, Nathaniel rebuked him.

Incredible as it may seem, it was something common between them. A strange friendship, I would say.

Jake covered his mouth and looked at his husband feeling his cheeks turn red.

— Oh, fuck... I'm getting exci-

Nathaniel covered the alpha's mouth immediately.

— Now that we have finished our meeting, I ask for you excuse me. Enjoy lunch, and anything send me a message.

Theodore blinked a few times and then dropped a low laugh and waved to the couple.

— All right, thanks for coming with me to this meeting, Nath. You're great.

— There is no need.

Quickly the omega grabbed Jake's arm and pulled him down the aisle. Jake did not open his mouth to complain, he loved to see Nathaniel acting that way. Maybe he talked nonsense just to see those reactions, although behind some jokes there are some truths.

In Nathaniel's office, the omega closed the door and turned to Jake with a serious look.

— What do you think you're doing?

— Feeling horny.

— I'm serious, Jake.

— My dear...

Nathaniel raised his hand and looked at the alpha.

— Jake, you had surgery. Why the hell are you already walking around?

— It's been a week since I had the surgery. The doctor said that everything is fine — Noticing the incredulous look of the omega, Jake stressed — I swear!

— Jake... don't joke about it.

The alpha extended his arms and embraced Nathaniel tenderly. He knew very well that his omega was concerned about him. Well, it was Jake's decision to do the vasectomy so they wouldn't have any more children. This is because the twins' gestation was very complicated for Nathaniel.

Jake had made this decision some time ago, but Nathaniel asked him to wait longer since he was too young to do the surgery. However, after they were suspected of a new pregnancy because of the omega malaise, Jake immediately agreed to have surgery. To the relief of the couple, he was not expecting the third child.

— I'm fine, you've taken good care of me all this time. How could I not improve?

Nathaniel hugged him tight and rubbed his face on alpha's breastplate. It was so cute that Jake squeezed him too, and kissed his scar affectionately.

— Are you really okay? Aren't you feeling anything?

— I'm fine, tomorrow I have to return to the doctor and he can release me now.

The omega raised his head and let out a low sigh.

— And you had to wear suit just today?

— Well, I attended a few meetings, so it's necessary. Why?

The tips of Nathaniel's ears turned red, but the omega looked away.

— For nothing.

Immediately Jake understood, and raised Nathaniel's chin so that he would not look away. Leaning forward, the alpha kissed his lips carefully. Of course, if he was very thirsty to the pot, would end up getting excited. And for now, he needed to control himself.

At least until the doctor let him do whatever he want.

The sweet and affectionate kiss was slow. Jake still knew how to use his charm to steal omega sighs, like swiping the tip of his tongue around his lips, exploring Nathaniel's mouth very slowly, and rubbing his fingertips in his back.

Imagine if Jake Mckenzie would not miss the opportunity to kiss your omega, in his office within his own company.

Imagine!

Raising Nathaniel's legs to sit him on the table, the alpha stood between his legs and continued to kiss him deeply and slowly. The sound of their tongues meeting echoed through the office.

By heaven, how he loved to kiss Nathaniel!

His mouth seemed to fit perfectly into his. Even the gentle touch of the omega, which hugged him by the waist and slipped his fingers on his back while the kiss became deeper was something delicious.

They could have been eighty, Jake would still kiss his omega with will! For the feeling, surely, would remain the same.

The door of the office was opened, and a girl and a boy passed by interrupting the couple's moment.

— I've already said that it's nothing like that.

— Of course it is, Lucas! Stop being slow!

— You're seeing things where there is not, Ariel!

Jake and Nathaniel sighed low, although the alpha did not come out of the middle of his husband's legs. When the twins saw their parents there, they stopped arguing and opened a embarrassed smile.

— Hehe... Hi dad.

— Hi... Dad.

Jake's eyebrow was raised, his hands resting on the table — one on either side of Nathaniel.

— May I know why you are arguing?

— It's not a big deal... — Lucas said, looking away.

— A girl asked him out. Again! Now he keeps saying it's nothing.

— What's the matter? You also go out with your friends and I do not say that you like them.

— But you're twelve, Lucas!

— You too, you crazy!

— Hey — Jake caught the attention of the two, who shut up at the time - I don't want fighting in here.

Nathaniel sighed low and signaled to close the door of the office. As soon as Ariel closed the door, the omega could speak quietly.

— Right, Lucas, what happened?

— A girl in my class invited me to go on her birthday, that's all.

— She likes Lucas, dad! I swear she stares at him all the time!

Ariel was a jealous sister, that was clear. Lucas was relatively calm, extremely similar to Nathaniel. Hardly saw malice in people, but that was more for age. Jake really believed that at some point his son would be the faithful copy of the omega and have an acid and understated humor.

But for now, Jake would prefer that Lucas remain innocent.

— Ariel, you don't have to react like this all the time. This girl may even like your brother, but if he does not care to her, that would not give the matter as closed?

— But dad... I don't like her.

Jake leaned over to Nathaniel, and whispered in his ear.

— I'm amazed how jealous she is.

— So much to inherit from you, and she took just this.

— What?! Wait there, I'm not jealous! — Nathaniel was staring at Jake with his eyebrow arched, and the alpha rolled his eyes — Okay, just a little bit, but I never reached that level.

— Of course, I never let you get to that level. — Before Jake hit, the omega turned to the kids —Ariel, don't be like this. It's suffocating.

— But dad...

— I know you just want to protect your brother, but you need to take into account that Lucas also knows how deal with it.

— That's right!

Nathaniel came down from the table and went to his children, hugging them.

— Don't fight about it. Besides, now is not the time to worry about dating, studying is more important. Have you done your homework?

Ariel made a grimace and Lucas agreed with his head looking excited.

— But dad, I need help on a project.

— Sure, let's go to the coffee shop and I'll help you.

When Nathaniel and Lucas left the office, Jake approached his daughter and whispered.

— And... who was the girl?

Ariel looked to the sides, checking that her father and brother were not around and then she took out an envelope full of cute stickers glued.

— It's that same girl. This is the third letter she sends him.

Jake took the letter and agreed with his head, shaking his daughter's hand. Lucas was identical to Nathaniel, and of course he drew the attention of the girls in his classroom. Jake was jealous with both children, but the difference was that Ariel rejected the boys directly, while Lucas, most of the time, did not know how to deal with the girls.

— Good job, Ariel. Keep looking after your brother.

— You can leave with me, dad!

Hugging his daughter by the shoulder, the two also left the office. Maybe in the future, Lucas would have trouble getting a girlfriend who was approved by his sister and father. However, he would have his other father to help dribble this jealous double.

Anyway, that's how the Mckenzie family worked.
