Shael came to work the following day as usual because he never wanted to compromise on his dream.
Although Ronan was not happy with it, he never wanted to interfere. He was only here to complete the tasks, he was staying for a short time, he didn't want to hurt Shael's pride and hurt him emotionally.
Ronan sat down on his bed thinking about Shael.
[ You must mark Omega Shael without any delay. He is going through heat and it's the perfect time to accomplish this task.]
" I know, and you are well aware that I'm trying, I don't want to force anything on him."
[ You can take advantage of his heat phase like the original protagonist.]
" I'm not the original protagonist. Let me make a good impression and then we could take the next step."
[ But you are delaying the completion of the task, you might lose points by doing that.]
" I know it's taking time and I want to complete all the tasks as quickly as possible and go back. I'm worried about my family. ... Wait, what points?"
[ You have to gain Omega Shael's trust and that trust is counted in points. You need 100 points , or complete all the tasks to escape this world.]
" To gain his trust a more reasonable approach is him naturally falling for me."
[ Nothing works better than physical intimacy to gain affection and trust.]
" You sound like a pervert."
[ I pardon you. I'm system 8685 and I am well aware of this novel that is an abuse novel. I give suggestions based on the settings of the novel.]
" Gosh, you have got some temper too."
System 8685, ".....?"
" Either way I truly want to fall for him. He has suffered enough, I don't want to fake my emotions while I am here."
[ But your emotional attachment could disrupt the plot and you might find it hard to leave after completion of the tasks.]
" Just giving him the love he deserves and leaving him with some good memories, it's a lot better than abusing him."
It was clear that he had no intentions of following the original plot.
The next day Ronan walked out of his office and saw company staff running to the waiting room. He followed them closely.
He entered the waiting room and saw Shael collapsed. He quickly approached him and took his slender body in his arms, " Get the car ready," he asked Sorrell and walked to the front entrance.
When Shael opened his eyes he saw Ronan standing at three feet distance, his eyes squinted and a look of anger carved on his face.
" You are not allowed to work until you are out of your heat," Ronan's voice was firm.
" But..." Shael held his head while trying to sit up.
" I will take responsibility! I will make sure that you get projects to work on once you are back. But right now focus on yourself," Ronan clutched his fists that were tucked in his pants, "see you after vacation."
[ Congratulations, you have achieved 5 points. Your task to achieve 100 points has officially started now.]
" That's the same as he doesn't trust me at all," Ronan thought.
He walked out of the VIP room, " please take good care of him and help him discharge," he instructed Sorrell.
Ronan was done showering and his cell phone started ringing. He picked up.
" I have safely dropped off Mr. Shael," it was Sorrell's voice on the other side.
" Thanks for your hard work, you are dismissed now," Ronan's eyebrows were furrowed. He was wearing a white nightgown. He let out a deep sigh before he settled down at his table and opened the company files to go through them.
The next day he was settled in his office looking out of the window at the skyscrapers.
[ If someone else marks your Omega, you will fail the mission leading into a change of mission or you will end up being stuck in this world forever.]
"Why would someone else...." Ronan stopped talking and then he said in his mind, " you are right, if he was to rest in the heat of course he would spend time with another Alpha." Ronan pressed fingers against his temple and closed his eyes.
He heard a soft knock at the door.
He tilted his head to look at Sorrell standing there, " Come in."
Sorrell placed the business files at the table.
" Sorrell, when an omega goes into heat and is given some time to get rid of it, he would be spending time with an Alpha right, being intimate and everything."
" You mean Mr. Shael?" Sorrell asked.
"Tsk," Long Yi clicked his tongue.
Sorrell looked down at the floor quickly.
" So?" Ronan insisted.
" Of course he... might be... having intimate moments with his Alpha," Sorrell stuttered.
" You think so too? Maybe I should not have asked him to take some days off," he turned around to the table, " but he was suffering too much. Should I go and check on him? But it might come off wrong!"
Sorrell just stood there, his eyes wide open.
"Okay, I have an idea. How about delivering some food and a message to rest well and then peek inside if he is with his Alpha or not?" Ronan looked at Sorrell.
" Who... who is going to deliver?" Sorrell asked, baffled.
" You, of course."
" Ahhh..., yes, President," Sorrell was still lost.
" Do you think it's already late?" Ronan asked in his head.
[ Omega Shael still has not been marked by anyone or else I would receive a notification or information about the changes.]
Sorrell was standing in front of Shael's apartment in a complex building. He pressed the doorbell. He could hear the slippers sliding against the floor. The camera view opened and Shael was standing there, his eyes barely open.
"Who's this?" Shael's husky voice was barely audible.
" I'm Sorrell, President Ronan's assistant," Sorrell replied awkwardly.
Shael thought that Ronan was standing outside the door too, so he quickly opened the door and saw Sorrell standing there.
Recently Ronan was following Shael like a stalker, he naturally misunderstood that he might be standing outside.
"President Ronan asked me to deliver some necessary nutrition intakes and food in case you might need some," Sorrell said, peeking inside the apartment and handing over the supplements.
" Thank him for his care," Shael's tone was casual but weak.
" Can I have a glass of water?" Sorrell asked with an awkward smile.
" Sure! Come inside," Shael stepped away giving him a way to walk in.
Sorrell walked inside observing the surroundings. He saw the bedroom door wide open but no one was inside. He looked around and found no one else than Shael.
