Noah came back from the washroom.
Noah: thank you so much
Evan:no problem, here's your bag
Noah: thanks
Noah: I gotta go find Mr reed, goodbye
Evan: yeah, goodbye
Evan: speaking on the phone "he is heading upstairs now, go, he's all yours"
A trio of dominant alphas in sleek suits drifted over to noah, their smiles polished but their tone sharp.
"Reed's new assistant, isn't it?" one said, eyes sweeping over Noah like they were appraising stock. "You're awfully young for this crowd."
"I… handle his schedules," Noah replied carefully, forcing a polite smile.
"Schedules," another echoed with a dry laugh. "That what they're calling it now?"
The third leaned closer. "Tell me, does he make you work overtime, kid?"
Suddenly, the perfume weared off, but Noah didn't notice.
One of the dominant alphas leaned close to him again, "you're an omega",
The dominant alphas started rushing on to him after smelling his pheromones, Noah ran as they chased after.
The first yelled "come to me, I'll make you feel good"
The second "come handle my "schedules" too"
The third "come here cutie what's the rush I'm much better than reed in bed you know.
Noah anxiously searched for the perfume in his bag "where's this damn perfume now", but couldn't find it, he tripped and fell.
The dominant alphas came closer to him, laughing and saying "you're mine now little bitch".
Noah: no please, please don't touch me.
The first stretched out his hand to touch Noah's face, but Noah crawled backwards.
Noah: please don't, please don't touch me.
Their laughter was low, condescending — the kind that made Noah's stomach twist. He looked down, willing his hands not to shake, but before he could step back, a shadow stretched across the marble floor.
Diamant was there.
He didn't raise his voice. He didn't have to. The room seemed to shift with him, like gravity itself obeyed his presence.
"Is there a reason," he said evenly, "you're behaving this way with my employee?"
The men froze.
"No offense meant"
Diamant:"What rubbish, you still have the audacity to justify yourself"
"Reed,We were just...."
Diamant: Enough, shut it
Noah stood frozen for a moment, heart hammering.
Diamant turned to him, his expression softening just slightly. "Did they touch you?"
Noah shook his head. "No, sir.You we're right on time, if you hadn't come here, I don't know what would have happened to me( Noah sobbed) "
"Reed, we..."
Diamant: I'll deal with you later "Leave."
It wasn't shouted — it was absolute. The kind of command that didn't allow negotiation.
The men muttered apologies and slipped away, their laughter dead before it reached the next table.
Diamant's gaze lingered a moment longer, unreadable beneath the ballroom light. Then he sighed quietly. "You shouldn't have been left alone here. Come with me."
As they moved toward the terrace, away from the noise, Noah glanced up at him — the city lights reflecting in Diamant's silver eyes.
"Thank you," he said softly.
Diamant didn't answer immediately. But then, almost under his breath:
"You shouldn't have to thank me for doing what's right."
The music swelled inside the ballroom, muffled by glass doors. Out on the terrace, the city glittered far below — a quiet world for two people learning what it meant to trust someone else in a world built on power.
Noah was still shaking from the fear of the incident. Diamant lift him up and took him to a hotel room in the hotel the party was hosted.
Diamant: rest for now, I'll be back in a while.
Diamant headed to a secluded area and asked his men to bring him the three dominant alphas that messed with Noah. When they were brought of him he said.
Diamant : so you dared to touch Noah with your filthy hands.
Diamant: cut them off (he ordered his men)
????: Mr reed, please don't do this.
Diamant: huh, when noah pleaded you not to touch him, did you stop? I guess no.
????: aren't you going to far for an employee.
Diamant: am I(he smirked and left)
Diamant went back to the hotel room and to his surprise....
