Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 358 +25 BONUS I was digging into my second sandwich when there was a soft knock on the door .

I looked up to see Alannah staring down at the floor .

Alpha Amy ? I put my sandwich down and smiled .

Alannah , please .

I am serious .

You can just call me Amy .

She shook her head .

Alpha Vince likes the distinction .

I sighed .

Okay .

What can I do for you , Allanah ? She bowed again .

Alpha Brandon is here to take you to lunch … Her eyes flashed in terror as she looked at the food on my table .

Send him in .

Brandon came in a few seconds later but stopped short .

Oh … He looked back and I heard Allanah running back to her desk .

I didnt realize you were already eating .

I wanted to take you out for lunch on your first day .

I smiled and winked .

Ill have to reschedule .

Maybe we can go tomorrow .

Today , I have a date .

I rubbed my hands together and checked the time .

Brandon furrowed his brow and walked over and sat down .

A date ? With who ? I looked up , surprised to hear the jealousy in his voice .

With Rick .

Brandons mouth fell open .

You have a date … with Rick .

Old man Rick ? Seriously ? I laughed .

I laughed so hard tears fell from my eyes .

Wait .

I dont see whats so funny .

He started to pout .

I laughed harder .

Wait .

Wait .

Wait .

I wiped my eyes and then heaved a deep sigh , trying to catch my breath .

Brandon growled .

Im sorry , its not what I meant .

I wiped my face again .

Its not a date , date .

He finally stopped pouting .

What do you mean , then ? I smiled .

Rick wants to test me .

Hes currently finding a spot to hide a bit of code in the mainframe , and I have to find it and try my best to find and eradicate the hidden code .

Oh .

Brandon looked out the door .

Like a test ? I nodded .

Exactly .

Hes testing me and seeing how good my abilities are .

Thats why we had lunch a little early .

While I finished eating , he laid his code , and once the time limit is through , I can start hunting .

Youre excited about this … Brandon looks at me , confused .

I nodded , excited .

I am .

I have a friend that I play around like this .

They have honestly helped me so much in finding hidden code , and I am super excited to give Rick a run for his money .

A friend ? I nodded , then lied .

A girl who is human .

I watched his eyes widen .

We met online , and she helped me with my course work since she went through the same course years ago .

Like a mentor .

Brandons mouth was hanging open .

Your friends with a human woman ? I shrugged .

Sorta .

Chapter 358 Thats crazy .

What do you guys talk about ? +25 BONUS I chuckled .

Server maintenance .

Web site design .

She helped me set up business in my first year .

Brandon leaned in .

A business ? Nix and Megan rolled their eyes .

This whelp of a man is so predictable .

Nix shook her head .

I know .

Say a friend , he thinks man .

Megan chuffed .

Say human and he loses his mind .

Say business and he zeros in .

Predicatable .

I tossed back .

Nix whipped her tail across the ground , But we dont actually know anything about Thoth .

True .

I focused back on Brandon .

But he needed to think Thoth was a woman , otherwise he would make my life even more difficult .

Both my wolves nodded and turned away .

I nodded to Brandon .

Yeah , I help humans build websites for their businesses .

Its a fun little side job .

How much money do you make ? I thought about it .

I think last year I made a couple hundred .

Oh , so little ? He chuckled .

I mean , yeah , I was still in school .

But five hundred thousand dollars is not really chump change .

I laughed .

It was a nice little boost into my investment portfolio .

You made five hundred thousand dollars from your side business ? His words were soft .

Uh huh .

I bit the side of my cheek to stop the smile .

Yeah .

It helped build up my portfolio for school , so the money wasnt really my goal .

I needed a better portfolio for my finals .

I shrugged and pulled up a program on the computer .

I just took the money and invested it .

I dont even know what my investments are at .

There was a knock on my door and we both turned .

Rick opened the door and his smile faltered when he saw Brandon .

Im ready whenever you are , Amy .

Awesome .

Im just going to finish my sandwich and then Ill start .

I saw Rick vibrating with excitement .

I laughed and glanced at Brandon .

I should be less than fifteen minutes .

Rick nodded and knocked again before he left .

Brandon turned back .

He is actually excited by this ? I nodded .

I am too .

I grabbed my sandwich and took a bite Brandon sat back and watched for a few minutes , but I busied myself with my food .

Tomorrow then , keep your lunch open , okay ? Will do .

I smiled up at him and then turned back to my computer .

He stood and then with another look , he turned and walked out of the office .

As soon as he was gone , I hopped up and ran to the door .

Alannah .

She looked up .

Tell Rick its on .

I winked at her , earning a soft smile , and then I ran back to my computer .
