Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Ch 245: Creative Punishment
Rika did not like to be touched much, and she could confidently say that most people in her shoes did, too.

So, when the Omega employee grabbed Rika and attempted to return her to the office forcibly, Rika’s instinct was to avoid conflict. She skillfully evaded the attack, choosing to act as if nothing had occurred.

Rika had no idea why the other omega looked as if Rika had done something unforgiving, and she looked livid that Rika had even stood in front of her.

“How dare you dodge my hand after I was gracious enough to reach out and teach you how to behave? Don’t you have any manners? That’s it! I must teach you how to behave in front of your seniors.”

The omega looked livid, but her pheromones genuinely got to Rika and gave her a headache. The overpowering scent made the back of her head throb, and Rika had a hard time keeping up with what was happening.

Rika wanted to say that she had gotten over her trauma of omegas and could smell them just fine now, but her senses were proving otherwise as they overwhelmed Rika and forced her on her knees.

Breathing was difficult as the pheromones pressed down all around her.

No one was touching her, but Rika still felt violated, and her body shivered because of this impact. She was having seizures that she wanted to get rid of. But Rika’s body refused to cooperate when she took a deep breath.

Instead of feeling better, Rika choked and immediately grabbed her throat to let the air inside.

For a second, everyone looked too stunned even to speak. They could only blink in shock as they watched this display.

Finally! Someone realised that Rika’s condition was getting critical, and they needed to interfere.

“Stop it! At this rate, you will kill the intern! Hey, you need to stop right now!”

Someone yelled, but Darling had already lost control of herself, and there was no way she would consider the words of an unknown person to penetrate her senses.

Just when the darling began to increase the intensity of her pheromones, she felt someone grab her throat and choke her. That caused her to release her hold on her pheromones, and the darling blinked up at Mark Goodwill’s face, looking back at her with disdain.

Alpha pheromones overpowered her own and forced the darling to sub to this more powerful alpha.

“What do you think you are doing in my building? It is very arrogant of you to believe you can stink up this place however you like, and there won’t be any consequences…. hmm, what should I do with you?”

Mark Goodwill asked, and his pheromones caused the omega to become breathless.

The omega had often wondered how it would feel to be surrounded by a powerful alpha’s pheromones, but this was not the kind of ‘surround’ she had in mind when she wanted that.

She could not breathe, let alone think. It was as if her mind had been taken over by a fog that would not leave her alone.

“Young Master Mark, Rika is in a lousy condition right now. I am afraid that she might relapse, so I’ll take her out now. You should sort out whatever is going on here before you even think of coming to join me.”

Emily picked up Rika’s body before walking out of the Goodwill cooperations.

No one moved as they watched this scene, and they could not help but feel envious. They all wanted to be in Rika’s position, being carried out of the building by one of the most influential alphas in the world.

It had been a distracting scene, but only some were distracted to see that scene.

Mark was livid as he looked at the collapsed omega before him.

The female omega was shivering and looked unkempt. Clearly, she was having a hard time dealing with Mark’s pheromones. She was gasping to get more air inside her but without any success.

“What’s wrong? You can’t handle a little bit of pheromone? You should have thought of that before you attacked a fellow employee, right?”

Mark asked as he kept his pressure high. He also concentrated on foolish Omega, who thought she could bully Rika as much as she liked.

“F-Forgive me! Please! Forgive me! I promise this will not happen again. I just wanted that omega to learn about her place! I promise I did not have any ill intentions toward anyone! I promise!”

The female omega almost threw up under all this pressure. But she kept her consciousness and begged Mark to take his side during this argument.

She also tried to seduce him by wavering her hurt pheromones and appealing to his alpha senses.

But one look at the alpha’s impassive face told her all she needed to know. This man was not even considering her worth his time.

“Tsk, you don’t even have remorse for your actions, huh? Why did I ever think people like you could change if I gave them a second chance? Ah, well, as for you! You are fired. You have two hours to pack your things and leave. Otherwise, I will have the security throw you out.”

Mark was not even making a threat now; he was making a promise. But it did not sit well with the omega to be told to leave her workstation.

She had dedicated years to her place in this company and to get where she was. There was no way she could start fresh at her age.

“P-Please! Forgive me! This was one impulsive mistake, Alpha Goodwill! I promise you that I will do better! Please, give me another chance!”

The female alpha asked. Mark looked back at her with an even blanker look than before.

“Fine! Since you are begging me so much, I will not fire you. Instead, you will be given the position of a permanent intern with no hopes of promotion or any other benefit! I think that will be a better punishment for someone like you.”
