Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Ch 99: It’s getting dangerous
“Miss Steinz, right? You booked a table for two. Would you like to wait for your company to arrive? I can show your attendant to a private room in the meantime.”

Emily froze, and her body went still. That second, Rika knew that Emily was going to kill his worker if no one interfered.

Unfortunately for her, the only one around was Rika.

‘I wish Damian was here at the moment. He would not be able to stop Emily! This situation would have never happened if Damian had been here instead of Rika.

“Emily, we should head inside now. This is why I told you I should change my clothes. I look too plain compared to you.”

Rika quickly assured and also signalled the worker about what pissed Emily off.

Thankfully, the receptionist quickly caught on to what Rika tried to hint at.

“Ah, yes! That is right. I apologise for the mix-up. I accidentally asked you about the details regarding the booking next to yours. Your table is ready for you and your companion to enjoy.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Emily calmed down.

No one was willing to risk their lives by staying anywhere Emily was in her current state, so Rika was left alone.

“So, the weather is lovely out here, Rika. It’s a shame that Damian is not here at the moment. I am sure he would have enjoyed all this a lot. He likes quiet places like these, right?”

Rika babbled in an attempt to distract herself and Emily from what happened.

She felt half successful, but Emily’s mood felt weird.

As soon as they were left alone after giving their orders, Emily reached out to grab a few of Rika’s locks and forced her to look directly at Emily.

“Why did you try to distract me, Rika? I don’t like the fact that people keep disrespecting you all the time, and you make light of that situation. You should learn to get angry for your sake.”

“Or, if you can’t find yourself angry, allow me to get angry for your sake. You don’t have to hold yourself back.”

Emily’s hand played with Rika’s hair, but it also acted like a lock, preventing Rika from looking away from her gaze.

It felt like Rika had been hypnotised and could not move an inch.

She had expected Emily’s anger but did not expect it to hit as hard as it did. This left Rika with nothing to respond with.

When she gathered herself to speak up, Emily’s anger exploded, and she hit the ground hard with her fist. She picked up the glass on the table and drowned it.

“Fucking hell! No one knows just how special and precious you are, and that pisses me off. Neither your family nor these foolish people see you beyond your present gender as a beta, and that is not right. You are much more than that.”

Emily raged as she threw her fist on the table. It made the server flinch, and Rika wondered if she should call Damian.

She could not control an out-of-control Emily on her own after all.

But Emily noticed her and decided to cage Rika before she could do anything.

“Pay attention to me. Don’t look away from me. Fuck! You have no idea how hard I am holding back right now. I am so hard that it hurts. Shit! I don’t feel so good right now. My head is throbbing.”

Emily complained as she rubbed her head. Her red face and her hazed eyes sent an alarm down Rika’s spine.

She had never seen Emily look like this before, even when drunk. But this time, she looked out of it.

Rika picked up the cup in front of her and sniffed it. It smelled nothing, but Rika was sure something had been mixed into it.

“E-excuse me, but does your friend need any help? I can send someone in to help-”

The beta server asked as she tried to fend off the omegas from getting close to Emily.

The poor omega served with her was losing her mind due to all the pheromones in the air. They were also pressing down hard on Rika.

“Get out. Take everyone and isolate this wing. And no matter what happens, do not let anyone close except Damian Rodric. Now, get going before anything else happens.”

Rika ordered it, but the beta server needed help to pull that omega out.

A dozen other omegas were outside the door, waiting for it to open and run inside.

But a single growl from Emily stopped them all for a minute. That was Rika’s cue to lock the door from inside, and she quickly sent Damian a message about what was happening.

Once that was done, Rika relaxed.

‘Emily should consider herself lucky that I am locked in with her and no one else. I can somehow control myself because my pheromones do not affect me. But I am sure anyone else would have lost their rationality.’

If that happened, Rika would not blame the other party for it.

After all, how could one ignore the gorgeous alpha in front of them whose aura screamed dominance and sex?

Even Rika had difficulty looking away from that flushed face and that monster that dented Emily’s pants. (The second one more than the first.)

‘I need to focus. I cannot let myself get distracted, no matter the situation. But really! This situation looked identical to one of the dreams I had before. No! Bad girl! I should not think of taking advantage of Emily’s current state.’

Rika felt frustrated as she looked down at her phone.

Damian told her he would need some time to get back here.

Meanwhile, Rika needed to find a way to make Emily feel better, or her condition would worsen…

“W-What are you doing, Rika? Don’t take your pants off. It is not appropriate, no matter what. Now, stop it and wear your clothes properly once more.”

Rika quickly acted and pulled up Emily’s pants. Things were suddenly getting dangerous.
