<h4>Chapter 287: Do You Have Any Idea, How Worried I Was?</h4>


    (Author’s POV)


    Myra, with her head lowered, was trying to avoid any kind of eye contact with him. Her face was concealed behind her locks of hair, obscuring Brave’s vision. But as soon as heid eyes on her, he felt a sudden rush of adrenaline for just a brief period of time, his wolf reacting to it, getting all giddy and excited.


    For Brave, this sensation was odd. He had never felt this way in a long, long time. It felt foreign to him. He whiffed the surrounding air for any trace of a familiar scenting from her, but there was none, which puzzled him even more. ’Why did Raw and I feel this way towards a total stranger? Maybe it has been a long time, so my hormones are fluctuating because of that.’ He chalked it down to that.


    But Brave was still very much interested in knowing who this shy girl was. If she has achieved such great things in such a short amount of time, she would be a great asset for Everests Corporation in the future.


    With a deep, maic, and resonant voice, heplimented her with a rare, captivating smile, "Ohh~ really, that’s quite a feature. I have heard that getting into Red Stone isn’t an easy task, and achieving top scores in all subjects is even something only prodigies can do. Chairman Larson has keen eyes to have unearthed such an academically gifted person. I was not aware that he had even started a schrship program to help such deserving students. That is somendable of Mr. Larson. It is a good motivation and would only make others strive even harder." He was all praise for Myra as well as Jacob. Brave knew what genius of a mind Jacob Larson was.


    After all, no ordinary person could hold onto the crown prince position for so long, despite such hostility and toughpetition, and then eventually be the King of Vampires. And since his reign, Jacob has strived for peace more than anyone else. He never started any conflict. But if someone tried to cross the thin line and act smart, he was ruthless, merciless, and cruel with his actions, not sparing even his friends.


    So, if Jacob rated Myra so highly, she must be something else. He was enthralled by this seemingly simple human girl and wanted her as one of his subordinates. He looked at Myra once again and asked, "May I know thedy’s name?"


    Myra’s hands were clenched together. Her right hand’s palm was holding onto the dorsal side of her left one. She tightened her grip on her left hand as Brave asked for her name. ’What to do? What should I do to get out of this situation? If I tell him my name, he will know my identity for sure. He will know who I really am. And if I don’t tell him or fake a name in front of Prof. Mitchell and Secretary Chris, they will find it suspicious.’ She was in a spot of bother.


    Standing on the side, Elisa has been keeping an eye on Brave’s behavior. The guy who had been curt and distant towards her a few minutes ago, although he wasn’t even wearing that red string anymore was seemed intrigued by Myra’s presence and her long list of aplishments. Even when he was praising her, and Myra’s face was lowered, Brave’s eyes didn’t leave her even for a nanosecond. He kept staring at her with a vibrant glint in his eyes. He was fascinated.


    All of this made Elisa’s blood boil with sheer rage. She was fuming in anger as she bit her lower lip in frustration, and red at Myra with a venomous stare, ’This pathetic human girl. I need to do something about her. How dare you try to steal what is mine? I have already staked a im on him. By no fucking way I would let a stupid, peasant human to seduce my target.’


    Everyone, including Brave, was waiting for Myra to introduce herself. Taking a deep breath, she cleared her throat and started, "I am~ ...." But before that, she could utter her name, and someone came to her rescue.


    "Ohhh~ .... There you are. I have been looking for you since the start of the seminar, Mira. You just disappeared on me. Do you even have any idea how worried I have been?" Fabian verbalized in an intimate tone as he walked towards Myra and held her by her waist. He said her name with a slight dialect. To those who didn’t know her name, it sounded more like Mira than Myra.


    Myra was caught off guard by his sudden words and actions, her eyes widening at his words. Not just her, Chris, Brave, and Elisa were dumbstruck, but the sudden intruder, too. But the most baffled one was none other than Oswald Mitchell. His mouth was agape as his eyes were drawn to how close Fabian was holding Myra.


    Fabian, without a care in the world, turned his gaze towards Brave and said with a curt smile, "Mr. Everests, trying to recruit our people. However, it’s unfortunate that Chairman Larson has already offered her a position at the headquarters. You will have to wait in line."


    "You got me. By the way, did Chairman Larson really extend an offer, Mr. Shadow?" Brave shifted his words towards Chris, who was still trying to make sense of all this.


    But one nce from Fabian was enough to make him his aplice as he stated, "How can he not when thedy is so talented andpetent. You know, Chairman Larson is someone who likes to reap what he sows." He tactically answered Brave’s question.


    "Ohh~ .... Too bad for me. He has all the good people around him, you, Mr. Chris. But thedy hasn’t made a decision yet. I am still free to make an offer, I suppose." Brave was suave and sanguine with his attitude as he handed his ck and gold card to Myra without a care for the prying and envious eyes and said, "Please, take it, in case you might need it." He then looked between Fabian and Myra, a pang of ache near his chest made him ufortable. He didn’t like the physical contact between the two.


    Elisa, when she saw Fabianing in and holding Myra in his arms, she realized who Myra was. Her right brow arched as she looked at Myra with amusement, ’Isn’t it the little canary? The one Fabian has been fixating on. The one he has been drooling over and pushed me away for." She then gave Myra a long, hard nce from head to toe, ’Changed appearance to cajole more men, huhh. I guess your little crush is nothing special, Fabian. She is just seeking attention. ’


    "I am sorry, but we have somewhere to be. Mr. Everests, please enjoy the event. I will get back soon," saying this, Fabian didn’t wait for anyone to say anything and just walked off, leading Myra alongside him.


    Their departing figure was an eyesore for Brave. His eyes turned sharp at their receding backs as they both disappeared into the crowd. As soon as Myra left, he felt a sudden emptiness.


    Oswald, who was too stunned to even say a word up until that point, snapped out and said, "It was nice meeting you, CFO Everests." He then followed the trail of Fabian and Myra.


    Chris too left, he pressed his lips and was anticipating what Jacob’s reaction would turn out to be.


    Fabian took Myra to a less crowded area, as thetter was still in her shocking state. During the whole conversation between Fabian and Brave, her mind was racing a mile a minute. She was sure that this was it. She was finally caught, but thankfully Fabian rescued her. ’But why did he call me Mira and not by my actual name? And he even steered the conversation and helped her get away from there.’ She was perplexed by all this.


    Fabian was sweating. His back was drenched. He was brimming with anxiety, but arrived at the right time to save Myra and himself as well.


    Strangely, they were still in the intimate posture. His hands on her waist, and her hand unconsciously holding his sleeve. In the eyes of others, they looked like a couple. Because of Jacob’s opening speech, everyone’s attention was on Prof. Stephens, and naturally, when they saw a female beside him, their curious gazes were dying to know who she was.


    Myra was feeling extremely ufortable with this. She wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible, so with a small and whispering voice, she said to Fabian, "I need some fresh air."


    Fabian understood her words and took her to a spare room. Neither of them said anything to the other.


    As they entered the room, Fabian made her sit on the couch and said, "I will bring you some water. You rest here." He then made his way towards the attached kitchen.


    He walked back and handed Myra a ss of lukewarm, honey water, "Here~"


    Myra took it with both her hands and questioned him, "How did you~ ..... how did you find me?"
