Dimitrei Uvarov, a man whose imposing presence radiated power, walked with a determined step through the vast lobby of the company. His distinguished bearing, accompanied by a natural elegance, captured everyone's attention. Although he was the CEO, Dimitrei rarely visited the New York headquarters, preferring to operate from his homeland, Russia. However, this occasion was different. A meeting of vital importance had brought him back.
As he crossed the doors of the imposing building, the atmosphere tensed immediately. All eyes were on him, admiring the confidence with which he walked. His authority was palpable, and those who knew him knew that he was the type of alpha who did not tolerate mistakes. His reputation preceded his arrival, and that day, all the senior executives waited anxiously for what was to come.
Thailor, a reserved omega who worked in the finance department, was at the back of the group of division heads who were waiting for him. When he saw Dimitrei, his heart began to beat faster. It was the first time he had seen him in person, and although he had heard stories about his intimidating presence, facing it in reality was something completely different.
Trying to remain calm, Thailor inclined his head in respect, imitating his colleagues. He knew that any mistake could cost him dearly, so he followed the instructions of his immediate superior with total concentration.
Each step of Dimitrei made Thailor's nervousness increase. He had heard about how employees felt unbearable pressure when they were near the CEO, and now he understood it perfectly. The energy that Dimitrei emanated was almost tangible, a mixture of charisma and power that dominated the space.
When he reached the group, the division heads greeted him respectfully. That day was not like any other, they knew that Dimitrei was there to make crucial decisions, and each of them was prepared to support him without hesitation.
Without wasting time, Dimitrei headed towards the elevators, ready to go up to the tenth floor, where the main meeting room was located. The senior executives, including key figures of the company, followed him in silence. Among them was Thailor, who had no other option but to accompany them, since his boss had ordered him to be available for any requirement.
The elevator was charged with tension. No one dared to speak, and Dimitrei, known for his reserved character, did not break the silence. Thailor remained still, not daring to look up.
Upon reaching the tenth floor, the doors opened with a soft "ding", and Dimitrei came out first. His firm and determined step marked the pace of the group that followed him closely. However, suddenly, Dimitrei stopped abruptly, and in his distraction, Thailor, who was walking right behind, could not react in time.
He crashed directly into the alpha's back.
Time seemed to stop for Thailor, who cursed inwardly. He knew that this first meeting with the CEO was not going in the best way. His breathing quickened, trying to calm down before things got out of control.
Dimitrei turned slowly. His sharp gaze rested on Thailor, who, with his head still down, tried to avoid any eye contact.
"I'm sorry, sir," Thailor apologized, with a controlled but nervous voice. He knew that Dimitrei did not tolerate disrespect, so, remembering the protocol, he quickly looked up to meet the alpha's piercing eyes.
The silence was deafening. No one dared to move while the CEO observed the omega. Dimitrei looked at him unhurriedly, as if he were evaluating every detail of the situation.
"What's your name?" Dimitrei asked, with that deep and authoritative voice that resonated like an order. His tone had the weight of someone accustomed to giving instructions without reply.
Thailor felt a chill run down his back. His heart was pounding, but he made an effort to maintain composure, facing the intense gaze of his boss.
"My name is Thailor, Mr. Uvarov. I work in the finance department," he replied with a mixture of security and respect. Although internally nervousness consumed him, he knew that any sign of weakness in front of Dimitrei would not be well received.
Silence reigned again. No one in the room dared to interrupt the tense exchange between them.
Suddenly, Dimitrei took a step closer to Thailor. The omega held his breath as the alpha leaned slightly towards him, his lips dangerously close to his ear.
"I like your scent," Dimitrei whispered, his voice low but loaded with an intensity that made Thailor's body tense. The unexpected comment took him completely by surprise. His heart was racing, and the anxiety he felt became a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
Thailor tried to control his breathing as he felt the heat rising up his neck. He had not expected that his first meeting with the CEO would take such an unexpected turn.
Dimitrei straightened up slowly, moving away from the omega, and without saying another word, he continued his way to the meeting room.
The division head, John, noticed Thailor's state of shock and touched his arm gently, indicating that he should follow Dimitrei. Still stunned, Thailor followed him, trying to process what had just happened as they entered the conference room together.
