It was kind of unnerving to constantly feel someone watching you.
Demian was relentless in watching every body movement that she took. It was as if he wanted to dissect her head and spill its contents on the ground.
"Do you need something, Sir? If you want something, then you can say it to me without any problem," said Alice.
Instead of Demian, Jeorge replied, "Ah, he is kind of jealous. Talking to another omega when his betrothed is right there, makes my fiancée jealous. Demian, I have said it many times that I only love you. So, need to be stingy with your new assistant."
Demian slammed his hand on table. His cold eyes were glaring at Jeorge, as if wanting to beat the shit out of him. Jeorge had a habit to embarrass him in front of everyone, which he 'greatly' hated by the way.
"I. Am. Not. Jealous," Demian spat out.
"If you say so~ I am happy to see you like this," teased Jeorge.
"Get out from here! You have no right to be here."
"I am fiancé. So, I have the right."
"I don't care. I revoke it! So, get out from my office."
"Fine. No need to be angry. Well, a happy wife is the gateway to happy life. Therefore, I will do whatever you command."
Jeorge smiled and walked towards the door. Just before getting out, he waved at me and left the room.
I am really confused by this chain of events. Are they flirting in front me? Hah, no need to show your love right in front of me, okay? Although, I can't say it out loud... but that doesn't mean I like seeing this.
Suddenly, the cold voice of Demian rung in her ears.
"You are very friendly with him," commented Demian.
Flinching, Alice replied, "I-it's n-not... that... I mean, I am kind of surprised to see your fiancé. He is kind of a big actor."
"So, you like him?"
This question made Alice gag in disgust. She immediately shook her head in refusal. She said, "No, I don't like men. In fact, I don't like anyone. I plan to be single throughout my entire life. I hope, I have cleared your doubt."
Demian looked into her eyes intensely as if trying to verify the truth of her words. After a few moments, he adverted his gaze. He scoffed, "Stop talking nonsense and do your job." For now, he would believe her words. If she lied to him, then... she would be fired.
"Well, I have something to ask you. I... should have asked you this first. Can you give me this month's salary?"
"You want your salary today? On the very first day of your work?"
"Yes, if you have no problem with it, that is."
Demian snarled, "And why should I give your salary on the very first day of your job? It's hubristic to think I will do that. Now refrain from saying anymore nonsense and start doing your job seriously."
Sure enough, I knew. This guy will refuse me. Why did I even ask this question in the first place?
"Okay, fine. I will just give you your one-tenth of your salary."

"I want sodium hypochlorite. Can you tell me where to find it?" I asked a random stranger.
The man gave me a weird look. Oh, I forgot. Use normal words for the time being. Teaching chemistry for years have inculcated a strong use of 'chemistry' words.
"I want to find bleach. Where can I find that?" I changed my question.
The man nodded and replied, "You can go to that mart. The one in front of you. You can find there everything, even bleach."
"Thanks."
Keeping that in mind, I started my 'journey' to the mart. Right now, I have a very tight schedule. Thanks to Demian, who accepted my request... unexpectedly, that is... I can now 'renovate' my house by myself. While walking, countless people were looking at me various gazes. Some I don't even want to think about. It's best for me to ignore them. Although, it's malaise for me to have these many eyes on me. How the fuck is this 'body' weak and malnourished but at the same time has a very beautiful appearance? What makes me angry is that, I am an 'omega' which imposes a lot of restrictions upon me... biological ones. Also, omegas in this world are seen as a 'weaker' species much like the female species in my old world. Humans are very astute species and at the same time are idiotic in nature. They do find a way to differentiate each other on the basis of different grounds. Hey, who am I to object that? There is unity in diversity, isn't it?
With just a few steps, I panted heavily. I stopped and stood still. Man, this body is too weak. Although, I shouldn't complain about this. It will take me at least three months to make this... er, my body to be working properly. Maybe, I should get a full diagnosis of my body. I clearly don't want any more surprises in the future. The plot has already given me enough to ponder about.
Will the heroine be an omega? Or, an alpha? I don't know. Jeorge and Demian are clearly into each other. What about the heroine? Forget about these two, there is one more male lead remaining, isn't it? The one 'OG' Alice liked. Bleh! I will vomit if I think about this. Ah! The images! The fucking images!
I closed my eyes for a moment. Now, what have I taught myself before? No, disgusting thoughts. Okay, now let's go the mart and buy those things. Just when I started to walk, I bumped into something... or, someone.
