ELIJAH'S POV:-

　　It's been a few days since I have been bearing her silence. To be honest, I was dying to hear her voice again. I tried everything. I took her shopping. I bought her gifts. I took her to many restaurants. I even took a day off in the middle of the week to spend a whole day with her. I took her to the poolside. We went to the beach the day I took off. We once even went hiking. I tried whatever I could. But that stubborn woman didn't utter a single word. It was starting to annoy me more than I was expecting it to. It was hard. I had no idea what was going on in her mind. As I never had any relationships in my life before, I was completely blank.

　　I was not sure what I could do to make it right. I did everything Daniel told me to do. But nothing was working. I was hardly having any sleep since she was extremely mad at me. There was nothing I could do to make her happy. At first, it was just the silence that annoyed me. Then she stopped smiling at me. And now, she didn't even look at me. It was getting worse as the days were passing. "Alpha! Are you alright? You look like you haven't had any sleep for days." Daniel's voice brought me back to the real world. I might have zoned out again. I was just trying to think of a way to hear her voice again.

　　I knew I was going crazy. And I had no idea how to fix everything. I didn't even know what I did that forced her to hate me so much. "You are absolutely right. I haven't slept in days. I have no idea if I will be able to sleep tonight as well. It started when Artemis stopped talking to me. As it has gotten worse, Dean doesn't let me sleep all night. And all day, he sleeps like a child. I can't believe it. He is torturing me as well." I replied to Daniel in a low tone as I pinched the bridge of my nose. I never thought Dean would ever betray me like that. I was already worried why Artemis just stopped talking to me. But what Dean was doing was nothing but pure torture.

　　Daniel filled a glass with cold water for me. He placed the water on my desk then sat down on the chair. I thanked him then gulped down the whole content in one go. "Have you tried asking her what is wrong with her instead of playing a guessing game? You know, we men can never understand women. Sometimes, we get to know the reason they are made at us. But most of the time, we just keep guessing the wrong reasons." Daniel asked me in a low tone. Then he explained the reason behind his question. It made sense why he would ask me something so stupid.

　　By the way, it was not stupid. Daniel was another person in my pack who had a stable relationship. And his partner understood him. Not that I had asked Artemis out or something. I couldn't even think of doing something like that. Well, until Gregory and Lauren would return and tell me if their theory was correct. "No! I didn't ask her. I thought I would figure it out. But it looks like I am just banging my head against the pillar all along." I replied to him while shaking my head. There was nothing else that I wanted more. I wanted to be able to hear her voice again. I was even ready to fall on my knees for the first time in my life.

　　Hearing my response, Daniel nodded slowly at me. His brows were raised as if he was shocked. Or maybe he was just thinking about something. I was not in the position to read anyone's mind. I had no idea why I hadn't gone crazy. "Instead of sitting here and banging your head against the table, go back home. Make her a nice meal first. Once you both have eaten, ask her what it is that she wants? Why is she mad at you? Sometimes, being straightforward is the best thing to save a relationship." It was the first time he was giving me that advice. But of course, it made sense. If I couldn't figure it out, I had to ask her by myself.

　　But that whole idea to cook lunch for her, I was not sure I would be able to do it. I was not sure how I was able to stand on my feet. "Cooking for her. I don't know if I would be able to do it without burning the whole building to the ground. And trust me, I don't want to burn my own building to the ground." I spoke while yawning tiredly. I was thinking about asking my driver to take me back home. As there was nothing more for me to do at work. I was done with my work. As he heard me, he chuckled softly while rubbing the back of his head nervously.

　　I couldn't help but glare at him angrily. I was a step away from becoming a crazy man. I hadn't slept in days and he was making fun of me. "Don't be angry, Alpha. Just pick something up on your way home. You can cook for her tomorrow. The most important task is to ask her what is making her angry at you. The meal is for you both to calm down. I am sure it is going to work." He explained further what I could do. I actually liked his idea. Well, I liked all the ideas that he gave me. And I actually thought that they were going to work. But none of his ideas were working. So it actually made sense for me to just ask Artemis what she really wants.

　　I thought about it all for a minute and smiled. I nodded my head and gathered all my things. "Will you order something for me? So I will just pick it up and go home. I don't have enough strength to wait for the order to be ready. Please Order some chicken fried rice and she loved the cheese spaghetti so much." I asked Daniel in a low tone. He nodded his head and pulled his phone out to order. I stuffed all my things in my jacket pocket. I grabbed the receiver of the landline and contacted the velat.

　　"Ask my driver to get my car ready. I am coming downstairs. I want to go home." I ordered the velat and slammed the receiver back on the phone.

　　"Your order will be ready within a few minutes. I forwarded your otp. You can go now. And good luck. You can do this." Daniel informed me in a low tone. I thanked him for everything and walked towards the door of my office. I stepped out of the office and went towards the elevator. I couldn't wait to know what she wanted. I promised myself to get her whatever she wanted. I didn't want her to be angry at me anymore.
