Alpha’s Virgin Stripper
Chapter 81

It had been almost an hour since the Alpha left when Kenji got the call. He was in his office in the casino, overseeing the affairs of the casino and the club - as it had been since the alpha went MIA on all of them. Kenji spun his chair for the tenth time, still trying to make sense of the look on the alpha's face.

The concern and partial fear in his eyes. He ran as though it was his mother in the hospital. From all Kenji saw, the alpha was doing it subconsciously. He was not aware of the immense care he was showing; it was all springing forth from his heart.

His phone vibrated on his rich mahogany work desk. He leaned into the table and stretched his hand towards the phone. He caught hold of it and pulled it to himself.

Lake's name was on display, he answered the call and pressed the phone to his left ear.

"Rush Empire here." He said aloud. Lake's voice followed.

"Do not be silly, Ken. I need you at the hospital, right now."

Ken sat up, adjusting his posture on the seat.

"Neil isn't there with you?"

"No, he had other assignments. Just hurry up."

Kenji heaved a heavy sigh and rose from his seat.

"Sure thing." He replied, the line went dead immediately.

Kenji decided to check on the casino floor before he left. He was not sure when he would return and he needed to make sure everything was in place.

He took the elevator to the floor of the casino and stepped into the large room. Bentley and the girls were there; he could tell it was another training session.

But Ashley was nowhere to be found. Kenji narrowed his eyes on the stage, he was going to ask about Ashley's whereabouts before the door creaked open behind him.

He turned sharply to replace Ashely, clad in grey denim shorts and a loose black crop top sweater. She was ready to walk past him when he gripped her right hand.

Kenji was pleased to feel her melt under his hold. He has missed her in ways he could not even begin to imagine. Ashley turned to him and leered at him. Her eyes were impatient, and her right foot tapped the ground continuously. Even though her body and the redness of her cheeks said otherwise, Ashley seemed like she would rather be anywhere else than in front of him.

But Kenji would not deter. Whatever Kenji Lockwood wanted, Kenji Lockwood got, the stripper could not be an exemption.

He heaved a sigh and allowed his eyes to sweep over her.

"You know; I've been thinking about the last discussion that we had. You know, the one in the bathroom stall. I've given it much thought and I have concluded." As he spoke, he searched for the urgency and anticipation in her eyes, but all he found was boredom and irate impatience.

He fought hard to keep his composure before he continued. He leaned closer into her and she stayed still. He made his movement seem like he wanted to make their conversation private, but Kenji knew within himself that he missed the scent of her hair.

"I know that I cannot give you what you wish to have, right now. But, does that mean we should let go of what we have? Is that what you want, Ashley? Because it's not what I want. Think about it, Ash." Finally, she cast him a long glare before she spoke.

"I have thought about it. And I have decided that if we are going to work, you are not going to interfere with my job. I cannot leave these girls because they are the only family I have. It's not worth it, not yet."

Before Kenji could speak again, Ashley wriggled free of his hold and turned her back to him. Kenji watched her buttocks sway in her shorts and he kissed his teeth.

His phone vibrated in his pocket and he reached into the fabric to pull the phone out. It was Lake again.

He answered it and pressed it to his left ear this time.

"I'm on my way."

With that, he turned away from the stage and stormed out of the room, leaving himself no room to think of what Ashley had said.

Immediately Neil dropped the basket of fruits at the office, he knew this was an event he had to inform alpha Cole about. He had been very interested in the stripper's mother, Neil wondered what the former alpha would do if he told him she was now awake.

Would he also rush to the hospital as alpha Lake had done? Was there something significant about the stripper and her family that no one else knew about?

For starters, the alpha had been treating the stripper like she was a diamond trophy. She was not allowed to take personal dances and she has been put on more paid leaves than normal. There was something he was not being told.

He drove back to the building of Rush Corporations and found his way into the elevator. He did not stop until he got to the floor of Alpha Cole's office.

However, when he got there, he was informed that the alpha was on the rooftop. Nervous, Neil found his way to the rooftop and found alpha Cole speaking to two pilots, a helicopter was in front of them, it had either just landed or was preparing to take off.

Neil saw the alpha turn towards him and beckon at him. Neil stepped forward immediately, when he stood in front of the alpha, the elderly man looked down at him.

Despite Neil's young age, alpha Cole was still considerably taller.

"Do you have news for me? You know better than to interrupt my afternoons for no reason." The alpha began. He seemed angry, bitter in fact, about something. But Neil could not quite tell what it was.

Neil should have been used to his grumpy and indirect threats, but it did not make them scare him any less.

He cleared his throat and bowed immediately.

"Greetings, alpha. Yes, I bring you news." Neil replied, folding both his hands at his back.

Alpha Cole stared down at him. Neil could feel the man's eyes boring holes in his back. "Speak. I should be on my way to Naples right now."

"Yes, yes, of course." Neil stuttered as he raised his head, allowing his eyes to meet the alpha.

"The stripper's mother, Doris Wyatt, has just woken up."

The alpha's frown was sudden.

"You said the same thing a month ago."

"Yes. I said she had regained consciousness, but now, her eyes her open. She is... she is fully back into the land of the living."

Neil knew he did not imagine the sudden shock in the alpha's eyes, even if it was gone before he could make sense of it.

"I have an urgent meeting in Naples. We would discuss this latest... event when I return. And, there is something I need you to do for me." Alpha Cole replied. Neil lowered his eyes to the ground, his response to duty.

The alpha pulled out a printed paper and held it out to Neil. Neil's eyes rose to the picture in the alpha's hand. It had the face of a woman in it, a woman he did not recognize.

He allowed the alpha to place the picture in his hands.

"While I'm gone, I want you to replace this woman, look into her. I want to know who she is, where she lives, her family, and everything that is to know about her. Am I clear?" Neil nodded his head. First, it was the stripper's mother. And now, a random woman? What did the alpha have with these women that riled him up so much? "Good."

The alpha turned away from Neil and walked into the helicopter.

Neil took several steps backward, watching the aircraft take off into the air. Perhaps he was right, there had to be something he did not know about.

And he would be damned if he didn't replace out what it was.

He looked down at the picture in his hands again.
