The Alpha’s Human Mate

Before going to work the next day, she thought of different kinds of explanations she could give to Sam but couldn’t find any. She later thought of just avoiding him.

She entered the company and was about to go into the elevator when she heard someone call her name. “Ellie, wait up.” She looked back and saw that it was Christina. “Hey! How was your date?!” Christina asked as they both entered the elevator.

“Is that the first thing you’ll ask me?” Ellie asked back with a chuckle.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking all night about the date, so I just couldn’t wait to ask you.” The elevator stopped at the third floor where they work, and they came out of the elevator. They were about to enter their office when they bumped into Sam.

Hey Ellie.

“Hi Sam, what are you doing here?” She asked. She knew that he didn’t work on the third floor, so she was a bit surprised to see him there.

“Yeah, I came to see you.” He answered.

“Hmm… I haven’t had a chance to apologize yet. I’m really sorry about last night.” She apologized with a sullen face.

“No, it’s fine. I was just wondering where you know the CEO of Warren Cooperation from.” He said, looking at her as if to get answers from her face.

“Oh yeah, I… I did him some favors, so he just wanted to thank me.” She stuttered because she couldn’t think of any other lame explanation than that.

“Are you sure?” He asked, not believing what she was saying. “Even if she did him favors, why did he come to their dinner date?” Sam thought. He also remembered Alex calling her his woman.

“Yeah, absolutely.” She answered with a laugh.

He moved closer to her, held her shoulders lightly, and said. “If you need any help, you can always come to me, Ellie.” He knew she was hiding something, but he didn’t want to pressure her, so he just let her go.

“Hmm, sure.” She smiled. He also smiled and left the floor to go back to his work. She also went back to her work, but she couldn’t stop thinking about the contract.

She wanted to ask Christina’s opinion, but she also didn’t want people to know about what was going on in her life, and most especially, they were just getting to know each other.

They finished their work, and they all went to their homes.

“When she got home in the evening, she saw the contract on the table where she left it yesterday. “Do I really want this? $25000 per month is not a small amount of money. But isn’t that like selling my child?”

She wanted to inform Jasmine about it, but decided to leave. “She also has her own issues to solve.” She said to herself. After much thought, she finally decided to go to the Warren Cooperation tomorrow.

The next morning, she called her workplace, telling them she would be coming late that morning. Staring at the big company, she was still having doubts about going in. Finally, she entered the company, and she went to the lady behind the counter.

“Good morning. I’m here to see Mr. Alex.” She said this to the lady.

Without looking at her, the lady asked, “Mr. Alex, from which department?”

“I should have told her the CEO,” Ellie thought. “I’m here to see the CEO, Mr. Alex.” She said to the lady, which finally got her to look up. The lady looked at her from head to toe before she finally chuckled.

“Do you have an appointment?” The lady asked.

“No, but can you please tell him Ellie Loren is here to see him?” She asked. “I’m sorry, ma’am; I can’t allow you in if you don’t have an appointment.” The lady said. She already knew that she might not have an appointment with the CEO, but she just asked so as to make more fun of her.

Ellie could tell that the lady didn’t want her to see the CEO. “I guess she likes him,” Ellie thought. “OK, can I book an appointment then?” She asked.

“Yes, you may, but the next appointment is in two months.” The lady said. She thought Ellie was probably a slut who was only here to seduce the CEO.

Ellie wanted to say one more thing but decided to leave the rude girl alone. She remembered that the CEO had used her phone to call him last night. She tried calling the number, but it kept saying the number was busy.

She was about to walk out of the company when she bumped into someone. “I’m so sorry.” She apologized without looking at the person.

“Ms Loren!” The person called out. She looked at the man who had called. “Do you know me?” She asked, wondering where the man knew her from.

“Yeah, I’m Jeff, Mr. Warren’s assistant.” The guy introduced himself. He knew her from the day Alex told him to find out everything about her. “What are you doing here?” He asked.

“Oh, I’m so lucky to meet you. I’m here to see the CEO, but I wasn’t allowed in.” She said, “Do I have to wait for two months before I see him?” She asked, feeling so down.

“Of course not; I’ll take you to meet him right away.” He said, directing her towards the elevator. The lady who was behind the counter saw everything and was a bit scared that the lady might report her to the CEO. She was surprised to see Jeff talking to her. “Oh my goodness, I hope my work is still intact,” she thought.

They took the elevator to the last floor, where the CEO’s office was. He was the only one on the last floor; even Jeff, his assistant, was not sharing the same floor with him.

She was a bit nervous in the elevator. Sensing this, Jeff said. “You don’t have to be nervous; the CEO is not that scary.” He said the same words he always says to himself whenever he is going to the CEO office or whenever he is with him.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Thank you.” She said. It’s not that she was scared of the CEO, but she was just scared of the decision she was about to make.

They got out of the elevator and went towards a door. Jeff knocked on the door lightly and opened it when he heard him say, “Come in.”

He didn’t bother to look at who was behind the door, but he looked up when he heard his wolf growling. “Mate.” He saw her standing beside his assistant, looking all pretty.

“Ms. Loren is here to see you, sir.” Jeff said.
