"I know you've been working with this company for two years now. Don't you also want a higher position? I mean, I can give you the post of manager." The man said, smiling at her across the table.
"Yes, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I will appreciate that a lot, sir." Ellie, who was sitting opposite the man, replied and bowed her head in excitement. "Yeah. This life is about give and take. Isn't it?" The man said again, smiling at her. "Give and take? I don't really understand what you're saying, sir." she said, pretending not to understand what he was saying. This is her stupid old boss, and she knows the man so well; he is a womanizer and a despicable person. He had sexually harassed a lot of his female workers, lying to them about giving them a higher position. He even has a wife and small kids. "I see. Let me come down to your level. I want us to, you know, start having sexual intercourse." The man stood up from his seat to whisper into her ear, but she didn't let him finish when she also stood up and slapped him hard across the face. "ow! You! How dare you raise your hand at your boss?" The man screamed; he never thought she could slap him, because the ladies he has been with in the past never dared to do that to him. "Oh no. Does it hurt?" she asked sarcastically. "That's what you get for trying that rubbish with me; I should have gouged out your eyes instead," she said, poking his nose. "Ellie Loren! You are fired! I don't want to ever see your face in this company." Mr. Parker said, rubbing his red cheek. "No. I resigned even before you fired me. Don't have a nice day, Mr. Parker," she said, walking out of his office. She walked out of his office and went back to her cubicle to pack her belongings. She could feel other staff members looking at her. "I'm finally free," she said, taking a deep breath and exhaling it out. She could still feel their eyes on her, so she turned to a girl sitting opposite her. "The best thing is to resign before he fires you; do have a nice life." She smiled at the girl before leaving the company. She looked at the building one last time before taking a cab home. On getting home, she saw that her door was opened, and she knew that it was definitely her bestie. "Hey? Why are you back so early?" Jasmine asked; she was not expecting to see her come home so early. She thought of waiting for her until she went to work the night shift. "Crazy story: I got fired; no, I resigned from work." She said, smiling at her friend. What?! why?! Jasmine asked, looking at her, to say something. "Well. My crazy boss told me he wanted to have sex with me, so I slapped his face and also resigned right in his face." She replied, smiling at her friend in a weird way, but Jasmine could only sigh. "I can't believe that shameless man. I really wonder how his wife is coping with that kind of person." she said, shaking her head, before staring deep into her eyes to ask, "Did you really resign, or did he fire you?" She knew that her friend was so pained about losing her job, and she was just trying to cover it up with her smile. "Both," Ellie replied, looking at the floor, but Jasmine pulled her chin up to face her. "You know what? Let's just get all the sadness out this night at the club. So this night is going to be a girl's night; call in other girls, get drunk, and hook up with guys. "No. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm definitely not hooking up with any guy; I'll just stay at home and enjoy my sleep." Ellie replied, putting a pillow on her folded laps before taking her phone. "I wasn't asking; we're going, and that's final, girl; you need to get the sadness out. Jasmine said with a smile, but Ellie did not reply. She knew she has no choice. "And because of that, I'll beg someone to take my shift tonight." *** In a meeting room. They sat down in fear, looking at the man who was sitting in front of them. He wore a blue body hug shirt that was rolled up at the sleeves, revealing his athletic abs and muscles. With his nicely carved brows, he was looking at the man who was presenting in fear. Even with the air conditioner on, they were still sweating profusely. "Is this the presentation you've come up with?" He asked, raising his voice a bit. "I'm sorry, sir. I will go through it again." The man replied, shivering in fear. "Go through it again?" He asked with a sudden laugh that even scared the man. Hearing him laugh, the other employees could not even look up; they all bowed their heads, feeling pity for the man; they knew the man was done for. "You think I'm paying you just so you can make mistakes and tell me you want to go through it. You're fired." He said before standing up to leave. "Sir, please don't fire me. I have a wife and kids at home, who are depending on me. Please forgive me, sir." The man said it in tears. "Then you should have thought of them before bringing this stupid presentation." He said, before walking out of the room, leaving the man on his knees. One thing about him is that he doesn't give second chances after any little mistake. He left the company and went home. When he got home, he saw that his friend was already waiting for him. "Dude, I've been waiting for you." Callum, a handsome werewolf friend to Alex and the CEO of Stewart Cooperation, said, coming out of the living room. "You could have just come to the company; why wait for me here?" Alex said. He was moving to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of water from a jug. "You want some?" Alex asked, raising the jug to the man standing beside the kitchen counter. He lives alone without any maids or helpers, just his drivers, who live in a place built for them. "Nope, I'm good." He replied, before putting on a smile, which Alex already knew the meaning of. "So, do you have any plans tonight?" "I'm not following you to any club, Callum; you can go on your own." He said, walking to the sitting room, but Callum just laughed. "Relax, guy. We are all looking for that pretty lady who will make your young master happy." "Are you done? Now, leave my house." Alex shaked his head. He knew he wasn't going to stop spouting nonsense if he was still sitting with him. He stood up to go to his room. "Hey wait. Why are you acting this way? I'm doing all this just for you." Callum said with a sad voice. "Get straight to the point," Alex said. He was getting irritated by what Callum was saying. "There will be a lot of new girls in the club; trust me, you might find your mate there." "In the club?" He asked, raising his eyebrows. "Yes. You really need to start taking breaks from work all the time. Your wolf needs a mate." Callum replied. He was about to say another thing before Alex caught him off. "Ok, fine, I get it. I will follow you to the club." Alex said before leaving his sight, while Callum was just smiling in his seat.Ellie and her friends got ready for the club. Even though Ellie didn't want to go, her friends forced her, telling her they wouldn't allow her to stay home. She wore a slutty black body hug gown, which showed a small part of her upper breast. She was not interested in wearing the cloth, but she has no choice because Jasmine forced her to wear it. They went to one of the biggest clubs in the city. She and her friends entered and took their seats. The club was a bit loud and full of people that night; it's always like that every night, especially Fridays. Quinn, one of Ellie's friend stood up from their seats to go and get drinks, while the two other people sat and talked. "Don't think about anything. Just enjoy the night." Jasmine said followed by a wink, but Ellie just sighed. Not long after, Quinn came back with the drinks. "Why did you get so many drinks?" Ellie asked, looking at the loads of beers on the table. "If she didn't buy a lot, how will you drink your sorrow away?
Mature content. Read at your own risk. At the club. Callum saw Alex when he was taking a girl with him, but he did not see the girl's face, which got him curious about what had happened. "Why is he carrying a woman in princess style?" Did he finally find his mate? He questioned himself, knowing that it wasn't possible for him to associate with women. He wanted to go after him, but the lady with him had stopped him by sitting on his lap, and before he could push her away, Alex had already left. He opened the backseat door of his car and put the lady inside. He also entered the driver's seat and drove off. He looked through the rearview mirror and saw that the girl was squirming and talking in her sleep. He could tell that the girl was uncomfortable, but he kept driving until he finally stopped in front of a hotel. He got out of the car and went to the backseat. Looking at her for sometime, before moving towards her to carry her, but she suddenly opened her eyes. "Let go of me.
The next morning, the sun rays were reflected into the room. A man and a woman, naked under the sheets, could be seen sleeping. After some time, the sun's rays reflected on her face, and she opened her eyes at once, still lying on the bed with her back. She tried to stand up slowly but failed when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She touched her head, "Ha, my head hurts so bad; I must have gotten drunk last night." She groaned, before opening her eyes widely. "Wait a second! Where am I?!" She looked beside her and saw a man with black hair and a straight, long nose sleeping peacefully on the bed. She gulped a hard spit; she couldn't remember a thing. "How did I get here? Oh my goodness, Ellie, what have you done?" She asked herself, slapping her forehead lightly. She got up slowly from bed, took her clothes, and wore them in a hurry. She could feel soreness and pain underneath, but she managed to stand and tiptoe till she got to the door. She didn't know the man, and she knew
He got to the office only to see Callum, whom had been waiting for him since two hours ago. "Dude, I've been calling you since last night. Where the hell did you put your phone?" Callum said as soon as he saw him enter the room. "And also, who was the girl you took with you? Have you finally found your mate?" "Which question do you want me to answer first?" Alex asked, moving towards his chair. He sat down and opened a file on his table. "Why don't you start by telling me who you took with you last night? Who was the girl? Huh?" Callum asked, sitting on one of the chairs before him. But instead of answering him immediately, Alex sighed and looked at him. "My mate is human." Callum froze in shock. "Huh?! How's that possible? You finally found your mate, and you realize she's human?" He asked with the same surprised expression. "Shocking, right! Alex said, flipping the file before him. He didn't want to talk about it, but with Callum troubling him, he has no choice. "Is she pretty?
She stepped out of the room to go home. She kept wondering what kind of question the rude interviewer asked as she walked out of the company, which made her not concentrate that she almost bump into someone. "Sam! What are you doing here?!" She asked, smiling at him. She has been trying to talk to this guy, but he has been ignoring her calls. But there he was, smiling at her as if he hadn't been avoiding her. "I think I should be asking you that instead. I work here." He replied, smiling back at her. "So, what are you doing here?" "I came here for an interview; I applied here as a marketer." She replied. With a surprised expression, he asked, "You are here for an interview? Did you leave your previous job?" "Yeah, it's a long story. How about we go somewhere and talk about it?" She suggested, smiling at him. All she wanted was to talk to him. "Um... I'm sorry, I won't be able to do that. I'm so busy; how about we talk about this some other time?" "Hmm. Of course." She tried to
"Here it is." She pointed her phone toward her. Did I get the job? She asked, feeling a bit nervous. "Calm down; you just gave me your phone." Jasmine said, putting her hands on her chest to calm her down before checking her mail. After some minutes, Jasmine finally looked up at her and sighed. "Well." "What?! Did I not get the job?" Ellie asked, but seeing that her friend wasn't saying anything, She sighed and whispered sadly. "I can't believe I didn't get in." Then suddenly, Jasmine burst into laughter. "Oh my goodness, look at your face. Of course, you got the job." "What? I did?" She asked to be sure she heard it right. "Oh my goodness, I'm so happy." "You deserve it, girl." *** At exactly six a.m, Ellie woke up to the sound of the alarm. Sitting on her bed and rubbing her eyes, she looked around her messy apartment. She and Jasmine got it dirty by eating the pizza they ordered yesterday, and she couldn't clean up because it was already late. She sighed, stood up, and went to
The next day, Ellie went to work early. When she got to her cubicle, she saw Christina, who was already in the office. "Hey! How are you?" Christina asked. "I'm good. What's going on?" Ellie asked, noticing that she was smiling more than usual. "I thought you would never notice. I heard that the CEO wants to see all the new workers today." Christina whispered with a smile, but Ellie was just looking at her. "I also heard that he's so handsome, but not so handsome like his friend, the CEO of Warren Corporation." She continued, placing her hands on her cheeks and smiling in a dreamy way. "Hmm, OK." Ellie replied absentmindedly, she was lost in thought. Christina stopped talking at once. She looked at her and shook her shoulders. "Ellie, are you even listening to me..? What are you thinking about?" Ellie also looked at her, and shook her head. "It's nothing. What were you saying?" Christina shook her and said, "I wonder why you've been spacing out. I said that the CEO wants to see
"Wait, what! Your mate works for my company?! How come?" Callum asked, surprised, before saying. "I don't think I've seen her before. Maybe she's a newbie." "You think I care if she's working here or not?" Alex asked, getting annoyed every minute he looked at him. "I don't care where she works or what she does; what I care about is what that girl is." "I'm sorry. You're right, we should find out what that girl is." Callum said, getting scared that he might do something to him if he angered him more. "But the girl I saw is human; there's no way she could be a witch in disguise." "Oh really? So what else would be the perfect explanation for this? Hmm?" Alex asked. "I told you that girl is a witch; she must have used one of her spells to attract my wolf, and I'll make sure she pays for trying to mess with me." "Calm down, Alex; you don't have to take your anger out on me," Callum said with his pouted lips. But when he saw the glare Alex was giving him, he quickly apologized and said,
