The Alpha’s Human Mate

“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 shower.

After coming out of the shower, she dried her body and wore a white blouse with a black skirt and heels. She applied light makeup and looked in the mirror. “I’m ready.” She said, smiling.

She rushed into the kitchen and made herself an omelet and coffee, which she ate with bread

She quickly ran out of her apartment, knowing that she was almost late. She took a taxi to the company. She entered the company and asked for directions to the sales department.

She reached her department, and headed to the manager’s office. She knocked at the door. “Come in.” A voice sounded from inside. She went inside and saw a middle-aged man busily typing on his laptop. He looked up and asked with a smile on his face. How may I help you, Ms….

“I received an email saying that I’d passed the interview and should report to work today.”

“Oh, I see. What’s your name?” He asked, looking for a file on his table.

“Ellie Loren.” She answered. After some time, the man looked up at her and said, “Welcome to Stewart Cooperation, Ms. Loren. Come with me; I will show you your colleagues.” He shook her hand and directed her outside.

After she was introduced to the other employees, she was shown her cubicle, where everything she would need was already set up for her. She sat down and switched on the computer. She looked back, sensing someone was at her back, only to see a familiar figure

“Christina! How are you?” She said, smiling at the girl. She stretched her hand towards her for a handshake, but the girl pulls her into her arms.

“Oh, my goodness. I’m so happy we got employed together.” She said, screaming in happiness, causing the other people in the room to look at them. Seeing what they’ve done, Ellie pulled away and apologized to the people looking at them. “Okay, let’s sit and talk before we get fired on our first day.” Ellie whispered to her, while Christina only smiled.

They talked for some time and got along easily. They became friends in no time; they chatted about many things and realized that they shared many interests. “It’s lunchtime. Do you want to grab some lunch at the cafeteria?” Christina asked after what seemed like forever.

“Sure, let’s go; I’m starving already.” She said, rubbing her stomach. They both laughed and headed towards the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, she looked around, hoping she would see Sam, but she didn’t.

“Are you looking for someone?” Christina asked, noticing how she was spacing out.

“No, I’m not looking for anyone.” She answered.

“Ok.” Christina replied before she suddenly burst out. “Look at those guys over there. They’ve been looking at this side since. I think the one on the left side is into you.” Christina said, giggling at her. Ellie also looked at them and saw the guy smile at her, but she looked away from him without putting on any emotion.

“What? Don’t you like him?” Christina asked. “I’m not just ready for that; let’s focus on our work first, okay?” Ellie replied.

“Yeah, sure.” They ate and talked about things until they all went to their respective jobs.

After work, Ellie and Christina were about to go home when Christina remembered she had forgotten something. Ellie had to wait for her on the first floor. She stood there for some minutes before she noticed the guy she had been looking for. It was Sam, and there he was, walking hand in hand with a woman.

Sam! Ellie called out, but he didn’t turn back. She walked closer to them and called him again. This time, he looked back. “Hey, Ellie, how’re you?”He said, smiling like he doesn’t understand what he was doing.

Before Ellie could reply him, the girl beside him asked. “Babe, who’s this?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. She’s Ellie, my childhood friend.” He introduced her, but he didn’t introduce Ellie to his fling. “I guess I’ll see you later, Ellie. He said, leaving her standing dumbfounded. She felt like crying, but held herself when she saw Christina coming towards her.

“Are you okay?” Christina asked, noticing her sullen face. “It’s nothing; let’s just go.”From NôvelDrama.Org.
