The Alpha’s Human Mate

“Meeting? But I thought I was not allowed to go to meetings yet.” She asked, following Jeff into the elevator.

Alex didn’t tell her about following him to meetings, so she was surprised to hear Jeff talking about a meeting.

“I also don’t know why Mr. Warren insisted on you coming to the meeting. He’s the boss, and nothing can be done.” Jeff answered, afterall, he was only doing what he was ordered to do.

Ellie also stopped talking after she heard what he said. She just followed him to the conference room quietly.

When they got there, she saw some people arranging some files on the table. Some were already sitting down around the long table, while others were just coming in.

She saw a chair at the other end of the table, which she guessed was the CEO’s chair, but she realized that he wasn’t on the seat.

“Ms. Loren, please can you get me a file from the CEO’s office? I didn’t know I had left it there, and it’s really important for the meeting.” Jeff pleaded. She didn’t want to go, but she could not say no to the man.

“It’s fine. I will get it for you.” She said to Jeff before leaving the room.

She took the elevator to the last floor. She was praying in her mind not to see him in his office, and she was happy when she got there and did not see him.

“If he’s not here, then where could he be?” She asked herself, looking around the big office. “Well, I should be happy I didn’t see his face this morning.” She smiled to herself before leaving the office.

“She’s the one.” She heard a lady say as soon as she came out of the elevator. Ellie recognized the lady as the person who told her she couldn’t see the CEO without an appointment when she first came to the company.

The lady was talking to another lady. They made it so obvious that they were talking about her, giggling and whispering to each other.

She walked forward without paying attention to them, but before she could walk away, she heard the other woman ask, “The new assistant?”

“Yes. I’m sure she must have used her body to get the position. Such a shameless woman.” The first woman answered. Both of them were talking loudly about her so that she could hear.

She wanted to answer them back, but she didn’t have the confidence. She felt that everything they were saying about her was right. She slept with the CEO, got a job without any application, and got a chauffeur who drove her in an expensive car. She felt the urge to cry, but she managed to hold everything in and entered the conference room.

She opened the door and saw that everyone was already settled. She walked to Jeff and gave him the file.

“Thank you, Ms. Loren,” Jeff said. Ellie was about to say something when the door opened, and Alex walked in.

The people who were already sitting stood up immediately and sat down after they saw that he was already sitting.

Jeff quickly dropped the file in front of him and moved to a corner of the room to have his seat. Ellie, who was also standing like she was lost, was about to follow Jeff when she heard, “Where are you going? Sit down.” He said, pointing towards a chair close to him.

She felt a cold sweat run out of her forehead. She looked at the people around her and saw different eyes staring at her, before looking back at the man.

She tried using eye contact to tell him to let her go and sit beside Jeff, but she didn’t know that was where the problem lied.

Alex did not want her to go and sit beside another guy; he preferred her sitting beside him to sitting with other people.

“We’re all waiting.” He said calmly and with a smile.

The other employees were all shocked to see their boss that way, but none of them could say a word. They kept wondering who the new lady was that could make the cold-hearted CEO talk so calmly and smile.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She sighed and sat down without looking at him or the other people in the room. “At this rate, I think I’m going to die of embarrassment.” She thought, and her mind drifted to the ladies who were talking badly about her.

Start! Alex said, turning towards the employees, who were looking as if they had seen a ghost.

A man immediately stood up and walked to the front of the room to start his presentation.

The meeting took about two hours before it finally ended. Ellie felt pain in her neck. It was stiff due to her not moving her body ever since the meeting started.

She stood up and followed Alex when she saw him leave the room. She knew that different kinds of news were already circulating in the company, and more would go around after the meeting.

She wanted to ask Alex and shout at him for trying to embarrass her, but she decided to just leave him because she knew that he wouldn’t listen.

They both entered the elevator to go back to their respective offices. She did not bother saying anything to him or looking toward his side.

Noticing this, Alex asked with a smile. “Is my little bunny angry at me?”

She felt her blood boil even from the way he kept calling her little bunny. But she managed to say, “No, I’m not.”

Just then, the elevator opened, and they both got out. “Then I’m glad. I’m sorry, I won’t be able to have lunch with you. I have something important to attend to,” he said.

She was happy to hear him say that he wasn’t going to be around. “OK.” She answered with a fake smile, to which Alex also smiled at her before leaving.

*****

In a big room filled with the stench of blood, you could hear screams from inside.

A man could be seen tied to a chair. He had been badly bruised to a pulp. Blood oozed out of his forehead and his big, injured left eye.

“Where is he?” A voice asked. He walked into the room and saw how badly he had been wounded.
