My mate
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.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“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 all the new employees today, so get ready.” She touched her hand and smiled. “I will be right back, I have some documents to work on.”
Ellie also smiled back and sat down. Ever since she saw Sam yesterday, she couldn’t get her mind off him. “Could that girl be his new girlfriend?” She asked herself.

At the warren cooperation. In the CEO office.
“Do I really need to come to your company before you sign the deal?” Alex asked over the phone. He and Callum have a deal that needs Callum’s signature, but he has failed to sign it.
“I’ve told you that I’m not going to set foot in your company again, after what you said to me.” Callum said over the phone.
Alex was pissed, and wasn’t ready for his games. “Stop acting childish, Callum. Sign the papers and stop stressing me. I’ll send my assistant over.”
“Send him, and I’m still not going to sign it. Come here yourself, I have something to tell you. Hurry up, because I have a lot of things to do.” He hung up before Alex could say a word.
“That fucking nitwit.” He cursed out loud, hearing the call had ended. He turned to his assistant who was bowing his head. “Bring the car around. We’re going to Stewart cooperation.”
It was finally lunchtime. Ellie was still working on her computer when Christina came in. “Hey, it’s time for lunch, let’s go have some food.” She said, grabbing her hand out. She also did not say a word, she just tagged along.
They took their food and grabbed a seat. She looked to her right and saw him right there, sitting with the same girl she saw him with yesterday. She was hoping to see him again. In fact. That was the reason she followed Christina to the cafeteria, but she was already regretting her decision.
She ate her food in silence, looking at them once in a while, she noticed how they were acting lovey-dovey to each other, and some employees were also around them, but when she couldn’t take it anymore. “I’m sorry, I’m not feeling too well.” She said to Christina before she left the cafeteria in a hurry.
She ran to the washroom in a hurry. She couldn’t stop the tears coming out of her eyes. “Why can’t you just love me Sam? Why?! Why her? She cried, holding her chest as if she was in pain.
She cried for sometime till the tears finally stopped. She cleaned her face with water and left the washroom before anyone would find her there.
She came out of the washroom and saw her phone beeping. She did not know that someone was walking in her direction and just when she was about to pick up the call, they suddenly bumped into each other and her phone fell flat on the floor.
“Ouch.” She winced, and rubbed her forehead that had collided with the man’s chest. She was so angry, but the only thing she could think of was her phone’s screen that had broken.
She looked up at the person with anger, ready to lash out at the person, but gasped and froze for a second. Her heart thumping erratically like it was about to come out. “Oh my! How come he’s here?” She thought.

“Callum, you better wait in your office.” Alex said to Callum over the phone. Callum had told him to hurry up, or he would be leaving for lunch soon. He was angry that he didn’t looking at where he was going, but looked up when a girl bumped into him. At that instance, he felt a cold shiver in his body. “Mate,” His wolf said happily.
The girl who he had planned not to see ever again, the girl who would maybe bring him doom.
There she was, standing right there in his presence with her long black hair tied in a ponytail and her milky white shoulders. She was dressed in a brown blouse which fitted her perfectly, accentuating her curves, and a black skirt which was two inches above her knees, showing her long slender legs. He quickly recovered from his shock. “How can she be here?” He asked himself.
“What are you doing here?” Alex asked with a demanding tone, but before the girl could ask anything, a voice came from the back.
“You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting for you.” He said, only to receive a question from him.
“What is she doing here?” Alex asked Callum impatiently, while Ellie just stood there and wondered what kind of question he was asking.
“What do you mean by that?” Callum asked back, looking at him before he looked at the girl standing there like she was lost. He noticed an employee tag on the left side of her blouse. Ellie Loren, sales department. He looked back at Alex and asked. “Did she do something wrong?”
“Just follow me.” Alex said, not wanting to stay there again for another second. “Mate. Stay with her.” His wolf kept saying, but he didn’t listen.
Callum also followed him to the office, and he locked the door immediately. “What’s wrong with you? Did you get drunk early in the morning?” Callum asked, wondering why he was acting that way.
Alex did not say anything at first, he just sighed and looked at him, “She’s the one. That girl is my mate.” He said, while Callum just stood there in shock.
