The Alpha’s Human Mate

He never for once imagined that she could come to his office. “Please sit down,” he said with a smile.

He looked up and saw his assistant, who was still standing there like he was lost. “What are you still doing?” He asked sternly.

“I’m sorry.” Jeff said before rushing out of the room. He had never seen his boss smile at anyone like that before, let alone a lady. “Can a man who’s so ruthless smile at people? Could it be that she’s the Alpha’s mate?” He asked himself. Ever since he has been working with him, he has always known him as a ruthless alpha that could even snap his head off at any minute, so he was surprised when he saw him smiling at the girl.

“To what do I owe you this visit? Have you signed the papers?” He asked, looking at the documents that were with her.

“I have a complaint about the contract,” she said.

“Which is?” He asked, dropping the papers he was holding to focus on her.

“Why would you ask me not to see the child again after giving birth?” She asked, referring to the place that states that party B is not allowed to see the baby unless party A permits party B.

“Maybe because you don’t want the baby. You’ve been looking for means to get rid of it, so why do you suddenly want to be part of the baby’s life?” He asked. This was just to make the contract look real. He has no plans of letting her go, even after she gives birth.

“Yes, I may want to get rid of it, but that is because I don’t have any choice. But now that I’ve made the choice to keep it, I’m not allowed to see the baby without your permission.”

He sighed before saying, “Fine.” He opened his laptop and edited some things on it before printing the papers out. “I hope you’re satisfied.” He said, pointing the papers to her.

She went through the changes he made; she read it, and when she was finally satisfied, she signed it. “Can I get a pen?” She asked.

“Of course,” he replied, pointing a pen at her with a smile on his face. She sighed and signed the papers without thinking of anything again. “Good choice, Ellie.” He said, giving her a smile, which she found weird.

“You can start working by tomorrow, and as of the living, we can solve that tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll love what I’ve planned.” He said with a smile.

She wouldn’t deny the fact that she was feeling uncomfortable with his smile. He had never smiled at her before, not even when he saw her after the nightstand. “I don’t think I can start working tomorrow. I have to resign from my work tomorrow, and it could take a long time for all the processing.” She said.

“Then I’ll talk to your boss. Just resign today, and my driver will pick you up first thing tomorrow morning.” He said, staring deep into her eyes.

But…

“No buts. My driver will pick you up tomorrow morning, unless you want me to do it instead, Ellie.” He said with a wink.

She felt her stomach churn with the wink he gave her. “How dare he? Ellie, it’s all your fault; you should have thought of it one more time before you signed the contract.” She thought.

“I will do as you say, sir.” She said before standing up to leave, but stopped when he said. “And also, just call me Alex.”

She also looked back and nodded her head in agreement before leaving the office. She quickly went back to the Stewart coporation before time would run out. She had to resign that day, and she knew she would have to do it before the day would end.

She wanted to inform Christina about her resignation, but she didn’t know how to tell her.

She was in her cubicle, typing the letter, when Christina walked in. “Hey! I’ve been looking for you all morning.” Christina said, moving closer to her, she saw that she was busy typing something and was about to cover it when she entered. “What’s that?” She asked.

“It’s nothing.” Ellie said, trying to hide it from her, but Christina held her hand and looked at the computer’s screen.

“You’re resigning?” She asked, looking at the screen before looking back at her. “Why? Why are you resigning? And you couldn’t even tell me about it. I thought we were friends?” Christina kept asking the series of questions that were passing through her head.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Calm down, Christina. I wanted to tell you, but everything was just rushed, and I had to do this without telling you. I’m sorry.” Ellie said, apologizing to her with a worried expression.

“Rushed? We see each other every day.” She said,

“I’m sorry.” Ellie apologized again. She did not know what to say other than to keep apologizing to her. “Fine then. When are you leaving, and what are your plans?”

“Hmm, I got to work at Warren Corporation, and I’m leaving today.” She said with a sad expression. She wanted to explain things to her, but she was scared. All she wanted was to finish the deal with Alex and forget about it.

“Warren corporation? I can’t believe you, Ellie. I guess we were not really as friends as I thought we were.” She said before leaving her cubicle. Ellie tried to call her back, but she did not answer.

Ellie finished printing her resignation letter, and she submitted it to the HR department. She did not have any problem with them because Callum had told them to accept her resignation letter without her paying any dues.

She wanted to talk to Christina before leaving the company, but she couldn’t find her; she tried calling her number, but she didn’t pick up.

She sighed and left the company because she also didn’t want Sam to see her. She didn’t know how she was going to face him or how to explain things.

On the third floor, she was looking at her as she was leaving the company through the glass windows. She sighed before walking away.

She got home and took a clean bath before bouncing on her bed to sleep. She knew tomorrow was definitely going to be a new day for her; she would be leaving her apartment to go live with that weird man.

Working as his assistant even gave her chills. “Calm down, Ellie; tomorrow will solve itself.” She said this to herself before sleeping. A quote she likes saying to herself when she doesn’t want to think about a future outcome.
