Alpha Kyle's Awakened Mate

Chapter 9

Elara's Point of View

"Please have a seat, Ms. Gray," Mr. Black said, and I sat across from him at his desk. "You can go now, Chris," Mr Black added, and Chris shut the door and left. Mr. Black and I were silent. All I could think about was what he had been doing with Ms. Day before I arrived. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got

"Are you okay?" Mr. Black asked suddenly

"Yes, I am fine," I lied

"Are you sure? You look like something is bothering you," Mr. Black asked

"Yes, I am sure. Let's go over the job details," I said. He looked at me for a moment before speaking

"Right," Mr. Black said, and then he put a document in front of me. It was a few pages long. "You will be hired as my personal assistant. This contract lasts for a year. I need you to sign it," Mr. Black said

"What does it say?" I asked

"It basically states that you will be my personal assistant. You will go with me to business meetings and do assistant duties like answering phones, scheduling appointments, and other normal duties," Mr Black said. I knew I should have read through the contract, but everything sounded fine, so I just signed the back of the document and handed it back to him.

"Welcome to the company," Mr. Black said as he got up from his seat.

"Thank you," I replied. He went over to a drawer and took out a box.

"Open this," Mr. Black said once he sat down at his desk and placed the box in front of me. I opened the box and was shocked at what I saw. There were two sets of keys. One I knew was a car key. There were also some more documents, as well as a credit card.

"This is the key to your new car and the house where you will be staying. The card is where your pay will go. There is already money on there for your living expenses. One thousand dollars is on there now."

"What? Did you say one hundred thousand dollars?" I asked shocked

"Yes, if that is not enough, I can give you more. I know you have a little sister to take care of. I will put another hundred thousand on as well."

"Are you crazy?" I asked. I couldn't believe what he was saying. Who gives that much money to a new employee?

"Is that not enough? I can add more. Also, this does not include your regular pay."

"It's way too much. Look, I accept the job, but I do not need that much money. You will be paying me triple the pay I was expecting. I don't need any more than that. Also, I decided not to move. My sister and I will be staying at our house," I said

"That is unacceptable. You have to move. It is in the contract that you signed," Mr. Black said. I was starting to think that I had made a huge mistake in taking the job. The way he was acting wasn't normal. I could tell he was upset that I didn't want to move or take his money.

"Look, Mr. Black. Don't take this personally or anything, but I think I made a mistake. I am not going to take the job," I said

"What do you mean? That is unacceptable."

"I am sorry..." I started to say, but he cut me off

"You already signed the contract. You have to keep this job unless you can pay the penalty for forfeiting," Mr. Black said

"What do you mean?" I asked confused

"There is a five hundred thousand dollar penalty if you quit or don't follow the contract. That means that you have to move into the house that I have provided, take the car, money, and follow the job," Mr. Black said

"What? That is crazy. You can't enforce that," I said

"I am Kyle Black. I can do whatever I want. Besides, who do you think a court would listen to even if you tried to fight it?" Mr. Black asked. I thought about it. Mr. Black was a Billionaire CEO. There was no doubt that anyone would take his side. "You know that you have no choice. I will give you today and tomorrow before coming to get you. I know you have to talk to your sister about this," Mr. Black said

"I can't believe you would do this," I yelled

"You are acting like this isn't a good thing. I saw the home that you live in. It is a wreck, and the car you drive is old and raggedy. The money I am giving you will help you buy better clothes because it is obvious that the clothes you are wearing are not worn out and definitely not the type of thing you would wear here," Mr. Black said. I couldn't take it anymore

"How dare you talk to me like I am beneath you?"

"That isn't what I was trying to say. I am just saying..."

"I know what you were saying. You feel like I am less than you because I do not have as much money as you do. Well, let me tell you something. Just because you have money doesn't mean that you can talk to me like I am nothing."

"I am not..."

"I am not one of those girls that you keep in your bed. Like Ms. Day," I said

"What are you talking about?"

"Just forget it. I am leaving," I yelled. I got up and walked toward the door. Before I could open the door, Mr. Black was in front of it.

"No, you can't just do that, Elara. What are you about? Why would you bring up Chloe Day?"

"Do you think I don't know what you were doing with her right before I got here? I am not like her."

"You don't know what you are talking about."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. I have to go tell my sister that we have to move," I said. I could feel tears about to fall from my eyes.

I was happy when he moved out of my way, and I left quickly. I needed to get away from him.
