Her Vampire Mate

CHAPTER 8

One more obligation? One more favor? Hell no.

I will not accept any more favor from President Gilbert. I can’t let my mom and dad down, who always taught me to work hard to achieve something. Don’t grab the piece of cake offered by others.

Samantha thought and recalled what her parents taught her and her brother Asher when they were young.

Though Samantha has very little time in her life with her parents, she still didn’t forget whatever they used to say when they were with Samantha.

Anyway, Samantha has nothing left with her as her parent’s memories other than one chain of her and the good things they taught, the memories of that lesser time when they were together.

Those are the only sweet memories of her 17 year’s long life.

Samantha was thinking about her parents and looked at their pictures saved on her pendant. And one teardrop fell from her left eye.

“No, I can’t let my parents’ teaching go in vain.”

Samantha mumbles to herself and took her phone in hand and going to dial Dylan’s number when her hand trembled and she stopped.

“Should I do this or not? No, Samantha, do this.”

Samantha was in dilemma and taking this herself.

All her life she was timid and couldn’t able you decide whether she can take a bold step.

The next moment, she decides.

“Although assistant Andrew said that, president Gilbert asked me to talk to him later after work, but I can’t hold my anxiety, even I can’t concentrate on the work until I will call him right away to ask him what is he up to?”

Samantha, for the first time, used her mobile phone and dialed President Gilbert’s number.

“Hello, President Gilbert Samantha here.”

“Yes, tell me, miss Samantha, do you have any problem?”

“Yes, I wanted to ask you, why are you doing so much favor to me, the enrollment form in a prestigious university can’t be for every employee, then why for me?”

“I am sorry, but I can’t take any more help from yours?”

Phew, Samantha is done with her longest sentence in getting President Gilbert.

“May I know why?”

Huh??

Samantha rendered dumbfounded in answer to her long sentence. He fired another question.

‘These rich people like President Gilbert aren’t used to answering to anybody, they only questioned others,’ Samantha thought.

“My parents taught me there is no free lunch in this world, so don’t grab every piece of cake offered by others.”

Samantha answered after thinking for a while.

“Then may I know why did you help me and saved my life. If every person who helped others has some ulterior motives, then what was your motive?”

Dylan Gilbert has experienced gaze. He knew Samantha was reluctant to take any help from him since the beginning.

But that’s why he was mentally prepared for her denial and was also ready with an answer to coax her.

Samantha was speechless at Dylan’s question. Obviously, she didn’t think that Dylan will connect her help of saving his life from his help.

“Answer me, miss Samantha.”

Dylan knew she is speechless that’s why he called her again.

“How could I let anybody die in front of me? I was trying you save somebody’s life.”

“I am trying to save a life by making someone educated. To help someone in getting educated and achieve their life’s goal is equal to save a life. It’s a good deed. Isn’t it?”

‘Hmm, President Gilbert is right, did I react over?’

“Yes.”

“That’s good, that you understood. Now do your work. Right now, I am out of the company for an important meeting. See me when I will go back to the branch office. I will hand up first?”

Dylan complete his words and hung up the call.

“President Gilbert is not staying either, but he has already spent so much money on me. How can I let him do more it’s his hard-working earnings? Hmm, I will ask that it’s good that he is helping me in enrollment in university but I will pay my fees by myself.”

“Yes, that’s better.”

Samantha decided and get back to her work.

She was busy with her work since long that she didn’t realize its lunchtime. Also, she is new to the officer, that’s why she knows nothing about the canteen, lunchtime or anything. In fact, she is only 17 years old, and this is her first-ever experience outside the packhouse and working in any company.

Although she was hungry timing Samantha didn’t dare to even get up from her chair let alone go out and see what she can get this eat. working

“Knock, knock, knock.”

A young, beautiful girl in her mid-twenties wearing a proper business suit entered Samantha’s cabin.

Samantha hurriedly stood up, seeing her.

“Hey, Samantha Lockwood, right?”

“Y..... Yes.”

“Hi, I am Sherlyn Matthews, I am President Gilbert’s secretary from the marketing department.”

Sherlyn forward her hand and Samantha hesitantly shook her hand.

“I know it’s your first day, but when you didn’t come for lunch, I thought to see. Let’s go for lunch.”

‘Wow, she came to look for me, the first time I have seen such a pleasant person in my life. New Orleans is a fantastic place then Ketchikan.’

“Sherlyn, it’s so nice of you you came to look for me for lunch.”

Samantha said happily.

“Alright, then let’s go.”

Samantha and Sherlyn were moving towards the elevator when William came from the opposite.

William looked at Sherlyn and whistled.

“Hey, miss Sherlyn. You look beautiful.”

“Thanks, master William.”

Sherlyn said with a blush.

Samantha noticed everything and shook her head in disdain.

William then shifts his gaze towards Samantha. He brushed his glare on her from top to bottom and said with a sneer.

“Miss Sherlyn, why do you want you to roam with ugly lizards in office.”

“What lizard?”

Sherlyn scared and looked around.

“Here it.......”

William moved his hands towards Samantha but stopped, seeing her enormous eyes popping out in warning glare.

“Cough, cough, cough.” William coughed.

“Ha, ha, ha, I was just joking, miss Sherlyn.”

“Oh, William, you are so naughty.”

Sherlyn lifts her hand and so was William, then both were about of clapped their hands when Samantha coughed

“Cough, cough, cough.”

They both stopped and looked at Samantha awkwardly.

“Surely, I am starving. Let’s go for lunch?”

“Sure.”

Both the ladies entered the elevator and for was closed.

“Hmm, canteen. Miss ugly lizard, let’s have some fun.”

William mumbles and moved towards the second floor, employees canteen of Gilbert industries.

Samantha’s eyes seeing a huge canteen with lots of food stalls and everybody was picking their food. She has seen such scenes only in movies or TV shows off her packhouse when other werewolves were watching, otherwise, she could not watch television.

The next moment she has another concern.

“Sherlyn, everything must be very costly here. I don’t have so much money?”

Of course, she has a few thousand dollars, but she has this survival for her daily bread and butter until she will get her first salary. Also, it’s her heard savings, she can’t waste all the money just for one meal.

“Samantha, you are so cute. Here everything is free for employees.”

“What, really?”

Samantha asked in disbelieve. She couldn’t imagine her life could become so easy after leaving her old packhouse and old life.

“Yes.”

Sherlyn saw Samantha’s thrilled face. She also smiled.

“President Gilbert is so lenient, he is offering so many facilities to his employees.”

Sherlyn nods her head.

“Although President Gilbert is lenient, the company canteen is a protocol of energy small to the large-scale company in North America. This is nothing new.”

Samantha was again surprised. She couldn’t believe that there are company’s in entire North America that offer free lunch to their employees, and she didn’t even get this at one time proper meal in her packhouse.

“Really, I never knew,” Samantha said.

Definitely, she wouldn’t know after all she was living in an entirely different world till now, now she is much more excited to see this alternative world.

Outside her old packhouse where she has seen nothing other than abuse, beatings, and working like a dog.

“You are really, so sweet, I guess it’s your first job.”

Sherlyn asked and have her one plate, some moving towards the food counter to fetch the food they want to eat.

Samantha only nods her head, looking towards did counters stuffed with various dishes.

A line of ogling appeared in her eyes.

Sherlyn saw her gaze and shook her head.

She liked this girl who must be around 8 to 9 years younger than her

Although she knew nothing about her and doesn’t even come to look for her by herself, in fact, she is doing evening on President Gilbert’s order.

At first, Sherlyn thought she must be someone special who is favored by President Gilbert, and taking care of her will be favorable to her, too.

But now, after seeing her timid behavior, pure eyes, and innocent questions, she liked her.

They both talk randomly and picked their food.

“Let’s go there.”

Sherlyn points towards one table.

“Sherlyn, let me bring some soup. Would you like this take?” Samantha asked.

“No, I don’t want, you to carry on.”

Sherlyn said carelessly and started eating her food.

Samantha walked towards a corner and filled some soup with her.

She was going back to her table when William entered the canteen, different than did in their hand while offering him various dishes.

“I will only have coffee.”

Although the canteen’s food hygienic, delicious, and good in quality, but William had a high-class taste. After all, he is the son of President Gilbert how could he sit those lowly employees and ready his lunch. It’s only fun to flirt with some employee that took some time.

William get rid of them and took a mug of coffee, but they all again surrounded him to offer their seat.

William ignored everybody, swept his gaze to the entire canteen, and finally caught the only girl in a dress in this formal suit office, walking towards a table.

Samantha was walking towards the table where Sherlyn was sitting.

William walked behind her and stood very near his back.

“Hey miss Sherlyn.”

William lifts his hand and poured the entire coffee at Samantha’s back.

Sudden attack startled Samantha, turned around, and strike from William’s chest making her soup fall on William’s customized hand-made expensive suit and soup break fall on his hand signed Air Jordans shoes.
