The Hidden Mate: The Alpha's Sweetheart

Five

Chapter 5

Where am I going? Well I'm going anywhere far from this hell of a place. I can't believe George is the boss! Why do I have to keep seeing his face, now all memories of yesterday won't stop screaming in my head.

"You don't have to leave so soon, you have an interview to attend." There was a hint of excitement in his voice, probably he was happy to see me again so he can end my life miserably.

"I don't want the interview any more. I'd rather beg on the street than to work for you." I said with so much audacity I had no idea where it came from.

"Well, you should have considered that before you walked in here." His lips played an offensive smirk. "Please, have a seat."

He gestured for me to seat down. I took my time analysing him, the smile on his face won't fade out. Slowly, I made my way to sit on the black leather chair opposite his desk.

"Well," he started. "According to you files, you seem to be a brilliant student back in college. I'll admit, I really do love your achievements so far. Welcome to my company." He smiled, mischievously.

I was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the way he keeps smiling at me. I don't know what those smile means, but I'll say, it isn't a good smile.

"You don't look like you're interested in this job." He said, leaning against the chair.

"I already told you, I'm not interested in this job anymore." I said as a matter of fact.

"Well, it's not like you have a choice. After all, you're hired." I glared at him in total confusion, speechless. He's joking, isn't he? He's trying to get to me at all cost, right? But I'll show him I ain't the weak girl he thinks I am. "You're hired as my secretary, and I'll make your payment bigger than my manager as a token of our previous friendship. What do you say about it?"

I kept staring at him in disbelief, unable to accept the fact that this offer was actually coming from his heart.

"Isn't cheating part of the rules of a business?" I questioned.

"I make the rules, sweetheart, I chose whatever I want to do. I decide whoever I want to favor and those I don't. So, I've decided to favor you, are you gonna turn down my offer and keep walking about the street, searching for jobs that can't afford your monthly salary in one year?"

That's a huge offer, but I know, there's got to be a backstory to why he's trying to help me. They say; nothing comes for nothing, I doubt this is an effect of charity.

I nodded my head in approval. "I accept the job."

"Good." A sly smile played on his lips, "You're hired then. Once again, welcome to my company, Mrs Stars." He stretched his arm for a handshake. I returned the handshake, a very disappointing feeling tingled from my palm, up to my hand then all over my body.

I won't say I ain't happy, of course I am. I really need this money more than any thing, not like it's for myself, it's the only way to pay up my mother's bills.

Poor me had thought George's new simplicity towards me would end up getting him to understand what and who I am, little did I know he was only keeping his hostility behind a friendly facade.

I was inputting the company's report in the system, trying my best to see there wasn't any mistake when the landmark rang. I picked it, answering the call. "I need you in my office." George said and I left all I was doing just to reach his office in time.

As soon as I got to his office, the door opened. Mrs Mills, the manger was just leaving his office. I had sweats on my head due to how urgent I had ran. I wiped my forehead with the back of my palm, trying to calm my heavy breath down.

I noticed how seriously he was looking at me, like he was waiting for me to be done with my drama before he starts talking. "It's a pity you're a wolf but have to live like a normal human. I can't believe you're sweating this much at such time of the morning."

This is the third time in two days he's talking to me about not being able to control my wolf. No one would ever want such a thing, it's not my fault either for being a weak omega, but that's some thing he just can't understand.

The first two times he called me into his office was to mock me, now he's called me here to do the same thing? If this keeps going on, then I'll have no choice but to resign whether we both like it or not.

"Well, that's by the way. I called you to give you this. This is the company's record for yesterday, don't forget to add them all in the system."

"Yes, sir." I took the files from him, heading for the door. I was expecting he'd say some thing to me but thankfully, he didn't.

On reaching my office, there were noises coming from one end of the floor. I stood to see what the problem was, a group of men about three of them where disrupting the peace of the company. Securities were behind them, ordering them to leave the company, but these men paid deaf ears to him.

"Some one call the boss."

"I'm on it." A lady said, picking her landmark to call George.

The men came face to face with me, "Miss Stars, you're coming with us." My eyes bulged open as I glared at the men before me. "Now!"

"And why should I?" I demanded. "On who's orders?"

"It doesn't matter who's order it is, you're coming with us."

"She's going nowhere." There was an instant silence as soon as his voice sounded. Slowly, I turned my head to meet George's cold gaze staring back at me.
