The Alpha's Human Mate

8. my mate

The next day.

She went to work early. She got to her cubicle and saw Christina, who was already in the office. "Hey. How are you?" Christina greeted with a smile.

"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 the CEO wants to see all the new workers today." Christina whispered with a smile, but Ellie was just looking at her. She didn't understand how that was amusing.

"I also heard that he's so handsome just like his friend, the CEO of Warren Corporation." She continued, placing her hands on her cheeks and smiling dreamily.

"Hmm, OK," Ellie replied absentmindedly.

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 Corporation. In the CEO's office.

"Do I 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 I won't 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 because I have a lot of things to do." He hung up before Alex could say a word.

"That f*****g nitwit." He cursed out loud, hearing the hung up tone. He turned to his assistant in front of him. "Bring the car around. We're going to Stewart Corporation."

It was finally lunchtime. She was working on her computer when Christina came in. "Hey, it's time for lunch. Let's go have some food." She said, pulling her hand.

She also did not say a word. She just tagged along.

They got their food and sat down in an empty seat. Her gaze shifted to her right side like she was given a sign, and she saw him right there, sitting with the same girl she saw him with yesterday.

She had been hoping to see him again. In fact. That was the reason she followed Christina to the cafeteria, but she regretted her decision.

She ate her food in silence, looking at them once 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 without waiting for Christina, who was calling her name.

She ran to the washroom in a hurry, tears running down her cheeks. "Why can't you just love me, Sam? Why?! Why her? She cried, holding her chest as if she was in pain. It would like obsession to other people, but she couldn't control her heart. She had tried forgetting about him, but he was always there.

She cried for some time till she finally stopped. She cleaned her face with water and left the washroom before anyone would find her there. She had to control the emotions building up in her.

She stepped 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 bumped into each other, making her phone fell flat on the floor.

"Ouch." She groaned and rubbed her forehead, which had collided with the man's chest. Her blood boiled, seeing her broken phone.

She looked up at the person with anger, ready to lash out at the person, but gasped and froze for a second. Her heart thumped 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, or he would leave for lunch soon.

He was angry that he didn't look at where he was going until a girl bumped into him, or perhaps he bumped into her. He felt an icy shiver ran down his spine. "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 that fitted her perfectly, accentuating her curves and a black skirt which was 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?" He asked in 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." It was Callum.

"What is she doing here?" Alex asked Callum impatiently, while Ellie just stood there, wondering what kind of question he was asking.

"What do you mean by that?" Callum asked back, looking at him before his gaze went towards the lady 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.
