I was glancing over my phone when I suddenly received a text message from Alpha Steven.
"Hey, your mom said that you lock yourself in a room? Is it because Ace rejected your or there is more to that?"
I am really shy with Alpha Steven. He really seemed to care about me more than my mom.
"Thank you for the concern Alpha Steven. As of now, all I want to do is to be alone. There are so many things going on with my mind right now!"
He immediately replied to my text message. "Would you mind if I call? I am just really worried about you!"
Alpha Steven called me and I answered him immediately.
"Hey what's up?" he asked.
I forced myself to smile and speak with a loud voice. "Hey Alpha Steven! I cannot wait to work for you tomorrow. In spite of my lack of skills, you still want to become your assistant!"
"Don't mention it! I know that the good news you received in your special day is nothing compared to the bad news you got!"
I took a deep sigh before I responded. Now, I have come to realize that I need to open up my problems to Alpha Steven since he is more mature than me.
"I hope you don't say this to my mom or anyone else, but I was really shocked when I found out that she is having an affair with Conan— one of the most influential among the pack!"
"Yes I heard about him too. From what I have heard, he is a billionaire and yet he does not want to show it to everyone!"
"Alpha Steven, despite his wealth and his popularity, I don't want him for my mom. She deserves someone better than him!" I exclaimed.
"And what specific about him that you really hate?"
"I hate him at all. If my mom does not break up with him, then I will probably distance myself from her. I love my mom and I want her to stay away with that Alpha leader!"
"I am sorry but I think you are being too selfish for now, Sophia! Your father has died a long time ago so I think it would be better if you let her do what she wants with her life!"
I always listen to Steven whenever he gave a piece of advice before! As a matter of fact, he is like a second father to me. However, this time I turned a deaf ear with what he is saying. I mean what I say! I hate Conan for my mom and it won't change!"
"I feel like you are still shocked and are still in a state of adjusting. Or I think you are too affected with Ace rejecting you and you thought that you hated your mom's boyfriend. Let us wait for a while and let's see if you still feel the same after one week or more!"
Contrary to what Alpha Stevens claims, I know that I never vent over my frustration to Conan. I just simply hate him.
"Okay fine, I will talk to your mom and I'll do my best to persuade her not to disturb you!"
"Thank you again, Alpha Steven!"
"You're welcome! You should take your rest and prepare everything for tomorrow. Please wear formal attire because you will work in a very decent office!"
"What is the time of my duty?"
"You should be dressed at 7:30 in the morning!"
"I will take note of that Sir!"
I hang up the phone and I alarmed my phone at exact 6:30 a.m. One hour should be enough to prepare everything I need. In the midst of my sleep, a loud knock on the door wakes me up.
I was kind of irritated that I still don't want to wake up from my bed.
"Hey Sophia! It seems like you are having a good sleep. Are you sure you're in a good mood to start your duty?"
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Alpha Steven wearing a coat. He smiled at me and I was stunned for a while. I turned my gaze at his watch and saw that it's already 7:30 in the morning!
I covered my mouth in shock.
The smile on his face did not disappear. "Don't worry, I seriously understand that you had a bad day yesterday so I am fine with you being late!"
I gave him an apologetic grimace and I put the blame on my alarm clock. "I am sorry Alpha James! It's my alarm clock's fault! How long have you been here?"
He reiterated what he said, "it's okay not to be okay sometimes. Actually I just arrived five minutes ago. So, are you in the mood to work today?"
I answered with a lively voice. "Of course I do. Can you wait for 10 minutes? I will just take a bath and dress up!"
"Yes, you can! I shall wait on the sofa outside!"
I immediately closed the door and took a bath and dressed up. I typically spend almost one hour in a shower, but not this time!
Five minutes later, I came out of my room with my hair still wet and my coat still crumpled. I carried my handbag with flower designs. I dragged my feet towards the dining area and I saw Alpha Steven beside Conan and they were talking to each other. I turned my gaze at my mom who was sipping her coffee.
Conan was the first to discover my presence. He stood up and pulled a chair for me, trying to gain my attention!
"Sorry if we did not wake you up earlier!" he apologized.
I ignored his presence and locked my eyes at Alpha Steven.
"I am really sorry Alpha Steven, I think we should go now!" I said with a serious voice.
"Are you not going to eat?" Conan asked worriedly.
"Yes Honey! Conan cooked for your breakfast!" my mom said, smiling at me.
I gave my mom a long face. "I don't want to be late to my work so I won't eat my breakfast!""How about we packed your breakfast so you can eat on Conan's car?" asked Conan."I agreed! It's not good if you skip your breakfast. I can still wait for you to finish eating!" said Steven.I adamantly refused to eat. I'd rather starve myself than to taste any foods that Conan cooked. I don't even think they smell good either."Sorry Steven, but I am just fine without eating anything. I promise to eat a lot during lunch break!"Steven stood up and said goodbye to my mother. "We should be leaving now. I promise to take care of your daughter!"Conan put his hand on my shoulder. "If you are still upset that Alpha Ace rejected you, then I am willing to talk to him. What he did is against the Moon Goddess rules. He should know that he should accept his mate regardless of her rank!"This time, I raised an eyebrow to Conan and spoke rudely to him because I cannot hold my temper anymore. "Could you p
I played dumbed. "What are you talking about?""Sorry if you see the one who just rejected you in your birthday. You must be disheartened seeing them right now. I really don't have any idea that they would go to a restaurant like this. So, wanna sit somewhere else?""Why should we transfer to another place?" I asked."You might lose your appetite!""Don't worry about me! I can even eat at the comfort room in my bad days. I am doing just fine with this kind of awkward situation!"My phone suddenly vibrates and I immediately focused my attention when I saw Ace chat."Why are you stalking me? Have you remembered what happened last night in your birthday? I can't believe you still have the audacity to show up yourself after what happened. You're a very strange she-wolf who never knows when to give up!"I wanted to cry but I fought back my tears upon reading his message. I can't believe Ace would say such mean words to me. Right now, I feel that he no longer cherished our good relationship
Alpha Steven replied while focusing on his driving. "I know what they said does not change the fact that you still want him!""Yes I do!""Have you tried asking him to talk privately?""I did but I got a very different answer. I observed that Ace is not acting himself...""Don't stress yourself thinking about it. If they are intentionally doing this to hurt you, then I will step in and I won't hesitate to put them on their place!""Let us not bring such nonsense topics. I am so tired talking about them! By the way, what is my role as your assistant?""Running errands and accommodating guests are what I will most likely assign you to do. I know you're a little bit shy so I decided to raise your salary. But of course, are you fine with that?""Of course I do! Working for a famous Alpha like you is a dream come true for an Omega she-wolf like me. However, please try to be a little bit patient with me as I sometimes act stupid whenever a task is being given to me!""I am not like that! We
I am so speechless at this time. All I want is to disappear into thin air.Nickie tried her best to teach me how to do my work but I wasn't able to absorb a single thing she says. The moment she left, I desperately texted Ace to confirm if they are the ones coming to our company even though I know he would not likely respond because I ignored their recent messages."Hey, are you the one coming to Alpha James' company?""What are you talking about? Alpha James and I used to be friends before. I know he is the guy who ate with you at the restaurant earlier!""But why did you not inform him about it earlier or the other day?""Actually, Olivia is the one who decided to invest her money. When we saw him earlier, I told her that Alpha Steven has a corporation. Why are you with him, though?""I am his new assistant!" I replied."What the fuck? You are not even qualified to become an employee let alone become an assistant. You were not even able to actively go to the wolf-school and yet you
Alpha Steven looked at me. "Go ahead and wait inside my office!" he said in a commanding tone of voice.I went inside his office and I sat down for a while. As I roamed my eyes around the area, there was something inside that caught my attention. It was Alpha Steven's cute picture when he was still a kid.I stood up and went towards the picture hanging on the wall. But I accidentally bumped on the table and an envelope suddenly felt. I picked it up and out of curiosity, I opened it.I saw that he has a picture with a younger girl and her parents. My imagination is telling me that this girl looks like Olivia when she grows up. I looked at the other picture and saw that the mother of the girl is gone.As I am thinking, a voice from the outside has interrupted me."Hello? Are you there Sophia? Open the door!"I immediately put the pictures back on the envelope and bring it back to where it belong and then Nickie entered inside with piled of documents on her hand. I smiled at her and acte
"Are we going to take our lunch outside the office?" I asked him. "No... as you see, the restaurants are far from here so we don't have a choice but to eat our lunch at the cafeteria. Don't worry, I think Ace and Olivia will eat somewhere else!"I could really feel that Alpha Nick is unsure of what he is saying to me but I have no courage to speak to him about it because he was already mad. I don't want to be a burden to him so I need to act professionally. I smiled at him. "I will take note of that Alpha Steven!"He just winked at me and left me with Nickie who raised an eyebrow at me. "Do you have hidden feelings for Alpha Steven?"This time, I answered her back. "I should be the one asking you that question!"Nickie is putting on a brave face. "You've got some nerve to say that!""I just want to work, Nickie! Although keep in your mind that I am quick to love but slow to learn something. So you need to be a little patient with me. Tell me how to sign these documents so we can do
"Don't worry Alpha Steven, we are just having a nice chat and she was just shocked that you are not having lunch with us!""Is that so? Well, I guess, this is our lucky day! Anyway, I just want to give you a heads-up! Olivia and Ace will become the new boss and they will help our company expand. But the bad news is that "Alpha Steven looked at me in dismay, "she insists that you work under her!"I uttered no single complaint at all! For me, this is much better because I get the chance to see Ace every day if ever!""Okay sir, I have no problems with that!"Nickie stared at me as if she does not believe what I am saying. I ignored her intimidating look and we had our lunch together at the cafeteria silently until I got a text from Ace again. "Can we meet on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. sharp? I just want to talk to you personally!"I've got a bad feeling that it was not Ace who texted me but Olivia. I knew that Ace is not really into meeting up and he would rather drag my hand to some private
I knitted my forehead in confusion. "How did you know about it?""There's no need to explain, Sophia! I know that you still can't accept your stepfather for your mom and you'd rather walk alone than ride in his car. But, I am giving you another option and I will make sure that Olivia or other gossip mongers would never find out about this!"Ace is right about it, I have never wanted my stepfather to drive me home. He's not even a part of my life to begin with so I took the risk of letting Ace drive me home. "Okay fine, but I wanted you to park in a secluded area. Many eyes surround us so we need to be very careful!""What time is your out from work?""7:00 p.m.!""Okay, I promise to come there earlier and text me if you need anything!""I will take note of that!"I hang up my phone and smiled alone. I know that this is the best chance for me and Ace to talk privately.I went inside and smiled at Alpha Steven. "It seems like you received some good news?" Alpha Steven asked the moment
