The Alpha's human mate

"I know you've been working with this company for two years now. Don't you also want a higher position? I mean, I could give you the post of manager." The man said, smiling at her across the table.

"Yes, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I would appreciate that a lot, sir." Ellie, who was sitting opposite the man, replied in excitement.

"Yeah. This life is about give and take. Isn't it?" The man smiled.

"Give and take? I don't understand what you're saying, sir," she said, pretending not to understand what he was saying.

This is her stupid old boss, and she knows the man so well; he is a womanizer and a despicable person. He had sexually harassed a lot of his female workers, lying to them about giving them a higher position. He even have a wife and small kids.

"I understand. Let me come down to your level. I want us to, you know, start having sexual intercourse." The man stood up from his seat to whisper into her ear, but she didn't let him finish when she also stood up and slapped him hard across the face.

"Ow! You! How dare you raise your hand at your boss?" The man screamed. He never imagined she would slap him. The ladies he had been with in the past never dared to do that.

"Oh no. Does it hurt?" she asked with sarcasm.

"That's what you get for trying that rubbish with me; I should gouge out your eyes instead," she said, before poking his nose with her finger.

"Ellie Loren! You are fired! I don't want to see your face in this company again!" Mr. Parker screamed, rubbing his red cheek.

"No. I resigned even before you fired me. Don't have a nice day, Mr. Parker," she screamed back.

She walked out of his office and went back to her cubicle to pack her belongings. She could feel other staff members looking at her. "I'm finally free," she said, taking a deep breath and exhaling it out.

She could still feel their eyes on her, so she turned to a girl sitting opposite her. "The best thing is to resign before he fires you; do have a pleasant life." She smiled at the girl before leaving the company.

She looked at the building one last time before taking a cab home. On getting home, she noticed her door was open, and she recognized her bestie’s handiwork.

"Hey? Why are you back so early?" Jasmine asked; she was not expecting to see her come home so early. She thought of waiting for her until she leave to work the night shift.

"Crazy story: I got fired. No. I resigned from work." She said, smiling at her friend.

"What?! Why?!" Jasmine asked, waiting for an answer.

"Well. My crazy boss told me he wanted to have sex with me, so I slapped his face and also resigned right in his face." She replied, smiling at her friend, but Jasmine could only sigh. "I can't believe that shameless man. I wonder how his wife is coping with that kind of person." Jasmine shook her head before looking back at her friend. "Did you resign, or did he fire you?" She knew her friend was so pained about losing her job, and she was just trying to cover it up with her smile.

"Both," Ellie replied, looking at the floor, but Jasmine pulled her chin up to face her. "You know what? Let's just get all the sadness over with this night at the club. So this night is going to be a girl's night; call in other girls, get drunk, and hook up with guys.

"No. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm definitely not hooking up with any guy. I'd stay at home and enjoy my sleep." Ellie replied. She placed a pillow on her lap and started pressing her phone.

"I wasn't asking; we're going, and that's final, girl. You need to get the sadness out." Jasmine said with a smile, but Ellie did not reply. She knew she had no choice. "And because of that, I'll beg someone to take my shift tonight."

In a meeting room. They sat down in fear, looking at the man who was sitting in front of them. He wore a tight blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, showing off his toned stomach and muscles. With his nicely carved brows, he was looking at the man, who was presenting in fear.

Even with the air conditioner on, they were still sweating profusely.

"Is this the presentation you've come up with?" He asked, raising his voice a bit.

"I'm sorry, sir. I will go through it again." The man replied, shivering in fear.

"Go through it again?" He scoffed, making the man even more scared. Hearing his scoff, the other employees could not look up. They all bowed their heads, feeling pity for the man, knowing he was done for.

"You think I'm paying you just so you could make mistakes and tell me you want to go through it? You're fired." He stood up to leave the room.

"Sir, please don't fire me. I have a wife and kids at home who are depending on me. Please forgive me, sir." The man said in tears.

"Then you should have thought of them before bringing this stupid presentation." He said before walking out of the room, leaving the man on his knees. One thing about him was that he does not give second chances after any minor mistake.

He left the company and went home.

When he got home, he saw his friend already waiting for him.

"Dude, I've been waiting for you." Callum, a handsome werewolf friend to Alex and the CEO of Stewart Corporation, said, coming out of the living room.

"You could have just come to the company; why wait for me here?" He walked to the kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "You want some?" He asked, raising the glass to the man standing beside the kitchen door. He lives alone with no maids or helpers, just his drivers, who live in a place built for them.

"Nope, I'm good," Callum replied before putting on a smile, which Alex already knew the meaning of. "So, do you have any plans tonight?"

"I'm not following you to any club, Callum. Go on your own." He walked past him to the sitting room, but Callum just laughed. "Relax, guy. We are all looking for that pretty lady who will make your young master happy."

"Are you done? Now, leave my house." Alex shook his head. He knew he wouldn't stop spouting nonsense if he was still sitting with him. He stood up to go to his room.

"Hey, wait. Why are you acting this way? I'm doing all this just for you." Callum said with a sad voice.

"Get straight to the point," He replied, getting irritated by what his friend was saying.

"There will be a lot of new girls at the club; trust me, you might find your mate there."

"In the club?" He asked, raising his eyebrows. He knew it was more than that. The guy just wants to have fun. Get girls. Drink.

"Yes. You need to take a break from work sometimes. Your wolf needs a mate." Callum replied. He was about to add to his words when Alex caught him off. "Ok, fine, I get it. I'll follow you to the club."

He had had enough of him. He left his sight, while Callum was just smiling in his seat.
