I could not just believe him.
“Due to the fact that you are a student, it is necessary for us to arrange your schedule, Miss Berge. Join us tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning. I will determine the time for you. At the same time, you will be able to participate in a brief training session.”
“That would be best for me. Thank you, Miss Lily.”
“At any time. Have a good day. See you tomorrow.”
Following her statement, Lily hung up the phone. I was in a state of haze. The tone that that woman used struck me as being professional. It was a clear indication that I got the job!
What exactly was going on?
Did he believe what I said to him in his office today? Is he now able to release me from the misconception that he had about me?
I felt someone hugging me from behind.
“What are you thinking? How was your interview?”
It was Sara. I turned to her and replied,
“It didn’t go well. But…”
“But what? And why didn’t it go well? Did that manager ask any difficult questions?”
She inquired with a concerned expression on her face. I could see that she also wanted me to get this job.
“I got the job,” I mumbled in a hurry.
Immediately after her lips gaped open for a few a while, she embraced me.
“YES! I KNEW IT!” she exclaimed joyfully.
I gave her a hug in return. Those who were in the vicinity of us stared at us with a confused expression.
As she pulled away from the hug, she asked,
“What is your job? Even if it’s from the lower sector, don’t lose hope. I believe you are going to shine in the near future.”
I held her hand and replied, “I became the CEO’s assistant secretary.”
“YOU WHAT!!!”
Her scream burst out much louder than before.
I pressed my palm to cover her mouth.
“Calm down, Sara. People are watching us.”
She removed my hand from her mouth. “Who gives a damn? This should be a cause for celebration.
The job left me with a lot of questions. But Sara’s cheering was making me feel better.
I gave her a nod. “Okay, I am giving you and Nolan a treat today.”
“Hurray!”
“But where is Nolan?”
“He will be late today. He has some stuff to do. We will have him join us during our break.”
“Okay.”
After having a conversation with Sara, I walked to my class. We all have different schedules today.
On my way into the classroom, I changed into my regular clothing by using the restroom that was close to the classroom.
I attended my classes while trying to be attentive. But my mind kept thinking about Bryan Morrison.
Why was it that he had such a profound impact on me each time we met?
How could my wolf react like that in front of him?
After all the classes, I checked the time. It was fifteen minutes past one at noon.
In order to catch up with my buddies, I headed to the canteen.
I noticed Sara and Nolan seated at a table. Once they noticed me, they waved with their hands in my way.
I marched to them and took a seat beside them.
“Congratulations. I heard you got a job?” Nolan asked with a warm smile.
“That’s right. To add to that, I am grateful. However, I am not in the mood to feel anything at the moment.”
After giving each other a brief glance, Sara and Nolan switched their attention to me.
“Why?” Nolan asked.
I rubbed my forehead in distress.
“Today Alpha Bryan took my interview, and I left his office without his permission.”
All of my friends were taken aback. It was impossible for them to believe what they were hearing.
“That’s disrespectful!” Sara mumbled.
I lowered my head and nodded. “I know. At the moment, I was unable to come up with a more efficient way to deal with him.”
“Wait a minute. Why would you deal with him?” Nolan asked.
Putting my face on the table, I hid it by placing my elbows on it. I was baffled and unsure of how to respond.
I did not have someone to talk to about my suffering or my thoughts. What kind of life could a person lead if they kept grave secrets?
‘If I tell them about everything, will they judge me? But there is nothing to judge. It is not my fault; rather, it is the fault of my fate.’ I thought as so many things were running in my head.
Sara leaned in close to my head and placed her hand on my head before bending down. She said,
“Sophia?”
I raised my head and looked at Sara and Nolan. The expressions of curiosity could be seen in both of their eyes.
After taking a few deep breaths and sitting up, I then proceeded to say,
“Look, you both are aware of how my best friend cheated on me.” Following her, I began to have trust issues with both her and other people. On the other hand, after spending so many days with you two, I came to the conclusion that you are my closest friends and that you will never betray me. So I can share my secret with you.”
My statements appeared to fill them with amazement. With a smile on their faces, they gave a confident nod of their heads.
I felt relaxed and let out a lower tone.
“I am Alpha Bryan’s mate.”
Their eyes widened, and their smiles began to fade away.
Sara could not help but stutter.”Y-You are the Luna of this pack?”
“Luna?” I scoffed when I heard Sara.
They had not yet recovered from their state of shock. They could not believe that they were sitting with the mate of their head Alpha.It was a blessing from the perspective of the outer world. Regarding me, however, it was a nightmare.
Because of this mate bond, I was forced to endure a great deal of humiliation. My brother came dangerously close to losing his job. I had to live like this.”Sophia, are you telling us the truth? Are you his mate? Do you know how big it is? Oh my goodness! It’s hard for me to believe that he called off his engagement to his girlfriend because of you!” Sara said while shaking her head.
I felt embarrassed. It was true that because of me, he had to cancel it. I assumed that Mila’s parents might have been the ones who revoked their consent to this relationship.
“Hey! Why are you looking upset? I am not saying that he did something wrong. He did the right thing. Because of his mate, he rejected another woman. So kind of him to do that!” In a jovial tone, Sara expressed her thoughts.
Nolan frowned as if he was thinking about something. He glanced at me and asked,
“If he canceled that because of you, then why are you both trying to hide the bond in front of other people? Have you made any plans to disclose it at a later time, when all of the rumors around his engagement will have died down?”
