THE NEW DESIGN

The next morning, Tinsely woke up as she yawned tiredly, and stretched out her limbs.

The ray of sunlight was infiltrating the room through the transparent white curtains, brightening every alcove of the room as her eyes journeyed around.

Suddenly she felt an ominous sensation, it was as if someone was spying on her and she quickly snapped her head towards the door.

The figure was gone!

Her heart skipped a beat, panicking, goosebumps started to rise chilly on her skin and she flickered out of the bed.

Rushing out of the room, she jogs down the stairs and arrives in the living room but she met no one.

Abruptly her ears perk up at the sound of running water in the kitchen.

“David? Could he be the one snooping on me?” She thought as she saunters towards the kitchen.

Therein, she saw the back view of a lady, standing in front of the sink rinsing her hands, her brown long hair roughly packed in a ponytail and she was still clothed in red lingerie.

Amelia.

Tinsley felt her chest rumble in anger on recalling last night's event, she knew Amelia was moaning loudly just for her to hear, she intently wanted to make her feel jealous.

“Oh! It's you!” Amelia exclaimed seeing Tinsely as she spun to face her.

Tinsely rolled her eyeballs annoyingly at her, and she folded her hands underneath her breasts.

“Oh come on Tinsely, you need to grow up and stop giving me those silly attitudes,” Amelia smirked.

“What's your headache, Amelia?” Tinsley flared up since she couldn't hold it back any longer.

“My headache is that you should get out of this house, Tinsely.” Amelia sneered. “David doesn't love you one bit, it is me that he loves and not you!”

Tinsley was furious at Amelia’s guts but she couldn't say anything to defend herself, Amelia was right when she said that David loves her more.

“If David loves as you have claimed then why hasn't he rejected me, huh?” Tinsely smirked, and she watch Amelia seeth in outrage.

“...David can never reject me because he knows he loves me and I am more useful to him, unlike you who is only useful to him in the bed!” She mocked.

Saying Amelia was maddened is an understatement because right now she was boiling in air rage, her hands were folded tightly, and her brown small eyes clouded over.

“I will make you pay for this Tinsely, I will make David reject you today as his mate!” Amelia snarled threateningly.

Tinsely widened her eyes in amusement, she was rubbed off by the woman’s desperation. For all know, Amelia rejected her mate, so she could be with David.

What a woman!

“Is that a threat, Amelia?” Tinsely pretended as if she was affected by Amelia’s threat.

Amelia grinned on seeing how Tinsely was afraid and she spoke to her confidently, “I'm just stating a fact, my dear.”

Tinsely feigns to be frightened as she places her hands on her chest, breathing intensely so Amelia will think she was unnerved.

Hence, she swiftly pivoted and faded out of the kitchen.

“If only she knew what I have in store for her,” Amelia smiled viciously as she remembered her evil plot.

Today will be your last day in David’s life, Tinsely.

“Bitch!” Tinsely cursed the moment she got to her room and she slammed the door close.

“Does she think I'm scared?” She chuckled as she hurried to the bathroom.

“I know she's just spouting empty threats as always,” she scoffed as she entered the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Tinsely was fully prepared as she got herself arrayed in a white jumpsuit coupled with 3inches black heels, and her black wavy hair drooped flawlessly on her shoulder.

Tinsley didn't apply any makeup, it was her mate’s order. There are a lot of things he warned her never to do, he was the one practically ruling over her life and she has no say over her life anymore.

Well, she only had to dress beautifully today because of the new design she will be unveiling at today’s board meeting.

No doubt, David and the board will approve it before launching. Her designs have never been rejected, and will never be rejected.

Walking out of the house confidently, Tinsley got to the parking lot and joined David in the car but she sat in the front seat as usual.

David prefers to occupy the back passenger seat with Amelia, and he is never bothered about how his mate will feel about his brush-off.

“Good morning!” Tinsely politely greeted him.

However, Alpha David didn't make a reply, he was callously silent as he got himself engrossed in his phone.

Tinsley felt embarrassed, she was now watching the mirror of the car and she saw Amelia smirking evilly at her —and something tells her this witch was up to something no good.

What could she be planning this time?

In less than forty seconds, the driver drove out of the yard and a smothering silence consume the air in the car all through the ride.

####

Minutes later, they arrived at the enormous and ineffable company building, ELITE EDIT.

The driver parked at the company parking lot.

“Alpha!” Taylor who was David’s Beta jogged out of the company and scooted towards him.

“Tylor?” Alpha David was surprised to see him, he thought Tylor was still in the pack.

“I know you're about to ask what I am doing here, it's because something occurred in the pack which needs your urgent attention,” Taylor said.

Alpha David hugely frowned at his words, something urgent? What could have happened in his pack while he was away?

Tinsley on the other hand was tensed on hearing the Beta’s report, even though her mate hasn't presented her as the pack luna, she was still worried about the safety of her people.

“Oliver, tell Tracy to prepare for the board meeting now!” David said to his driver.

Tracy is his secretary.

“Yes alpha!” Oliver hurriedly bowed and disappeared into the company building.

“Let's go!” David ordered and they all started to walk into the building.

Instead of Tinsely walking side by side with her mate, Amelia happens to have the privilege to herself as she clings onto David, interlocking fingers with him as they walked as a couple into the company.

“Luna!” Taylor whispers at Tinsley, greeting her.

“Taylor.” Tinsely simply accepts his greetings.

Even when David was cold to her, Taylor his Beta has always been kind to her. He even went as far as talking into David to always treat her nice, but David ends up shunning him.

They took the elevator and arrived at the office a few minutes later.

“Darling, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you but I have been secretly making a design for the company,” Amelia announced.

What!

When did Amelia start to make designs?

Even Alpha David was surprised and dumbstruck as he finally said to her, “Really? You made a design?”

“Yes, baby and I bet you gonna love it!” Amelia giggled excitedly.

Tinsley was shocked to the core, Amelia doesn't know how to design. Even when she went to fashion school for it, she was still considered an Amateur.

David pulls Amelia closer and kissed her sweetly right in front of everyone.

Tinsley felt her heart sting once more but she battled to appear unaffected, tears were brimming in the corner of her eyes but she snuffs them back.

“Boss!” Tracy called as she stepped into the office and bowed. “The meeting is ready, all the investors have arrived!”

“Good!” Alpha David sprang to his feet.

“Tinsely,” David called as if he was just noticing her for the first time. “Hope you brought what I asked you?”

“Y-yes!” Tinsley shuttered, trying to hide her emotions.

“Let's go, baby!” David signaled Amelia and they both strolled elegantly out of the office.

Tracy likewise left, leaving Tinsely and Taylor alone in the office.

Taylor spun to face Tinsely, “Hope you're fine?”

“Y-yeah, I am!” She fake a smile and turned to leave the office.

Taylor went after her until they got to the board meeting and everyone were seated.

David was sitting on the high chair meant for the CEO of the company, and a long table separated the investors into two rolls.

“Start Tracy!” David ordered.

Tracy greeted the board first, then started to talk about the recent poor profit and also Tinsley’s new design.

The board investors were overly exhilarated because they knew Tensely's designs were always incredible, and it will earn them a lot of profits and fame.

“Let us see the design, Tinsely,” One of the old men urged her, and they all waited eagerly.

Tinsley started to rummage through her bag but she couldn't find her sketchpad.

What!

“Where is it?” She panicked as she searched restlessly. “I remember I kept it in my bag last night!”

“Look at how foolish you look right now, woman!” David shouted, he was irate at her clumsiness.

Everyone was becoming impatient, and Amelia decides to use the opportunity to flaunt her design.

“While we wait for Tinsley’s design, I’d like to show mine,” she informed standing on her feet and she brought the sketch pad from her bag.

Hence, she raises it high for everyone to see for themselves and they were extremely astonished.

What an entrancing design!

So extraordinary...

“Are you fucking me right now? That's my design!” Tensely's eyes widened and everyone was startled.

“What do you mean, Tinsely?” Taylor asked her, he was confused.

“That is the exact design I was looking for, I made it myself I swear, she stole my design!” Tinsely cried.

“She's lying!” Amelia glared at her.

Everyone became dumbstruck, what was going on?
