Carsen's POV
I dismissed Darren's call when I noticed someone coming into my office. I looked and waited for the person to come out.
To my greatest surprise, it was my mate whom I had encountered earlier.
What could she be doing here after all the rude attitude she displayed earlier?
I cannot stop imagining how she spoke to me in a very rude tone. Not only that, she ordered me to pick up the papers on the ground.
As she came in, she acted as though she did not come to create issues while she demanded the presence of the CEO.
Only if she knew that I was the one she was looking for. I guess when she finds out, she will regret her earlier actions.
And from the look of things, she desperately needed the job to survive.
I made her know that I was the one she was seeking, but reluctantly, she refused to believe me. I should not waste my precious time proving a point to a mere human.
As she tried creating a big deal out of it, Logan, who was my secretary, came in at the right time and cleared her doubt.
As he came in, she did not even let him say a word to me. She started asking him if I was the CEO of the company.
The response was a huge heartache to her as her boiling reaction calmed down a little bit.
She was really shocked when she learned that she messed with the wrong guy.
I noticed one thing about her: she was not afraid to talk to me. Although she apologized for being rude, she went ahead to demand an apology from me.
That is one reason why I detest humans a lot. They never accept that they are wrong and would always look for a means to blackmail.
If I should give her money, I guess she would keep quiet and never talk about what happened between us again.
I know that I should not have pinned her to the wall in that way, but Rowan is really desperate to find his mate.
Unfortunately, this particular human was a stubborn type, and she needed to be taught a lesson and kept in her place.
I was not going to bring myself that low for a mere female human. I made it clear to her that she was going to get an apology from me only in her dreams.
She angrily stomped like a kangaroo out of my office.
I have noticed that she is a rude type and needs to be put in her place.
I decided to go through the documents that she had brought to know exactly where it was coming from.
After checking out the headline, I realized that it was coming from Mrs. Jade, a senior staff member in the organization.
I demanded her presence as soon as possible. The documents were too confidential to be given to a wayward human like the one she sent to me.
As she came into the office, I asked her about the documents and if she knew how important it was to the organization.
"I am so sorry about that, sir. I would have brought it to you by myself, but I was so occupied. I decided to give it to the new staff to see how competent she is. She kept explaining to defend herself.
I had to let her know that I would be doing some kind of adjustment for the young lady, as she had already explained to me that the rude girl was new to the company.
I would change her from where she was to make her pay for her silly attitude towards me.
As she was about to leave, I reminded her that my suit was still with the vendors and needed to be picked up today.
She was supposed to be the one to get them for me, but as I have seen a real scapegoat, she would be used as an example.
I asked Mrs. Jade to have her get the suit for me. She looked at me awkwardly, as if I had forgotten that she was new to the company.
Well, she should have tamed her tongue before applying for a job. I ordered her to deliver the message immediately, and she left.
Immediately, my phone started ringing, and it was Darren. Maybe due to the sudden holds in our call, he thought something was wrong somewhere.
He asked me if I was okay and if there was a problem.
I told him that everything was perfect because I was going to use someone as a scapegoat.
Anytime I told him that things were perfect, he always suspected that I had an ulterior motive.
Well, in this case, he is completely right. I was out to frustrate the living hell out of a stubborn human being.
She is going to know the reason why everyone should not be messed with.
As we were trying to discuss something more important, someone barged into my office without even knocking.
I saw the young rude fellow coming inside angrily. This remained the worst she could do, because more torment would still cross her part as far as I am concerned.
"Why would you send me to go get your clothes for you? Do I look like your personal servant or something?" She was furious but had no choice but to run the errand.
I made her know that she had no choice because it is all part of the job training, and I knew she would not be willing to lose her job so soon.
She walked out angrily, stomping her feet on the ground and promising me that she would get back to me.
I was already the one in charge, and she would continue to be my staff as long as she wants to keep living.
Jobs are really hard to find, and I am sure she would not want to lose the little she has to another person.
Carsen's POV This particular staff acts a bit differently. Her character is weird. Since she found out that I was a person she should not offend, she kept acting normal.I do not know the reason why she forgets that I am her CEO, and I have every single right to decide if she stays or not.There is something very interesting about her nonchalant attitude, and I would be the one to handle her issues.This workplace is going to be a living hell for her. First of all, she is going to pay for what Selene did to me.How could she give me a mere human as a mate? Knowing fully well that those creatures are weak and pathetic. Not only did she punish me with a human, but she also gave me a rude and arrogant one.In the sense that I can do nothing to change it, I cannot even question her; the lady would pay for it.I brought out my system to find out things about her and to know what was giving her the urge to disobey her CEO."Emily Martin! That is a perfect name for a slave," I said to my
Marcie's POV It was already getting late, and I was still outside waiting for the clothes vendor to arrive, even though he had told me he was on his way.I would not blame him for the delays; I would rather blame the person who sent me here to punish me for what he knows he is at fault for.I kept calling the vendor, and he gave me excuses and asked me to be patient.One thing I hated doing was going home late or being seen hanging around at night; besides, the country is not even too safe at night.After waiting for almost two hours, he finally arrived. As he saw the deadly look on my face, he started smiling from afar.All I did at the moment was ask myself who the hell he was smiling with, because I probably knew it was not me.He came up with a lot of excuses and apologies, but that was not my problem. All I needed was the clothes of my wicked boss.Immediately, he handed them over to me; I headed back to the office without saying goodbye to the vendor.I was just thinking of a b
Carsen's POV After she had brought the clothes that I asked her to bring, I noticed that it had taken her so long, and it was already late. As she acted angry, the only thing that came to my mind was how she would go home at that late hour.It was not new to anyone that the country was not safe at night. It was a general thing around the world because at night people who had the motive to commit crimes carried out their mission successfully without any trace. I asked her to come in so that I could figure out a way to send her home safely. As usual, she acted stubborn and refused to come in. The last thing I would do is force someone into my house because they could turn my good deeds into something else. I ignored her asking her to wait for me while I went in to drop off the clothes she had brought from my vendor and also grab my car key. I knew that she would not work out like that because she desperately needed a job for her survival.As I came out with my keys, s
Marcie's POV I stared at him for a while, then I bent down to pack up the files, which he forced me to cross-check. I was already getting really pissed due to his cruel attitude towards me.From the look of things, the files looked like something that had been kept for years. Some looked really old, some looked older, some looked new. My instinct kept telling me that the files were something that was given to him to work on for more than five consecutive years.He has been so lazy that he packed them up through the years. And now, seeing me as an arch enemy, he decides to frustrate me with them.Regardless of his attitude towards me, I would not give up. He felt that he was the CEO, and he had the right to pick on anyone that he chose, but I will be the one to clip his wings. As I packed up the papers, he looked at me, and I could see the joy of frustrating me in his face.He was so mean, pathetic, and an evil soul. I felt like plucking out his bold, cute eyes.The worst p
Carsen's POV It was almost past working hours after I had dismissed Emily Martin. I went ahead and packed up my things so that I could get home early. I felt stressed even though I didn't do much.Talking to Emily can be a bit of a strainShe was so stubborn and would argue about every single thing. But at least I tried stressing the hell out of her, and I knew that she would have me in mind for the rest of the day. While she was with me, I noticed that she had a whole lot of things to say to me, but she just decided to hold them back.At times, it is actually important to free up the mind by spilling out everything hidden there.I succeeded in making her angry throughout the day, and that was just the beginning of the frustration I am going to put her through.I hope she is aware that the worst is still going to come as long as she stays in my organization. I wanted to leave a bit early to take a break from human beings and to take a break from Emily and her suffo
Marcie's POV He insisted that I follow him to the next store as he wanted to pick up some other items, but I refused.How could he be treating me like a slave? I was willing to leave the job rather than follow him out again.We both kept arguing about it till my phone started ringing out. Sarah must have been waiting for me for so long. I had accepted going partying with her, and my boss wanted to ruin it all. I hate giving her false hope, only to disappoint her later..I picked up the call as he insisted that I take it in his presence and assured her that I was already on my way.Immediately after the call, I boldly told him that I was leaving and he could not do anything about it but let me go. As I moved on, I did not turn my back to avoid getting carried away by the looks on his face.I quickly got on a bus that would stop at the bus stop around my area. As I highlighted, I quickly rushed into my own apartment to get prepared. I already knew that Sarah had been wai
Carsen's POV Immediately after speaking to the guy who was disturbing Emily, I asked her to follow me out of the club.It was not safe for her anymore, and no matter how stubborn she behaved to me, I would not watch her get hurt. I always feel like I should be the only person to punish her or frustrate her. But no matter the feelings I have, I strongly believe that I am not in love with her, neither am I obsessed with her.Normally, she would refuse to follow me no matter what happened. We could have a brief argument before she agreed, but this time was different.I guess she was a bit scared and now uncomfortable with the environment. As we left the premises, I was not really sure about what was going on, because normally, a guy who disturbed a woman in that manner would not just let go.The way he reacted got me thinking, but I had to take it off my mind. Maybe he was intimidated by my stature and my abs. I was much bigger than him, and he would not want to disgrac
Marcie's POV I was a bit excited when I got home, but I was also worried and scared at the same time.Anytime it occurred to me that my CEO and I actually kissed each other, I developed goosebumps immediately.From our usual argument, we found ourselves kissing each other without any back and forth as usual. I sat in my sitting room confused as I remembered that he did not say a single word to me after dropping me in front of my house.But he was the person who made the first move, so why should he be angry at me, who did not start up anything? The question I kept asking myself all through the night was if I was going to get sacked.Why would I fall into such temptation with the Devil? He might decide to sack me in order to avoid seeing my face after making the mistake.Such a person with the little time I have spent with him would never accept that he is wrong in any way and would try his possible best to get rid of anything that made him uncomfortable.It got to some poi
Carsen's POVI was glad that everything had returned to normal, and she would no longer ask me any questions about what happened. That made the people at the mall tell her that I was not okay."I also want to remind you that we still have the dinner date to attend, and if you need any assistance with anything, you can let me know so that I can get help before that time. I do not want anything to ruin what I had planned for myself. Please, if there is anything you need, just let me know so I can use this opportunity to get it for you. As I said to you earlier, you are the one we are looking up to, and you should not fail us. The way you dress is the way they are going to respect us and so give us the offers that we want, and that was the reason why I had to go to the fashion house to pick the best quality clothes for you to put on," I said to Emily, as I did not want to talk about the whole mall stuff anymore. I was also trying to know if she was ready for the dinner, which I told her
Carsen's POV "Emily, I want you to listen to me, and I want you to understand that I am not hiding anything from you. There is nothing I am hiding from you, and you know everything about me. You even know where I live, so I do not think there is anything I should be hiding from you," I said to her as I opened up the door for her to come in."Then why did you have to come straight into your room without coming to know if I was okay, and why did you have to lock the door of your room if you were not trying to avoid getting into a conversation with me?" she asked me with all seriousness on her face. And I knew that she was going to be so mad at me, but then I had to come down and not get offended by anything that was happening because I had something to do."Actually, there is nothing there to hide from you. I only came in to rest as I was really tired after the whole ride. You know that we have somewhere to go this evening, and that is the reason why I just wanted to leave you to rest
Marcie's POV I gave him listening ears so that I could hear what he had to say and so that I could be able to know if he was telling me the truth or if he was trying to hide something from me. I was glad that I had already made it clear to him that if he was hiding anything from me, he was just putting me into trouble and risking our lives. "Just go ahead and tell me what exactly the issue is, because I really want to know why you will make such comments at the mall. If there is anything wrong, I think you should share it with someone so that you will be safe and so that you will get help from them if it is necessary," I said to him as I tried to persuade him to speak up about what exactly the issue was with him."I do not know why you are making a lot of issues out of this. The reason why I asked them to be fast was so that we could live more once I could perceive a fragment which I was allergic to, and I did not want to react to the smell of it. I do not see any reason why th
Marcie's POV As I and Sarah were still on the phone, I began to hear someone trying the door, and then I knew that he was definitely back home. I still had a mind to ask him how things went and to also be sure that he did not hurt the workers who came to do the whole makeup stuff for me."Sarah, I think he is back, and I have to go off right now. I will call you later, and we will talk at length because I want to explain some things about my whole journey with my father," I said to her after hearing someone opening the door."So you cannot have conversations with your friend anymore because he is around. You have to be very free and make yourself very flexible around him because he is not your God, and he should not dictate to you what to do at all. Well, I know that you actually want to go and meet the love of your life, and that is the reason why you are giving me a lot of silly excuses. I will be giving both of you space to do what you want to do. Have a nice day and take good
Marcie's POV"As he brought the fashion designers to the house, he left the three of us in my room, and then he went to his own room, but they mentioned something to me. They were referring to him as my husband, and then I did not complain because I knew that there was something really important that they wanted to say to me. They said that while they were at the mall, he began to persuade them to do it really fast because he was not safe there," I said to her, waiting to see what she had in mind and what she was thinking about it."Oh my goodness, that is really deep. What exactly is the issue, or was he being stalked at the mall? Do you think it is something really important because some people do not like crowds, and they feel insecure whenever they are in a crowd? I do not think it is something you should overthink, because it is actually the way some people behave when they are in crowded places like that. But nevertheless, you have to ask him to know if he is actually okay, and
Marcie's POVAs they left the suite, I sat in my room thinking of what could have actually been the issue and what he was really hiding from me, because it should have been something really serious.I decided to confront him when he returned, hoping he would tell me exactly what the issue was, because I did not want to put myself into what I was not aware of. He was so secretive, and I knew that if he was going through certain types of stuff, he would not be able to share his anxiety with people.This time around, I was ready to know what exactly the issue was and what exactly he was hiding, because I knew that there was something more to everything that was happening besides I had been having a sort of weird feeling ever since we came to the hotel to lodge, and I thought it was normal, but from what happened and what the workers in the fashion house told me, I knew that there was actually an issue, and it needed to be solved as soon as possible.It felt really strange to me, and the
Carsen's POVAs I got back to the hotel, I saw Stephen outside, and I was really angry because I knew that he would definitely say something that would make me so angry with him.I had to act as though I was in a hurry so that I would not have to stop and start responding to him, as I knew that he had nothing good to tell me; rather, he just told me words that would annoy me, and he constantly asked me about Emily, knowing fully well that I get angry when anyone talks about her. I just had to act as though I did not see him, and then he began to call me.I knew I would surely fall into his trap because he was so manipulative, and he would always act as though I and him were in good times."Hello, Mr. Carsen, Hello, Mr. Carsen, please wait; I want to speak to you about something," he said as he walked up to me. I did not want to respond to him, but then I was stopped by a staff member who was working there."Excuse me, sir, please. That man over there wants to speak to you. I do not th
Treasure's POVI left him to do what he wanted to do so that we could move on to what we had to do next, and then he continued. Besides, we were there for him, and we would give him all the quality time even though we had our stuff to do."Just go ahead and do whatever you want to do, but I bet you that you are all going to pay for this. Each and every one of you is going to be tied to a chair, and will get tortured the way I am getting tortured right now," the wolf who was used for the experiment interrupted Mr. Vaughn as he was about to start what he wanted to do."This is just something simple, and you will get freed. The simple question is just to tell us where your leaders are and where you guys are based, and then everything will be sorted out, and you will go freely with your life, but since you are not ready to talk, get ready to get tortured and get ready to die when the time comes, because you all are going to pay for everything you have been doing, and I bet you that when I
Treasure's POVWe began to take things in for the experiment while Mr. Vaughn was not seen around. I knew that he would have probably gone to wait for us to conclude whatever we had to do so that he could come and witness the experiment, and thus I did not bother myself at all. This time around, I had to supervise what my team was doing because I did not want any issues at all, and I did not want any complaints from Mr. Vaughn.His workers directed us on how we should do and where we would do the experiment, and I was really pleased with what I saw. The lab was so big and had a lot of equipment. I did not expect to see that in a private laboratory because I have never seen such in a government sector.I had to acknowledge the fact that he was doing a good job, and I also had to compliment his work because no one could tell that such was in that building and it could have such massive equipment, which I did not expect it to have.I supervised everything very well, and I made sure that
