Semua Bab The Secretary's Unexpected Mate : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Alicia's POV. With a timid smile curling up across my lips, I walked into Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical. It was my first day at work, and I barely knew anyone, but at least I was willing to make new friends. The moment I stepped into the company, I couldn't help but notice the fancy and expensive interior design. It made me feel a sense of warmth and joy. I headed for the elevator, and as soon as I got inside, I pressed the button for the floor I was going to. It felt nice knowing that I had been accepted into Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical. After what felt like forever, the elevator doors opened with a light chime. With my grip tightening around the strap of my bag, I walked into the bustling area. I had expected a warm welcome, but instead, I was met with intense stares that left me reeling back. Most of the staff members seated began to whisper and mumble among themselves at the sight of me. Others had sympathetic stares fixed on me, making it difficult for me to keep my balance. Wo

Alicia's POV. Standing before Mr. Brian, my heart raced rapidly with fear and uncertainty. My wolf, which had stirred, now remained calm, sensing that our mate was before us. He’s my second-chance mate? Why? This wasn’t what I was expecting. To become the mate of the president of Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical? It definitely wasn’t what I had planned for myself. My fingers clenched tightly as I stared at him. I didn’t want anything to do with anyone of higher status anymore. I was still new to Free City, and drawing attention wasn’t what I wanted or planned for. There was no doubt that I’d get myself into a deep mess if I accepted the fact that he was my second-chance mate and moved forward with him. According to the rumors, he was a thorn in everyone’s side and was also said to be responsible for his parents' deaths. Hanging out with someone like that isn’t just right. Besides, I had my daughter, Elisa, to keep safe. “Greetings, Mr. Brian. Is there anything I can get for you?” I ask

Alicia's POV. Locking up the doors, I headed out of the company. I was the only one left in the company, as everyone else had left. We had finished work for the day, and it was time to get some rest. I had more work to do because of Mr. Brian, which was why I had to finish this late. Grabbing my keys out of my bag, I walked over to my car, opened it, climbed into it, and turned on the engine. "Let's get going," I mumbled as I stepped on the accelerator, which propelled me back toward the house. Elisa wasn't home alone; she was too young for that. I had hired a nanny to take care of her while I wasn't at home and around her. Although I trusted my new nanny for Elisa, and she looked innocent too, I still didn't hesitate to install surveillance cameras at every corner of the house just to be sure that Elisa was really safe. Her safety was my priority. At this point, waiting even a second longer to know how she was really doing wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to see my little angel sm

Alicia's POV “No… no, I'll do everything possible not to mess things up,” I assured, shaking my head slightly as I tried to keep my composure. “I hope you do better than you have said. Now, leave my office,” he commanded. At this point, I would have stayed and continued apologizing, but it was clear he was still angry about the tampered document. I turned on my heels and dashed out of his office, closing the door behind me. The second I got out, I immediately noticed the eyes of others on me. They began to whisper, as always. They must have been scared of what Mr. Brian would do to me. Well, I don't blame them because I was scared too. With my head lowered, I made my way to my office. Once inside, I walked over to the chair and sat down behind my desk. I ran my fingers through my hair. Frustration seeping in, I bit my lower lip. I had to try my best to keep this secretary job, but Brian was clearly not a kind person to deal with. His words about sending me out of the company kep

Brian's POVAs I sat quietly in my office, I kept on recalling how Alicia looked when I found her sleeping in her office this morning. Her eyes were sulken, not to talk about how unkempt her hair was. Could it be that she didn't go back home last night? Did I push her into overworking herself?I shook my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my mind. I shouldn't care. She brought this upon herself. She had the chance to leave, but she chose to stay back.I turned to the documents on my desk. I tried focusing, but it was difficult to do so. Closing the files in frustration, I stood to my feet. I began pacing the office until a knock came at my door. I thought it was Alicia, so I acted all stern and tough.“Come in,” I demanded, expecting her calm demeanor before me. I was instantly disappointed when the door opened to my Beta, Nathan, who bowed his head to me.“What do you want?” I asked in a grumpy tone, seeing that he wasn't the one I was expecting in my office.He paused for a sec
