For an instance, Eric thought that Charlotte mentioned employee thing to pacify him, but the following day proved his assessment wrong.

'Where is my coffee? Why are you so slow?"


When he had to rush towards the coffee shop thrice a day, he understood her real motive behind it. She was serious about giving him a tough time.

'That's how you make a report? Do it again."

Bullying him like a strict boss all day long was Charlotte's newfound entertainment, she thoroughly enjoyed Alpha's aggravation.


At lunchtime, he invited her for a meal. She replied to him sternly.

'I don't eat with my employees."


As she didn't announce her relationship with Eric in the office, fellow employees gossiped about him.

'Madam's new secretary is so snooty, he asked her out for lunch."

'I wondered who selected him, there wasn't any vacancy for an assistant."

A jealous voice expressed his concern.

'Did you notice his eyes? He was looking at Madam with lewd eyes. Such a lecher."

The HR manager flicked her hair and sneered, glancing at him. Although Eric chose the corner table for his meal, his supernatural hearing live broadcasted their acrimony.

'Where is his CV? I couldn't find it in the record."

One employee even checked the office records to know more about this mysterious assistant.

'Let me free. I will show them who am I."

Wriggling impatiently against his control, Rick was growling indignantly.

'Enjoy it. This is your mate's gift."

Eric grumbled at Charlotte's provocation; she was deliberately pushing his limits.

'Madam is calling you."

A panicked workmate rushed to inform him.

'I am still hungry."

Rick cried out and glanced at the remaining half sandwich pitifully.

'Why this finance file is incomplete?"

Charlotte threw that file at the table before him.

'I was going to complete it after lunch."

'Bring you laptop here and compile all the details. Your break time cannot ruin my business."

Rick's whinning soon converted into joy as Charlotte sat on the couch beside him.

'Mate is hardworking."

Completion of that urgent matter until evening finally revealed Charlotte's intentions, she was trying to grab the important deal from a new client.

'This should work, Alpha. At least, we will be able to cover our loss."

She stretched her arms and yawned, time on the clock revived the emptiness of her stomach.

'Dinner?"

'Sure!"

Charlotte nodded and followed Alpha to the canteen. Workers of the night shift were shocked to see them together, tongues wagged at their weird coupling.

'Madam had locked her office's door for the whole evening. Something is fishy."

'Eww. Look at that man. He is like an uncle of our Madam."

Charlotte almost choked at her salad, Eric hurriedly offered her water.

'You and Uncle? I have crossed one century milestone this year, and they think you are older than I. Humans are funny."

Eric pouted at Charlotte's age claim.

'Then you should adopt me. I am a good boy."

She looked at him in disbelief for a while, then broke in to a fit of laughter.

'Seriously, Alpha? Well, I am already having a tough time as your mate, so there is no chance in Hell for such kind of thing.

But I love your wolf. You can turn some time for me."

They chatted happily for a while and went back together, several gazes followed them enviously.

..

'Our proposal is rejected? Why?"

After two days, this news of rejection blew out her mind.

'The Stanford group offered a ten percent discount on the actual price. Client sent back our deal with an apology."

It was a misfortune, as Charlotte had already booked contractors and material for construction, down payment for the land was also transferred to the owner.

'I have approved all the contracts after their initial agreement. This is insane."

Her gaze was at Eric, who was working in the adjacent office diligently. She ordered her worker,

'No one will discuss this deal in the office. If I heard any murmur about it, getting fired will be the lightest penalty."

Her threatening worked as a magic, the jabbering crowd was then hushed like a cemetery. Charlotte took a round in the office and then contacted her secret helper.

'I need all the information regarding the Stanford group until tomorrow. Can you do this for me?"

…

Angie's tough schedule bored Noah in just two days, he flew to New York to lend a helping hand in Eric's new job.

It was perceived as a shock that a secretary had a little tail for him, treating him like an owner. Charlotte left for a meeting in the afternoon alone, Rick was growling nonstop.

'I want to see my Luna."

Cherry on top, Beta Noah came with a breaking news in the evening, panting hard for air.

'Luna, she is…"

'What happened to little one?"

Eric's Alpha tone reverberated the whole workplace, those mere humans held their breaths at the authority of his voice.

'Luna is dating Allen Miller of the Miller group of industries. They were sighted in the parking lot of the restaurant ten minutes ago."

He showed the source of his news, a social media post, that was now a trending sensation on every business platform.

'Two love birds got together after six months of separation. Will Star Lockwood say ‘Yes' to Allen Miller's marriage proposal?"

Eric scrolled the news page desperately, pictures of their previous encounters were posted in ambiguous poses.

'This toothpick is dead!"

Suppressing his force shift, Eric drove towards the restaurant, countless scenarios of tearing that human apart flashed across his mind repeatedly.

…

'I think you didn't like my findings. Is there any mistake in it?"

After receiving the investigation report about the Stanford group, Charlotte planned to shoo him away, but Allen was persistent with his demand.

'You tell me, Star. I can do better."

Ignoring his narcissism and hearty dinner, she read the paper for fifteen times to clear her mind.

'How is it even possible?"

According to her, there were someone from Eric's enemies who interfered in the business and hindered in the deal, but this complete foreign company surprised her.

'Hello, Star!"

He waved his hand before her eyes, bringing her back to the real world.

'We deal in food business and winery, but trust me, I have enough money to finance your company.

Please don't hesitate to ask anything from me."

Charlotte smiled inwardly at his puny offer.

'Like I have only one branch in America."

She brought out that smile and adorned it on her face. Allen's eyes sparkled in admiration.

'Your smile is deadly. Did anyone tell you that you are an enchantress?"

His lust-filled gaze observed Charlotte's figure hungrily, she was looking gorgeous in a pink sleeveless evening gown.

Sensing his interest, Charlotte trailed her fingers on his neck and readjusted the spaghetti strips on her shoulders.

His eyes followed that flirtatious movements intently.

'Thank you for your help, President Miller. It's nice to see you again."

She slipped that jewelry box back towards him and got up to leave.

'Star!"

Allen knelt on one knee and proposed her a diamond ring.

'I just want to remind you that I am waiting for a positive response from you.

Will you marry me, Star?"

Witnessing that perfect scene while standing in the eager crowd, Alpha Eric heard a paparazzi photographer's mocking comment.

'President Allen will face another rejection tonight. Madam Star is clearly not interested in this disloyal man."

'Yes, his affair was on the front page in the last month's issue."

Amidst that news bulletin, Charlotte's husky tone boomed in the surrounding.

'Thank you so much for your offer. As I am currently searching for suitors, I will definitely consider you."
