"I know you've been working with this company for two years now. Don't you also want a higher position? I mean, I can give you the post of manager." The man said, smiling at her across the table.

"Yes, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I will appreciate that a lot, sir." Ellie, who was sitting opposite the man, replied and bowed her head in excitement.

"Yeah. This life is about give and take. Isn't it?" The man said again, smiling at her.

"Give and take? I don't really understand what you're saying, sir." she said, pretending not to understand what he was saying.

This is her stupid old boss, and she knows the man so well; he is a womanizer and a despicable person. He had sexually harassed a lot of his female workers, lying to them about giving them a higher position. He even has a wife and small kids.

"I see. Let me come down to your level. I want us to, you know, start having sexual intercourse." The man stood up from his seat to whisper into her ear, but she didn't let him finish when she also stood up and slapped him hard across the face.

"ow! You! How dare you raise your hand at your boss?" The man screamed; he never thought she could slap him, because the ladies he has been with in the past never dared to do that to him.

"Oh no. Does it hurt?" she asked sarcastically. "That's what you get for trying that rubbish with me; I should have gouged out your eyes instead," she said, poking his nose.

"Ellie Loren! You are fired! I don't want to ever see your face in this company." Mr. Parker said, rubbing his red cheek.

"No. I resigned even before you fired me. Don't have a nice day, Mr. Parker," she said, walking out of his office.

She walked out of his office and went back to her cubicle to pack her belongings. She could feel other staff members looking at her. "I'm finally free," she said, taking a deep breath and exhaling it out.

She could still feel their eyes on her, so she turned to a girl sitting opposite her. "The best thing is to resign before he fires you; do have a nice life." She smiled at the girl before leaving the company.

She looked at the building one last time before taking a cab home. On getting home, she saw that her door was opened, and she knew that it was definitely her bestie.

"Hey? Why are you back so early?" Jasmine asked; she was not expecting to see her come home so early. She thought of waiting for her until she went to work the night shift.

"Crazy story: I got fired; no, I resigned from work." She said, smiling at her friend.

What?! why?! Jasmine asked, looking at her, to say something.

"Well. My crazy boss told me he wanted to have sex with me, so I slapped his face and also resigned right in his face." She replied, smiling at her friend in a weird way, but Jasmine could only sigh. "I can't believe that shameless man. I really wonder how his wife is coping with that kind of person." she said, shaking her head, before staring deep into her eyes to ask, "Did you really resign, or did he fire you?" She knew that her friend was so pained about losing her job, and she was just trying to cover it up with her smile.

"Both," Ellie replied, looking at the floor, but Jasmine pulled her chin up to face her. "You know what? Let's just get all the sadness out this night at the club. So this night is going to be a girl's night; call in other girls, get drunk, and hook up with guys.

"No. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm definitely not hooking up with any guy; I'll just stay at home and enjoy my sleep." Ellie replied, putting a pillow on her folded laps before taking her phone.

"I wasn't asking; we're going, and that's final, girl; you need to get the sadness out. Jasmine said with a smile, but Ellie did not reply. She knew she has no choice. "And because of that, I'll beg someone to take my shift tonight."

***

In a meeting room. They sat down in fear, looking at the man who was sitting in front of them. He wore a blue body hug shirt that was rolled up at the sleeves, revealing his athletic abs and muscles. With his nicely carved brows, he was looking at the man who was presenting in fear.

Even with the air conditioner on, they were still sweating profusely.

"Is this the presentation you've come up with?" He asked, raising his voice a bit.

"I'm sorry, sir. I will go through it again." The man replied, shivering in fear.

"Go through it again?" He asked with a sudden laugh that even scared the man. Hearing him laugh, the other employees could not even look up; they all bowed their heads, feeling pity for the man; they knew the man was done for.

"You think I'm paying you just so you can make mistakes and tell me you want to go through it. You're fired." He said before standing up to leave.

"Sir, please don't fire me. I have a wife and kids at home, who are depending on me. Please forgive me, sir." The man said in tears.

"Then you should have thought of them before bringing this stupid presentation." He said, before walking out of the room, leaving the man on his knees. One thing about him is that he doesn't give second chances after any little mistake.

He left the company and went home.

When he got home, he saw that his friend was already waiting for him. "Dude, I've been waiting for you." Callum, a handsome werewolf friend to Alex and the CEO of Stewart Cooperation, said, coming out of the living room.

"You could have just come to the company; why wait for me here?" Alex said. He was moving to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of water from a jug. "You want some?" Alex asked, raising the jug to the man standing beside the kitchen counter. He lives alone without any maids or helpers, just his drivers, who live in a place built for them.

"Nope, I'm good." He replied, before putting on a smile, which Alex already knew the meaning of. "So, do you have any plans tonight?"

"I'm not following you to any club, Callum; you can go on your own." He said, walking to the sitting room, but Callum just laughed. "Relax, guy. We are all looking for that pretty lady who will make your young master happy."

"Are you done? Now, leave my house." Alex shaked his head. He knew he wasn't going to stop spouting nonsense if he was still sitting with him. He stood up to go to his room.

"Hey wait. Why are you acting this way? I'm doing all this just for you." Callum said with a sad voice.

"Get straight to the point," Alex said. He was getting irritated by what Callum was saying.

"There will be a lot of new girls in the club; trust me, you might find your mate there."

"In the club?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes. You really need to start taking breaks from work all the time. Your wolf needs a mate." Callum replied.

He was about to say another thing before Alex caught him off. "Ok, fine, I get it. I will follow you to the club." Alex said before leaving his sight, while Callum was just smiling in his seat.
