HER PERSONAL ASSISTANT

Chapter 1

"You are fired Ms. Jones. You may clear your desk and leave today itself."
"But Ma'am I'm in a desperate need of this job. I have to earn for the family.."

"It is a high point Ms. Jones. I cannot keep on giving you chances and hinder the Company's growth. I have already done that for a very long time now. Today's deal with Mr. Black wasn't done because you didn't bring the file I had told you to. This is peak of irresponsibility and I can't and won't be tolerating this. Now I don't want a word and please take your leave."

She sighed softly before leaving my office. Now I will have to face a whole day of the boring interviews with even people who aren't qualified enough which to be honest pisses me off.

Ray's POV

"You are fired Mr Atkins. This kind of behaviour is totally not accepted in the company and I would suggest you to take your leave as soon as possible. You have made it nearly impossible for us to crack the deal. "

"But Sir, I haven't been given a chance to explain myself. I.."

But  no the damn idiot decided to interrupt me right when I was going to tell him the truth.
"Mr Atkins... I suggest you leave and please don't show your face in this office again."

"Oh trust me I won't. You say it as if I am a big fan of a damn idiot bossing me around."
Okay that slipped and now I had to make a run for it!!
I quickly slipped out of his office and cleared my stuff and soon left for home.

But the truth was that due to some unknown reasons my co-workers never liked me, they would always plot against me and would make fun of me. I never paid attention but the wolf side inside me scratched to get out and claw at them but I controlled my urges. They had messed up the presentation made by me which  led to all the deal breaking down. I soon reached home and decided to take a nap which lasted till sunset. Damn I had to apply for jobs. I searched the net and newspapers and found out about an interview in the Coles Companies for the job of a personal assistant. The thought of becoming a personal assistant didn't actually appeal to me very much but it was better than starving and not being able to pay rents.
So I applied for the job and went to sleep.

THE INTERVIEW DAY

Ember's POV

Today is the day I do not look forward to.
It's just so tiring to listen to the people applying spewing nonsense even though they don't have enough qualification for the job. Trust me it is not a good experience, rather a headache causing experience!

My phone rings and the receptionist informs me it's time to start with the interviews ..
So here goes nothing !

There were many women applying for the job out of which half of them weren't qualified enough, so offcourse they were cut up from the list.
The remaining half of them were qualified but didn't seem so reliable for the job. Seems I'll have to compromise.

Just as this thought entered my mind there was a knock on my door. After I shouted come in, a man entered, more precisely my mate. He looked around my age by the looks of it. Brown hair, ocean blue eyes, tall and lean. He was wearing a black suit with a white button up and a tie around his neck which suited him so well. Unknowingly I had been staring till he cleared his throat bringing me out of my thoughts.
Bringing a light blush to my cheeks.
I was still wondering why I hadn't ever seen him, because in this city my pack was the only one and offcourse he wasn't a pack member.
I politely asked him to take a seat and waited for him to give me his file.

Ray's POV

My alarm started ringing at 7 in the morning. I tried switching it off with my eyes closed but to no avail. I groggily woke up and suddenly remembered about the interview I had today at Cole's Companies.I woke up and got ready wearing a neatly ironed suit and the white button up shirt with my lucky tie. I took my file without fail and left my house so that I could reach on time.
When I was trying to get a taxi to drop me to the Company, a man knocked into me with full force to which I fell down with the papers from my file scattering around, I got up and frantically picked all the papers, luckily none of them were missing and I sighed with relief. I was just so lucky that my damn car decided to break down in the morning especially when I was late and hence the taxi.

I quickly got a taxi and started for the company, all the while praying to God that I shouldn't be late..

I reached and made my way into the company building hastily, the receptionist there gave me a weird look when I told her that I had come for the personal assistant job. I know people think it's a bit weird but I don't think so.

She told me I'm a few minutes late but I resorted to pleading and she gave in telling me to go upstairs where I would see the office.

I knocked on the door as soon as I saw the room and heard a quite 'Come in '.
I immediately entered with my disheveled look and stood there under her piercing stare. She had beautiful shoulder-length black hair which brought out her green eyes. She was wearing a red professional dress. I was soon brought back to reality but she was still staring at me to which I cleared my throat a bit with a pink tinge to my cheeks. She was my mate ! I never had thought I would be blessed with such an amazing mate or that I would meet my mate at all, I was a rogue atlast.

She was pulled out of her thoughts and she told me to sit to which I obeyed .
She looked at me expectantly and I handed her my file. She opened the file and read it with keen interest asking me questions.
Then came the question I dreaded the most.
"May I ask why you left your earlier job?"

I looked down and mumbled the truth about me being fired, but she heard it.

"Why exactly were you fired Mr. Atkins ?"

" Actually I messed up an important presentation, but in my defense it was changed when I left the room for some time. The other employees didn't particularly like me, to which I don't know the reason but I've faced such things already."

"Okay then, you will get a call from the company if you get the job. You were late today Mr. Atkins and I don't like tardiness, so if you get this job I don't want you to be late and I hate tardiness. Do keep that in mind. You may leave now."

"Sorry and yes I would definitely keep it in mind, Ma'am. But are we going to simply ignore the fact that we are mates and not talk about it? Or do you not like me ?"

"I'm sorry Mr Atkins but I wouldn't be discussing this in my office. We can arrange a meet up at some restaurant and sort this out."

"What do you even mean by sort this out ?" I couldn't help but growl out.
She was frustrating me. She was talking as if she wasn't concerned about me being her mate or maybe she had someone else and couldn't care less about what would happen between us.

"I will inform you Mr Atkins and you may take your leave now."

Angry was an understatement, I was fuming. What did she even think of herself. She was clearly the Alpha, I could sense it. It shouldn't have but somehow it made me a tad bit more insecure than I already was.
