Sophia's POV
Nevertheless, my thoughts turned to the remarks made by Alpha Bryan. Apparently, he did not believe that I was qualified to work for his company.
So, what caused him to change his mind?
Was he again planning to insult me?
I could not just believe him.
"Due to the fact that you are a student, it is necessary for us to arrange your schedule, Miss Berge. Join us tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning. I will determine the time for you. At the same time, you will be able to participate in a brief training session."
"That would be best for me. Thank you, Miss Lily."
"At any time. Have a good day. See you tomorrow."
Following her statement, Lily hung up the phone. I was in a state of haze. The tone that that woman used struck me as being professional. It was a clear indication that I got the job!
What exactly was going on?
Did he believe what I said to him in his office today? Is he now able to release me from the misconception that he had about me?
I felt someone hugging me from behind.
"What are you thinking? How was your interview?"
It was Sara. I turned to her and replied,
"It didn't go well. But..."
"But what? And why didn't it go well? Did that manager ask any difficult questions?"
She inquired with a concerned expression on her face. I could see that she also wanted me to get this job.
"I got the job," I mumbled in a hurry.
Immediately after her lips gaped open for a few seconds, she embraced me.
"YES! I KNEW IT!"
I gave her a hug in return. Those who were in the vicinity of us stared at us with a confused expression.
As she pulled away from the hug, she asked,
"What is your job? Even if it's from the lower sector, don't lose hope. I believe you are going to shine in the near future."
I held her hand and replied, "I became the CEO's assistant secretary."
"YOU WHAT!!!"
Her scream burst out much louder than before.
I pressed my palm to cover her mouth.
"Calm down, Sara. People are watching us."
She removed my hand from her mouth. "Who gives a damn? This should be a cause for celebration.
The job left me with a lot of questions. But Sara's cheering was making me feel better.
I gave her a nod. "Okay, I am giving you and Nolan a treat today."
"Hurray!"
"But where is Nolan?"
"He will be late today. He has some stuff to do. We will have him join us during our break."
"Okay."
After having a conversation with Sara, I walked to my class. We all have different schedules today.
On my way into the classroom, I changed into my regular clothing by using the restroom that was close to the classroom.
I attended my classes while trying to be attentive. But my mind kept thinking about Bryan Morrison.
Why was it that he had such a profound impact on me each time we met?
How could my wolf react like that in front of him?
After all the classes, I checked the time. It was fifteen minutes past one at noon.
In order to catch up with my buddies, I headed to the canteen.
I noticed Sara and Nolan seated at a table. Once they noticed me, they waved with their hands in my way.
I marched to them and took a seat beside them.
"Congratulations. I heard you got a job?"
Nolan asked with a warm smile.
"That's right. To add to that, I am grateful. However, I am not in the mood to feel anything at the moment."
After giving each other a brief glance, Sara and Nolan switched their attention to me.
"Why?"
I rubbed my forehead in distress.
"Today Alpha Bryan took my interview, and I left his office without his permission."
All of my friends were taken aback. It was impossible for them to believe what they were hearing.
"That's disrespectful!"
Sara mumbled.
I lowered my head and nodded. "I know. At the moment, I was unable to come up with a more efficient way to deal with him.
"Wait a minute. Why would you deal with him?"
Putting my face on the table, I hid it by placing my elbows on it. I was baffled and unsure of how to respond.
I did not have someone to talk to about my suffering or my thoughts. What kind of life could a person lead if they kept grave secrets?
'If I tell them about everything, will they judge me? But there is nothing to judge. It is not my fault; rather, it is the fault of my fate.'
I thought as so many things were running in my head.
Sara leaned in close to my head and placed her hand on my head before bending down. She said,
"Sophia?"
I raised my head and looked at Sara and Nolan. The expressions of curiosity could be seen in both of their eyes.
After taking a few deep breaths and sitting up, I then proceeded to say,
"Look, you both are aware of how my best friend cheated on me."
Following her, I began to have trust issues with both her and other people. On the other hand, after spending so many days with you two, I came to the conclusion that you are my closest friends and that you will never betray me. So I can share my secret with you.
My statements appeared to fill them with amazement. With a smile on their faces, they gave a confident nod of their heads.
I felt relaxed and let out a lower tone.
"I am Alpha Bryan's mate."
Their eyes widened, and their smiles began to fade away.
