The company owned by the Pride family was one of the well-known and most successful businesses in the world.
Many employees were working under the company of the Pride Family.
A prestigious and cut-throat working environment.
The working place and environment alone of the company could reflect how advanced and luxurious their brand was being showcased.
Upon Scarlett's entry to the Pride Family's Company building, she was amused at the sight surrounding her.
Completely fascinated and amused at the advancement and sophistication from the lobby entrance alone.
Unauthorized individuals were not allowed to enter in the building.
A scanning machine that allows only employees and authorized guests to enter.
Sir Domiguez, Scarlett's chauffeur was just behind her wondering at the expression of Scarlett.
…
'WOOAAHH!!'
'This is freaking huge and amaazziinng! I never thought to see this in person… prior to this I was just reading it from the book and now I am seeing it before my eyes.'
'Living the story that I am fond of!'
She thought to herself.
Then Scarlett realized Sir Dominguez was following her.
"Umm… Sir Dominguez haven't my father told you that I don't want any bodyguards?" Scarlett reminded Sir Dominguez.
"I know Miss Pride but you forgot your things!" Sir Dominguez handed over the things of Scarlett.
"Thank you Sir Dominguez!" she smiled cheerfully and moved ahead.
…
The red velvet-haired CEO's daughter made her way to the scanning machine like a regular employee.
Since she demanded to her father to be an assistant division chief of the Strategy and Planning Division instead of being the head of the division.
Convincing him that she would be able to function better without others knowing her real identity.
In that case, she could also keep her identity in a low profile.
Without gaining so much attention would allow her to avoid any unnecessary threats or security compromises.
It made Scarlett's father agree to her request to use another family name and be an assistant chief instead of the head of the division.
Though, the most difficult for him to permit was the 'NO BODYGUARD' policy of Scarlett.
Except for Sir Dominguez, Scarlett's father was unbending with his chauffeur rule. That she must always have Sir Dominguez as her professional chauffeur wherever she goes.
So, Scarlett agreed as well. As long as Sir Dominguez remains in the parking lot and wait for her to finish at work.
…
As Scarlett checked her watch, she realized how already late she was for her first day.
Immediately she rushed towards the golden door of the elevator.
A guy in his suit held the door for Scarlett.
Dashing towards the elevator, Scarlett panted as she got inside the elevator.
…
"PHEW! Thanks for holding the elevator!" Scarlett thanked the guy who held the elevator for her.
…
The moment she reached her designated floor for her work.
Everyone was busy with their own tasks.
Bustling sounds of copier machines printing…
Phone ringing left and right…
Employees chatting about certain business matters…
…
Looking around, Scarlett had no experience of having a desk job.
Especially the original character of Scarlett Pride.
…
<< According to the original story, Scarlett Pride was not socially exposed and publicly known to the media. She manages the charitable works of their family behind the scenes having Butler Fredo to assist her. Only the families of hunters are aware of her identity and image.>>
…
This made Scarlett decide that if she wanted to change her ill-fated death written as her ending, then she must start it with being physically more involved in their family businesses and be more self-reliant.
Rather than stay within her comforts and the walls of their mansion.
And maybe she could find a way to avoid for her family to depend on the Crescent Moon Pack as their ally.
…
'If I succeed in taking out the possibility of our family being dependent on a financial and political support of the royal family. Then maybe I won't be able to come across with my fated mate.'
'I NEED TO FORGE MY OWN PATH!'
'AWAY FROM MY DESTINED MATE!'
…
Serious contemplation of Scarlett.
"Are you Miss Scarlett Lively? The new assistant chief of strategy and planning division?" the receptionist took Scarlett's attention.
"Umm… yes!"
"The chief of the division has been waiting for you!"
Scarlett noticed how posh and neat the receptionist leading her way.
Treating her just like some regular person.
"I am sorry I was late. It was so traffic!" Scarlett reasoned out with the receptionist.
"Don't explain to me! Explain to the head chief, he doesn't look happy at all."
The lady receptionist continued to look down on Scarlett, "It's really not a good first impression for you to be late!"
…
Upon reaching the head chief's office, the lady receptionist opened the door for Scarlett.
"Good luck!" she sarcastically implied before leaving Scarlett on her own with the head chief.
…
"Hi! Good morning! I am…" Scarlett nervously tried to introduce herself.
…
"I know who you are!" the head chief interjected Scarlett's statement even before she could say anything.
It took her by surprise.
Assuming that the head chief was aware of her real identity.
'Damn it! I told that old geezer to be discreet about my real identity. So much for the cooperation I was expecting.'
…
"You are the new assistant chief with impressive academic background and working experience. I saw your file, Miss Lively!"
He continued, "One thing you must bear in mind… I HATE LATE COMERS!"
"Next time, be at work early!" He further reminded Scarlett.
…
The chief of the Strategy and Planning Division was known for his strict and cold hearted demeanor.
…
"It will not happen again, I promise! And I will be early tomorrow." Scarlett promised.
…
"Oh, you better be! Or else I will request to the CEO President for your termination."
Threatening Scarlett if she does not perform well.
Unaware that Scarlett was actually the CEO President's daughter.
…
'This will be fun!'
…
He added, "You can ask for Ivon and tell her to guide you around."
…
"Okay!"
Faking a smile as she went to find Ivon.
….

Meanwhile…
While Scarlett began her first day at the company owned by her father…
Scarlett was being dreamt of by someone in his dreams.
Her beauty and smile radiated under the sun.
…
Until he woke up from the most beautiful he ever had.
"Prince Kratos, you are finally awake!"
The Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack was delighted to see their Alpha awake from his slumber.
"Where am I?" the Alpha Prince of the Crescent Moon Pack wondered.
"You are in the hospital. You survived an ambush attack from rogue werewolves," he explained to his Alpha.
…
He felt agitated that he woke up from the most beautiful dream he ever had in his life.
Pondering on the image he saw in his dreams.
"Where is the woman who saved me?" Prince Kratos asked.
"There was no one with you in the ambulance, Alpha… The medical team from the hospital brought you here." His Beta answered.
"THERE IS SOMEONE WHO SAVED ME BEFORE THE MEDICAL TEAM ARRIVED!"
He elaborated further, "FIND OUT WHO CALLED FOR HELP AND REPORTED FOR RESCUE!"
A search for his savior became the priority of the Alpha Prince.
