The two girls went into the kitchen to collect all the rubbish that had accumulated during the morning rush hour. It was cumbersome for Malia, who didn't have extra abilities like Amber, who is a wolf. The only disadvantage for Amber was that she could smell all the trash that lay in the bags due to her ability.
Amber, who wanted to act like an ordinary human girl, dragged out the trash just like Malia, and they exited the kitchen one after another. The two girls had to bite their tangs not to complain, especially Amber, who was so angry. Her anger was directed at her mate. Just let him wait.
In a bid to complete her task, she was now carrying trash. Just wow. It was now three months since she had been working in the restaurant, all in a bid to get her boss to trust her.
The girls continued to go in and out as they dragged all the trash without realizing that an angry Alpha was seated quietly in a car across the street. Alex's car was so eye-catching, but the girls who were so engrossed in their work couldn't even notice.
Alex was wondering why the two girls were taking out the trash. He believed that a restaurant as big as Grandier Palate had people in charge of waste. And why was the trash getting finished? Looking at his mate, who looked so tiny and dragged a big garbage bag, Alex couldn't help but growl in the car.
Marcos was so scared that he turned to look at his Alpha. That stance was of an angry Alpha and not a CEO. What was angering him so much? He turned and looked out the window in the direction that the Alpha was facing, and there he met with two ladies pulling trash bags out of the restaurant. He could recognize one of them as the Beta's mate, but the other was a new face. And just like always, Marcos kept his nose out of his boss' business. Better to be quiet than anger the Alpha the more.
Alex received another call from Arnold, and he picked it, and just like he had expected, the old men sitting in the board room were riled up to a boiling point. He could hear their grumbling in the background of the call. He hung up and turned to look at Malia one more time. She was stretching her arms. "Hang in there, baby," He said softly.
"Let's go back to the office, Marcos" He was ready for the cooked-up heat. He just needed a breather by looking at his mate so that he could calm the wolf in him. He one fine for the past years, but now that he knew of her existence, it made him happy but also restless.
Marcos, couldn't wait any longer; he started the car and sped off in the company's direction. If the boss was in the company, he was free to go about with his life until he called him. He didn't like being around his boss because the air was permanently frozen.
Alex was still bothered by the sight of his mate carrying trash. Remembering how tiny she was the night he was with her, he could only imagine how heavy it was for her. He had to talk to Daniel to get her from the restaurant. She was his Queen, and no one had the right to put her down. Judging by the way that the two girls were angry, he could tell that they were scolded.
Yes, Alex was angry, but remember that the Beta's mate was beside her; he felt better. Amber was a wolf and a trained one at that. She would protect her if a need arose. Imagining Malia in danger was like a catalyst for Alex's anger. He had to think to bring her by his side, where her place was.
Back at the company in the board room., the directors and the shareholders were so angry. They had been sitting in the boardroom for over an hour now, but the CEO was nowhere to be seen. How could he take his time knowing very well that they were waiting for him?
"What is the meaning of this? Mr. Ford sure knows how to act important," Said an old man with glasses. He indeed did look irritated.
"So important, he couldn't recognize that Lawyer Lawson was a fox. What a waste," Mocked another.
"hahaha," The board room rang with waves of laughter. They were having so much fun at the expense of Mr. Ford.
Arnold was so angry he wanted to burst into anger he could only watch silently.
"Did you inform Mr. Ford that we are waiting for him?" The question was directed at Arnold, who was already tired of them. This was like the hundredth time they asked him the same question.
Arnold believed that the boss was riling them up because he had never done something like this before. He was always at the tip of everything, and he knew exactly where to put all the idiots in their place. However, he couldn't help to see the fun later on. "Yes, I informed him, and he said he was on his way. I believe that something has held him back," Arnold responded calmly.
"What is more important than the company's affairs is that he could ignore us here for almost two hours. How insolent," Retorted another director.
Looking at all of them going on and on about the incompetence of Mr. Ford, Arnold could only think about one thing 'They definitely were having the time of their lives.
"We should vote him off the CEO position. We can put someone more competent," Another threw in.
Although the others wanted to say the same thing, they were scared to be the first that bring it out. However, by looking at their faces, one could tell that it was precisely what they wanted to say. How convenient that someone just took the words out of their mouths.
Old man Eliot who was silently listening to the old fogs go about endlessly about his boss had heard enough. He was so angry he could feel smoke coming out of his nostrils. When he listened to another trying to chip in one of their many stupid suggestions, he banged the table so hard that everyone was startled.
"I have heard enough of all your bullshit in here. Can you at least shut up if you have nothing to say? No one will call you dumb if your lips are closed. What a bunch of ingrates," old man Eliot scolded so strongly.
"Wow, who is this ant talking to us like this? Who do you think you are to talk down on us?" Retorted the man who had suggested overthrowing Mr. Ford
"Someone who will be happy when you, an excuse of a man, is sent packing out of the company. How ignorant can some people be? Are you not aware, or are you just being adamant? Mr. Ford is both CEO and Chairman of the company, and he owns almost three-quarters of the whole company. His shares are 68%. So what gives any of you the backbone to suggest voting him out? Just wow, foolish group of old pigs."
