The Alpha’s Human Mate

She went to her room to change her clothes because the clothes she was putting on were not okay for the office. She also took her ID card and dressed like she was going to work.

“Take me to the company.” She left her room and went to meet Shawn, who was standing beside the car.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. Mr. Warren has ordered me not to let you out of the house.” Shawn replied with a bowed head.

“He ordered you not to let me out? Do I look like I’m going on a date?” Ellie scoffed. She knew that going on a date might be the only thing that could make him say that. “I told you to take me to his company. Have you forgotten I work as his assistant?”

Shawn did not know what to say; he couldn’t stop her from going to work; his job was just to make sure she didn’t escape. After all, she was just going to work, which Mr. Warren approved of.

Without waiting for him to talk, Ellie got into the backseat. Shawn could only sigh; he entered the car and drove out of it.

“Now, I will see the reason why he’s not coming home,” she thought.

The car stopped in front of the company. She got out and entered. She knew that Shawn couldn’t follow her inside.

Despite the stares and whispers from the people passing beside her, she did not care, nor did she look at them. She entered the elevator and went to the last floor.

She got out of the elevator and walked towards her office. She hadn’t taken up to two steps when she saw Jeff sitting on her seat.

Jeff quickly stood up from the seat; he was surprised to see her. “Ms Loren. Wh… What are you doing here?”

“What am I doing here?” Ellie asked back. His question says it all: something was definitely up. “I work here, Mr. Jeff. Have you forgotten?”

“Oh yes. Maybe because I haven’t seen you for a long time.” He gave her a weak smile.

“Where is Mr. Warren? Is he in a meeting?” Ellie asked; she did not even wait for him to talk before she walked to Alex’s office door. She opened it and checked if he was there, but the place was empty.

“Mr. Warren is not in the office. He traveled out of the country for business,” Jeff answered.

Which country? Ellie asked, looking into his eyes. She noticed that Jeff was acting uneasy.

“Co… Country C. He went to country C.”

“So he went alone? You did not follow him? Mr. Stewart did not follow him?” She asked, looking at him as if to get the truth.

“Yes, I mean no.”

“OK then,” she said before turning around to leave.

“You’re leaving?”

“Yes,” she said before walking out.

“He’s out of the country on business, and he went alone. You can lie better, Jeff.” She whispered to herself before going out of the company. The more questions she was asking, the more suspicion there was.

“Bring the car around. We’re going to Stewart cooperation.” She said to Shawn, who was waiting at the reception.

She remembered that he was hurt the last time she saw him, even though she did not know what had happened to him. She did not trust anyone around her. She thought maybe someone had hurt him.

“Where are you, Alex?” She whispered to herself; she didn’t know what was happening to her, but she found herself worrying more about him. She never once thought that she would be so worried sick about him.

Ellie knew that Callum was his best friend, and he was the only one who could know where he was. “No matter what goes wrong, I’ll make sure I find you tonight.”

Shawn wanted to disobey her and take her home, but he knew it would only bring more suspicion and questions from her. He stopped the car in front of Stewart’s cooperation and followed her inside.

She knocked on his door and entered when she heard him say, Come in.

“Ms Loren.” Callum called out; he was shocked to see her in his office. “What a surprise! Please sit.”

“Thank you.”

“Do you want me to get you anything?”

“No. I’m fine.” Ellie replied with a smile. Without wasting her time. “Actually, I came here to ask if you’ve heard from Alex. I’ve been trying his number, but he’s not picking up.”

“Alex! Of course… Um. He is out of the country.” Callum replied without changing his smiling expression. He was surprised that the girl could ever be worried about him.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I see. Which country did he travel to?” She asked, but before he could say anything, his phone suddenly rang, but he quickly hung up without even bothering to check who it was.

“Country… um… Country D.’ Callum replied; he just said it to stop the lady from asking him more questions, but he did not know that a lot was going through her mind.

“Oh! Then I guess I’ll just wait till he comes back.” She said to Callum with a smile. She has finally confirmed her doubt. She wondered why Callum looked uneasy after he hung up the call he had. “Goodbye, Mr. Stewart.” She left his office.

After she left, Callum took his phone and called Shawn. “Why is Ms. Loren here? Your job is to keep her in the house till everything is over.” He whispered in anger. He never thought that Ellie would be something he would worry about.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Stewart,” Shawn replied with a low voice.

“Just keep an eye on her.” Don’t make any mistakes. He said before hanging up.

“Shawn. Jeff. Callum. They all know where Alex is. But why are they keeping him away from me? Are they holding him captive?” She thought. “Even if I have to reject him, he has to be there.” She entered the elevator but did not go to the first floor; instead, she went to the third floor.

Ellie! What are you doing here?! Christina asked in excitement.

“I came by to say hello,” Ellie replied. They talked for some time before Ellie finally talked about what she had come there for.

“Can I ask you for a favor?”

“A favour? What is it?” Christina asked with worry.

“Um… I need you to tell me when Mr. Stewart is about to leave the office today.” Ellie said. Christina could not say a word; she suddenly remembered him again, despite how she had been controlling herself.

“Why do you want to know when he leaves the office?”

“I… want to know because I need to send him something from Alex.” She stuttered. She was also ashamed of the stupid excuse she gave her, but she didn’t have a choice.

Christian was also looking at her as if she were saying gibberish. “I’ll call you.”

“Thank you so much. She said before leaving the room.

In the elevator. She took her phone and dialed a number. “If you’re not busy right now, let’s have dinner together.” She said before hanging up the call.
