Frustrated?
Good!
A secret smile tugged at the corners of my lips.
Zoeâs interference seemed to have worked in my favor, shifting Calebâs anger away from me.
Taking a chance, I continued, âAlpha, please allow me to continue working for you.
I promise Iâll never let something like this happen again.
Iâll keep your secret safe, I swear.
â
Caleb clenched his fists, his silence stretching between us.
Finally, without demanding my resignation, he relented, âTake a break for now.
Weâll discuss work matters later.
â
Though this was not a direct agreement, it was still a glimmer of hope.
Grateful, I nodded eagerly.
âOf course, Iâll reflect on this and ensure it doesnât happen again.
â
I was pleased with the outcome.
My plans hadnât been in vain- everything had gone far smoother than anticipated.
Flashback:
From the moment I became Calebâs secretary, I harbored a hidden agenda.
My father, always one step ahead, saw an opportunity following Luna Debraâs disappearance.
While others whispered rumors, he contacted me with a clear directive.
âAlexandria, return to the Thorn Edge Pack and do whatever it takes to get close to Caleb.
â
I understood his intentions well.
Caleb was not only strikingly handsome and charismatic but also a formidable Alpha.
If I could step into Lunaâs shoes before Debra returned, it would bring honor to the Vargas family, elevating my fatherâs standing.
Excitedly, I journeyed back to the pack.
I had hoped to captivate Calebâs heart with my grace and talents, but my plans crumbled beneath the weight of his devotion to Debra.
Caleb underwent a profound transformation since being with Debra.
He became wholly indifferent to the charms of other women, presenting an insurmountable barrier to anyone seeking closeness with him.
In desperation, I turned to my cousin Carlos, imploring him to help me secure employment.
Unaware of my ulterior motives, Carlos readily agreed without hesitation.
Eager to be near Caleb, I skillfully persuaded Carlos to prioritize securing a position that would bring me close to him.
Thanks to my reputation as a diligent student, Carlos didnât question my intentions deeply, securing me a secretary role that placed me in Calebâs orbit.
Upon receiving the phone call, waves of joy washed over me, prompting me to set aside all other tasks and diligently prepare for the upcoming interview.
True to anticipation, my proficient skills secured me the role of Calebâs secretary, gradually earning a fraction of his trust in the process.
However, this achievement proved insufficient to satisfy my ambitions.
