Her boss
The next morning,
Rays of sunlight shone into the room. She opened her eyes slowly and suddenly felt a sharp pain underneath. She suddenly rose up and looked around the unfamiliar room.
It was a beautiful and large room. The whole room was painted white, which makes it beautiful. Even the furniture made it more beautiful.
Feeling so scared. “Where am I? Did Zach bring me here?” She asked herself, almost in tears.
She covered herself with the sheets and was about to get out of bed when the bathroom door suddenly opened, and a man came out with his chest bare, and only the towel wrapped around his waist.
“You’re finally awake.” He said, walking to the chair near the bed. He still couldn’t believe that he had brought her home; he had never brought any woman to his house before; he only had his flings outside.
My… my boss?! I had sex with my boss?! She screamed in her head, looking at him in shock. She was even more shocked to see his bare chest and the water dripping down his hair and face.
Ho… how did I get here? She asked, pulling the sheets to cover her chest very well.
“It seems that you didn’t even remember a thing,” he scoffed. “Let’s just say you got drunk at a bar filled with different kinds of men alone. And I managed to help you.” Callum said before taking a towel to dry his hair. The girl, who was just staring at him, gulped her spit.
“Alone? What about Ellie? What happened to her?” She asked with worry.
Callum sighed. He remembered that it was Alex’s fault; he had done something he was regretting. “You don’t have to worry about her. She’s fine.”
She looked at him and nodded her head slowly.
She was feeling so hot; she tried to take her eyes away from him, but it was impossible for her to do. Seeing the water dripping from his neck to his chest was something that got her even hotter.
As if Callum saw through her, he dropped the towel and looked at her. “Um… whatever happened between us yesterday was a mistake. You were drunk. And I was also not thinking straight.”
“I’m really sorry. I’ll make sure I take responsibility for everything that happened, even though I’m sure nothing can go wrong.” He said, looking at the girl, who was not even moving.
“We’re both adults, and we can definitely talk things out. Take this.” He said, pointing a check at her. “You can write any amount you want in it.”
Christina felt like the world had crumbled down to her feet; she couldn’t even say a word. She looked at the check in her hand before looking back at Callum.
“You’re right, Mr. Stewart. Like you said, we’re both adults, and this shouldn’t be something to worry about.” She was choking back tears as she talked to him; she pushed back his check back to him.
She wanted to say one more thing, but she knew she might break down in front of him. She knew she had to leave his presence right away.
“Can I use your bathroom?” She asked, and Callum also showed her the way. She wrapped the blanket around her and walked to the bathroom quickly.
She went to the bathroom and broke down in tears. She had always liked him, so she just felt really hurt when he said those things to her; it felt like he didn’t even value her body or care about her feelings.
She cried for some time until she heard a knock. “Um… I want to give you your clothes.” He said.
Christina also opened the door slowly, collecting the cloth before closing it back. It was after that did Callum started hearing the rush of water from the shower.
She came out of the bathroom, wearing her washed clothes. She saw Callum, who was also in his suit, sitting on the bed.
“You should have something to eat before you go.” Callum stood up from the bed and said,
Christina did not bother looking at him. “I’m fine, Mr. Stewart. I should get going.” She saw her bag on the table.
Callum just looked at her and sighed. OK then. Can I at least drop you off at home? He asked.
Christina did not have a choice other than to accept; she wanted to leave his house right away, and she could only do that with his help because she didn’t even know where she was.
“You should take the day off.” He said to her, and she also nodded her head. He wanted to talk to her, but he did not know what to say.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
She just calmed herself and followed him outside. Despite how big and admirable the house was, she did not bother looking around because of how angry she was.
The car was filled with silence. None of them said anything to each other. Callum, who was also taking a glimpse of her, knew that she was angry.
But he thought that it was the only way to save her and himself. He was thankful he managed to control his wolf yesterday, because marking her would mean another problem.
And he did not want to face any problems. He just sighed, and he kept driving.

She woke up the next morning with a terrible headache. “Oh my goodness!” She groaned, touching her forehead. She opened her eyes slowly and realised that she was in her room. “How did I get here?” She asked herself.
She could not remember anything from last night; she stood up from the bed, to go downstairs to have a cup of water, and make herself a hangover soup.
She was about walking to the kitchen, when she saw Alex sitting on a chair in the dining room, having his coffee.
“Good morning.” She greeted him shyly, but his reaction was something she wasn’t expecting.
“Good morning.” Alex also replied, before he continued to sip his coffee, and press his phone.
Ellie was so surprised to see him not shouting at her; she sat down, and saw the soup that had already been made for her.
Without saying anything, she took her spoon and started drinking the soup. She kept looking at him once in a while to see how he was reacting. But the man in front of her just kept a straight face; it was as if his eyes were glued to his phone.
Suddenly. He stood up, put his phone in his pocket, and left the room without saying anything.
“What just happened? Is he angry at me?” Ellie asked herself, looking at the closed door. She kept wondering what had happened to him, but decided to just ignore it.
