HER REJECTION

LAURA

Laura left home very early. If she is to refuse, then she had to do it as soon as possible. Mrs. Rosie sure acted very strangely last night, but she guess she understood why the old lady reacted that way. She would never be able to understand Mrs. Rosie sometimes but one thing she realized is the fact that Mrs. Rosie cared for her even though she never showed it or try to cover it up by speaking to her harshly.

She was used to people yelling, cussing, and hating her. So when she sees someone who cares for her but acts like they don't care, she could easily tell.

She woke up as early as 6:am, took her bath, and put on a plain white dress that hugged her body, though not too tight, but enough to show her curves. It wasn't her intention to expose her curves though, it was just the dress she chose for the day.

After dressing up, she left the house without waking up Mrs. Rosie. She planned to get back home early and make a proper plan on what she was to do since finding a job was impossible.

When she got to the company, Laura felt quite sad, seeing how beautiful the company looked.

If it were to be a different case, then she wouldn't have had trouble accepting to work with them. She guess her luck changed for bad at the end. What a cruel fate to be born with.

She walked into the company and met the receptionist she saw earlier.

"Hello young lady, I remember you from yesterday. Are you here for, Mrs. Naomi?"

"Yes, I am."

"Oh, you can go in. She came in not quite long."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome. Hoping you see you more often."

Laura heaved a long deep sigh, she wished that was possible. If only the receptionist knew why she was back.

Just as she was walking through the passage to the secretary's office, she recalled what happened.

She still found it hard to believe that she saw her mates. Not just one but two she came them.

What kind of fate does she have? How in the world did she end up with two instead of one?

Good thing she would be rejecting the secretary's offer, else she had no idea how she would be able to face her mate. She shook her head and shivered the moment she remembered the look they gave her the previous day. It was pure disgust.

If she were to be in the Palace, maybe then she would still have been looking forward to her mates.

But ever since her parents died, she stopped looking forwards to things. She already knew she had a terrible fate and hence she never hoped for a mate in her life. Just to put it to her that she had a terrible fate, she was mated to two kinds of people who will never want to have her as a mate. She wondered why they didn't reject her on the spot. They must have changed her too much to even think about rejecting her at that very moment.

While she was deep in thought, thinking about her mate, she found herself in front of the secretary's office.

She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, sucked in a good amount of air, and exhaled. Then she walked gently into the secretary's office. While she was walking into the office, she suddenly perceived a strong minty scent, just like she did the day before.

Laura’s wolf seemed to want to lose control, but she comported herself. Though she did not understand why.

"I'm glad you came back today. And I must say you look more stunning today," Naomi praised.

"Thank you very much, Mrs Naomi." At that moment, Laura thought of what the lady might think when she gets to tell her that she was rejecting her offer.

"So tell me, Laura, have you made up your mind?"

"Well about that?" For some reason, her heart began beating fast for reasons she couldn't tell. This had never happened to her before.

"Yes, go on?"

"Mrs. Rosie, I'm sorry to tell you that I wouldn't accept the job?"

Laura said the words at once with one breath.

"What? Goodness. Oh dear.... what made you decide on that? Did something happen at home?"

Something happened at the office yesterday, coupled with Mrs Rosie's disapproval of her working for the company. But then, how can she tell the pregnant lady such a thing?"

"Not really. I..Uhm I found another job," Laura lied through her teeth. She knew she was lying, she hoped that her lies won't cause her more problems. She knew she wasn't supposed to lie about getting a job, but it seemed to be the only way out of her situation at the moment.

"Goodness! Don't tell me it's a company that offered you the post of a cleaner?"

"Well, I think being a cleaner isn't a bad thing if you ask me."

"No, no, don't get me wrong Laura, I wished to have you here. But then, I already told the boss we will be having a new secretary, and he was so excited to meet you already."

Laura gasped inwardly and her jaw dropped. That was so not what she was expecting. What was she supposed to do now?"

"I'm sorry, I wished I could work for him, but I guess fate wouldn't allow it."

"Well, for that, I think you should tell him yourself that you wouldn't work for him. I mean when I told him earlier he was so happy and looking forward to meeting you. So if you go just like that, I don't think it will be pleasing, don't you think?"

Laura was practically speechless. Could things get any worse? If she remembered correctly, this boss Mrs Naomi was talking about is the owner of MAGIC MAN and the man she discovered yesterday as her mate. This is a disaster!

"I don know how but can I skip seeing him? I mean I didn't agree to work yesterday."

"Yes you didn't, but you said you will give me a reply, so what you should do now is give him your reply since he already knows," Naomi stated, making it seem as though it was that simple.
