“And the devil’s back” La mumbled to herself as she watched Nn walk in, looking handsome as hell.


    It seemed as if he got more handsome each passing day, he looked more handsome than thest time she saw him and he will look more handsome tomorrow.


    “Good day sir” she greeted curtly, no smile ghosting her face.


    She immediately regretted greeting him as he didn’t even bother to answer her, he didn’t even wave.


    “Did Xander give you the files I asked him to give you?” He asked as La shook her head.


    “Yes sir, they’re rig…”


    “Print them out , give copies each and bring them to my office in five minutes” he interrupted.


    “Ask Bertha to bring me a cup of coffee” he ordered, walking out on him.


    La rolled her eyes as she picked up the telephone, cing a call to Bertha, informing her of the president’s request.


    Then she went ahead to the printer to get her own portion of work done.


    “Oh God!!” La gasped in fear. She had gotten into very big trouble.


    She has idently poured ink on the papers, not just one but all along with the duplicate.


    “What did I do now?” She asked herself and she began to breathe heavily.


    No doubt Nn will sack her not after murdering her.


    He sounded like he needed the files urgently, koe she had ruined all of them.


    She felt like jumping out of the thirty storey building skyscraper and ending her life instead of facing Nn.


    Where will she even begin her exnation from?.


    “La” someone called behind her and she instantly turned to see Xander standing there along with Bertha who was standing with a tray in her hand, she must have already delivered Nn’s coffee.


    “What’s the problem?” He asked on seeing her wet eyes, she was literally at the verge of crying.


    La couldn’t speak as she slowly pointed at the ruined papers.


    “Oh” Xander mouthed, sucking his teeth.


    She should be crying, Nn will not take it lightly with her.


    That’s the main reason his past secretary neversts.


    Not to talk of the fact that he doesn’t like La who happened to be his mate, he’s literally nning on rejecting her.


    “How did this happen?” He questioned collecting the papers from her. They were all ruined. Totally.


    “Oh no La, you’re definitely losing your job today ” Bertha said in pity from behind.


    “Leave ” Xander ordered in a hard voice as she hurriedly left.


    “He’s going to kill me, ” La said amidst sobs.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “Don’t worry we can figure something out,” Xander said, trying to sound convincing.


    Though he knew there was a little hope for her.


    “You know there’s nothing I can do here, all the papers were ruined, I must have added too much ink” she said, her heart beating loudly. Xander could literally hear her heartbeats from where he stood. She was scared.


    “I’ll speak to Nn on your behalf,e on” he gestured leading her to Nn’s office, he can try talking him out of it.


    “Are you done with the papers?” Nn asked the moment La and Xander stepped into his office.


    La felt her heart jump and she quickly hid behind Xander.


    “What is it, where are the files?” Nn requested, seeing her tensed state, he guessed she must have made a mistake.


    “I’m sorry sir” La apologized with her head facing the ground.


    “Sorry for what!”


    “Apparently, the papers got ruined with ink by ident” Xander spilled the beans as La gulped loudly.


    She lifted her head a little, only to see Nn’s eyes burning with fury.


    “I know you’re always bound to make mistakes!!” He grunted dropping the pen he was holding noisily on the table.


    “I told you I needed the papers urgently, but you still went ahead and ruined it” he red at her, fuming with rage.


    “I am so sor..”


    “Shut it!!!!” Nn growled as silence reigned in the room. La could feel cold chills down her spine, it was as if his eyes were boring holes into her.


    “Nn I think you’re taking it too far” Xander began softly trying to calm Nn down.


    “Taking what far??” He yelled in anger as he stood up from his chair striding to where she stood.


    La quickly hid behind Xander in fear.


    “She’s not a fucking child, but an adult!!” He howerled grabbing La’s arm as he dragged her out from behind Xander.


    “Don’t interfere Xander” he warned in a monotone, as Xander tried pulling La backwards.


    “Don’t dare me” he warned and Xander could guess he was really angry this time.


    He had no choice but to back down.


    If Nn ends up hurting his mate, he was the one who was going to get hurt at the end of the day.


    “You!!” He growled raising his hand in the air as La quickly hid her face wincing in pain.


    He was holding her so tight and was hurting her, now he wanted to hit her.


    But no pain came, she lifted her head slowly to meet his gaze. He was staring dangerously at her.


    His icy blue eyes which she used to find attractive now held this ferociousness in them.


    He stared at her as he was disgusted at her, like he made a grave mistake having her in his life.


    A tear dropped from La’s eyes, she didn’t n on crying, but strangely his behavior hurt her a lot and she felt pained.


    Nn’s eyes softened at the sight of the tear that fell from her eyes, but he quickly hid that and held a stoic expression.


    He released her from his hold as he began to walk back to his chair and he spoke.


    “Take your pathetic self out of my office” La quickly walked out of his office and went straight to the bathroom.


    “Nn!!” Xander called after La was gone.


    “You fucking went too far, she’s your mate” he deadpanned. He knew Nn was only trying to be stubborn and was fighting deep within himself not to go after her andfort her.


    “But not for long” Nn uttered, the full moon was a few days away, that’s when he will reject her as his mate, after that she’ll seize to work with him as he never wanted toy his eyes on her.


    “So you really n on rejecting her right?, But why do you hate her so much?” Xander couldn’t help but ask.


    “Use the door,” Nn snapped as Xander quietly walked out. There was no need to argue with him, Nn was literally a beast whenever he was angry.


    “Fuck” Nn cursed clenching his fist tight. They should never have met that night.
