Sophia was silent upon hearing that. Sara looked at her and sighed.
Sara held Sophia’s hand and rubbed it with her palm to comfort her.
“I don’t want to rejoin the company, Troy.”
Troy was shocked after hearing that. “But why?”
“I just don’t. Thanks for trusting me and now informing me about it. It was really great news for me that the accusation had moved from my head, but I don’t want to go there again.”
Troy tried to persuade her, but she was firm with her decision. She did not want to go and meet that man again, who did not believe her at first.
With a defeated heart, Troy hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Sara hugged Sophia and jumped.
“Yes! Finally, the worry has come to an end.”
Sophia smiled after letting out a deep breath. She was smiling after four days. A tear escaped from her eye as she felt relaxed.
Sara wiped her tear and said,
“Now you can dress up for tonight, right?”
Sophia chuckled and nodded her head. Sara chose a cherry-red dress for her that was backless and sleeveless.
Sophia put on makeup with a smile on her face. She was happy today. She did not want to do a job at that company again, but at least no one would call her a traitor.
After saying goodbye to her mother, Sophia left her house with Sara.
“I’m driving the car today.”
“What?”
“Babe, I got my driving license. Let’s go.” Sara said in a singing tone.
Both of them got in the car and headed to the place where Nolan was waiting for them with his friends.
“You could have invited Troy,” Sara let out while driving.
“I forgot, but it’s okay. I will invite him another time.” Sophia replied.
A ringtone intervened just as Sara was about to advise her to call Troy right away to invite him.
Sophia took out her phone when she realized that it was ringing.
When she looked at the screen, she saw an unknown number.
She received the call. “Hello?”
A deep and chilling voice came from the other end of the phone, which sprinted her heartbeat faster.
“Why did you refuse to rejoin my company?”
Sophia’s POV
“Who?” Sara asked me as she glanced at me.
I slowly turned my head toward her and replied to her in a lower tone.
“Alpha Bryan.”
Her eyes widened, but she focused on the road as she was driving the car.
As Bryan heard me, he waited for my reply.
I cleared my throat and responded,
“I don’t want to; that’s why.”
“Why?” he asked.
How did he ask why? Did he not know the reason? How could he behave like that to me that day?
My hand moved a little as my phone pressed harshly on my left cheek. I hissed in pain.
The cut on my skin had not healed yet. I always tried to hide it by putting on makeup.
“Alpha, thanks for giving me the opportunity to work for your company. But since I was fired from my job, I don’t want to continue my work there.”
“The reason?”
I took a deep breath and said,
“You know the reason. I should stay away from you. In case something else happens again, you will blame me after listening to someone else’s words. I can’t work there where no one trusts me.”
He was quiet after hearing me. I thought he would cut the call. But he spoke out again.
“Come back. It was not your fault. I will hand over an apology letter from my company.”
Sara glanced at me. When I looked at her, she raised her brows to know what Bryan was saying.
I turned my head to look outside the window.
“I know you think of me as a shameless person. But I have some self-respect. I can’t go back there.”
After saying that, I did not let him talk and cut the call.
“What did he say?” Sara asked the moment I hung up the phone.
“Same thing. He wants me to go back to his company.”
“Did he say sorry to you?”
I scoffed at her words. “He and sorry? It’s an impossible thing. I think he has never said sorry to anyone in his life.”
“Then how did he ask you to go back?”
“He was talking about an apology letter that his company would give me.”
“Is he even serious? No, I can’t believe it. How could he be so unromantic?”
I looked at her. She was still thinking about our mate bond. I only told her about Bryan’s firing me from my job. I did not tell her how he behaved with me.
If I had told her, she would have understood that I and Bryan had nothing like mates should have.
During the whole ride, Sara consoled me, telling me that I should teach Bryan a lesson and make him come after me.
I only laughed in my head. That arrogant man could never come after me. He did not care if I went to his company or not.
I was sure that he only called me to fulfill his duty as CEO. He had no regrets about how he behaved with me that day.
Sara stopped the car in front of a fun factory center.
“Let’s go. We will play a lot of games today.”
We entered the building and found Nolan with his friends. He waved at us. We went to them.
“Hello, guys,” Sara said to those boys.
I assumed she had known Nolan’s friends since she was his mate.
“She is our friend, Sophia,” Nolan said, introducing me to his friends.
I smiled at the boys. There were two boys, and I found them familiar. I realized I had seen them in a few classes.
“We know her,” one of them said.
“You look so pretty,” the other boy said.
“Thank you,” I replied to him.
We went bowling together. One by one, everyone tried to hit as many pins as they could. Nolan hit all ten pins, and we cheered up for him. I was not good at it, so I could not hit many.
After playing some more games, Sara suggested we go to a five-star hotel.
I had money, which I got from my salary, so I agreed with her.
All of us headed to the restaurant close to the center.
