Chapter 7 I Quit My Job

Veronica's POV

Darwin's face flashed with surprise, and at that moment, he opened his mouth to speak, "What the hell is happening here?" He flexed his muscles even though he was confused.

"I love your secretary, and I want her to be mine." Martin spoke like he was out of his senses.

I shot a deadly glare at him. "That is in your dreams, Alpha Martin. Miss Veronica is my mate. So, she can't be yours." He spoke with dominance.

I was surprised at his reply, and my thoughts swayed at once. 'Does this mean he wants me? But why did he reject me at first?' I was confused even though I could see jealousy in his eyes.

Martins grunted inaudibly. "Why don't you let Miss Veronica decide? Perhaps she is not a Beta, and you are a powerful Alpha. There is no way your pack is going to agree to her being Luna." He spoke wildly.

Hearing that and seeing the reaction of Mr. Darwin, I knew where the problem came from. Hence, the rejection.

"That is for me to be worried about and not you." Darwin walked up to me, and he held my hands before kissing me on my cheek.

"Let's go!" He spoke with a fierce voice.

I was shocked, and at the same time, I became very confused. I didn't know how to react until we had walked out of the office and reached Mr. Darwin's office.

"What are you trying to do? Huh! If I hadn't come in, you would have accepted, right?" He queried with a harsh voice while flexing his muscles. His eyes were filled with jealousy as he stared with a cold demeanor.

"That is none of your business, Mr. Darwin. The last time I checked, you rejected me and even called me a lowly omega. So, what changed? Why are you so all over me?" I queried, raising my voice at him.

"I am only concerned about you, Miss Veronica. Don't get cheap thoughts into your head. Alpha Martin is not the man you want to walk with." He arched his eyebrows.

"And you are not a better man that I would love to walk with too. So, don't feel pompous about my availability. And for your information, I will dump this job if a better offer comes. I am sick and tired of working under you." I spoke with anger.

"What?!" Darwin was silent for a while. His eyes reddened, and I could tell that his ego was tampered with.

"I will make sure that you regret this statement." Saying that off of his lips, I knew working with him wouldn't be palatable. Without further bantering words with him, I walked out of his office.

And I sighted Martins; I walked up to him at once.

"Mr. Martins, I want a job from you." I spoke sharply, making sure my gaze had an impactful shot.

Martins was shocked. "Well, that is not a problem. Can you work as my secretary?" He asked, advancing his eyes.

"What is the pay?" I asked, making sure I wouldn't be making a terrible mistake.

"Two million dollars, Miss Veronica." He responded without thinking twice.

I knew that couldn't be the normal working salary of a secretary in his company. I knew he proposed that amount because he wanted me.

"I will work as your secretary." "Do you have a pen and paper there?" I asked him.

And he nodded his head. Extending a pen and paper to me. I collected it and quickly wrote my resignation letter.

When that was done, "I wanted to end things with Mr. Darwin. Hold on." I took permission from him.

Martins was amazed by that movement.

However, I returned to meet Mr. Darwin with a letter in my hand.

"Have you come to seek forgiveness?" He asked with pride in his voice.

"No, I am here to stop all my working relationships with you. Here is my resignation letter." Stating that, I extended my resignation letter to him.

Darwin was shocked, and he slowly collected the letter from me. "You can take your leave." He said with a bit of a sigh.

I turned and walked out of his office without looking back. I went to meet Martins.

"I am all yours now. What is the name of your company, and when should I start work?" He asked me.

"My company name is Bonne Limited. And you can start work any time you wish." He said with respect in his voice.

"Okay. I will be taking today off. I want to clear my head of some thoughts." I replied to him.

"Okay, Miss Veronica. I will take my leave now." Martins left the company.

I went to my office to park my things. There came a knock at my door, and while I watched closely, my friend stepped inside my office.

"When do you intend to tell me that you are resigning?" She frowned.

"I am sorry about that. It all happened so fast. How did you hear about it?" I was surprised that she got to know that early.

"The information was passed through the company's Discord group," she explained.

I was surprised. "I want to go home and rest. I am exhausted already." After stating that, she left my office, and I walked out of the room.

It took me many minutes before I got home, and I had to rest my head on the bed with thoughts simply going through my head.

That was when memories of what had happened to me in the past came rushing into my head.

'I would have grown in the pack if not for what happened to my family.' Having that thought in my head, I remember the pathetic war that got my parents killed.

It was their maid that rescued me, and I was picked up by a Samaritan who took care of me before I decided to leave his house and start a life of my own.

The face of the man that killed my parents has faded, but I can't forget the piercing on his face and the tattoo on his hand.

I lay on the bed and shut my eyes; suddenly, something unexpected happened.
