Mariana opened her eyes slowly.she was shivering,she took in her surrounding and noticed she was still in the bath tub."oh!"she gasped."so I slept here ,oh my goodness,why am I so clumsy?"

She stepped out from the bathtub,dried her body with a towel and checked her watch.

"Oh my gosh!am late"she exclaimed.she dressed up immediately, packing her hair into a bun,she locked her apartment,boarded a taxi and Left for dynamic company.

When she arrived at the company,the workers were already busy doing their various jobs."geez,God help me,I can't believe am late,I heard the CEO is scary , someone should save me please"

As she was walking,she met Hector on the way."oh hello there ,how are you doing"he greeted."Am doing fine"she forced out a smile playing with her necklace at the same time.she always does it when she was nervous.

"Don't tell me you are just coming to work right now"

"Ummmm,ummm,I just had a bad day yesterday, can you believe that I slept in the bathtub"

"Hahahaha"Hector broke into a laughter."so that's it"

"Yeah, please don't tell on me,I heard the CEO is quite scary"she said making a scary face which made Hector to start laughing again.

"You are really funny, don't worry,my boss is in a meeting right now,you should go now,the shoot will begin soon"

"Ok, thanks so much"she replied and left.Hector was really amused,he had never met a human so funny.

"Hey, don't tell me you are going to snap pictures like this, just take a look at your face,so dull, didn't you sleep well last night"the lady in charge of the shooting said to Mariana.

"I really sorry,I just had a bad day yesterday"she replied.

"Like seriously,you are sorry,do you think we are here for child's play,you have been contracted to be the face of the new dynamic product,many people are really dying to be in your place,I must admit that you are beautiful but you should take care of yourself ,am not sure taking pictures of you is going to work out today,you look terrible right now."

"That's why I suggested a famous model,I don't know what Sir Hector sees in you"Collins chipped in rolling his eyes at her.

"I am really sorry"she apologized again."Go and wait outside,we will know what we will do about this"the lady said to her and she left.

Luke Cage has just finished the meeting and was walking to his office when his wolf became restless.it kept on whispering"mate".he could perceive her scent.

"Fuck"he cursed."why is this woman so bent on making my life miserable,why is she everywhere,is she following me?I am going to teach her a lesson today.

He traced her scent to know where she was and finally he found her.she was in the women's restroom.Luke made up his mind to enter even though it was wrong to enter the women's restroom.As he came closer,he could hear the sound of sobs, someone was crying.it was definitely her.

"Why is this woman crying Everytime,why do I have to be mated with someone like her,I guess she is the punishment for the wrongs I have done"

He held the door knob and twisted it and the door opened.
