Chapter 3

Four years later.....

Walking down the hallways her heels clicked on the ground as she made her way towards the Manager's office. Her black iron, penciled skirt made her stand out in front of the others with her white short sleeve blouse tucked into the skirt.

She pushed the door of the office open and strode in. The door was a black and white door with manager Betty hanging on it.

"Ma'am you asked for me?" Fira asked with a tiny smile hanging on her lips, she carefully placed the file in her hand on the table, arranged neatly.

Betty raised up her eyes from computer screen, a smile hanging on her lips. "you always act so formal, we have known each other for years now yet it feels as if we are stranger's to each other."

"We are in the office ma'am, if I speak to you in an informal tone then everyone will think I got my position because of you. They all already despise me as it is, I see no reason to add more to it." Fira replied with an unwavering stare stretching her hands apart.

"Why do you care so much about what people think of you? I believe as long as no one in the office is responsible for your meals then you shouldn't worry about what they think."

"So what if you got the role because of me? You know a big shot, are you afraid to let others know." Betty smirked to herself, she knew her friend would never admit to the fact that they were both equals.

Fira felt a headache coming in on her, she rolled her eyes before her demeanor finally relaxed. "if this is what you want then I will speak to you casually only when we are alone Betty ."

"Yes! That's my Fira! Mama is proud of you baby, get the files ready, you will be taking them to the hotel to deliver to the big boss. I can't go by myself, I am tired." Betty said with a girlish grin hanging in her lips.

"You are escaping your duties again ma'am. You are suppose to deliver but you keep sneaking away to see your boyfriend and everyone ends up gossiping about you Everytime." Fira remarked taking a seat on the chair.

"Fine fine! You are smart you caught me, I have a date with Fernando, I can't keep him waiting for long. I will drive you to the restaurant, you deliver the documents and then I go off to my date."

"If I deliver the documents myself then no one will let me leave, they will ask me to stay behind and I don't want to stay behind. Pleaseeee" Betty pleaded with pouty lips and watery big eyes piercing right into Fira's soul.

"Just this one time, this is the last time. Any more and I will have to disobey my superiors orders!" Fira said and stood up on her feet. Clearing her throat, "I have to go now. Talk to you later." Fira said and ran out before any more orders were given to her.

Betty couldn't help but smile as she watched Fira run out, all she wished was the best for her dear Fira and alot of happiness too for her.

.......

Crack!

The glass fell on the ground and broke into bits, the man eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the woman who was all curled up in the bed and covered with a blanket. "I have told you times without numbers not to climb into my bed so shamelessly."

"You are my fiancee, and I have needs too. When my body needs you, you should be there for me. Or should I go out and get some men to f**k? Just like your ex?" The woman cried acting pitiful with tears streaming down her face.

Alan frown deepened, he pursed his lips and walked toward the bed. "you always misbehave and act like you are right every single time. Just so you know, my ex was your sister!"

"You should feel ashamed talking about your sister in that manner! Damn it!" Alan cursed before picking up his shirt and storming off the room.

Dina's eyes gleamed with hatred, her fists tightened by her side. She grits her teeth in anger, "Fira you are miles away from here in another country yet he still can't stop thinking about you!"

"Why are you doing this to me! Can't I live a happy life without worrying.... You are far away yet you bring me so much pain....." Dina muttered tears falling from her eyes, the hatred in them gleamed so heavily that anyone would be blinded by them.

"I hate you Fira!"

.........

"Achoo" Fira sneezed as she tried to arrange the file and make it look more presentable before she walked into the private room.

"Achoo"

She sneezed once again and her nose turned soured, "Maybe someone is thinking about you. My grandma says when someone talks or think about anyone behind them or even far away then the person always sneeze."

Fira turned around in surprise, her eyes fell on the ginger colored hair lady standing with a smile on her face. Fira was mesmerized by her beautiful smile, the way her lips curled up and the air of confidence around her was impeccable.

"Th.....thank you." Fira stuttered.

"It's alright dear, you must be a good person because only good people are worth thinking about by others." The lady compliment before walking away gracefully.

Fira stared at her for a while before regaining herself, she dust off the invisible dust on her clothes and silently pushed the door open. Fira released a breath as she stepped into the room, her eyes directly fell on the man sitting at the head of the table.

Skyler's brows shot up when he saw the woman that just walked into the room, at the end he finally saw her after years.

"Mate!!!" His wolf screamed in his head, his gaze still pinned on her. Skyler cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention, he gestured toward his assistant to check what she was here for.

Fira felt uncomfortable watching people stare at her, she awkwardly cleared her throat and stepped out for a bit.

"Mr Quinn wonders why you are here?" Gary said to Fira, his words coming off as weird.

Fira didn't bother to point out his wrong use of words, she stretched the files in her hands toward him. "Manager Betty asked me to deliver these files here, that's why I am here. I work under the administrative team."

Fira explained bringing out her ID card and showing it to him. Gary's gaze fell to the ID card, he nodded his head and hummed before taking the files from her. "wait here, I will be right back."

Gary said and walked back into the room. He walked directly to Skyler and whispered in his ears. A grin appeared on Skyler's lips, "She can go then." a glint flashing through his eyes.

Gary returned and told Fira she was allowed to leave, Fira breath a sigh of relief. She bowed and immediately ran out of the hallway into the elevator. As luck would have it, Fira was unfortunate.

As she hurried to get out of there, she bumped into a lady and they both fell on the ground with their bottoms.

"I'm so sorry. So sorry"
