Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon) novel Chapter 159

“Ms. Palmer, come with me.” Jackson lightly touched my arm.
Only then did I come back to my senses. I followed him into one of the buildings.
The security system of the Knight pack was strict. Non-pack personnel had to have their identities verified before they could enter, no exception.
We each submitted to the facial scan, and once we were admitted past security, Tara walked over.
She greeted Jackson and then looked at me as I followed behind Jackson.
“Alpha Sterling, do you mind if I have a few words with Taya?”
“Ms. Palmer is your employee. Why would I mind?”
Tara’s tone sounded polite, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it. And by the way Jackson had answered her, it seemed as though he had picked up on the sarcasm as well—and didn’t like it.
Jackson looked over at me. “I’ll wait for you inside.” Then, he led the members of the Sterling pack away.
As soon as he left, Tara smiled.
“You’ve treated Alpha Sterling quite well.” Tara looked at me with contempt. “Not everyone can attend the bidding event of the Knight pack, but Alpha Sterling brought you here, which means that he thinks highly of you.”
She deliberately dragged out the end of the sentence as if she were saying, “He doesn’t think highly of your work ability, but your bed skills.”
Hearing the sarcasm in her words, I didn’t think there was any point in talking to her, so I pursed my lips tightly and remained silent.
Tara didn’t like to be ignored. Her expression turned icy for a moment, and then she smiled gently and generously.
“You’ve done a good job. I’ll give you a raise later.”
Tara’s face flushed and her mouth twitched a little as she looked down at me.
“You know, hooking up with Alpha Sterling isn’t something you should be proud of.”
Tara turned and left. To everyone else, she appeared kind and generous, elegant even, but I knew better.
I walked quickly to the passage next door without batting an eyelid.
