Chapter 94

Kayla appeared with a spare blouse. “Here, you should change before
“Did I say she could change?” Drake’s cold voice cut through the
room. He’d returned without my noticing. “Go downstairs exactly as
you are.”
My stomach dropped. “Drake, I can’t—”
“Did I stutter?” His voice dropped to that dangerous alpha tone that
made my omega instincts quiver and my knees weak. Damn these
biological responses.
I walked through the office with my head high, ignoring the stares
and whispers. In the elevator, I felt male gazes lingering on my wet
blouse, the outline of my bra clearly visible. Each look felt like
another layer of humiliation Drake was forcing on me.
Outside the restaurant where we were meeting clients, Drake finally
seemed to notice my discomfort. He shrugged off his suit jacket and
draped it over my shoulders.

“Go buy yourself something decent to wear,” he said, his tone
dismissive. “You’re embarrassing me.”
The jacket slipped from my shoulders as I stepped away, my pride
finally overriding my instincts. “I don’t need it,” I said, my voice
stronger than I felt.
He threw his black card at me, the plastic hitting my chest before
falling to the ground. “What, too broke to buy clothes?”
I stormed out of the company, clutching Drake’s black card in one
hand and his expensive suit jacket in the other. My cheeks burned
with humiliation and rage as I replayed the events of the morning.
Being forced to parade through the office in a wet, see–through
blouse. Drake’s cold command to go shopping instead of offering
genuine help.
Once I was safely around the corner from the road, I dropped the
jacket onto the sidewalk and stomped on it with my heel. Hard. Then
again. And again.
“Fucking arrogant Alpha bastard,” I muttered, grinding the expensive
fabric against the concrete. “Self–righteous piece of shit.” The small
act of rebellion sent a thrill of satisfaction through me, like
electricity crackling under my skin. For a brief moment, I imagined it

was his smug face under my heel instead of his precious designer
suit.
Then reality hit me like a bucket of ice water. I quickly picked up the
jacket, my heart racing so hard I could feel it in my throat. What the
hell was I thinking? If Drake found out I’d deliberately damaged his
precious designer suit, he’d make my last week of contract pure
fucking hell.
I checked the jacket for damage, hands trembling as I brushed off the
dirt. Drake wouldn’t hesitate to make me pay for it, contract or not.
He’d probably enjoy watching me squirm, explaining how I’d have to
sell a kidney to replace his precious fashion statement.
Shit, shit, shit. Get it together, Elsa.”
The high–end boutique was just a block away. I walked in with my
head high, despite my still–damp blouse clinging uncomfortably to
my skin and my inner omega whimpering with humiliation. The
saleswoman’s eyes widened slightly at my disheveled appearance, but
her professional smile never wavered.
“I need a new top,” I said, heading straight for the most expensive
section. My inner voice was screaming: Fuck him and his money.
“Something with a high neck.”
