Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Why?

Leilani.

"What in hell is the meaning of this, Jay?" I hissed through gritted teeth before I could stop myself, my heart pounding in my chest both in annoyance and betrayal.

Annoyance because this wasn’t something anyone with a conscience could just throw at anyone out of the blues, most especially someone who claimed to love you.

And betrayal because somehow, I think I know why he was doing this.

My nostrils flared when he still wouldn’t—couldn’t— bring himself to look at my face. He waved me off like I was nothing but a petulant child and hissed; "You’re being transferred. The new branch in Germany deserves a competent general manager, and there is no one more fit for that position than you, Leilani."

"Are you doing this because you think I am fit for the job or because you just want to throw me out of NYC?!" I barked, and at the sound of my words, he finally lifted his head to look at me.

When our eyes met, at that moment, I swear that I could see everything I was looking for— the annoyance. The pain and betrayal. The little bit of smugness and the irritation.

He seethed; "You flatter yourself,"

And by the heavens, those words... Those softly said words made me reel. I stumbled backwards before catching myself, my eyes widening slowly as I glared at him.

"I am not going anywhere." I said coldly. Surely, "I will not leave my entire life here and move to Germany because for some reason, you have decided that you can rule over my life."

Jay leaned into his chair, his eyes raking my entire body for a second too long. I had even almost begun to think that he would never speak until he drawled; "You work for me, not with me. And I have the right to send you there—"

"No, you do not!" I snapped back, interrupting him. "You don’t have the right to do that. You never did. If I say I would not go to fucking Germany, then I won’t."

"You forget that I am your employer!" He yelled, and goddess, I could not help it. I rolled my eyes.

"And you forget that this is a job not a do or die affair. I lost two members of my immediate family within the space of two weeks, my mother is in jail, my nephew needs me, my best friend and brother are about to get married! I am a step closer to finding out about my true origin and yes, I’ve been able to get my wolf... And for some reason, forgive me, Alpha Frostclaw, you want me to drop all of that and go to Germany because you decided to send me there on a whim?!"

"It is not on a whim!" He shouted, slamming his fist on the table as he slowly rose to his feet like a predator stalking its prey; And like this, he towered over me intimidatingly just like his building towered over every other structure in this street.

He hissed; "Do you think I am doing this simply because I want to?"

"Yes, and I don’t care what else you have to sa—"

"I am sending you off because I think you’re distracted!" He yelled, causing me to flinch, "I left you for a couple of weeks and guess what? You signed a business deal with that cocky bastard I found at your house the other day?!"

"He’s sponsoring the smart traffic project!" I yelled back,
