Wynta
She was sitting in her office working, she had left the marketing floor and closed herself into her offic The door was actually closed, so no one could come in. It wasn’t something she had ever done before But honestly she wasn’t in the mood to deal with hearing the comments out there that were being mad about her.
There was a knock on her door and she looked up to see a woman standing there holding a large round box of white flowers. She nearly ignored it. But couldn’t be that rude to the woman standing there and waved her in, “Can I help you?” she asked as the door opened.
“You’re Wynta Morgan?” she asked, pointing to the sign on the door.
“I am.” She nodded.
“I was told to personally deliver these to you, not your office. Glad you’re in.” She smiled as she walked
across the room and placed them on the desk.
“By who?” Wynta asked.
“There is a card the gentleman stated to hand them to you and no one else.” She smiled, and then she
walked from the office.
Wynta sat there and just stared at them, not knowing what to do with them, or who they were from at this point. Nolan had sent flowers the other day to the office, but she thought that was more about him telling her he was here in town than anything else.
She didn’t think Jared would send her flowers at all. They didn’t have that kind of relationship and, after
game he what she’d sent him today, there was no way she’d get flowers from him, she’d firmly ended that was playing, told everyone a lie about him, to keep him from coming anywhere near her.
Her eyes moved to the marketing floor and several people were looking at her. All eyes moved away when she looked out there, just bloody great. Regardless of who they were from, there was going to be more
gossip.
She turned her eyes back to the flowers, two dozen white roses from a place called Luxe Bouquet. She finally plucked the card from the bouquet and opened it, “I’m sorry, Wynta. I never meant to hurt you. Please have dinner with me, Nolan. I miss you.”
She stared at the words written there on the card and wondered if he actually thought that would work on her. He never meant to hurt her! She didn’t believe that for a single second. Not when he had tried to coerce her, he knew exactly what he was doing when he asked her, tried to convince her, his intent was to have him and his Beta bed her and then just toss her aside.
So, it was meant to hurt her, those very words on that card were all a lie. As for having dinner with him, he couldn’t even come and talk to her, or get her to go and talk to him So, like that was going to happen, the

man was clearly delusional. As for the ‘I miss you’, what a crock of shit. She did not believe that single second.
He’d not even missed her when she’d been chained up and missing from the pack, and he’d not ca iota about her even rejecting him, just headed off to Alpha College the very next day. Left after tell they’d come back to it in a year. He didn’t bloody care at all back then, so why would she believe th missed her now?

could see everyone out there was watching him, then their eyes were turned on her, and she knew why. They were all about to get more gossip to run their mouths about her. She didn’t know what he wanted right this minute, didn’t really care either. Her day had been shit and him being here was only go to make it worse.
Wynta was still looking at him when she reached out and hit the button to frost over the windows of her
office. It was the first time she’d ever done that, and everyone out there would know that. Then she just
returned to her work. That should tell him exactly how she felt; that she didn’t want to see him.
A part of her wondered if he’d not liked her ignoring him all day. She’d not expected to see him looking annoyed, and he did actually look a bit on the annoyed side standing out there with his jaw ticking after seeing those flowers on her desk. But after all she’d put up with in this very office, she just didn’t want to
deal with him.
She heard much goings-on out there and orders being rapped out, and then after several minutes her door opened and Jared stood looking at her. “Ms Morgan, come out here to the floor please, I have something that needs clearing up.”
“And if I choose not to?” she asked without looking at him. She had no idea what this was, or what he was going to do, but she didn’t think she wanted to be a part of it.
“I guess Dwane, your direct manager, is coming in here to make you,” he muttered, “seeing as I have nothing to do with this department at all. I don’t want that, you don’t want that. Dwane certainly doesn’t, he respects you as a diligent employee,” he told her. “Please step out here to the marketing floor.”
She sighed and got up, shot him an unhappy look, and he nodded ever so slightly, and as she walked past him, “I understand you’re annoyed, and I’m here to fix that.” He stated as he stepped back to make sure his body didn’t come into contact with hers.
She could see all the teams and supervisors were out there standing or sitting around. He’d pulled everyone to this meeting. “Now that you’re all here,” he nodded to everyone. “It has been reported to HR and then passed on to Mr Miller, Marketing’s direct CEO, that there are many vicious and unfounded
