His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 17

Love

The following day, I was ready to go to the new company. David dropped me there, but couldn’t join me because he was traveling to New York to collect the rest of his things as he’s been staying there the last year.

The office space was large and beautiful. My office, too, was lovely and with a pleasing view of the city on the top floor. I sighed and took a seat, looking through the computer. EC–Group was very successful. No wonder they bought out the Kofflins. However, its CEO was unknown.

I was assessing the company and client needs. Their tech apps were doing so well on the market. The door opened, and my secretary, Jamie, walked in with a smile.

Ma’am, the CEO is here and would like to see everyone in the conference room,” he informed me. I closed my laptop. As he led me there, I saw new faces.

Is it just in my department?” I asked Jamie.

‘No, he called the head of each department,” he answered.

“What do we know about him?” I asked.

‘Other than he’s young and handsome, a billionaire alpha, nothing much is known,” he informed me,”

And this is just one of the companies he’s running. I’ll find out more… Oh, his name is-”

Hello, Madam,” We all turned to a pretty tiny woman with long locks and a merry face. She extended her hand to me. I shared a glance with Jamie before taking her hand.

“I’m Margot. I’m assigned to your department and will be there to guide you about our company and answer all the questions since you’re new,” she said happily. She was like a little ball of happiness, just like Lilac. My heart tugged at the thought of my best friend. I should get in contact with her soon. I thought I shook her hand. Margot seemed eager.

Hi Margot, nice to meet you,” I said.

We reached the conference, and a dozen people were already sitting in their places, waiting for the new boss to arrive. They were friendly to me, and I knew some of them from K–Corp.

Everyone was talking about the new CEO and how young he was, yet doing much better than most old businessmen. They spoke highly of him. The room suddenly went quiet when the door was pushed open, and everyone stood up. The room was hot yet cold, and an earthy scent I was familiar with hit my senses. I stiffened, unable to look back.

‘Ellis, our chosen mate that chose another woman,‘ Vee was on her paws, and my heart was pounding against my chest. My body felt hot, and slowly, I turned my eyes to see who was looking at me.

It was him. My ex–chosen mate and the father of my children.

Oh, goddess. Ellis was scrutinizing me, his expression shocked. He was more handsome than remembered. He was taller, if that was possible, with pure muscle, dressed in an expensive suit.

The howling of my Lycan snapped me to reality, and I tore my gaze away, trying to look, anyway, but at him. I glanced at him, his stunning gray eyes were still on me. His plump lips opened and closed. He was rendered speechless.

Jace, next to him, cleared his throat and snapped him out of his trance. The beta smiled at me. Ellis sat at the head of the table, and we sat in our respective seats.

‘Good morning, everyone,” he said in a deep voice that made my heart leap out of my chest. I couldn’t be there, I couldn’t stay there. His eyes were focused on me the whole time, and everyone noticed he was watching me as if I would disappear. My heart rate elevated, and my palms were clammy as I tried to maintain composure.

Jace was the one who took over to tell us the agenda of the brief meeting. My gaze focused on the beta. If I tore my gaze from him, they would instantly meet Ellis‘ burning ones.
