His Mate, His Girlfriend by Sunshine Princess
Chapter 20

Since when?” Michael smirked, earning a growl from Ellis. I have been trying to avoid eye contact with him.

“I don’t drink at work,” I gritted my teeth, glaring at him, but my ears felt hot when I remembered what happened with him in New York.

“We should go out to celebrate tonight for your success,” Jace said.

Does that mean I resume the project?”

The board will further discuss it, but they did like it,” Michael replied, smiling as he eyed Ellis. I was pleased to hear that. The app was my idea, and I put years into it just to be rejected at K-Corp. My smile vanished when I caught a glance at Ellis. He was staring at me.

My phone rang, cutting off Michael’s work, and I internally cussed. forgot to put it on silent. I checked the caller ID, wanting to end the call, but it was Luis calling. He never called me at work unless it was important,

Michael gestured for me to answer it, and reluctantly did. I moved a few paces from them. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hey, sweetheart. How’s work going?” His voice was deeper than eve

Hi, is everything alright?” I asked, worried.

“I just missed you so much,” he husked. I raised an eyebrow. He only

does this when women hit on him, and he wants to chase them away.

I missed you, my love,” I played along, my voice sweet and needy. I

ignored the low growls from Ellis’ chest. I could feel his intense gaze on me, making my skin shiver.

Are we having dinner together?” he continued.

Am I cooking, or are we going to a restaurant?” my voice was low and sultry.

e it when you cook while I watch and do bad things to you,” his voice was sensual. I almost burst out laughing, but I was enjoying this too much. Who was he trying to avoid? The growls erupting from Ellis excited Vee so much.

“I’ll see you soon, babe,”

“I can’t wait,”

I felt like I was about to face a beast. I pulled on a straight face as I turned to face the gentlemen in the room.

Michael was amused about this whole thing. He always looked so proud, that man. Jace looked worried while the CEO was fuming with

anger.

“Who was that?” he all but growled, taking menacing steps towards. me. I stood my ground.

“It was a personal call, sir,” I sniggered, emphasizing sir.

Love,” he warned, his sterling gray eyes flashing as he released a dangerous aura.

Do you ask all your employees about their calls?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow. He swallowed, looking aggravated. I know we needed to talk. If we were going to see each other, we had to talk about what happened five years ago, but I was dreading it.

Ellis’ chest was rising and falling. I smiled, ” Please excuse me, I have

work to finish,”

I walked away, but Michael called.

Are we celebrating tonight?”

No, it’s inappropriate to do that with my bosses. I’m merely a manager of my department,” I told him,

Come on, Lovie, don’t be a bore,” Jace groaned. I smiled at him

gently,

“Oh, I’m not. I have other plans tonight,” I winked suggestively and left the room. The roar that resounded from the office made the

employees in the common area jump in fear. They continued, and

then a loud bang was heard, and all the employees’ eyes turned to me.

What? Get back to work,” I barked, annoyed at them. They enjoyed gossiping about people’s lives.

Ellis had a dominating aura all day, so no one worked properly as their inner counterpart were oppressed. I, on the other hand, wasn’t affected. I was an alpha myself. It got better when he left the office angrily. I was smiling and in a good mood. After a long day at work, I was ready to go home and see my little monsters, but as I reached my car, I saw Lilac in front of my car. I should have seen this coming. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her lower lips were quivering.

‘five f ucking years, Love, five years!” she burst into tears. I opened my arms wide for her, but she turned her back on me.

“I’m sorry,” I said as I walked to her… and hugged her from behind.

“I missed you,” I said. She turned and hugged me tightly, crying in my arms. I comforted her until all the anger was gone from her heart.

“Forget five years, you’ve been back for a month and didn’t bother to call me!” she exclaimed, now this is the anger I liked, not the sobbi

one.

“I’m sorry, Bestie. I was going to,” I told her.

Lilac dragged me to a nearby pub as she insisted. We were talking and giggling about what had been happening in our lives. However, I didn’t mention the twins yet.

Lilac got a degree in fine arts and is working at a

famous museum in the City. Jace proposed marriage to her earlier this year and gave her a diamond ring. However, her eyes held sadness and pain I never noticed earlier as we were too engrossed in our stories. I held her hand gently. She shook her head as if wanting
