Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Back to Work

Caroline’s POV

On the way to Thorne Enterprises, Draven remained mostly silent. He kept glancing at me nervously.

I was the one who should have been anxious, but one of us needed to stay calm.

I took his hand in mine. "Draven, why are you so nervous?"

Draven lifted my hand to his lips and kissed it softly. "Carrie, I’m just excited. I’m so happy you finally decided to come back to work with me."

I smiled at him. "If that’s why you’re nervous, maybe you should focus on how I can help you catch the bad guys when I get back."

Draven pulled into the company parking lot, then turned to me with a serious expression. "Caroline, I know you faced unfair treatment at my company before. The fact that you’re determined to come back for my sake really touches me. I’m nervous because I’m afraid I won’t be able to give you what you want. Eleanor mentioned that you wanted your own career. I feel like I’m pulling you away from the work you were familiar with at Puma Global to come back to me. I just..."

I placed my hand over his mouth to stop him. "Draven, this isn’t entirely for you, though you’re definitely the most important part.I talked with Joseph, and he explained the benefits of working at your company. It will help me too. Besides..."

I trailed off, my cheeks flushing."If I’m going to be your Luna, wouldn’t helping you manage the pack and the company be part of my responsibilities?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

My words made Draven pull me into an excited embrace."Caroline, you’re perfect."

As we walked into the building, Draven had Ryan gather everyone in the executive reception to announce I was coming back.The renovations Ava finished Friday looked incredible. She really had talent for design. I couldn’t wait to see everything and hoped I’d love it.

As the elevator ascended, my hands grew cold and trembling. When the doors opened on our floor, Draven gave my hand a gentle squeeze, trying to comfort me.

A small group of employees who worked in the executive suite had gathered. When they saw me, they applauded and showed how happy they were to see me back. All except one person. Linda couldn’t even hide her anger. She glared at me with pure hatred while everyone else rushed forward to greet me with hugs and warm welcomes.

After everyone’s greetings, it was time for some explanation, even if it wasn’t the whole truth.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Draven began, "thank you for giving Ms. Caroline such a warm welcome back. I know you all heard about confidential information being leaked from Caroline’s computer, which led to her dismissal. However, our IT department investigated and discovered that she wasn’t responsible. They concluded that her computer was remotely hacked, and the information was leaked by someone else we haven’t identified yet. What matters now is that Caroline is back; she’s an essential part of this company. And since I know you’ve noticed our closeness," he said, raising our joined hands, "I’d like to inform you that this beautiful woman has forgiven me for being so rude to her, and we’re dating. We’ll be married soon!"

Everyone applauded and congratulated us. Kyle and Ryan whistled while Ava shouted "long live the couple!" I felt my face flush red as I smiled shyly. As the employees dispersed after congratulating us, only Ryan, Kyle, Ava, and Linda remained.

"Aren’t you going to greet me, Linda?" I asked, smiling at that venomous snake. I knew I was provoking her.
