He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 34

Jared

Wynta clearly didn’t care that Jamie was getting fired. She didn’t even really seem that surprised that it was her either, just a simple nod and moved on. The girl didn’t really care about much, and he put that down to her being a rogue for so very long. If she’d had claws and a wolf she’d likely be out for blood herself.

Sharon from HR stepped out of the elevator that Wynta was waiting for herself. He watched. her get in, she didn’t even look at him, was looking at her phone, likely checking on where her taxi was.

He walked over to Jamie’s office and stepped inside. Right after Sharon did and closed the door, he didn’t bother to frost the window over, though he knew they all would at the push of a button. He was uncaring about what anyone made of this little scene. It was likely very clear, with two of the company’s CEOS and the head of HR in this room, that was never a good combination.

Jamie looked from him to Dwane and then to Sharon and stated, “What is this about?” Her defenses were up instantly.

“That security breach on Monday,” Jared stated. “We’ve traced it back to you. It’s taken all week long, but do you recall that a memo went out about what would happen to the one that allowed the security breach?”

“I do, is it one of my own team? Is that why you’re all here, am I going to have to go out there. and fire someone.”

“No, that breach was done by you,” Jared stated simply.

“I did not do anything like that. I’ve worked diligently for the past 10 years for this company and never caused one problem.” She shook her head. “Why would I do that, and just to have Wynta assaulted. She and I get along quite well.”

“Hmm, from what I saw of her reaction to me informing her it was you, I wouldn’t agree with that. She didn’t even look surprised it was you. Just the slightest of nod was all I got. Seems to me, you and her aren’t close.”

“She’s not close to anyone, but we get along just fine,” Jamie told him simply. “I did not do what you say I did.”

“Hmm, Dwane, have Lincoln send you the footage of this office and see if Ms Sullivan here was on the phone at the same time as Carlotti was downstairs in the foyer, right down to when she hung up. Did Jamie here hang up?

“On it.” Dwane nodded and placed a call to Lincoln.

He smiled at her, “We’ll wait, but I’d like to see your phone call long, on your personal phone.”

“You have no right to ask for that.” Jamie shook her head no.

“I don’t, legally, but if you have nothing to hide, then why say no? Why not offer that up as a of proving you’re innocent? That’s what I would do.” He shrugged.

“Get a warrant,” she stated. “I know my rights.”

“Hmm, I also know all the company policies about instant dismissal.” He smiled at her as he pulled out a phone that had been sitting in his office for four days now, unlocked for him to have full access to. He leaned on the wall. “Some days, Dwane, I need a triple espresso to plow through all the bullshit I hear.” He murmured as he scrolled through the phone and came to Jamie’s name. He’d gone through the phone before now, and seen that she and Carlotti had texted quite a bit, and seen that she’d given out Wynta’s number to Carlotti months back.

“Why don’t you like Wynta Morgan? I hear she’s hardworking and efficient,” Jared asked as he read her latest words to Carlotti about Wynta, who, in her opinion, was clearly sleeping with the boss, sleeping her way up the ladder. She’d gotten a promotion in record time, and she was always getting visits or calls from the CEO’s, whereas Jamie had worked her ass off for 10 years to get to where she was now. That Jared had picked her up for his brother’s wedding, and then she’d seen him in Wynta’s office, and bought her a dress and dropped it off himself.

“I never said I did,” Jamie stated. “You’re making things up.”

He nodded “I see. Calling your boss a liar to his face. You’ve got some balls, I’ll give you that. How do you know Carlotti?”

“I don’t. She struts through this office with her father and I play nice, she’s quite… vindictive, so everyone plays nice not to be on her bad side.”

“So, you’ve never called her or she you?” he asked now.

“No. Why would I?” She shook her head.

“I got it, Jared,” Dwane interrupted him and showed him the feed of the two cameras, both women on the phone at the same time, both hanging up within a moment of each other. Though he watched on as the footage showed Jamie getting up from her chair in this office. and leaning in her doorway, sipping on a coffee, to watch the show.

His eyes moved right towards her, and he shook his head and looked at the phone in his hand and hit dial. He saw her look about after a moment when her phone rang, then picked it up and glanced at the caller ID and went to dismiss it. “You might want to pick that up,” he told her, and turned the phone he had in his hand to face her. So, she could see it was him calling her number. “Carlotti’s phone.” He informed her with a smile.

He saw Dwane replay the footage for Jamie and then Sharon the head of HR, and she nodded. “Evidence enough.” She handed him a set of papers, “Instant dismissal for security breach.” She told him. “Do you want the honor?”

He smiled at her, “I do.” He nodded and walked over to the desk and leaned on it. “Jamie Sullivan, you are fired effective immediately for releasing to a non–employee, that there was going to be a full security system shut down of this floor at a specific time, which allowed that person to come here and assault a staff member during that time.

“I also just saw you standing in your doorway, waiting so you could watch it all happen.” He shook his head. “There will be no reference for this job, and anyone that calls will be informed of your breaching security protocols, and aiding and abetting assault in the work place. Pack your stuff and leave, you’ve got exactly 10 minutes.”

She was staring at him wide–eyed, not knowing what to say.

“Dwane and I will escort you from the building,” Jared stated, putting those papers on her desk and signing his name to them, and then turned and walked from her office. He looked at the marketing floor where many were looking at him, “Jamie Sullivain no longer works here, her position will be advertised on Monday. Any of you that would like a promotion may prepare and apply for it. We’ll promote from within,” he stated and walked over to sit himself on a vacant chair to wait for her to pack her things.

He texted his father that Jamie Sullivan was fired. He was waiting to escort her from the building. ‘Wynta son?’ came right back.

He shook his head, and Dwane chuckled from next to him. “I see that man has got one thing on the brain.”

“It does appear so.” Jared nodded and then sent to his father ‘She was informed, is currently off to have physio.”

They escorted Jamie from the building and there was a lot of chatter about it. He was unconcerned. Security checked her box of things and took her work ID. He looked at her and stated, “any severance owed will be paid with your next pay check.” Then turned and walked off.

His father called him that evening as he leaned on his balcony drinking a whiskey. His unit. were all there as well. They were actually barbecuing on his balcony. It was large and spacious, and it was a nice night for them.

“Now, son, you’ll be staying in the city, yes? For tomorrow’s full moon,” his father asked him.

“Yes, father, as will my entire unit, and I see what you’re trying to do. I can also actually pick up Wynta’s scent from here at my penthouse. She’s actually not that far as the crow flies. I will diligently stand outside with my unit, and we will all take a full breath in, to see if she is one of our Mates, just for you.” He smiled at his own words.

His unit all chuckled behind him. They knew he was annoying his old man, because Edward didn’t care if any of them were around to scent Wynta out, only himself. “Son!”

“What? Don’t they have the right to see if she’s one of their Mates as well?” he snorted. “Two can play old man.” He chuckled, and the line clicked closed. “Ticked him off, I think.” He snorted to his unit.

Though Saturday came, and they were all standing out there on his balcony with him, thought he was certain it was more mere curiosity for them as to if he would, none of them could actually scent her at all right now, and not once today had he been able to and the windows. had been open.

“I don’t think she’s been outside all day,” Dwane told him. “You’re going to have to get her to open her door.”

“She’s not going to,” Andy chuckled. “She knows Edward is trying to Mate her into the pack. Got her doors and windows closed.”

He sighed. “That’ll tick the old man off.” And he knew it would. His father was going to ring him a minute after the moon set to see what happened. He looked at his watch and ordered a pizza to be delivered to her home for just after the moon to set.

“She’ll see through that.” Dwane chuckled.

“It’s all I’m willing to do,” he stated, “Father can deal with her not opening a door.”

She didn’t open the door, and he huffed in annoyance. His father had called, and he’d told him he was waiting for that pizza man to deliver to her apartment, so she’d open the door. It was about 10 minutes away.

That came and went, and the pizza man called his number to let him know he was there.” Sorry man, I got called away family emergency, you keep it for yourself,” He’d stated and hung up. He’d stood there and thought about it and then muttered, “Come on, let’s take a stroll.” His phone was already ringing.

“We’re going.” He shot at his father and clicked the line closed.

They made their way to her apartment, and he knocked on the door, got nothing, stood and tuned his hearing into the room and still got nothing. “She’s not here.” he murmured.

They checked the office to see if she was at work, up on the 7th floor. She wasn’t there either. He leaned on her office door and shook his head, “Snuck away, likely not in the city is my guess,” he told his father when he called for the third time. “She’s not in her apartment or the office. I don’t know her number you call her. I’m going home for the night.” He heard his father mutter as he hung up and chuckled softly. “Let’s grab a beer, boys, we got a night off.”

“Unlikely Jared, he’s going to find out where she is, and call you back to go and get her. You know that right,” Andy snorted.

“I ain’t going. He can go if he’s that desperate.” Jared chuckled softly. Wynta had once again. beaten his father at his own game, it seemed, and it amused him more than a little. “21 to 0” he snorted, and his unit laughed as well.
