He’s an Alpha She doesn’t Care novel Chapter 63

Wynta

She stood in her office looking at those flowers and wondered just what to do with them, as she readied herself to leave the office for the day. She’d had no choice but to accept them into her office, but that didn’t mean she was going to keep them. She also didn’t want to be seen walking with them outside the building, even if it was just to dump them in a bin out the front of the office building for Nolan’s men to see, and report to him that she had rejected his flowers.

Why he thought she would accept them, was beyond her. She wondered if he’d forgotten all he’d done to her. Or if he just thought because he was Alpha–blooded, and her ex, she would smile and swoon, appreciate the gesture, think he was ready to accept her as his Mate, say all was forgiven for a bunch of flowers and a dinner. He should have learned from her leaving that pack all those years ago that she wasn’t going to be waiting around for him to change his mind, and decide if he wanted her or not.

She didn’t want the flowers on her desk either, she didn’t want anything to remind her of him, and she was still standing there debating with herself whether tossing them in the nearest bin was a complete waste of perfectly good flowers? They were lovely, she could admit that even if she didn’t want them, but to put them in a bin?

It kind of bothered her. Surely there was something better to be done with them. They had been picked and displayed with care. Someone had worked hard to make them look like that. She turned and looked at the sound of a light knocking on her door and saw Tallah walk into her office. “You should clear your glass. It’s not normal for you to have it frosted over, kind of looks like you’re still mad.”

Wynta nodded as she looked at her, then she walked over and pressed the button and the glass un–frosted, and all out there on the marketing floor could see into her office once more. Though half the floor was now empty. “Did you tell Dwane everything that happened?”

“Hmm, I did.” Tallah nodded. “But he texted me first to ask what was going on in the department. He found out from someone else before coming to me. All I did was tell him what I heard; what Rochelle said was wrong, and I knew it was her that started the rumors here in the office,

“I also know she was very close with Jamie, and they often gossiped like that together.” She shook her head. “Why do people need to do that, drag others down? To be honest with you, Wynta,” Tallah leaned on her desk and looked right at her for a long moment.

“I was kind of surprised at what I saw. Jared Hayes kissing you like that, as was everyone, but to be completely honest with you, a part of me thought it was very sweet. I actually sat and openly watched with curiosity. It looked very real to me the way he touched your face, the way he kissed you and pulled you up from that chair. It was almost as if…, he couldn’t not do it,” she shook her head a little. “I was convinced you two were a couple and this was his way of outing it to everyone… I also thought you two actually look good together.” she sighed now. “Pity, it was all just some drunken dare.”

Wynta raised an eyebrow at her and Tallah chuckled softly. “He’s handsome, and the way it happened, he was smiling before he did that, smiling when he walked from your office, he actually looked happy to me. It kind of made my heart flutter to see that; you never date, I’ve never so much as seen you look at anyone. I’ve known you for five years, I also know Mr Hayes… Edward Hayes holds a special, if not weird, place for you. I don’t really understand that, but I think that man would love to see you and his son together. Maybe that’s why he brought Jared home finally.”

Wynta frowned at her now and then shook her head. “He was brought home to attend his brother’s wedding, a mandatory family function is all.”

“Hmm, well, I was kind of hoping it was real. Your words about how it happened today,” she sighed. “Made me more than mad. I never saw him as the type of man to do that, but then when I thought about your words, I realized he is more than wealthy, he’s also arrogant and likely used to doing as he pleases, and getting away with it.” She sighed a little, “You, on the other hand, don’t really take crap.” She chuckled. “I bet he wasn’t expecting you to just dump his ass in it. Likely never had anyone do that to him before.” She smiled. “Got some balls on you.”

“Hmm, been walked on before and didn’t like it back then, not going to stand for it now.” she nodded.

“Are the flowers from Jared Hayes?” she asked. “An apology?”

“No, my ex. The one that walked on me, apparently he’s in town and wants to have dinner.” She rolled her eyes.

“I never knew you had a boyfriend. How long ago did you break up?” Tallah asked. “Recent or old, if recent you kept that a secret.”

“Over a decade ago.” She shrugged it off.

“What! And he just suddenly turns up and wants to have dinner.” Tallah frowned, her brows knitting together.

“Hmm, odd.” She agreed.

“Nice flowers though,” Tallah stated as she looked at them.

“You can have them if you like them. I was debating just tossing them out,” Wynta told her honestly.

It was nice to see and know that she and her team could still get along, like they had prior to Jared kissing her, and setting off all the gossip within the office. She could smell many wolves inside this restaurant, and she was certain it was just the staff, seeing as it was owned and run by Edward’s pack, likely one of his own pack members was the head chef.

She also saw Kyan and another wolf sitting at the bar. He nodded to her ever so slightly, and she understood they were the two trailing her, though she didn’t pick up wolfen from them. Were scent masked she thought to herself. Which could possibly mean Nolan had wolves here as well.

She chuckled at Tallah’s half drunken state as they walked out of the restaurant, and she grabbed onto her to stop her from tripping over, waved everyone off and told them she’d see her home. They could all rib her in the morning when she turned up with a hangover.

She was standing outside watching everyone leave. As their direct supervisor, it was always just something she did; make sure they got in a taxi or their own car and headed off safely. She looked at Tallah when she suddenly giggled softly next to her. “What?” Wynta half smiled at her.

“I thinks, you’ve got a stalker.” She giggled and pointed down the street. “Though I thinks his friend is dreamy.” She half whispered.

Wynta turned and looked down the street and sighed to herself, as she saw Jared and Dwane walking this way at a casual stroll.

“I’d be careful what you say,” Wynta told her as she straightened the woman up a bit from leaning on her.

“Why? does you thinks, he can hears me?” she chuckled, a slight slur to her words, “From ways down there.”

Wynta’s eyes moved to Dwane and one corner of his mouth was quirked up, so yes, he could hear what Tallah was saying about him. “Do you think the boss will take me home?” Tallah half whispered, and then leaned into Wynta and chuckled.

“Anything is possible.” Wynta murmured and grabbed onto her. “You’ve had way too much to drink.” She sighed, all those glasses of wine were starting to catch up with her, it seemed.
