The Alpha’s Human Mate

Ellie! Christina called. She was having doubts if it was her because she only saw the side of her face, but when Ellie turned back to face her, she was happy and at the same time surprised to see her.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Ellie, who was still standing in the same position in shock, was not expecting to see Christina. She has been praying in her mind not to see anyone she knows, especially her mother, who will only cause a scene if she sees Alex. “Oh my goodness! How do I explain this?” She thought.

Christina walked up to them, but before she could hug Ellie, a huge, tall man blocked her from touching her and pushed her away a little. “She’s my friend.” Ellie said, looking at the man before looking back at Alex. “Please.”

Alex gave the man a sign, and the man stepped away from them. Christina was about to hug Ellie and shout in excitement, but she composed herself and bowed to the man. “Good day, Mr. Warren; I’m so happy to see you.” Christina said with a smile before winking at Ellie, who was panicking about the truth of her pregnancy revelation.

“Good day, Ms.?” Alex said.

“Christina. The name is Christina Jones.” She said with a smile.

“OK, Ms. Jones.” Alex said. He was looking at the way the girl was talking and smiling at Ellie. He also noticed how Ellie’s expression changed from sullenness to happiness. Then suddenly, an idea clicked in his head. “Ms. Jones, if you don’t mind, you can join us for lunch.” Alex said, smiling at Ellie, who was glaring at him in shock.

“Oh! Of course.” Christina also replied with a broad smile. Ellie looked at Christina, who was just grinning, before looking back at Alex.

“Alex, don’t you have something important to do?” Ellie asked with a half-smile. She didn’t realize she had called him by his name for the first time in his presence, especially in front of everyone. Alex was also surprised; he never knew his name could sound so sweet in her mouth that he couldn’t even help but grin from ear to ear. He wanted to tell her to say it again, but because of her friend, he left it for later.

“You know I’m not busy right now, or don’t you want me to have lunch with you and your friend?” Alex asked with a provoking smile. He knew there was no way she would reject him in front of her friend.

Ellie sighed and looked at Christina, who was also looking at her like a lost dog. She sighed again and said with a weak voice, “Let’s go.”

Christina was so happy to finally be able to meet the CEO of Warren Corporation and to eat with him; she was also surprised to hear Ellie call him Alex without any honorifics. “I guess they’re now dating. Oh my goodness, I can’t believe this.” Christina thought, patting her face, which had become red because of her blushing.

They got into the car. Alex and Ellie sat in the back while Christina sat in the front, beside the driver, grinning. Ellie was so angry at the same time, scared of Christina finding out why she had to resign from her previous work. She knew that Christina would never forgive her if she found out from another person.

Ellie kept looking through the window till the car finally stopped in front of a restaurant. They entered the big restaurant, which Ellie recognized as the one Alex brought her to the first time he gave her a contract to sign. A woman walked up to them and directed them towards a VIP room.

They sat down, and some people came in with a lot of food. “Thank you so much for inviting me to join you, sir,” Christina said with a smile, looking at the food on the table that made her mouth water.

“It’s fine, Ms. Jones,” Alex replied. Ellie, who had been quiet since they got there, looked up to Alex. She stared deep into his eyes, trying to find out what he was trying to do. She knew that he was up to something. “Does he want to tell her about my pregnancy?” She asked herself.

Alex looked at Ellie with a smile. “Please, let’s eat now.” He intentionally asked Christina to lunch because he didn’t want Ellie to go anywhere after their shopping. He had been looking for a way to break his promise of her going to her friend, and he was thankful the opportunity came. He will do anything to keep her away from danger, even if it means keeping an eye on her every second.

After they finished eating and having dessert, Alex kept asking Christina questions about Ellie and how they met, and he kept teasing Ellie occasionally, even though she wasn’t finding him funny. “I never knew he was such a talkative person,” Ellie thought.

They finally finished their food and walk out of the restaurant to leave. “Thank you so much, sir; I really appreciate it.”

“I told you it’s fine, Ms. Jones. Where are you living? My driver will drop you off at home.”

“No, it’s fine; I’ll just take a cab.” Christina replied and turned to Ellie with a smile. “I’ll call you.” She said and left, but not before giving her a wink, which Ellie totally understood.

Ellie also bid her goodbye and turned to Alex after she had gone. “OK, so I guess the driver can drop me at my friend’s house now.” She said, only to find Alex bursting into laughter.

“Friend? Didn’t you just see your friend? You even get to have lunch with her.” Alex said.

“Yes, but I told you I was going out to see a friend,” Ellie also replied with a confused expression.

“Which you already saw, bunny.” He said, taking a step towards her. He was teasing her with the name at the same time, provoking her.

But Ellie did not pay attention to his teasing. Instead, she said, “It seems like you don’t understand what I’m talking about. I was supposed to go out to see a friend this morning before you dragged me here, and now that we’re done here, I should go.”

“Isn’t Ms. Jones your friend?” He asked.

“She is,” Ellie replied with the same confused expression.

“Then you’ve seen your friend. Or were you planning to meet another person? Could it be your nurse friend who gave you abortion pills?” He asked with a teasing smile.

“That’s none of your business.” She said, gritting her teeth in anger.

“Well. I’ll let you go only if you allow me to follow you, and if you don’t want to, we can just go home together.” Alex said with a smile.

Ellie didn’t say anything; she was just staring at him in anger. “This was all his plan when he asked Christina for lunch. Oh my goodness, why do I have to meet this psychopath?”She thought, running her hand into her hair with a frustrated look.

She sighed and opened the backseat door to enter. “Let’s go home.” She said. She knew arguing with him would only do nothing more than waste her energy, so she decided to just leave him alone. “I need to find a way to get out of this mess.” She thought.
