The following day, I woke up and got to work like usual. My day was surprisingly going well, until late afternoon when Axel called. I didn’t plan to answer his call but was too preoccupied to check the caller ID when I picked it up.
“You’re off work today, right?” I jumped, hearing his voice. “Jena’s getting discharged today. Come pick us up from the hospital.”
I scoffed, wondering how much of a pushover he saw me as.
“I’m busy doing errands for the Alpha. I don’t have time for detours,” I lied. I was done with those earlier so I’ve got the rest of the day free, but there was no way I would waste my time chauffeuring for them.
“Then, it’s perfect timing. You’ll return to the pack mansion anyway, so come get us on the way,” he shamelessly insisted.
How stubborn. Talking with him gave me headaches.
“I’m not going. Call someone else or take a cab. I don’t care. Figure it out,” I said and hung up.
While grumbling about how my day had just been ruined, a colleague cautiously approached me.
“Diana, wanna grab a few drinks at the pub?”
I used to decline these invitations because I was crazy trying to get Axel’s attention.
But to hell with him! I’m going to enjoy myself tonight!
