When Tara saw me, she immediately put down her phone. "Taya, what can I do for you?" I didn't bother to beat around the bush. "Ms. Thorin, didn't you say that you would approve my resignation as soon as you got back to the office? Why hasn't it been approved yet?" Tara glanced at her cell phone and looked a little impatient. "You offended Margaret. She decided to go around to everyone and tell them not to take over any of your projects. She said you have so much information about the partner, and it would be impossible for one of them to learn it all on top of their other work. So now we have to wait until we find someone to replace you, and then I can approve your resignation." I narrowed my eyes. Tara was the CEO. She could tell anyone to do anything; Margaret had no power at all compared to Tara. It was apparent that she was deliberately delaying my departure. I couldn't understand what Tara was thinking. Why was she making things difficult for me? "Ms. Thorin, I have something urgent to deal with, and it's imperative that I'm able to resign immediately. Everything had already been agreed to." Tara put her palms together and placed her elbows on her desk. She looked up at me. "What is so urgent?" Just as I was about to tell her that I was terminally ill and did not have the strength to work, I saw the disdain in Tara's eyes.
When I remained silent, Tara sneered. "Margaret toldthat you wanted to marry into a rich and powerful pack, but I didn't believe it. You're just a human. I didn't expect that you would climb into Alpha Sterling's bed just because I asked you to pick him up from the airport yesterday. It seems you move quickly..." Tara paused momentarily and lookedup and down, a sarcastic look on her face. "Taya, you're pretty, but it'll be more than a little difficult for you to mate into a powerful pack."
