Chapter 77 Audrey
1 blinked, taken aback by Mr. Black's question. “L. I'm not sure Lunderstand,” I stammered, leaning forward in my chair to peer at my open portfolio. "My portfolio showcases my best work, but I also have other accomplishments. I've won several design competitions, including the Brooks Designs fashion show and the Grayspring uniform design contest, and that was just this semester. Last year, I also interned with-" Mr. Black waved his hand dismissively, cuting me off mid-sentence. "That's not what I meant, Miss Thatcher. Your portfolio is... adequate. I suppose. But it's hardly impressive by industry standards. And let's be honest, you're a human. Working with you might not look good for my company
I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry. The way he said human made it sound like a dirty word. "I don't understand..."
He leaned forward, his eyes glinting with a predatory gleam that made my skin crawl. "Perhaps you should do some research on how humans and half-bloods typically get jobs in this industry. It's not just based on merits, you know. It's more.. hands-on"
As he spoke, his cold eyes flicked over my body-ultimately coming to rest on my cleavage, which was just barely poking out through the top of my shirt.

"Come now, Miss Thatcher," Mr. Black said, still eyeing me huskily. "Everyone knows that human girls are desperate to be with wealthy, older werewolf men such as myself. And if your thesis is so important to you, don't you want to do anything you can to get ahead?"
Rising from my chair so abruptly that it scraped loudly against the floor, I shot Mr. Black a disgusted look.

"You're a pig," I spat, snatching my portfolio off his desk. My hands were shaking with rage. "I wouldn't work with you if it was the last job on earth"
I stormed out of his office without another word, slamming the door behind me with enough force to rattle the frosted glass in its frame. The receptionist looked up from behind her desk, startled, but I didn't stop to explain.
Thankfully, Mr. Black didn't follow me. Striding down the hall, jabbed the elevator button repeatedly, desperate to get out of there, to breathe air that wasn't tainted by that disgusting mans presence.
When I finally burst out of the building a few minutes later, gulping in fresh air in an attempt to steady my reeling nerves, I was surprised to see that Edwin's car was still parked at the curb He hadn't left. He had waited for me.
