Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 12

I looked down at Chole, my eyes cold and sharp. She looked so smug in my chair, like she owned it all.

“Why do you think you’re so special, Chole?” I asked quietly. “Is it because you were too stupid to beat me at the Sil- ver Moon Toss? Or because you managed to pick up the man I dumped? Or maybe it’s because you got the job I didn’ t want anymore?”

Her smile faded a little. I kept going, calm and slow. “We’re not the same and you don’t know me,” I said. “You and Ethan, you go well together. You can have each other.”

My voice was even, but the bite in it was clear. I saw her eyes flash with fury. She pushed herself up from the chair and bared her teeth, her wolf showing in the sharpness of her gaze.

“Shut your mouth, Olivia,” she hissed as came closer. “I’ll tear you apart myself if I have to.”

“I’m done here,” I said simply. “Watch how you destroy the Hawthrone Group. I’ll be watching too.” I turned and walked out the door, not bothering to look back.

I could hear her behind me, her voice shaking with rage. “I won’t leave you alone, Olivia! You’re going to pay for

this!”

Let her try. I didn’t care anymore.

A few minutes after I left the office, Lily caught up to me. She looked flustered, her eyes darting nervously around the hallway. “Ms Olivia,” she said softly, holding out a small stack of things she’d pulled from the wastebasket. “I thought you’d want these back.”

My heart warmed a little. I took them from her hands and nodded. “Thank you, Lily.”

The project team walked me to the elevator. Lily stayed close, her hand brushing my elbow in quiet support.
