Chapter 131
Tara didn’t need to remind me of what I was lacking.
I had no wolf, I didn’t have a good education, and I certainly didn’t have a well-matched background or anything else to bring to a mating. Any pack, let alone a wealthy and powerful pack, wouldn’t have a reason for allowing me to mate into it.
Tara possessed both wisdom and beauty. Although she didn’t curse, she could pierce deep into a person’s inferiority-as she’d just done to me with only a few words.
My tone was flat as I responded. “Ms. Thorin, whether I want to marry into a wealthy pack or not is a different matter. Yes, you are my superior and the CEO of this company, but you can’t interfere in my private affairs, right?”
Tara didn’t expect me to dare to respond to her with anything other than subjugation. Her face darkened. “Of course, I don’t care. I’m just reminding you out of kindness. If you give up such a good job and go for it, don’t regret it and come back to Midwest Packs Corporation to cry.”
I didn’t say anything else. There was nothing to say. I’d gotten what I wanted. Part of me wanted to tell her there was no chance of me coming back to cry-seeing as I would be dead.
After Tara approved my resignation paperwork, I would find Lila to hand off my projects and leave as soon as possible.
Apparently, Tara had other plans. “Taya, I’ll approve your resignation, but not right now.”
I frowned, confused. “What do you mean?”
Tara sighed. “The Midwest Packs Corporation branch development in Wolverly Capital isn’t going as well as we’d hoped. The Sterling pack is powerful there and could help with getting things running smoothly. We need the Sterling pack to encourage the local packs there to cooperate with the proper procedures, but they have never given us any help. Now that you have Alpha Sterling’s attention, I hope you can stay.”
Once again, I was useful, ever the little human pawn.
Tara wouldn’t approve my resignation paperwork until I gave her what she wanted.
It was a pity that Tara had made such a mist
