Chapter 43
This time I hung up without hesitation.
“Going on a trip?”
Garrett Wylder’s magnetic voice reached my ears.
I instinctively turned my head and answered without much thought: “Yes.”
“Where to?”
“Iceland.”
Asking in such detail, he must be bored and looking for conversation.
I thought that would be the end of it, but he added another comment: “That’s quite far.”
“…Ah, yes, yes it is, indeed far.”
I quickly nodded in agreement.
“Was this trip planned long ago, or a last–minute
Garrett Wylder asked casually, his tone even carrying a hint of friendliness.
I went along with him: “Of course it was planned long a-”
Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly stopped, my brain feeling like someone had struck it hard–I had just applied for a job with him not long ago! Someone who had long planned to travel applying for a job with him–wasn’t this slapping myself in the face?
My expression immediately became awkward, desperately pleading with my eyes for him not to remember.
But that hint of friendliness that had just emerged on his face dispersed as quickly as morning mist, clearly telling me: he remembered!
No! He had dug the trap long ago, just waiting for me to jump in!
Just as I was at my wit’s end, Clay, sitting in the passenger seat, actually added fuel to the fire: “So Miss Elara, are you giving up
on
the job application?”
” 11”
I almost wanted to kneel before him. Embarrassed and with a hint of grievance, I explained in a small voice: “Originally, if the job application had been successful, I would have canceled the travel plan. But Alpha, you… rejected me.”
To be honest, I had indeed planned this before. The trip was to relax, but if I could get the chief secretary position, I would definitely adjust my
arrangements.
“What if I changed my mind?”
Garrett Wylder spoke slowly, composed and serious.
My heart panicked, “You mean… I’m hired?”
Now? When I was about to go to the airport and take off?
Garrett Wylder didn’t answer directly, instead curving his lips in an amused smile: “Weren’t you going to travel?”
…But I haven’t taken off yet!!
“The trip can be canceled, I can start work anytime.”
I Dumped My Alpha… Now He’s on His Knees

Timmediately sat up straighter. If I didn’t seize this opportunity, I’d really be a fool.
Anytime?”
Anytime!
My gaze was firm, my tone décisive.
“I was just saying Iceland is too far.”
Garrett Wylder’s lips curved upward, his smile growing richer.
He gave Clay a look. Clay understood immediately and chimed in: “Miss Elara, if you could start today, that would be wonderful. Once we board the plane, I’ll tell you about this business trip’s itinerary.”
Though it was a bit surreal, my adaptability was quite strong, “Alright, we still have some time before reaching the airport, why don’t you tell me
now.”
Clay chuckled, “No need to be so urgent.”
I nodded.
At this moment, my silenced phone showed several

ore missed calls. Looking down, I saw Alice had called too.
“Alpha Rowan found out your flight information, he’s rushing to the airport now.”
Her tone was urgent, almost shouting.
