The Were CEO's Secret

Chapter Thirty-Four - Burdened.

At the top of a building, opposite to Pure Silver Company, a man on black outfits with a tuxedo jackets stood, peeking down at the passersby. He swirled his knife, up and down, keeping track of how many people went in and out from the fashion company. "Sixty, average" he muttered. Garcia and Reina walked out of the company, he moved closer to have a clearer look at them. They were the ones he had been following.

He had thought they'd never come out from the company, that maybe somehow they noticed he was following them as he had been a bit close. "You took long." Garcia scolded a worker who ran out of the company to hand her the new schedule.

"Okay, thank you." She patted the worker and got into the car with Reina. Seconds later, their Lamborghini drove off.

The man replaced his knife in his boots. "I'd get you back." He flew down the building, got into his motorbike and began following the Lambo.

Stephanie folded the third sheet of paper and tossed it inside the trash bin. Someone knocked on her door. "Come in, please."

When Nathan came in, she sighed with exasperation. "Good thing you're here. I have trouble writing this letter of acceptance to someone who applied for a job." Nathan took it and in few minutes, placed it back. "Reject. The person's CV doesn't have suitable experience and has lots of gaps." Stephanie frowned. "My own CV had lots of gaps too. Didn't you employ me?"

Nathan smiled, resting on her table. "You are a special case. As I said, I'm on a mission to keep you safe so you need to be close." Stephanie exhaled. "Fine. At least no need to write an acceptance letter." Nathan nodded at her words.

"So why did you come here? Chit-chat?" She brought out another file and began reading it.

"Oh, I wanted to know if the weakness you felt in your knees had wear off?"

She nodded. "The moment you stopped whatever you were doing. They stopped shaking. But how come no one ever noticed your aura?" "No one pays much attention. Also, they'd believe being in a werewolf family made me tougher." He shrugged.

Stephanie listened in fascination. "It must be really cool having a dead serious aura then a 'mommy, help me' aura. That's duality."

Nathan chuckled. "It's good to have both, they are many wolves here. Since they assume I'm human, they'd want to be stubborn to me."

Stephanie stayed quiet for a while, she closed the file she's with and looked at Nathan's eyes. "I've been wondering. Does your family know you're... different? Nathan stood up from the table. "Stephanie, it's good to be curious but don't be too curious."

She stood up with him and stayed besides him. "Hey, I'm on your side, right? I just need to know who I'm protecting you from. Family too?"

Nathan agreed. "If my sister knew, like everyone who had known, she'd kill me herself."

It was a really big thing then. Stephanie went back to her seat. She didn't feel so curious to know it anymore.

Maybe Nathan was right about not telling her exactly what he was, it'd only put her in trouble. His word replayed in her head.

"Like everyone who'd known tried to kill you? Leaving you alone from your kind? Everyone?"

"They didn't succeed in killing me but yeah." He turned to her. "Don't fret, I'm not some bad omen. Just not common around here."

Stephanie shrugged. "You don't have a dangerous vibe to you, unless when you do that aura stuff but I know werewolves are worst."

Nathan left after that and Stephanie felt more burdened with his secret, it wasn't like she knew what he was. But it surely wasn't easy being it.

Just the knowledge on him being different than human or werewolf stunned her and kept her on edge. But she didn't regret, much.

He had given her a job, taken care of her when she was sick and saved her sister. She could just keep this one secret.

She cleared everything on her desk within the next two hours, trying not to let Nathan's secret take her time. "Done for today!" she yelped.

Her job as a secretary was becoming more real after Ashley left, the lady had been doing a lot of work for her.

As she got up from her chair to stretch, flashes of her dreams with the dead girl came to her. She began breathing heavily.

"A girl who her mother tried killing? How did she give the girl the exact scar on Nathan? Why was she killing her?" Stephanie pondered.

She stopped her stretching. Nathan had said everyone who knew his secret had tried killing him. But he survived, just like that girl.

And the scar may be a coincidence but perhaps the girl has some connection with Nathan. And if she has a connection to Nathan then that must be why she had those dreams. Maybe something was telling her to save the girl from being killed just like Nathan had nearly been killed.

"Damn my theories." She smirked. She might be wrong in some places but her theory made sense. Nathan didn't seem like he wanted to open up much so she only had her theories. If her theory were true, why hadn't she gotten answer on where the girl was to save her.

"Oh, well!" she exhaled and left her office for a break. She'd need some food before she'd fall.

"I really think it looks good on you. What am I saying? Everything looks good on you!" A high pitched laughter erupted from Nathan's office.

Stephanie placed her ears on the door.

"Well, thanks." Nathan said.

The laughter turned to coos. "Anytime, honey. You know, now I'm in the country, we can go on a date sometime. What do you think?"

Nathan sighed. "Mica, I'm busy. Your cousin, Garcia, can show you around when you want."

Stephanie gagged.

It seemed to her that Garcia and her cousin were indeed apples from the same tree. Pushing themselves on men that didn't want them. She wondered if Garcia knew her cousin also wanted her Nathan. It'd be really fun watching them fight over him, when he wanted neither. "Garcia texted me that she had a busy schedule and that I shouldn't even come into the country but I came for you, not her." The lady leered. Stephanie was becoming irritated and uncomfortable. She threw the door open. Nathan flinched from the bang, he studied Stephanie. "Damn." she whispered to herself. What's wrong with her? Why did she intrude on them like that. It wasn't her business.

"Oh, I was wondering who you are. You didn't stop at my table before meeting my boss. Do you know her, boss?" she covered up. Nathan looked at Mica, then Stephanie. "Don't worry, she's a friend."

Mica smiled, contently. "Yes, I am."

Stephanie wasn't glad with the answer but she accepted it and closed the door, leaving them.

Nathan smirked. "Was that jealousy in your Stephanie or she was being overly protective of us?" He muttered to Keon.

Keon replied. "Stephanie is closer to us but for her to feel jealous, she has to be in love with us, she isn't. So she was just being protective." Nathan shrugged. That was still a huge progress.
