The Were CEO's Secret

Chapter Fifty-Two - Befriending my stalker.

Stephanie walked around the grocery shop without purpose, not seeing anything she'd like to buy. She just left the house for air.

She received a text from her mom. "Darling! *wink emoji*"

Whenever her mom did it, there was premium gossip coming or something unusual happened.

Last time it happened was when she was at high school and some boy had claimed to be her boyfriend.

Her mother had been flustered but then the boy left before she returned so she had been quite disappointed. He left saying it was an accident.

Stephanie smiled at the memories, her dad had said he wished he saw the boy and break his head for playing like that.

She had added that the boy may've seen her father's picture and didn't want anything to do with a soldier's daughter. Her father agreed.

Those were times her father agreed with any thing she wanted and thought was right. Not now, he's blinded by prejudice.

Stephanie paused her train of thoughts as she cornered to her street and a shadow followed her. "Someone is following me."

Backing out from her street, she followed a lonely street she knew had stray dogs, stray dogs that were loyal to her. If her stalker tried rubbish, he'd die.

"Who are you?" She asked, after getting into the lonely street, the dogs were creeping out from their hideouts.

It was a man in a tuxedo jacket, and a mask on. He placed his hands in his waist. "This awfully clever, only I'm a werewolf and dogs fear me."

Stephanie went back as he advanced towards her. The stray dogs went back to their hideouts. She didn't blame them, his aura made her want to hide too. "Who are you? Please don't kill me." she pleaded, crouching.

"Kill you?" the man tore his mask from his face. "Nathan would destroy me." He chuckled. His orange eyes changed to brown, he stepped back.

Stephanie stood straight. She was looking at a handsome six foot one guy, he had a tanned skin and his body showed be worked out a lot.

She hadn't seen him before, and he didn't look like some crush stalking her. She'd be kinda really glad if he was.

"I don't know you." She declared. "So why are you following me?"

"Cos I know you and I want you to feel insecure. That's just my aim." He rubbed his hands.

Stephanie rolled her eyes. "I feel very insecure. Happy? But I won't hate you. You're kinda cute and you beat up Cherry. I'm grateful."

He chuckled at her confession. "Beating her was more for my mate than for you. Or maybe it was for everyone Cherry ever hurt."

He moved towards Stephanie, she went back, he paused his steps. "I'm Jarma. I had wanted to shake hands."

Stephanie cocked her head. Was she making friends with her stalker? "You've been stalking me and don't know my name? I'm Stephanie."

Jarma nodded satisfactorily. "I haven't been stalking you for long but whatever. I need you for something. It's not hard to do. Just don't tell Nathan okay?" He put his mask in his pockets.

She nodded. "Okay what's that?" She was more at ease since the man seemed to fear Nathan.

Nathan hadn't spoken about the tuxedo man like someone he could subdue, perhaps he made an intimidating impression the first time they met.

"I need the schedule of Garcia Carlos. For this whole week only. I'm not a fan or anything. I just need it." He requested, calmly.

Stephanie frowned, he wasn't a fan of Garcia then why need it? She cleared her throat. "You won't hurt her, right?"

Jarma shook his head. "Hurt her? Why should I? I've never thought of that honestly, just help me with it."

Stephanie stretched her hand to shake. "Since you seem not to be my enemy, I'd give it to you." Jarma took her hand and they shook.

Stephanie bent her head to look for a pen and paper. Honestly, she didn't care if the man was going to hurt Garcia. It'd be good if he did. She handed him a pen and book. "Write your email. I'm a secretary. I'd find it and send you a copy for this week and next." Jarma shook his head, "Only for this week please. Someone else would have this shift by next week and he shouldn't have her schedule." Stephanie shrugged. He handed it back to her and soon he left. The stray dogs peeked from the hideouts again whimpering.

Stephanie was sure Jarma was a wolf. What rank was orange colored eyes? She never really got the werewolf rank system. Maybe Beta?

She pushed her meeting with him behind her head. She won't tell Nathan about it so he won't worry about giving a stranger Garcia's schedule. Low-key, she hoped to see Jarma again. She hurried home to engage in her mother's gossip and make her point clearer with her dad.

She met her dad eating oats and milk which wasn't home when she left. Her mother rushed to her and whispered. "Your boyfriend visited."

A gag nearly escaped her throat. Her mind immediately went to Nathan, he really knew how to piss her off. "You mean Nathan?"

"Yeah, your dad likes him. He doesn't know he's your boss though." Her mother added, taking the things she bought from the grocery. "Mom, Nathan and I aren't really dating, okay?" She whispered. Her mother pouted.

"And don't tell dad, alright?" she added. Her mother nodded.

"Hey, dad!" Stephanie sat down besides him, he was in a good mood and she didn't want to ruin it. "You met Nathan, my boyfriend?" Hearing her self call Nathan boyfriend made her want to pull her hairs out. That guy really put her in a dead end.

"Yeah, he brought gifts as well. He's a smart, nice, and very handsome lad. And he said your company is good, so I'd accept it's good."

Nathan could convince her father to acceptance and she couldn't. What kind of brain did he use? Was he aware that if he had said he was the boss of the company, her dad would have picked him and thrown him out? "Thanks, dad. My company was really okay. You just needed someone to confirm." She faked a smile. "I'm glad you've confirmed."

Her father sighed. "It's not like that, it's just I don't trust werewolves around my daughter. Your boss could be manipulative, you know?" Stephanie exhaled. "I know dad, I'm careful and I'd be more careful." She left him and hurried to the kitchen where her sisters were.

Lacy had a questioning kook. "I don't get it. Isn't Nathan your boss? Why does dad like him but hate your Boss?" She opened her hands. Stephanie placed a finger on her lips. "Lacy, we're pranking daddy. Okay?". She grinned.

Macy tugged at Stephanie till she looked at her.

"Well, I'm confused on how you're dating Nathan? It's too fast paced, this love story." She groaned.

"Cos It's not real. We're pranking his friends." Stephanie grunted, scratching her hair. The amount of pranking she was doing with Nathan was killing her.

"Oh, well, good night." She marched to her room to give Jarma the schedule.

Her mother was in the twins in the kitchen. The twins had been staying there, watching things quietly, since their dad arrived.

"Nathan might not be really dating Stephanie. But I think he wants to." Mrs. Ernest told them, a pout on her lips.

"Let's make it real then. The perfect match making!" Macy yelped.

Lacy tapped her to keep her voice down. "Nathan is a cool guy. Let's do it."

They fist bumped with their mom and the little girls went to plan something lovely.
