The Were CEO’s Secret

Stephanie bowed at the driver, Whistle, handing him some doughnuts she had bought outside the hospital. He was staying all night since Nathan was sick, he’d need enough food.

“Thank you, Stephanie. And I hope you liked the ride?” he winked at her.

Stephanie nodded, chuckling, “Yes, I did, very much. Thanks. Drive back safely”.

She waved till he had zoomed past her eyes could see. It had been her first ride in a Lamborghini. It was fast and had a cool interior but she had seen cooler exteriors.

She strolled into the company, stopping to grab water from the dispenser before strolling on. She had new workload of research, she regretted visiting that man.

“Stephanie!”.

Stephanie froze at the spot. Was that a growl? She slowly turned, her teeth almost chattering. She swept her red hair strands back to get a clear look at who called.

Her shoulders slumped. It was that Garcia again. She wasn’t wearing model’s attire so she may not be here for a shoot or was already done. Her white boots did look classy.

“Stephanie Luisa Ernest! I have been waiting for you!” Garcia took heavy strides towards her, clenching her fists.

Stephanie heaved in relief, “I was kinda looking for you too. My boss said if I needed to know more about CEO Johnson, I should ask you”.

Garcia paused her steps, looking horrified, “And why would you ask me? I have no business with him!” her expression changed to anger, “And you’re coming from the hospital, aren’t you!?”.

Some workers passed by them and it reminded Stephanie that she should be in her office doing research not arguing with Garcia.

“Look dear, I am an employee who went to see her sick boss and you can too, and you did. Stop claiming ownership or what over him, you two aren’t even dating. It’s shameful!” she spat out.

She was aware, judging from how her white cheeks turned hot red and her teeth had grown longer, that Garcia was taking everything in her not to kill her at the moment. But alas, in every company they should be competition, and whether she’s up for it or not, Garcia is bound to be hers.

“So if you’re done, I have to go work. My job isn’t taking pictures, looking pretty or flipping my blonde hair about, I do real work” she added for effects. And Garcia snapped.

“Damn you, bitch! You won’t stay at this office for long! You won’t even live long enough!! You’d be under my surveillance from now on, Stephanie!!”

“Oh please what can a dumb-only-pretty blonde do? Between me and you, you’re the one who can lose your job. I work and get bids. You just look at a camera. Anyone can do it!” she passed a wink to the already red model. She was good at being petty, thanks to Lacy and Macy.

“Oh, yeah, I’d fight you till the end. Then we’d see who’s important” Garcia’s temper was cooling, she was putting a more competitive pose.

Impressed but didn’t show it, Stephanie clapped then borrowed Nathan’s line at the hospital, “Honey, if you have me as a rival, you can’t win!” she ended with a sassy hair flip.

The clock chimed for ten minutes to five so Stephanie cat walked away from the wolfess. Garcia smirked.

Since her five years here, she hadn’t seen a human worker mad enough to challenge her, “May the odds be in your favor, bitch!” she yelled after her.

“And may the winner be decided by Nathan, Little Delta”.

Garcia’s body shivered as she heard the voice behind her. She made a ninety degree bow, “Alpha! I didn’t… I didn’t know you were here”.

Luciana smirked, looking around the building, she took off her sunglasses and tucked it inside her blue coat. Garcia, still head down observed the Alpha’s shoes. Her Alpha rarely wore stiletto heels.

“Wait, did you go for some mafia business deals? You could have called me. I was off work today” Garcia raised her head.

Luciana shook her head, “Cole was with me. Don’t worry. And you serve my brother so I wouldn’t want to overwork you”. She walked to the balcony, looking down at the workers hurrying to finish their work before five.

“And about that Stephanie girl” she didn’t turn to Garcia but Garcia bent her heads down, “Don’t hurt her” Garcia snapped her head up on hearing that.

“Yes, little delta. Don’t hurt, Stephanie. She’s stubborn and witty, I like her. I heard a good amount of your bickering and it seems she is just… messing with you”.

“Well, I’d mess with her back and….”.

“Yes, yes, mess with her back. A werewolfess won’t lose to a human. But only break her pride, hmm? Don’t break anything else, hmm?” Alpha Luciana raised her brow.

Grudgingly, Garcia agreed. She wasn’t much of a wit person but a fist person but if she had to keep the fight fair, as she’s a werewolf and Stephanie a human, she’d leave the game only witty.

“Um… Garcia… is that right?”.

Garcia walked towards the balcony to what the Alpha was speaking off. It was the head of the marketing department yelling at some interns.

“Oh, yeah, he’s their teacher and he has a temper. Those students are dummies also”.

“Hmm, so Nathan let some humans hold power around here. He’s fair. Too fair” Luciana’s voice deepened, she shook off some growing ideas and exhaled, “Well, my mother did say I should overlook him, so I would” she sauntered back to the door, Garcia followed behind her. They got into her car and moved off.

“Garcia are you aware of the bid Nathan is chasing? I hear there’s a connection with his accident at the club with the J-twins. You were there too, I heard”.

Garcia gulped down saliva. She had been hitting her head all night at a wall when she heard that Nathan had a convulsion there, where she was. He must have see her crazy side.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Yes, Alpha. I do doubt Johnson has a connection to what happened. I know the girl, she was just drunk”.

Luciana smirked, saying nothing.

“I am really serious Alpha. If you think I am trying to defend my mate, Johnson, then you’re wrong. The incident was a total accident” she frowned.

“Very well then. Tell the girl not to bother pay Nathan’s bills, I heard she felt guilty and wanted to pay. I don’t want to feel indebted to any human. Hmm?”. Garcia nodded.

“And you really don’t mind Johnson?”.

Garcia affirmed, “I am, I feel numb to the mate bond. I would have no abuser as mate. I deserve better!”.

The car stopped and The Alpha alighted, “That’s sad. Well, have a good day!” she wore a sad look. Garcia bowed and the car continued taking her into the pack territory.

The sad expression on Alpha Luciana’s face, fell to a smirk as she walked into the Alpha’s mansion.
