"Here's your coat sir." Elijah brought the coat that her boss asked her to get.
They are inside of one of the expensive restaurant in Manila. Her boss is meeting the foreign investors who just arrived yesterday according to the information that Joanna gave her. And a while ago, he asked her to get his coat from the car be he felt cold all of a sudden. She doesn't know if it was true or he does lie but she still followed him. "Put it on." He said. "Huh?" "I said, put it on. You seems feeling cold."Elijah rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. She followed his order because she thought, he really need the coat. But he want her to wear it? "But I don't feel cold?"Dwine averted her eyes and stand up instead. He take the coat from her hands and put it on to her. "I'm not blind." He said.Elijah couldn't read the mood. But when she saw the man eyes, she understood the situation a little. Her Boss wants to use her as a scapegoat. "Sorry, I'm indeed feeling cold." She said. "En. I know." Dwine look back to the foreigner who still sitting and said. "I'm sorry Mr. Miles, my personal assistant seems to be sick so I need to bring her to the nearest clinic." "Ahh.. You said, she's your personal assistant? Do you really have to bring her with yourself?" The man seems to noticed that Dwine is trying to run away.He just need to tell him that he doesn't like the proposal, why does he need to use her as an excuse? She really can't understand rich people. "But I'm not that kind of employer. My staff health is also important to me." He said before pulling her hands. "Let's go."She just follow him, and when they finally out of the building, Elijah withdrew her hands voluntarily. "Where should we go next, Sir?" She asked.The man didn't answer. He just entered the car and wait for her to enter too and he asked the driver to drive. It's almost lunchtime, she's a bit hungry now. "Hello, Joanna. Order some food for two. We're on our way back."Oh! He called his secretary? Can't he just ask her to do the job? "Sir, can I also take my lunch while you are taking yours? She need to asked permission, right? "That's why I ordered two meals.. Didn't you hear?" He looked at her. "Ahh.. Okay."What is in his mind, really? She really want to ask but being shy to do so. She also need to know about Werewolves. She stole a glance while her Boss is busy reading some proposals. His eyelashes are longer than she has. His nose is in perfect shape, what a perfect handsome looking guy. "Why are you staring at me?"Elijah skipped a beat of her heart when the man suddenly captured her sight. "Sorry" she apologized immediately. "What do you want to ask?"Dwine folded the paper that he was reading and put it aside. "Nothing.." "Are you sure you don't have anything to ask?"Elijah nodded twice and just peek at her phone. "Then let me do the asking. What are you?"She pause for a second after hearing his question. "What do you mean by what I am? Aren't I human?" She tilted her head while asking.The handsome guy didn't disagree or even agree. He just continue staring at her. "I should be the one asking you that kind of question sir." Elijah couldn't take it anymore.She seriously fight his gaze and face him too. "What kind of question?" He asked. "What are you?"Dwine continue staring at her. He then changed his position and leaned closer to her. "I'm a werewolf. And an Alpha. How about you?" He whispered in her ear that makes her shudder. "How do I believe that? I never seen one." She also leaned closer to him and also whispered.She smelled the scent of sandal wood with mint in his neck. So it really was him. He's the one who made her lost her mind that night. How sad, he can't remember her. She withdrew herself and look at him again. But to her surprised, Dwine pulled her again and whispered in her ear again. "I'll show you later." He said before withdrawing himself.Do they really need to pull each other, leaned closer and whispered to each other during this conversation? Elijah look at the front and noticed the driver. She then look back at the man sitting beside her. So, the driver isn't like him. "If you say so.." She said while shutting her eyes closed. "I just hope you don't run away in fear."Elijah smirked. If she does feel scared, shouldn't it be that night when she saw him with a tail and also have a golden eyes? She doesn't even ran away or even shouted that night. "Why are you smirking?" he copied her position. "If I am scared.. It should be that time." She murmured. "What?"Elijah finches when she heard her Boss speak in front of her face. She also smells his breath. "Too close, can you please withdrew yourself a little?" She said without opening her eyes. "How am I supposed to hear you if I do that?"His voice sounds hoarse. Is he trying to flirt with her or is he trying to figure her out? She has no choice but open her eyes. "We can continue talking when we get back. That's what you've said a while ago."They locked their gazes and no one speaks after that. Elijah remember this position too. That night, he also look at her like this before capturing her lips and thrust more. And also that time, she were just moaning nonstop and scratching his back.She closed her eyes again when remembering that scenes. She doesn't want this guy to know about it. Not even from her eyes. "How unfortunate, I seem to remember something but its always ended up being blurry in my mind." He said again.Elijah secretly gulped while flinching. "If you can't remember it, why not forget it?" "I can't do that." He said. "Why not?" This time, her voice sounds hoarse too.. "Because I really wanted to remember it."When Elijah open her eyes again. The golden pair of eyes is looking at her seriously. Ahh... How she missed this eyes.. She wanted to touch it.. She wanted that eyes to look at her naked body again. Elijah snapped out her thoughts. "Interesting, you're not even surprised after seeing my golden eyes.""Should I scream?" She didn't averted her eyes this time. Elijah want to stare to his pair of golden eyes. Dwine gulped and slowly withdrew himself and sit back to his seat. "We have to go to my last appointment later this afternoon. And I heard that the other management will be having a party tonight, and I am being invited." "Do I have to go with you too?" "Well, yes." "What should I prepare for you before we leave?" "Nothing much, I just need to change my suit." "Noted." The two remain silent until they reached the building of the company. Walking inside the building with her boss, she noticed something unusual. "Why does it seem like they are talking about me?" She frowned. "Hmm.. Maybe because, you're still wearing my coat?" Dwine looked at her with amusement in his eyes. Enjoying himself while watching Elijah being confused. Elijah immediately wear off the coat and hang it in her arm. First day of work, the gossip already spread. "Why did you remove
Elijah helped Joanna to prepare their food while Dwine is standing in the side of the table. Observing the angry girl who choose to do not talk. The situation is troubling him deep inside because it surprisingly affecting his entire system. "Sir, everything's ready. You can start eating now." Joanna snapped out his thoughts. "En." He nodded his head and looked to the angry cat. "Take your seat." Elijah is indeed hungry but her pride is on the line now. This man didn't apologize to her even her name is now ruined in the mind of other employees. And that is because of her boss! "What are you doing? I said take your seat, joined me for lunch." Dwine repeated his words but the girl didn't react at all so he got curious. What's wrong with her? He asked himself. "Excuse me sir, Miss Sarah is on her way up here. She said she'll join you for your lunch." Joanna entered the room and got out again after that. "Since your girlfriend is coming, I should take my leave now Sir
"Do we really need to go inside your room? You're just gonna show me your true form, can't you do it here?" "No." Dwine answered. "... For how long should we stay inside?" "Until I returned to normal. How long do you think will it take?" Dwine looked back at Elijah. "Oh.. alright." She's a bit nervous but she really wanted to know the truth about werewolves. And if she really one of them. After entering the room, Dwine started to remove his clothes. Elijah started to panic too.. What the?! He said, he will just show his true form! Not like this! "W-What are you doing Sir?" She stammered several times. "Showing you my true form.. You said you wanted to see me in my werewolf form." Dwine looks confused now. "B-But.. Why are you removing your clothes?" "If I don't remove this, it'll tore apart." He said. "Why? Are you thinking I'mma do something other than what we agreed? " No! Of course not! Haha.. I was just..." "Don't worry, I will not removed everyt
"Hello?."Dwine turned away to answer his phone, while Elijah run out of the room.Elijah feel the mixture of shame and self-loathing inside her chest and decided to go out of the building for now. Joanna saw her but because she is running, she didn't give her a time to call her name."Da*n it! why did I do that?! Why did I let that happen?! It's only in day one, but there's a lot that happened! Arghhh!" She pulled her hair because of shame and anger while she's inside of the elevator."What should I do now?!"She's was still thinking when the elevator stopped moving. The door opened and two staffs entered."She's the assistant, right?"She heard them talking about her but she didn't give a damn because her head is aching right now due to what happened."Hi, are you the new assistant of the President Frost, right?" The girl couldn't help but asked her."Why?" The tone of Elijah's voice become cold and sounds like she's angry so the two suddenly feel the hesitation to continue."That..
"I think I'm okay now, Sir." Elijah started to struggle to set herself free from Dwine's embrace. Dwine heard her and slowly letting her go. The two entered the car and waited for the driver to hop in too. "Are you sure you're okay now?" Dwine broke the silence. "Yes sir. I am okay now." He didn't ask again until the new driver came in. They started moving and no one dares to talk. It took less than an hour before they finally reached the location of the last meeting for today. The body guard who who were riding another car, opened the door beside Elijah and she stepped out of the car. Following her boss to get inside the building and just waiting for his instructions. Elijah insisted to sit at the corner of the room while her boss is meeting the old man with white hair. The meeting lasted for several hours before ended. "It's almost 6:46 in the evening, We have to attend the company's party tonight." Dwine said while peeking at his wrists watch. "I'm sorry but, Can y
"Good Morning Sir." Elijah approached her boss and helped him removed his coat. "Morning." He replied. "How's the meeting schedule for today, Joanna?" He asked his secretary who followed him into his office. "After your meeting with the heads of all managements, you will be having a lunch meeting with the chairman." "My father?" He frowned while he asked. "Yes, Sir." "How did he come here without telling me?" The frowns in his forehead become deeper. "I'm sorry sir, I also have no idea. I just received the call from his personal assistant telling me to tell you about your meeting with him. His assistant also told me that the meeting will not going to take more time and after that, he will be going to Baguio for another appointment." Joanna explained. "I see, where are we going to meet?" Dwine approached the cabinet where his documents where kept. "At Golden Phoenix Restaurant sir." "Got it." "Do I have to accompany you during your meeting with him sir?"
Elijah remained silent even when they got back to their boss's office. Dwine was talking to his secretary while Elijah sat down at her desk and started working. When Joanna got out and it was just the two of them were left inside, she still didn't say a word. So, Dwine started to think what's going on? "I will be leaving at noon for my lunch meeting with my Dad. And I decided to bring you with me." Dwine spoke after the deadly silent. "If that's what you want sir, no problem. I'm your assistant, and it's my duty to do what you ordered as long as it was about work." Elijah answered without eye contact. Dwine clenched his jaw and stood up after. He walked towards Elijah's desk and stopped in front of her. Elijah looked up and a fake smile shown on her face. "Can I help you with something sir?" She asked. Her eyes were empty. Dwine didn't say anything and just stare at her. "What happened?" He asked after a few seconds. "Pardon?" Elijah tilted her head and the curious e
As their boss ordered, they both took care of her passport so she could have one. They also queued for three hours just to apply. But when they already at the front desk, the staff told them that they are actually waiting for them to just present her ID and other informations they will going to put on her passport. Dwine already contacted the head of the department but he didn't told them. "Hey Joanna, is it legal to punch your boss?" Elijah couldn't restraint her irritation at that moment. She seem heard by the head because he chuckled just in time. "Calm down, maybe he has reason for not telling us?" Joanna tried to calm her down. "We waited for three hours just to be told that my passport was actually ready to be released. Imagine how many works have we finished if we used that time in his office." "Well.." Joanna suddenly stopped when she saw a familiar face that was walking towards them. "Ugh! I don't know anymore! Does he still a child? It was easy to contact y
