The Were CEO’s Secret

Thirty-Three – Give me heads up.

Stephanie hastened her footsteps towards where the sound was coming from. Who was openly yelling at themselves this morning?

Her day had been stressful after waking up with hunger pains and Nathan came to pick her early, giving her no time to eat. The last thing she needed were two colleagues fighting.

She didn’t see two colleagues fighting but two interns yelling at each other. No one else was around and they seemed like they’d kill each other soon.

“Hey, quiet down! What’s going on here?”

The two students eyed themselves, keeping calm and moving into the crowd of students encircling them.

“Miss, our teacher scolded Lizzy for wearing an inappropriate dress for class and she yelled back at him so our class rep is mad at her.” A blonde girl answered Stephanie.

Stephanie looked over at the Lizzy, she was wearing a small dress with no sleeves. It could pass as a club dress and it wasn’t in the dress code.

“Lizzy, you look beautiful but this dress isn’t in the dress code. You could have respected that.” She said, gently.

The girl rolled her eyes. “I wear what I want. It’s my body!”

The class rep frowned at her

“And it’s my company!” Someone said behind them.

Stephanie turned to see Nathan, she smiled, and gently moved away to let him play ‘boss’.

“If you don’t follow the dress code, next time, you’d be sent out. Understood?” Nathan leered.

The girl walked forward. “I paid for this, you can’t just send me away.”

Stephanie’s cheeks flushed in anger. Who does this girl think she is? She noticed the girl’s nails and confirmed she wasn’t a werewolf.

So what gave her guts to act so unruly? Probably some rich bitch who thought money could buy class and respect.

“Then you’d be very surprised when you’d be sent away with no refund.” Nathan came closer to her, looking her in the eyes.

The girl furrowed her brow angrily and matched his gaze, stubbornly.

For a minute Stephanie wanted to push the girl away from him till her knees became weak and a sense of fear enveloped her. It felt familiar.

The interns watching them immediately kept their heads down, biting their lower lips in submission.

The girl went back and looked down as well. “I’m sorry.”

Stephanie fell to the ground, her knees failing her. The students gasped and Nathan rushed to help her up. “Hey, are you okay?”

Stephanie looked confused on why her knees were acting all wobbly till she saw Nathan’s eyes blue, she pinched him discretely.

“Where you emitting some aura? What’s with you.” She mumbled as he helped her up.

“The girl was being stubborn, I didn’t want to hit her.” He replied in a hushed tone.

He turned to the students. “Go back to your class. And Lizzy, get a company shirt from a worker and apologize to your teacher. Go now!”

The interns all scurried away, the blonde girl glanced at Stephanie worriedly before looking away.

“Give me heads up before you go all ‘bow to me’, next time.” Stephanie sighed, walking away.

Nathan chuckled following her, “Yes, ma.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Garcia seethed watching them, she was on her way to settle the interns, as they were bothering her shoots, when Stephanie arrived.

She pondered on what Stephanie and Nathan were whispering about and their closeness annoyed her.

It ate her insides seeing how Nathan worried for Stephanie when she had freely fallen to get his attention.

She must have been using the stomach ache for lots of excuses gaining Nathan’s attention. She was really good.

Reina crawled up to her, looking heads down. “Miss. Can I speak with you on something?”

Garcia still had her eyes glaring at Stephanie walking upstairs with Nathan. That human girl was taking advantage of Nathan’s niceness.

And as Ashley wasn’t working with them anymore, she’d have more excuses to spend time with Nathan, her Nathan.

“Reina, whatever you wanna say, can wait.” Garcia snapped, whipping her phone out of her bag and phoning Ashley.

“Yes, Ash. You aren’t at work today? Are you letting Stephanie replace you? You want her to take over this company!” She ranted.

Ashley laughed. “What? No. I left as Alpha finally let me join the warrior workforce. I’m living my dream, baby. And Stephanie can handle things.”

“Handle things.” Garcia sighed, switching her phone to her other ear. “Stephanie doesn’t handle things. She’s just a gold digger!”

“Okay, Garcia, chill. I left cos I got accepted somewhere else. Also, Stephanie can really handle things. And, I left them to get space. They look cute, don’t you think?”

“What!” Garcia screamed. “Ashley, you left Nathan, your Alpha’s brother, in the mercy of that witch and you aren’t bothered?”

“Garcia, settle your differences with Stephanie but all I think she is a fighting young woman, who loves her family and has a good heart.”

Garcia hung up on Ashley, grunting. Ashley must be mad! Stephanie didn’t have the company’s good at heart.

She was only trying to seduce the CEO. And they looked cute? Was everyone blinded by Stephanie just because she helped find Nathan?

For all she knew, Stephanie might have only done it to get into the Alpha’s good book and make everyone grateful to her.

She stomped her feet, almost letting go of her phone. “I hate that Stephanie. I won’t let her take my peace, happiness and joy away from me.”

Reina gulped, moving back as she saw she was mad. “Miss. Um… I feel like someone has been following us. Maybe following you.”

Garcia glared at her and the girl flinched. “Shut your mouth! No one’s following me.”

She paused. “Maybe, some crazy fan but there’s no danger. Stop being a chicken or I’d dump you where omegas are supposed to be!”

She cat walked to her driver who gave her another phone to make a call with. Reina followed her obediently, standing besides the glass door.

She looked out at the cars passing by and couldn’t get the fact she was being watched out of her head. Who was the person after? Garcia?

She was an omega, her natural instinct was to run from danger, she could sense this danger but can’t run from it because she’s to be strong.

But how’d she be strong when she didn’t know what’s she’s up against. Would she live with those eyes hovering about her teacher, Garcia?

“Okay, fine. Get my new schedule!” Garcia slapped the phone on her driver’s hand after ending the call.

“My schedule just change all the time. Am I gaining new appointments or am I losing them?” she rubbed her temples.

She noticed Reina still feeling scared and shaken. “At this rate, you’d die an omega cos you can’t take fear away from you.” She sighed.

“Let’s go.” She dragged Reina by the arm and stomped towards her Lamborghini.
