The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Fifty-One – I like you.

Nathan yelped after causing another injury to himself. His facial hairs were just so stubborn. He wiped blood from his face.

“You know.” he plucked hair using his claws. “I was slightly disappointed foxes aren’t as big as Beta wolves. But it’s okay.” He teased Keon.

Keon scoffed but stayed calm. Was there a need to teach the annoying human the moon goddess gave him about werefox levels and all?

“Are you being calm now? Or do you still miss he hunter’s kids?”

Keon leapt with joy. Nathan shook his head. The fox was really an animal. One who rather stayed being a pet for four year old hunter kids than saving his ass from being eaten.

“They’d feel bad to know you’re gone though.” Nathan sighed. Keon said nothing so he went on with his shaving.

The house was becoming darker and Nathan knew he had lots of messages to answer on his phone. He didn’t want anyone looking for him again.

He checked his messages and saw only two. One from one of his girls and another from Stephanie. He read the one from his whore:

“Baby, let’s meet up. I’d tell you how my day went and you’d tell me how yours went.”

Nathan sighed. The girl was a whore but also an unnecessary chatter box. He’d always told her, he’d text first but she never listened.

She was supposed to be his dirty little secret, and tap for life force but he’d been too busy with Stephanie the last few days.

“If not that the hunter’s kids wrapped their arms around me, I wouldn’t have had the energy to shift when we escaped.” Keon sighed as Nathan left the bathroom.

Nathan rolled his eyes, the fox was always complaining about something. He could never satisfy him.

“What’s your point? I can’t go out with girls like I used to cos Stephanie is close. I can’t also take energy from her so what’d I do?!”

“Let us to die then.” Keon asserted. Nathan rubbed his temples.

One time, Keon is saying they don’t hang out with Stephanie enough then the next, he’s saying, they don’t playboy enough. Can he do both at the same time?

The fox seemed to have forgotten that the last time they flirted while Stephanie was around, she avoided them for a while. And he didn’t want to go through that shit again.

He wanted her to like him as he liked her but she’d never let herself like a player cos her heart was important to her.

Keon then suggested. “Orphanage. Arrange a visit to an orphanage and give them gifts in exchange for life force. It’s not harmful at all.”

A broad grin spread across Nathan’s face. That was an awfully good idea. One that’d help his image as well.

He locked the door of the house and got into his car, dialing Stephanie. She’d dropped a message for him, not an interesting one but he’d answer.

He noticed a strand of orange hair on his face and plucked it off, rolling his eyes. He won’t be shifting anytime soon.

“Hey, Stephanie.” He greeted.

“Yes?” She asked gloomily.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t pick you up today, are you mad at me? You saw my gift, right?” he started his car.

“Why would you send me a…. Never mind, why’d you call anyway? Did you just see my text now?” she sighed.

“Um…” Nathan knitted his brows together. He wasn’t liking Stephanie’s tone. “Did you have a bad day at work, by any chance?”

“Why? So you don’t show up at work and my day is supposed to be bad?” she snapped.

Nathan nodded, she surely had a bad day at work. And Garcia had shoots today so he could guess who made her day bad.

He cleared his throat. “Okay, could you arrange a visit to an orphanage for me please? Anyone you pick, I feel like helping them!”

He expected a ‘good job’ reply but she just made an ‘hmm’ sign.

“Sure, I’d see you tomorrow.” She hung up. Nathan stared at his phone, a small pout coming to his lips. Something was eating her up again.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He frowned while calling his doctor. “Yes, Doctor Dan, you have given them the cost of the machine? Good, thank you, goodbye.”

If the cost had been given to her family, why’d she be in such bad mood. Didn’t she say money was her only problem in the world?

He swerved to another lane, accepting Keon’s nudge to go and check on her. He entered the estate and met Chess walking out.

He’s the one who sold the estate, Eagle Eye, to him.

“Boss, how’re you doing? What brings you here? To see how’re your property is doing? Don’t worry, it’s in good hands.” The man grinned.

Nathan huffed. “I’d be gifting it to someone soon. Don’t get used to it. Even if you do, you’d still be able to see it. I’d be gifting it to someone who lives here. Prepare the documents, please.”

Mr. Chess’s face dropped. He withdrew from his car. “Oh, good boss.”

Nathan smirked, driving off. He stopped at Stephanie’s house and jumped out of his car. He knocked expecting her mother or sisters.

An older man appeared behind the door, he’d leaned on the door, not letting Nathan in. “Yes?”

Nathan remembered that’s how Stephanie had replied him. He guessed the man was her dad who came home, “Greetings, Mr. Ernest.”

“Name and who you are looking for?” The man asked, not sparing a smile. Mrs. Ernest peeked and saw Nathan at the door.

“Um… honey, he’s Stephanie’s friend. Come in.” she expanded the door for him to pass through.

“I am Nathan, sir. Thank you.” Nathan walked in. The house was quiet, lacking the screams of the twins. Where they out?

“Um… I’m here to see Stephanie. Is she back from work yet?” Nathan sat down, he became slightly tensed when the man sat down besides him.

“Yes, she is but she went on a stroll recently, she’d be back.” Mrs. Ernest answered. Nathan nodded.

Mr. Ernest exhaled. “So you know where my daughter works at? As her friend, do you advice her to keep working there?”

Nathan went aback with his question. What’s wrong with his company? It was practically the dream workplace of any young person.

“What my husband mean is, is she being treated well there, Nathan, by her boss?” Mrs. Ernest said, nervously.

The way she said ‘boss’, Nathan could read that she didn’t want her husband knowing he was actually Stephanie’s boss.

So how else will he introduce himself? This was the first time meeting her father, he didn’t want to screw it up without a proper introduction.

“Things are really well. She won a bid recently for them and they were very pleased with her. She likes her job.” He nodded, then added. “As her boyfriend, I’d know.”

It was just to wait for Stephanie to kill him when she came back. He saw Mrs. Ernest pleased and surprised face.

“Indeed a lot of changed since five years.” Mr. Ernest smiled. “I had been worried Stephanie would be a lesbian, I’m glad she likes men.”

His wife hit him slightly to stop exposing their daughter, the man chuckled.

Mrs. Ernest gave Nathan a thumps up and he discretely gave one back to her. She left him with her husband.

“You seem like a pretty confident man. Tell me about yourself.”

Nathan cleared his throat. “I run my own business. Have my masters and doctorate in business administration and economics. Blood type AB and I’m the only son of my family.”

Mr. Ernest nodded. “You’re not an idle man. Some men at early twenties can’t even manage a shop. I like you for that.”

Nathan bowed respectfully, smiling at the man’s words. He liked him? Another huge step. Now all it remained was his daughter liking him as well.
