Beginning: Slept with my employee

She left me?

WHERE DID THAT WOMAN GO?!

I rummaged through the bed's white sheets as I realized that the woman I slept with last night had just vanished.

I found a hundred-dollar bill on the pillow.

I let out a small chuckle. "This is what you think of me, huh?" I mumbled.

As I went down the bed, I saw some of the garments she used last night. Maybe she was rushing to leave and forgot to wear all her clothes.

I thought I would finally find a mate, but it seems imperceptible.

With all the women I slept with, the woman last night was different.

She's so alluring and beautiful. Her round brown eyes kept pulling me closer to her every time I tried to pull myself away. Her lips are attractive.

And her skin is so soft. Just thinking about last night makes me feel...

Forget it.

I sighed. I don't want to think about it anymore.

Maybe I won't find a mate anymore.

I wore my clothes from yesterday and went out of the room. I marched outside as I wore my sunglasses.

I can't believe that woman just left me without a word, but with dollars. DOES SHE THINK I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY?!

Or does she regard me as someone little of worth?

She's starting to make me go crazy. I will definitely find that woman and confront her about being so impudent.

"Hello, sir, you've been out all night. Where have you been?" The chauffeur asked as I rode my black Limousine.

"A business," I nonchalantly replied.

"Really? Then why do you have kiss marks on your lips, sir?"

My eyes widened when the chauffeur said that. I immediately grabbed my phone and looked at my reflection through the camera.

"This is... a mosquito bite," I lied.

No one needs to know about what am I doing with my life. If my pack figures out, they will laugh at me for doing one-night-stands just to find a mate.

I suddenly remembered that woman again. My inner wolf will never be at peace until I see her again.

I want to feel and touch her again.

If she didn't leave me, I probably made her my mate when we woke up.

"Are you mad, Sir?" the chauffeur asked again.

Why does he have to ask me too many things?!

"I'm definitely not mad. Please continue driving," I replied.

I'm a werewolf, the Alpha of my pack. I decided to mingle with the humans to find a mate. That's just my reason.

Also, I'm filthy rich because I got lucky being the CEO of a food company. My father decided to retire and suddenly made me the company's CEO.

Well, I have a younger sister, and she said that she was not capable of something like handling a company or whatsoever.

Besides, I don't have a choice. In this way, I can also benefit and help my pack grow.

It's just that I long for a mate. It's something I've been craving for several years now.

"Please proceed to my office."

The chauffeur nodded.

I need to find that woman. I didn't even get to ask her name.

What a shame.

...

In my office, the thought of last night still haunted me.

"Sir, do you want to meet the chefs who made the new food recipe for the company?" my secretary asked.

I looked at her and hesitantly nodded my head.

I don't have the mood to work right now, but I couldn't just slack off because of some woman I slept with.

This hasn't happened before.

As we met the chefs, I glanced at everyone and smiled at each of them.

"Good job, team. You did a really great job," I said and congratulated them.

Most of these chefs are new, and I don't recognize any of them. I'll get to know them once I finally have free time.

You see, I'm a very busy man. My life only revolves around my family, my work, my pack...

And sometimes with women.

Just sometimes.

"Thank you, sir. By the way, Ms. Harper isn't here yet. She's the one who actually made the recipe for the new product," one of the chefs exclaimed.

I just nodded my head.

"Where is she? It's better if I meet her," I replied.

"Oh, there she is!"

I glanced behind me and saw a familiar lady.

She was running toward us, and as she came closer, it seemed like my whole world was going in slow motion. I thought this only happens in dramas?

"S-sorry. I'm late," she said to her team while catching for air.

I creased my forehead as I looked at the woman who had just come.

Is she—

"Hello, sir, I'm very sorry. Please forgive me!" she said while bowing her head.

"Please raise your head. I want to see your face," I commanded.

She slowly raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes widened as soon as our eyes met.

My eyes widened as well.

I pointed at her.

"You are that wo—"

"Uh, I actually need to l-leave! B-bye!"

She immediately ran away and vanished from my sight...again.

That woman! I'm sure she was the woman I slept with last night! I can't believe she's avoiding me.

Then she just knows that she slept with her CEO. That could be the reason why she's avoiding me.

"Uh, you may now leave. I'm sure to add your bonuses to your bank accounts," I said and followed where Ms. Harper went.

Ms. Harper. What a beautiful surname.

I exhaled in frustration when I didn't find her anywhere. Just where did she go again?

I messed my hair up and proceeded back inside my office.

I called my secretary and asked her to bring files about Ms. Harper.

As I scanned through the pages, I saw her portfolio.

Her full name is Nathalie Harper. A twenty-five-year-old woman with two younger siblings. A breadwinner and the only one working in their family.

Her parents passed away when she was fifteen, so she had to work for her brothers.

I sighed. We met last night at the club. I don't think she was working there. I guess she was just trying to relax a bit.

But she doesn't have to avoid me at all.

I'll find that woman and make her my mate.

"Nathalie Harper, once I find you, you're mine."
