I found out where that voice came from. There was a woman currently being harassed by two men. I grit my teeth upon seeing that scenario.“Margaux, calm down. Remember you are not going to allow me to transform here in the mortal world.” Luna uttered at the back of my head.“I know what I am doing. Trust me, I can do this.”Luna just nodded her head from what I said. This time, I kept walking until I arrived. I grabbed one of the men and didn't hesitate to punch him in his face. The other one noticed that, so he let go of the woman to fight me.My mouth opened up when he took a knife from his pocket, so I raised my hands.“Woah, easy.”He suddenly smirked, still looking at me.“You interrupt us and I will make you regret it.”A smirk formed my lips from what he uttered. The man attacked me, trying to stab me with the knife that he's holding but unfortunately, he didn't succeed in his plan. I was able to take the knife from him and was about to pierce his heart but then something stopp
Natalie gave me a hug that I didn't expect. That kind of hug that is comforting. I know she's really a kind woman.“Thank you for saving me once again and also for accepting me as your friend, Margaux. Let's catch-up tomorrow. Bye.”I smiled widely from what she had said. Natalie already went inside of her room, so I also did the same thing. The first thing I do when I enter the room is to narrow my eyes through the whole place. This apartment was comfortable but being in Jace's arms could be more of a home for me.“You're thinking about him again, Margaux.” Luna uttered at the back of my head.I took a deep breath and tried to wash the thought about him. Tomorrow is another day and I have many things to do. I have to find a job tomorrow because that's what I needed most. Relaying on Luke, my brother couldn't help me to get used to the mortal world. I have to stand on my own but honestly, I missed the werewolves as well as the kingdom.Of course. That place was my life. My home and my
My gaze turned to Natalie's brother. He held my wrist when I was about to rush away from them.“Where are you going?” He asked, so I took a deep breath.“S-sorry. I just f-forget my requirements—”I didn't finish whatever I wanted to say when Natalie's brother stopped me.“It's not needed. I believe my sister, and she won't bring anyone here if she doesn't trust that person. You are hired.”Eyes widened, I looked at him with a surprise look on my face.“I am not hallucinating, right?” I asked, which made him laugh.“Of course you are not. I would like to hire you in my company and with Natalie's help, I know you'll be able to learn the background of your work.” He said, which made me smile.I wanted to say something to thank this man, but Natalie already exceeded me. My gaze turned to her when she said something towards her brother.“I would like her to become my assistant, brother. As your secretary, there is a lot of work that I need to do, and I'm needing someone to help me.”Eyes
Weeks had passed since I started working in the company of Natalie's brother. I am so far improving with Natalie's help. She helped me to learn everything I needed to learn.We are currently in Natalie's office, doing the paperwork that his brother had given to us, when we heard the door's creaking and her brother came in.“We have a business meeting to attend.”Natalie and I turned our gaze to him when he uttered those words. I didn't know who Cole was referring to, but I am sure it's Natalie. She was his secretary.“But you know, I have a lot of work to do, Cole.”Natalie pretends to be busy scanning the paper works in her table. Cole looked at me this time, which made my eyes widened.“What about you, Margaux?”I swallowed my saliva and before I could respond to him, Natalie had exceeded me.“You can bring Margaux, Cole. I have to work on this and really can't go with you this time.”My eyes widened towards Natalie when she lied to his brother. I don't know why she wants me to come
My lips didn't move a bit to call his name. I know to myself that I miss him. If he could read what I have felt right now, I know that Jace would be now smiling. But if he still cares for me.I just can't believe to see him after so many years. Jace looks even handsome now. He was still handsome as always but the things he did became more attractive in my eyes and yes, I admit to myself that I still care for him. But it wouldn't change the fact that he hurt me. He left me for no reasons and for not telling me that he wanted to leave. When I remember what he did before, it's making my blood boils.“It's good to see you here, Mr. Jace, but how come… You know my assistant secretary?”Confused, Cole asked him. This time, Jace turned his head in his direction, staring at him for a moment.“It's nothing. So, let's start the meeting.” Jace went back to his seat without even explaining himself to me. I don't know what was happening to him. It's just so easy for him to dump the love that we h
Tears wanted to fall from my eyes, but I have tried my best to control it from falling down. I don't want to cry in front of him nor let him know that I was still affected by him. The game that he's playing now, I was able to play it without losing it. Jace can't make me fall down.A deep breath had escaped from me after he's gone away. I couldn't see him anymore, which was also a perfect time that Cole had arrived. His hand was on my shoulder, making me turn my head in his direction. His eyes furrowed, with a glimpse of questions deep inside.“Are you okay?”Cole was asking me, so I took a deep breath before responding to him.“Yeah, I am. By the way, what happened? I thought you and Mr. Jace would talk more about—”Cole already cut me from talking before I could finish whatever I wanted to say about.“Mr. Jace told me that we will continue our discussion soon. He will set an appointment because there was an important thing he needed to attend.”Even though I already know what Jace's
I could feel the pain because of the way they pulled my hair. These girls don't want to let go of me and I don't know why. I don't know what I have done to make them this mad.“You're not leaving us!”“You have no respect, huh.”Grimacing, I manage myself to control myself from getting mad. They pushed me so hard. I have almost hit the sink, but using my strength, I have tried my best to control my body. This group of women were not satisfied. One of them grasped my hand, forcing me to look at them. Two of them held me both in my hands, while the other one was already in front of me. Their looks seemed threatening to me.“What do you guys want from me?” I asked, controlling myself to raise a voice.The one in front of me, crossed her arms and formed a smirk on her lips. She shook her head as she spoke to me.“Have you not heard what we said earlier?” She asked me.I let out a deep breath, closed my eyes to calm my shaking nerves. They didn't know that I really hated bullies. I have le
Natalie and I turned our gaze towards the man who entered our office. My mouth fell open when I saw him. Jace was there. He's standing in front of us and my heart was beating so fast seeing his face.“Jace—I mean, Mr. Jace, what are you doing here?” I asked, making him put his hands inside of his pockets. His reaction was still the same. I still couldn't tell what he was thinking right now.“Do you need anything from us, Mr. Jace?” Natalie asked him but I noticed the spark in her eyes.Jace didn't speak to respond to one of us. Instead, he waited for Cole to enter, so we looked at him. My reaction was filled with confusion. I was wondering what brought Jace here in our office.“Natalie, Margaux… Mr. Jace wants to say something. We already done talking at the office earlier and we had agreed,”My heart throbbed after hearing those words from Cole. I just can't wait for him to continue whatever he's going to tell us. But I noticed something. I feel like whatever Jace wanted to tell us,
