Everyone's eye went to the stage. A loud and long sound of clapping was heard. Even Jessica and Anyee had calmed down and they were also focused on the stage. "Today we had performances from different departments of the company and some other performances from the brach office from city B and D." Nick said smiling at us. "But first, let us all give a big hand of applause for the CEO of Golden Company, Mr.Willis Gold. Everybody, I want it loud and long." Rosy smiled at everyone. Then Mr. Gold raised his hand and took a quick look around. Then he got back to his initial position. He was normal, his activity was normal, the party, the people, everything was normal, but not me. I didn't know what was happening. When Mr.Gold looked back, just a sight of him made my heart beat faster. I think if my mouth had been a bit bigger, my heart would have come out of my hands. I had never felt this before. I just feel like looking at him nonstop. I pressed my chest with my rig
"What?" I didn't know how to react to that. Because I felt nervous all over again. How can I go to him when I can't handle myself when I accidentally see him or hear his name? This feeling was new, maybe because I met him just today. Maybe he is my boss, and he is handsome. That's why I'm not confident around him. "Let's go home, please. I don't want to meet new people. " I said it. I don't want to go around him and do something stupid or embarrass myself. "It's not fair, Riley. We can't meet our boss as we wish. Today is our opportunity to really meet him. I don't want to let this opportunity go. He is so handsome. Where can I meet a man like him?" Anyee said with an aww expression. "Handsome, my ass, I'm more handsome," Rick said as he lifted Anyee's face up to his face. "Shut up, idiot." Anyee pushed his face away and turned to me. "I want to meet him, please, Riley." Anyee was making a puppy face and pleading with me. She looked so cute. Not only me, b
I covered my mouth with both hands, shocked. I was so so so scared right now. I didn't know what to do now. Mr. Robert saw my expression and looked at his friend. Then he laughed out hard. "Hahaha, Willis you....Hahaha," he laughed for a long time. "You are awesome, girl. You bathed this man, who runs away from girls, with a glass of wine. Hahaha now maybe he will be a bit romantic and gentle after bathing like this." As he was speaking, Mr. Gold was frowning more and more. And I was horrified more by his frowns. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gold. I didn't mean it. I'm really sorry." I quickly went forward and bowed a few times, saying, "Let me clean this." I took a tissue from the table and tried to clean his suit. But before I cleaned, he raised his hand. I looked at him, scared. He just glared at me, frowning, and left without saying anything. "You are awesome, Riley. He really needed a bath." Saying this, Mr. Robert patted my shoulder and left laughing
I got up and went out for a morning walk. It was only 5 a.m. in the morning. The street was empty. I put the earphones in my ear, turned the music on, and ran. When I got to the society gate, I saw a black Mercedes parked at the side. I have lived in this society for a while now. And I knew that anyone who ever lived here was a middle-class person like us. They couldn't be the ones who could afford Mercedes. I curiously got near it. I looked through the black glass and got shocked. What on earth was Mr.Gold doing here? Why was he sleeping in here? I stood there for a few minutes, thinking about what the reason could be. Maybe he had some work around here. I shook my head, went far from the car, and ran. I was running and running until I was fully drenched in sweat. I had run for quite some time when I realized I had gone a bit too far. I stopped to take a breath. I stopped there for a few minutes and ran back towards the apartment. Coming back,while I was cross
When I got back, that Mercedes was not there. I looked around, but it wasn't here. Then I went inside. Cami was waiting for me. We both made breakfast and got ready for work. After that, she drove me to the office. Then she left for her work. I was in front of the Golden Company. I thought of our CEO, and I got nervous. especially when I remembered that I poured drinks on his suit. I just crossed my fingers and hoped that, at worst, I wouldn't be fired. I went inside as I prayed to God not to get me fired today. I went to the elevator and pressed my floor. Then I saw Olivia and Jessica coming towards the elevator. Wow, what a great day! Now I'm sure it's going to be a bad day. My mood became worse. Then I clicked the close button. When the door was closing, they came running, and before the elevator could close,they put their hands in between. The door opened again, and they entered the elevator. And I was like, hell, could something be worse than this? "
I went out of the office and went down towards my floor. As I reached there, Anyee was already waiting for me. "what happened? Jessica said Mr. Reid took you to Mr. Gold. What did he say?" She asked as I reached there. "Of course he had fired her," Jessica said from the back. "Did he really fire you? Have you lost your job?" Anyee asked again. "No,he asked me to collect a debt from this man before the office hour ends." I gave her the file. She took the file and looked inside it. "It is so far away from here. How can you go there and come back today?" She said, "It is almost impossible. And you don't have any vehicles." " Hahaha....He doesn't want you to stay. That is why he gave you this job. Either way, your job is gone. " Olivia laughed at me. I looked at her. She was right. But I have to try at least. "You can take my car," Anyee said. "Try to come as fast as you can." "What is the point of going in a car while you have
I had twisted my ankle. I tried so hard but I can't move my leg. I panicked. I was already late and now I can't even move my leg . I was pretty sure I had lost my job. At this time,I was shattered, and I wanted to cry. Dragging my twisted leg, I reached for my bag and took out my phone. I opened the contacts and dialed Anyee's number. As expected, there was no signal. Only 'No network available ' would be shown each time I dialed her number. I had no choice but to help myself on my own. I massaged my leg, it was so painful at first, but gradually the pain decreased a little. I massaged my leg again and again. After a while, I thought my leg was much better. So I got up and walked slowly down the hill. There were only one and a half hours left before the office hour ended, and I was still at the top of the mountain. With my twisted leg, I knew I couldn't reach the office in time. But at least I had to go home. And it wasn't going to take long before I reached the base
All the wolves were howling and tears were falling from my eyes. The wolf moved again towards me, growling. All I could see were those sharp teeth. All I could hear was their growling "grrrrrr.". As it was moving towards me, I was remembering my life and each event in it. I closed my eyes, and I could see my dad,Cami,Anyee, Rick, mom, Sarah, and then Mr. Gold. I instantly opened my eyes. How could I see him at this moment? Why...did I see him? I could see the wolf running towards me with fierce eyes, then I shook my thoughts away. I closed my eyes, tears rolling down my cheeks. I could feel the wolf running toward me. I waited for a long time, but it didn't bite me. Then I hear something fell on the ground heavily. I opened my eyes. In front of me was black. I saw the black wolf shielding me. The red wolf that was about to kill me was now on the ground, far away from me. I looked at the wolf in shock. Where did it come from? How did it k
I'm sorry about your loss Cami I hugged her I thought I know everything about you but I was wrong. She quickly broke the hug and took my hand in hers I'm sorry for keeping this from you but I never wanted you to get into this mess. I'm sorry. It's ok Cami. You are my best friend either you tell me or not. When I was talking to Cami, I smell something very sweet and strong scent out of the door, my heart suddenly started to pace up faster and faster. Eva also appeared in my mind as she sniffed the scent even more. "Mate" a word escape her lips as there was anger in her eyes. I can't word out my feelings that I felt at that moment. I don't know if I was happy or not. I just felt my heart beating like a drum faster and faster. I tried to calm myself as I feel the scent coming closer and closer to the room. I stay there stopping my breathe when the door opened and there was Mr. Gold along with some guys surrounding him here and there. He stood frozen as he saw me. His eyes
One day I was in my room, sitting under the bed thinking about these and that when I heard someone approaching to my room. I pretended to be asleep just to ignore the person but the person came to my room. The smell had made me clear who the person was, it was Liam. I was wondering when he call out my name all of the sudden. Riley I played deaf and stay silent inside my quilt to ignore him. Riley he called again and again. When I don't talk to him after so long, he sat on the edge of my bed at the end. He take a deep sigh before speaking "I never thought things would turn out like this" He continued "You can't stop leaving just because Mr. Gold left you." This time I sat up on the bed, he was right but there was nothing to be happy about in my life. "I just don't feel excited with anything now-a-days" I said "To be true I don't feel anything" I know this is because your mate is far from you. i have heard thaat a werewolf can't be happy without his mate but I see they can't even l
I could care less about the will or the property, all I need was Mr. Gold at this point. What was I going to do with the property. I asked Mr Clark to wait for me outside. He nodded and went outside , now I and Liam were the only ones in the room. He looked at me as he asked "What's the matter?" "Where is he" i asked him straight forwardly. "He? Who?" he tried to play dumb but I wasn't in the mood at all... "Where is Mr. Gold? when is he coming back" I asked him again. He went silent for a moment before sighing. Only then he opened his mouth He is never coming back and I'm no allowed to say anything to you. He gave you eighty percent of his property and asked me to take care of you ... But why? I shouted at him even though I knew he wasn't going to answer my questions. He got up of the seat and begin to walk out. i closed my eyes and shouted I know you know all about him. You even know where he is, you are just not telling me... Because he ab
"Hello miss, how are you?" she smiled politely at me. Who was she?... I have never seen her before, I thought to myself. "I said who are you? i asked her again. she looked at me with a smile and spoke i'm a nurse appointed to look after you. she was still sweet as her smile. a nurse? But who would appoint a nurse? Was it... I go t excited "Does Mr. Gold asked you to take care of me?" iI asked her expecting she'll nod with a smile on her face but instead she was confused and asked back who is mr. gold? Who appoint you to take care of me? I asked her again... it was Liam.. she replied and now my smile was totally gone. What I was thinking was not true, it was Liam instead? How are you feeling madam? she asked me. I'm fine totally. I replied her with a fake smile and she offered me a warm water. I gulped down the water in one go. It was then she spilled something unexpected. I never thought you will recover after this long. long? what long? I asked her conf
I felt like I have been paralyzed, I no longer was able to move my body. I felt intense pain in my body as if all the bones were breaking into pieces. I fell on the ground on my knee and my whole body was hurting so much. "Mate" I still could hear as Eva said so.., wait for what? Mate? wasn't it the voice I keep hearing from time to time... what the hell was going on? I tried to scream due to pain but I wasn't able to speak. Just then Beast turned towards me and walk slowly. His beautiful black eyes were glowing in the night. The pain in my body had reached its limit... I felt like I was locked up and all I could do was to watch, watch whatever I was seeing. I looked at my hand as it was in pain and then under the moonlight, it begin to change. at first, the hair on the hand was bushed up and then the hair was spread all over the body. I was so panicked as it happened, was I turning into a monster? I was looking down as my longs fingers and small nails were gone, inste
When I was almost asleep there were some noise in the room and I startled awake while looking around. It was Liam in the room along with the man that come earlier to fetch some documents. He smiled at me while Liam was shocked to see me here and I was confused with his reaction. His jaw was literally on the ground. "Liam" I called out for him and my voice drag him back to this world "huh? Ms. Wilson what are you doing here?" he asked me. I gave him a weak smile before answering him with a question "Where is Mr. Gold?" He seemed a bit akward as he turned to the man and ordered "Please leave us alone for a while. Do as I say and came to me before going home" he said to the man. The man nodded at us and leave the office with mw and Liam looking at each other. "So?" I asked him. "Mr. Gold he is in a trip for emergency meeting. He will be home in few hours." He said " But why did you leave home? You were suppose to be ho
He seems to hesitated for a moment but eventually he agreed and got out of the room to get me medicines and warm water. I was still on the bed lying lifelessly with my body as hot as lava. It was quite weird that I would recover any injury and wound but my fever wasn"t leaving me alone. I tossed and turned in the bed with my rapid breathe and dry throat. In a while uncle Frank entered the room with a tray having a glass of water and medicine in it. He helped me seat up straight and shoved it at my back. When I was done sitting he handed me the war water and medicine in my hand. I drank the water and also gulped down my medicine with it. When I was done with it Uncle Frank helped me settling down the bed again. After that he left the room with concerned eyes. It was sure hard to keep my eyes open for sure but it doesn"t mean I was asleep or something like that. I tossed and turned whole night only to found myself awake until midnight. But the worst part was that Mr. Gold
214 I closed my eyes as I thought I was going to fall hard on my face. However the pain that I was expecting never came instead I was caught into a warm and strong arms by a masculine body. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Gold"s handsome face in front of me. I felt sparks all over my body as he scooped me up in the air. I gulped as I look in his face and then I saw his lips slightly curved upside. What the hell, was Mr. Gold smiling? He take me to the dining area still in his arms not letting me to get on my foot. To be honest, I didn"t tried to get down. Not even once. Even though I knew his identity, I couldn"t help but to feel safe in his arms. his truth was not able to take away the feelings I got with him. it was so... weird... "Stupid girl" he mumbled as he put me down on my legs. I glared at him but he don"t even looked at me and sat on his place. I also took out a chair and sat on it. Uncle Frank was just at a side while serving food on the pla
After he was gone, I looked at Mr. Gold and he was staring at me with furrowed eyes. He seems to be thinking something but the way he was staring at me feel a bit...uncomfortable. I get up the table and decided to go to uncle Frank but instead he was coming towards me. "The rice was about to burn indeed. Thanks to you Ms. Wilson or else it might get burnt. Your smelling sense is indeed strong" uncle Frank praised me as he come to the living room. "Strong?" I repeated the sentence in confusion. "I thought it was normal" I mumbled to myself while looking at uncle. Then I looked at Mr. Gold just to find him still looking at me. It was a quite weird that he was looking at me like that and not just for a while but ... does he know that I found out...? This thought made me even more uncomfortable. I got up from there to run away. I can go here and there but I don"t want to sit here. Just as I was about to step on the stairs I heard a voice from behi
