Chapter 93
Karien's Pov
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point." His words were always like a puzzle, difficult for me to understand.
"It's not nonsense dude. You are the one to ask me to meet alone with you. Now tell me, how should I take your statements as?" He says which was completely senseless to think for someone at his age.
Fuck his age, he was never mature enough whenever he was with me. Always acting crazy was his hobby and irritating me was on his first priority list every time.
"If you are done with your joke, I am ending the call. Get your ass on time for the meeting." I hung the call and shook my head, getting back to files again.
These piles of files were giving me headaches. Though I checked it last night too, there was still more to go. I gathered them all and dumped them inside my office suitcase.
I guess I will be busy with these files before I meet with Stephen. I carried my office suitcase and stepped outside
Chapter 94Karien's PovFor the first time, I was observing my staff continuously. I wouldn't have done it but I couldn't resist when I saw her behavior towards Debra.When I had my first conversation with her, I felt she was different from other staff among the Vampires. She was calm and gentle. She didn't even hesitate to train Debra though she was the biggest enemy of the Vampires.But I couldn't understand why she was acting strange today. I examined her every activity and every movement.However, I had a meeting with Stephen so I stepped out from the company for some hours.I walked out of my cabin, grabbing my phone. After a few steps away, I could hear Debra typing something on the laptop. I was sure she was practicing typing.She looked up at me, I was standing at the door. We both had an awfully awkward moment our eyes meet at the same time."Do you need something?" She asked as I didn't say anything except stare at he
Chapter 95Karien's Pov"Don't act like you know nothing about my father's schemes. I know you are involved too. I took you as a close friend but you are no different from my father." I muttered, expressing the disappointment in my tone."Can you be more obvious? I thought you had a good relation with your father. I remember how you used to say that your father was your idol." His face is wrinkled in confusion as he replies.His face clearly showed that he was confused and shocked by my statements."I thought too but I was wrong. He was spying on me and was watching me the whole time. He didn't trust me with the mission and secretly hired people to stalk me. And I know you are one of them too. " I was quite angry when I was talking."Seriously, your father did what? Stalking... No way. He trusts you more than anyone. You must be mistaken Karien. And How come you thought I was involved with your father? You are not serious, are you Karien? "
Chapter 96Karien's Pov"Promise? What kind of promise?" I raised a question."Promise that you......you will be designing the dress for my current girlfriend. She loves your design, dude... Just do me this favor."Seriously, that's it. That's all he was going to ask for. I rolled my eyes as I smacked his back out of his annoying behavior."I thought up as important but when will you get serious in your life, Stephen?" I replied, Jerking my hands as he was trying to catch up when I had smacked him."Can't you be a little bit gentle with your hands? They hurt so badly. And my girlfriend is important too just like Debra is to you." He answered back which was quite surprising.He never used to ask for a favor from me for his ex-girlfriends. And now, he was debating for her."Really, since when your girlfriends are important to you. You always dated struggling actresses for sex. And you better don't involve Debra between your girlf
Chapter 97Debra's PovWhat's wrong with me today? Kristen's just staff and she was doing whatever she was supposed to do. Why am I getting so jealous of her today?The way she was talking with him, the way she was looking at him, was making me insecure and angry. And Karien, what's his problem?I was observing him from the morning, he kept staring at her. I don't remember him observing her before like the way he did today.And Kristen, why does she have to appear everywhere he goes? I was dumbfounded as I had no idea what was going between them.Now he has gone for two hours already. He told me he would return in two hours but it's almost three hours. Where the hell was he having a meeting so late?"Any problem, Debra." Kristen appeared in my cabin unexpectedly.What timing she has? I was just thinking about her and she was already here.I smiled hesitantly, stopping whatever I was doing."Ahhh... No, I am fine.
Chapter 98Debra's Pov"I.......I...observed her while she said I called her and told her to wait. I swear Deb, I have never done that." He said.He was correct, anyone would catch her lie including Karien. He was a smart man, and he would know already that she was lying to him and also me."Ya... But let her go. She must have had some problems going through and forgotten what was real and what was not." I uttered as I wanted to let the past be past and forget that part from my life.Kristen was my colleague and she had been helpful to me since the first day so I can't skip the fact she helped me before and, judge her because of her small lie... I should at least give her a chance to explain or a sincere apology."That's my girl, You really have a big heart, Deb. No doubt you are my girlfriend." He replied when I suddenly pushed him away."Ohh really Karien. So that's the reason why you didn't notify me about arriving late cause you t
Chapter 99Karien's Pov"You okay?" I raised a question to her when she was crying out my name in the middle of the night.She was fine before I left her in the room. It was strange when I heard her calling my name. I thought she was attacked by some werewolves but when I entered her room, she was wet in her sweats.She murmured continuously as she did before in the mansion. She must be having nightmares again. I shook her and she hardly came to consciousness.When she did, she stares at me like she wasn't expecting me to be there. She sobbed as she saw me and squeezed me in her arms."You are alive, you are alive, Karien" she continues to repeat it after finding me in her room."Of course, I am alive. Why? You want me to die?" I said and she jerked and stared at me."No...never... You can't die without my permission. I won't let you die." She replied pulling me towards her again.I didn't know what she dreamed about but
Chapter 100Karien's Pov"Stop teasing Deb, get in the car, we are getting late," I said realizing it was already late for the office.She shrugged as she get inside the car and rolled her eyes. For as long as I remember she was the one who was shouting for getting late.And she had forgotten it so quickly. She pulled the seat belt forcefully and put it on. Woh, why does this girl get upset so easily?My phone rings right before I was going to start the car. And that's where my wait was over. Call from the Stephen. Great.I hurriedly picked the phone and muttered, "Did you get it?""What do you think? Of course, I got it. Now be ready to do what you promised." Thank Devil, he did it."Alright. Think of it as done. Now tell me when has she fixed the appointment?" I asked jumping to the time as I was eager to meet her."Sharp midnight, Friday night. She said she can cancel the meeting if you don't get in time." He said war
Chapter 101Debra's PovEventually, I got the chance to see Teresa. I missed her so much and I had a lot to chat with her, starting with our relationship.After work, we both ride for the mansion. It was forecasted to snow around the day tomorrow and the Karien meeting was to be held tonight.Gladly, it wasn't snowing tonight cause it had, Karien could be stuck in the way to the mansion. Our car was parked outside the mansion in the corridor.Time to give a surprise to Teresa, I had requested Karien, not to inform Teresa about our arrival. So it was the secret plan.The bell was pressed by the Karien, we were ready to surprise her and I was so excited for that. I was biting my nails and waiting for her reaction.Great, I can scent her fragrance and hear her footstep getting to the door."Do we really need to do this?" He whispered as he was not that excited about my plan."Shhhhhhhhhh.....stay quiet. She is coming." I sa
