20 The first interview question

The day of the interview, Maynard insisted on driving her on her way to the company which she firmly refused, however the two headstrong people collided. The only thing that he has advantage is his persistence while her weakness is her will to argue. In the end, he came early in the morning to pick her up.    "Are you ready?" Maynard asked her when they were near the company.    "Now that you mentioned, I feel like I'm starting to feel nervous." She kept her hands clasped together.    "You can do it, so far from what I see, you're the type who is easy to be likeable." keeping the eye on the road he stopped the car in the drop off area, then he faced Barrett one more time.    "Good luck Barrett, I

21 Do you have a dog?

“Achoooo!” The current situation for him was quite difficult, he has been sneezing ever since the applicant named Barrett Adelaide entered the interview room. Is it his karma for teasing his boss earlier? “I’m sorry for this disgraceful act Miss Adelaide, but do you happen to own a dog?” he asked her, with a confused mind she replied, “No Sir, I don’t have any.” It was his only allergy in the human world, he thought that he would be friends with the man’s best friend, the cute little creature, however the fur makes him allergic so that he can’t even pat its head. “It was my only allergy that even the smell makes me sneeze.” He said, with these remarks he saw that her face grimaced, he covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief to at least lessen the sneezing. “Do you mean I smell like a dog Sir?” it was clearly shown the offense on her face, that later on

22 Run and hide

“What is that mutt doing here?” It was Gerard who was looking out the window from the meeting room. Right after the screening process he immediately collated the selected applicants and brought them to Denzell as they waited for the Board of Directors meeting. “What do you mean?” Without looking at his secretary he continued to sign the papers without even checking it. “There is a werewolf at the waiting area, must have someone he knew here, but his kind shouldn’t be here in the open if he knew his position.” He smirked. “Who exactly is it?” he inquired of the man behind him, “Well, it’s none other than the main culprit why we are here right now waiting for the Boards.” With this Denzel knew who it was, the past incident that has been concluded in one of the exclusive estab

23 I'm glad it was you

After the long meeting about the death of one of their business partners as well as the fact that the wolves are making their move, Denzell felt tired. He suddenly wants to visit the Pisces and Gem cafe that he went to last time, it is not like he favored the service or wanted to have a coffee. It was just his feet that brought him to the front of the store. Since it was a bit late when he got off in front of the office, he expected that the store was about to close.    “What coffee would you like Sir?” He was greeted by the last staff remaining in the cafe.   “None, you may continue closing. I was just actually looking around.” he smiled at the young man who was brightly looking at him.   “No I can’t my lord! I mean--- ugh sir?” he paused for the slip of the tongue. “I

24 Denzell and Maynard

“Miss Barrett, wake up.” He gently touched the loose hair on her face and that made her frown a bit later she slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face and a fair of those pretty grey eyes. “I!” she exclaimed, how could she have fallen asleep with the person who helped her? She was so flustered for being neglected.   “I think you were exhausted from the events tonight so I let you rest.” How can he be so considerate of her was on Barrett’s mind.    “I’m sorry, did I sleep long?” She looked out the window and saw that they had already arrived in front of her apartment, with this she felt more apologetic about sleeping.   “It’s fine, we just arrived a minute ago.”

25 The wolf 's date and the crime

As if her body was like a log, she kept her eyes covered with her hand when the sunlight blinded her. Still blankly lying on her bed she turns to look for her phone and sees that the time is already past eight in the morning. She got a class at nine, if she got up now she might be able to make it to half the lecture.   Every move she makes is slow and it's like her own body is unwilling to cooperate, but she has to attend the class and Barrett never misses any of it. Sleep still lingering on her head, she lazily grabs her bag and phone as she opens the door of her room a tall build of a man greets her.   “I thought you were dead, not moving at all.” He greeted her, it still had to absorb and sink it in her head when Maynard reached out his hand and cupped her face.  It was too close

26 Her Guardian

“Ah! Ahh!” her trembling screams echoes in the hallway of the whole floor. Barrett before her is a scene that makes her stomach turn upside down and she vomits. The horrible scene makes her sick, Maynard who looks back at her quickly grabs her as she loses her consciousness.   Blood.   Maynard frowns as the stinky smell of blood lingers on his nose. A minute later the owner of the apartment who came running upstairs called the police to inspect the room.    “It is animal blood not human.” said the police who are in charge of the case. “How did you know? There’s a lot of mess inside.” It was the old woman who is the owner of the apartment. “Apparently, we saw some animal fur around, and a feather so we guess it was a mixture

27 Polaroids

The investigation was later on passed with the mafia organization and the lead is just like what they were thinking. The perpetrators are not only humans, the events are misleading them. The one who follows Barrett the night after her shift, the shadow lounging around the apartment and the dirty mess in her apartment are all different.    "It doesn't make sense." Irvin uttered to the twins, "How can a simple human like her who has lived like a ghost suddenly get targeted like this?"    "This is really suspicious, from the first time I saw her there's something different." Irvin continued.    "What are you implying then?" Maynard raised his brow to ask the bold suspicion of his cousin.  "Remember the meeting w

28 More about you

The night after that incident, Barrett never came back to the apartment, she only collected a few clothes and other important documents and just stayed over the unit that Faera had arranged for her. She also submitted a resignation letter to her part time job. “It is lonely that another employee has to leave again.” the duty manager spoke as she handed the clearance form, it was her last duty. “I’m sorry for that Sir, it’s just something that happens sometimes.” She felt sorry, even though she is a part timer, the working environment in the diner was good.“Well, just like you said, things happen. It’s just a pain in the neck to hire again.” he complains.“If I were to hire, I need to find so

29 The woman of the rumors

It was another lazy afternoon, just right after her morning class she went back home. Since she resigned from her part time job, she is as free as air. She checked on her internship application at the IIC website.   “It's still for review.” She pondered how long it took to know if she passed or not, so she then tried looking for other job sites. She still has enough savings and her last paycheck from her last job.   “If I have to take a new job, I better buy clothes for the interview.” Since her last job was at a diner, she didn't have to wear formal clothes, only a collared shirt and jeans was what she wore during the interview process.   “Let’s have a look at the boutiques.” Deciding to go out, she wore a pair of her worn out sneakers, her face grimacing at the thought tha
