The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Fifty-five – Kill her.

“One more cup of coffee and I’d stop.” Stephanie told herself as she hurried to the dispenser. Why did Nathan bring that thing closer to her office?

She was becoming addicted. She sipped the new cup and smiled. It may not be her last cup, after all. She paused her steps when she heard chattering and yelling from downstairs.

The training for interns ended a week ago. Who else was yelling? Rushing down, with a scowl on her face, she found some staffs circling a place.

“Garcia!” she ran to the middle and pulled Reina from under her. Was she choking the girl? And everyone stood watching her?

Where they scared of her? Reina’s face was wet with tears and she clutched on Stephanie’s skirt.

“This bitch nearly crashed my car screaming ‘let’s catch that man, let’s catch that man’. Bitch, what man?!” Garcia yelled. Reina hid her face.

Stephanie shook her head. It wasn’t right. Reina was never her maid. She’s her student. “Garcia, you’re being ridiculous. Reina isn’t a toy!”

She looked at the staffs watching with infuriation and disappointment, an idea snuck into her head. She cleared her throat and spoke.

“You act like an angel to your fans but can’t treat this little girl right. She nearly crashed you? It’s you who can’t drive, just for a day your driver called in sick. You’re the problem, Garcia!”

The staffs began murmuring and Garcia realized what Stephanie was trying to do; ruin her image.

“Stephanie, Reina is…” she hesitated, “… is my younger sister.”

Stephanie smirked. “Then treat your younger sister right?” she flipped her hair. “Also, finish all your shoots today. For this improper behavior, I’d be canceling your break.”

Garcia balled her fists. “And since when can you do that?”

“Since I became your Secretary.” Stephanie turned to the staffs. “Please, everyone return to your work.” One by one the crowd dispersed, giving snide remarks about Garcia.

Stephanie patted Reina before walking away with the girl, the girl snuck close, sobbing and peeking at Garcia. Garcia gritted her teeth then she stomped off to her studio.

“Thank you!” Reina smiled as Stephanie handed her coffee and chocolate. “I’ve never had these before. It tastes good.”

She met Stephanie shocked expression. “I’m sorry.” She apologized dropping the snacks.

Stephanie held it up to her again. “I’m not mad at you, just shocked. Don’t apologize when you do nothing wrong. Okay?”

Reina nodded, eating her snacks. Stephanie brought out another chair from the cupboard at her office and sat on it.

“So is there a man you want to catch?”

She faced Reina. The girl looked down, biting her lips. “Well, I need to kill him to increase my rank.” She watched Stephanie’s eyes widen.

“Isn’t that too gore? Who is he though?”

“I don’t know actually, that’s why I need to catch him. He had been watching Garcia for long so it’s creeping me out.” The girl groaned.

Stephanie thought hard. What if this man was Jarma? He seemed to be always on Garcia’s trail. For whatever reason.

“Keep this between us but the man watching you isn’t dangerous. I could say I know him. He’s not an enemy.” She whispered to Reina.

Reina looked unsure, then defeat slowly spread on her face. She slumped her shoulders and sulked. “I’d never get to increase my rank then.”

Stephanie laughed. “You kill to increase it?”

She wasn’t expecting the girl to agree but she did. Werewolf system was messed up. Did the government know this? Or didn’t wanna know.

Wasn’t there immunity for werewolves who didn’t want to be in packs? She understood why the girl needed to increase her rank.

She was pushed over by a lot of people. And needed to protect herself. Maybe Garcia would respect her. Also, it’s the wolf thing to do, kill.

Stephanie snapped her fingers. “A pack enemy. They’d always be somebody you need to fight. Find one of them, kill, then increase your rank.”

Reina’s eyes didn’t brighten. “That’d be Johnson. I can’t beat him. He’s an Alpha. Too strong for me.”

Stephanie shook her head from sides to sides, still thinking. “Oh, Cherry. She’s same age with you and has an injured leg. Do kill her.”

She smiled in content. She noticed Reina’s dimmed eyes shaking with fear at the mention of Cherry. She’s scared of her?

Well, if she was really from Johnson’s pack before, and Cherry is such a monster, then no doubt the bitch must have made her life hell.

“She called me garbage. And whipped my back all the time.” Reina’s voice almost broke. “I’d like to use her to increase my rank, but I can’t.”

Stephanie cupped her face. “And why can’t you? If she did all these to you, it should only fuel your anger to get back at her.”

Wasn’t it what werewolves were about? Rank, Revenge and Power. Without which they’d just fade away. “I believe you can kill Cherry.”

It came out of Stephanie and sounded wrong but she brushed it off. Cherry was a monster. And a werewolf, so it shouldn’t bother her a bit.

Reina wiped her wet face, she sniffed. “Only you and the Alpha believe in me. It means a lot really.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Sure. Remember Cherry has an injured leg. Stage a plan for her and kill her. Easy. Not too easy but easy.” Stephanie highfived her.

Reina ran to the door. “Okay, thanks for everything.” She swung the door open and froze. Stephanie noticed and looked over. “Nathan, what are you doing here?”

Reina gulped. Was this the Alpha’s brother? Indeed they had good genes in their home. She wasn’t used to seeing handsome males.

Her eyes tarried on Nathan’s yellow brown eyes then went down plump red lips. She snapped off her stare.

“Hi, I’m Reina.” it sounded awkward, she knew.

“Hi, Rei.” He walked in, pulling her back into the room. Reina’s cheeks flushed as he intertwined his hands with hers to pull her in. And did he just give her a nickname?

“So I heard you wanna kill Cherry? She’s a Delta wolf.” He broke her demeanor and she pouted.

Stephanie slapped Nathan’s arm. “Don’t do that. Reina can make the perfect plan and kill her.”

Reina looked up at Stephanie, who had more confidence in her that she thought exist. “I am an Omega. Just an Omega. Who am I kidding?”

Nathan rubbed his arm, feeling bad for his remark. “Well, if you weaken her with wolfsbane, trap her where she can’t escape, then you kill.”

He glanced at Stephanie who gave him an approving nod.

Reina felt warm. Even the Alpha’s handsome brother believed in her. She ran to the door.

“If you want I could help you with the wolfsbane since it doesn’t affect me. I’d help you kill her too…”

“No!” Nathan roared, drowning Stephanie’s remaining words. “You aren’t killing anyone!”

Reina chuckled, not looking back at them. “It’s okay, Stephanie. Your faith in me is enough. It could get dirty so just stay safe. Bye.”

Stephanie smiled as the girl left the door. She wished her all the luck in the world in handling that little bitch, called Cherry, for her.

She wished she could be there to hear her dying screams. To record it in a phone and use it as a ringtone. It’d be so satisfying.
