The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Forty-Two – An Answer.

It made sense. Everything made sense. Apart from why she was saw him in her dreams when she hadn’t seen him before.

Was it related to her memory being lost when she was younger. It took her painful memories away, an accident after she had been adopted.

Her mother had said she lived more happily so the accident was somehow a good thing. Could that dream be part of the memory?

Then it meant she had seen Nathan before.

Nathan returned with ice-cream for all of them. He handed to her sisters and walked back to her. “I’d never tell you a sad story in my life again.”

Stephanie rolled his eyes. Did he think that was why she cried?

His story was sad but knowing and seeing all he passed through in her dream, she couldn’t help but cry. She wanted to save the girl so badly.

Now she knew who it was, she was so eager to protect him from everything else. She resisted the urge to hug him and rather patted his back.

Nathan eyed her. She made him panic for nothing. Whatever had affected her mood must have gone to her brain? What’d she mean she saw him in her dreams? What’s he doing there?

Macy and Lacy ran to them, with puppy faces. “Stephanie, a friends of ours says he’s hungry and we are out of hotdogs.” They pouted.

Nathan searched for the boy’s mother but saw no one. He looked like lost or a homeless child. “Get him food. I’d ask for his mom.”

Stephanie nodded and left. Nathan returned with the sisters to the boy. “Hey,” he crouched to the boy’s size. “Where’s your mom or dad?”

The boy gazed at Nathan’s eyes before looking away towards the hotdog store. Stephanie was already walking to them with a hotdog.

“Could you tell me who brought you here?” Nathan gently brought the boy’s face to him.

“My Alpha did. But I think he lost me. I don’t know… I don’t know where he is.” He muttered. Macy and Lacy looked at him with glazed eyes.

Nathan breathed out. “Okay. What does your Alpha look like?” He low-key hoped it was any Alpha other than Johnson.

Stephanie handed the boy the hotdog, he grabbed it with both hands and smiled at her. She smiled back and returned to the bench.

“He’s hair is dyed blue and he wore pink gown.”

Nathan nodded. That’s feels gay. Definitely not Johnson.

“My dad was a Beta but passed away last week so my Alpha promised to take me to the park but he now he lost me.” The boy sighed.

Macy rubbed her hands. “Alphas are bad.” She said nonchalantly.

Nathan raised a brow. “How’d you know?”

Macy came closer to him. “Someone called that wolf Alpha. He’s bad too.” She folded her arms. Nathan sighed. Her experience with Johnson was surely haunting her.

“Okay. What’s your name?” He faced the boy.

“Lucas.”

Nathan smiled. “Lucas? You’re Beta Devon’s son?”

The boy pouted. “You knew my dad?”

Nathan patted the boy and brought him along with the girls. The universe was giving him an answer to the pending war between the packs.

“Who’s the handsome man then?” Stephanie got up with her purse.

She handed it to Lacy but Macy began dragging for who’d hold it. She rolled her eyes and focused on the young boy.

“He’s Lucas. I know his pack. My sister and his father were good friends. I can send him back home.” They all got in the car and drove off.

Minutes later, he stopped at a restaurant and got out with Lucas. “Stay here. I’d be back.”

Stephanie shrugged. “Okay. Hurry.”

The nauseating smell of cocaine hit his nose as he approached the restaurant. He wrinkled his nose and kept Lucas behind him, shielding him from the smell.

“It’s okay. I come here everyday, I’m used to it.”

Nathan gazed at the boy, worriedly. “Then you need a lung checkup.”

A middle aged woman rushed to them when they walked in and Nathan heard Lucas call her grandma. He exhaled, at least the boy was safe.

“The Alpha isn’t here. Neither the Delta. Thank you for bringing him back but please come back another time.” The middle aged woman said.

“No worries. Remember, tell your Alpha that a person from Pure Silver Pack found Lucas and wants to see him.” The lady nodded.

He got a beep as he returned to his car. He saw Macy and Lacy waving at him. With the way they’ve bonded with him over times, with Stephanie, they all looked like a family of four.

The smile creeping to his face from his thoughts, made a downward turn when his saw his message. It was from the J-twins.

“We heard things are getting heated up at the pack so we’d be coming back. They’d be a party, and you’re invited with your GIRLFRIEND to come and take the 10 million dollars.”

He slammed the car door and started it. Stephanie was stunned at the aggression and the way he drove hurriedly back to her house.

“Hey, they are kids in the car!” She hit his arm.

“We love it!” Macy cheered as he made a turn, overtaking a car. Nathan smirked at Stephanie’s annoyed face. “You love it too.”

She stomped out when they were at their door step, she opened the car door for her sisters who thanked Nathan and ran inside.

Lacy yelled. “Mom, I made two friends today. One is Lana and Lucas.”

“No, Lucas is my friend not yours.” Macy interrupted. “We ate hot dogs. Twice!”

Stephanie heaved a sigh. “Would they make it obvious they hardly came out? Anyways, thanks for making their day.”

Nathan shrugged. “Sure. Now please would you do this favor for me, it’d legit make my own day.”

Stephanie gave him a cautious look. Nathan took it as a yes and narrated his ‘plan of win-win’ for a coming party the popular J-twins were hosting.

“So,” Stephanie cleared her throat. “My gain of acting like your girlfriend for the party is half a million dollars, a chance to be at the J-twins party, and you’d be my chauffer for a month?”

Nathan nodded. He pondered on if he should remove the last one or not but he’d already said it. Stephanie breathed in and out.

Today, someone had bought an expensive machine for them and the hospital were about giving them hundreds of dollars for it.

Now, she was entitled to half a million dollars if she acted like his girlfriend for a day? It was too good to be true.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Things with Nathan seemed to good to be true. Since she became his secretary, she couldn’t even remember lacking money.

Every week there was a standard pay check paid for being a worker at Pure Silver Company and that took her for two weeks.

She breathed in and out again. “I am damn taking the offer. Am I to flirt with you too make it real?” she crossed her legs.

Nathan grinned. He wished. But the acting had to be real enough or the J-twins could jeopardize everything and maybe reveal that it was a dare.

“As real as reality. Forget my flaws and act like you actually love me. Okay?” he began shopping for a dress online.

Stephanie smirked. It wouldn’t be hard to act like she loved him. She didn’t hate him, she didn’t love him in a special way either.

“Here. Do you like this?” He showed her a short sleeved red gown with a slit.

She gawked at it. “Love it.”

He nodded “Good. I’d bring it along tomorrow.”
