The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Forty-Three – Don’t Leave.

Stephanie got down the car, pinching her nose as the smell of drugs struck her. The place looked classy and she felt giddy.

Nathan came out from the driver’s seat. She helped him tighten his shirt.

“Another reason I’m following you in there is because I don’t want you getting touched by people and getting a convulsion.”

Nathan nodded and stretched his arm. He looked over her on red knee length gown, not too tight but defining her curves.

He had never seen her in such dresses, she never wore them but it’d look good on her. If something didn’t fit her much, it’d be the makeup but they complimented everything.

Stephanie exhaled. “Okay. I’m in girlfriend mode. Don’t be scared if I act too touchy. I’m acting.”

They both cat walked into the party, Nathan gave smiles to the folks from his pack who greeted him.

Stephanie put on a possessive girlfriend act, glaring at every girl who stared at Nathan.

“Okay, we went past the door. The pack would believe I have a girlfriend so J-twins would never suspect.” He declared. “Now, unto J-twins.”

Stephanie held unto his arm tightly. “Can I ask though? If I am discovered somehow, will I go to prison for acting as your girlfriend?”

Nathan chuckled. “Of course not. But if they doubt, just rush and kiss me, they’d immediately believe.”

Stephanie frowned. It better not get to that extent. She’d rush and leave, instead. She sighted the two men sitting besides some girls.

Nathan shook hands with them and they sat at the cushion. Her dress went higher and she felt very uncomfortable sitting.

Nathan noticed and held her hands across her thighs. “So how was your holiday in Miami?” he asked the twins.

Jasper raised his brow, looking Stephanie over. “Hmm, good.” He answered, nonchalantly. His twin leaned over at Nathan, “You’re lucky.”

They knew Stephanie. Actually a friend of there’s that attended university with her said she never dated and rebuffed all men.

She was a bright student and never let any man into her life. Nathan must have really upped his game to make her fall.

“What’s your secret?” Jacob whispered again.

Stephanie looked around her, uninterested. Was this a club? It looked worse than she imagined.

“I employed her as a secretary. Showed her a lot of good stuff. Acted smart too. Turned out she prefer CEOs to Bad boys.” Nathan smirked.

They nodded, convinced. “Well, we are bad boys. Guess we’d never got a chance.”

Stephanie was shocked when Nathan told her the deal was done. She had expected more questions, an interview perhaps.

Or maybe for both of them to dance at the club together. Or she do a lap dance. She had thought far but it was all ended?

“Well, we may need to be in the act for a while. Incase they ask someone to watch us. They’re paying next week.” He added, leading her out.

Stephanie exhaled. “It happened faster than I thought.” She was quite disappointed.

Nathan studied her expression. Should he add they could make it real? Or was he going to get slapped? He decided not to add.

“Hungry? You look amazing so we can show off your dress at a restaurant.”

Stephanie laughed but made a straight face immediately. “I am dying in these heels. And these dress keeps shrinking. Take me home.”

They almost got into the car when a man bumped into Nathan nearly, taking him off his feet. It was quick and the man began running.

It was intentional and Nathan find out his wallet was gone. He sighed, basically nothing was in it. At least, not in that wallet. It was a fancy wallet.

But he wanted to impress Stephanie so he speed-ran to the man and knocked him out from behind, retrieving his wallet.

Stephanie watched him in shock, he waved his wallet with a victorious smirk. Did he think the world was a game? Why did he run like that?

Her face twisted when she noticed him suddenly gasping for air. Had the man drugged him?

“Nathan? Are you okay?” she ran to him. She heard his breathing quicken, and he squeezed her hand.

“Contact with humans. My drug is wearing out. I’m getting into a convulsion.” He groaned.

“Oh, shit!” She took his keys and ran to his car. After debating whether she should drive or not, she drove his car towards him.

She helped him in and sped to the nearest hospital. It was a Toyota car. If she crashed it, she’d only work for three months to pay back.

“You should carry more than one shot, Nathan!” she scolded as she drove.

Nathan smirked at the back of the car but he did not let her see him. Nothing was wrong with him. He wasn’t crazy to carry one shot when going to a party filled with people.

He just wasn’t ready to end the day, and she was looking really beautiful.

If she didn’t want to follow him to a restaurant, at least they could go to a hospital.

Of course, his doctor didn’t see anything. He glanced at Stephanie, who was watching worriedly, and then at Nathan, who was faking pains.

Not wanting to blow whatever game Nathan was playing, he said. “Nathan, you’d be okay. You can leave now but please eat fruits tonight.”

Nathan frowned. He knew whenever the doctor told him to eat fruits, it meant he knew he was faking a problem. He knew him too much.

The doctor smirked and left. “Good night.”

Stephanie exhaled, and slapped Nathan’s arm. “Don’t make this mistake again. You scared me.”

It was the first damn time she had ignored the speed limit, how no police car stopped her along the way surprised her.

“I’m sorry. I’d be more careful but you didn’t know you can drive.” He got up. “Should I buy you a car?”

He heard no response from her so shook his head. She was an independent woman. “Forget that. I didn’t ask.”

“Better.” She left the ward.

He hurriedly followed her out. “But don’t you think you’d make a good girlfriend though?”

She paused and glared at him. He raised his hands in surrender. “Again, sorry, I didn’t ask.”

He frowned as they were heading outside the ward section, he didn’t want her to leave just yet. “I’m a bit hungry, could we go to a restaurant first?”

“Go without me.” She replied, walking even faster out.

Nathan sighed. In a rush of adrenaline, caused by slight panic, he pushed her towards a half opened ward door and they both fell inside.

“Nathan! Are you crazy! Do you want to rip the dress from my body!” She pushed him from atop her and got up.

Nathan stayed on the ground. He didn’t expect to fall, his back hurt. He laid flat. “Sorry.”

Stephanie looked at the patient whose ward they crashed into. It was a girl. She was half awake, looking at them. “I’m sorry we barged in, dear.”

Nathan jumped to his feet, hearing her speak to someone.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Hello, Stephanie.” The girl smirked.

Stephanie’s face twisted. “Wait, you? The girl who kidnapped Macy and kicked me?”

The girl smirked. “The name’s Cherry. Nice to meet you.”
