The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Sixty-Three – Irritated and Jealous.

Nathan checked all calls to company lines made by anyone of the workers. The bomber had had permission to enter in by security.

It only meant that an insider called him in. He had a betrayer in his company, and someone who wanted to die with the building?

It was clear no one left so whoever called the plumber must have wanted to be killed as well. It made little sense.

“Run it again, and run for texts. Check for yesterday. They might have made the call yesterday.” Nathan said to the programmer.

The man ran it again raised his hands. “Yesterday, an ID Garcia Carlos, called the Plumbing House and they agreed to send someone by morning.”

Nathan sped out to the studio room, he slowed down his pace. There was no way Garcia would have called a bomber to his building.

She must have been deceived. He banged at her dressing room and frowned when he saw a smile on her face, on seeing him.

“You know you’re in trouble, right?” he barged into the room, shutting the door.

Garcia’s smile fell. What did she do? He barely visited her since he started dating Stephanie and now he did, she was in trouble? “Why is that?”

“The plumber you invited was a bomber. You called him without informing the secretary and look what it caused.” Nathan glared at her.

She placed her hands in her chest, feeling the anxiety she felt when she heard the news. No wonder the plumber didn’t arrive today.

She quickly explained. “My necklace fell in my toilet, I called him to fix that.”

Nathan wrinkled his brow. Was that something to fix? It was obvious that her ignorance had been played upon.

“And this person had your timetable.” Nathan rubbed his face. “He knew you won’t meet him when he came as you’re having shoots.”

The model flipped her hair. “It was right he didn’t bother me.” She went to her dressing mirror.

Nathan sighed and made to open the door.

“Also, I heard Stephanie was shot?” he left the door and turned to her, nodding, “Did she die?” Garcia further ask.

There was no emotion in it, no worry, no happiness, just a flat question.

“She dodged before I disarmed the man. No one got hit by bullets.” He replied.

Garcia applied powder to her face. “Hmm.. you make a good boyfriend. She’d be glad. Don’t worry about this incident. Bad things happen.”

Nathan wasn’t sure how to feel about Garcia’s advice. He shrugged. “Thanks.”

She smiled. “Sure. A bad thing happened to me recently. Reina. Alpha said I should protect her but she came home one day with bruises. I haven’t been able to explain to Alpha yet.”

Nathan nodded, feigning ignorance. “I’d go talk to her for a bit.” Garcia pointed at the other room where she was.

He got in and found her roped to a chair. Not what he expected but she must’ve caused Reina lots of distress to be in such shape.

He dragged a seat closer to her and sat on it. “Hey, so you’re alive.” He sounded cheerful. Reina glazed at him and dragged her eyes down.

“Left with me, I think it’s really cool that you’re alive. Is Cherry alive too?” He frowned when Reina nodded.

Things might not have played out right then. An omega and a Delta, the results were quite obvious.

“And then Garcia punished you for sneaking out. You deserve to feel sad.” Nathan smiled.

Reina exhaled. “But, I’m glad I get to beat Cherry a bit. I was stupid, I should have stabbed her before leaving but I thought it’d be wrong.”

Nathan tilted his head, pushing himself closer? She had a chance to kill Cherry but thought it’d be wrong? Why? Wasn’t it what she went to do earlier. “What’s the wrong about that?”

“Well,” Reina adjusted herself on her seat. “I didn’t defeat her. The last blow was given to her by a man in a tuxedo jacket, named Jarma.”

A shiver ran down Nathan’s spine. That man had met Reina too? His name was a cold name to answer. He bit his lips, signaling for her to go on. “Did you see his face?”

She shrugged. “No, but Stephanie said he was nice and he saved me so he’s nice.”

“Wait, Stephanie said he’s nice? Steph… Stephanie had… had seen Jarma before?” Nathan stammered.

Reina felt she shouldn’t have spat that out. Stephanie did say to keep it between them but she wasn’t sure why since Jarma was nice.

“Um… yeah. But he’s nice really. He seems to like Garcia a bit too.” She added the last part with contempt.

Nathan shook his legs uncomfortably. Why didn’t Stephanie tell him she made friends with the balance? Named Jarma?

He was not an easy balance. Jarma was more of a spiritual name parents give kids they feel have a stronger aura. Like naming them after gods.

If Stephanie made a new friend she knew he’d be interested in, why not just tell him? “Um.. did Stephanie say anything else about Jarma?”

Reina pointed herself. “I met him. He’s cool and knows my real name, Gabi. He gave me his tux, which I later dropped at a spot and he took it. I know he follows me and it’s kinda cool now.”

Nathan left his chair. She was just over the guy. Gushing over him in every sentence. If this Jarma was the balance and was being friendly with Stephanie, Reina, Garcia, but attacking Johnson then it’s clear who his side is. Theirs.

He’s not a balance much anymore but an ally. He could just stay with them and plan the things together. Why live in his fake ninja world?

“You look irritated.” Reina pointed out with a smirk. “You’re not irritated, are you?”

“Maybe I am. You’re sure Stephanie didn’t say anything else?”

Reina laughed. “You’re jealous too? Ahh, that’s right, I heard you and Stephanie are dating. Maybe that’s why she’d never gush about him with you. He’s cool though.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathan made a hard eye roll. Couldn’t she stop using the word ‘cool’? “I’m cool too.”

The door flung open and Garcia peeked into them. “Nathan, do you think I should release her, I don’t want her having calluses or…”

“No, leave her here for a bit.” Nathan advised. Garcia looked from Riena to him. She shrugged and gave a thumps up, leaving the room.

Reina widened her eyes. “Why’d you do that?”

“So you won’t be gushing over men you see on the streets. And if you remember anything, tell me first.” He pointed and marched out.

Stephanie didn’t tell him about Jarma for what reason? He felt a ping from his phone and checked to see a text from Ashley.

She had an emergency at the pack and needed to leave Stephanie’s side at the hospital. Stephanie had sustained a head injury when she fainted by hitting her head on the marble stones in the toilet.

Nathan texted back that he’d be there. Stephanie had to explain to him why Jarma had to be a secret? What’s there not to tell?
