Wearing an inch black shoes, a gray colored fitted pencil cut skirt and a tucked in light blue polo sleeves which she rolled up to her elbow so it won’t look like it is oversized on her. She had her hair tied in a clean ponytail, to touch up her appearance she decided to put on some face powder and colored her lips with her only lipgloss on the pouch.

“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

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

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

“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.”

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.

“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?

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.
