35 There is a human scent
Maynard held Barrett closely to his side as they went in, the music stopped and the atmosphere was tense. She saw James, Irvin and Myrvinne running down from the stairs and approached him.
“Who’s on patrol, James?” He asked, as soon as he neared them.
“I have Watson's group watch over the borders tonight.” He replied, later on Agatha and Mielle went to them.
“Hey, was it Gary?” Looking back and forth with the conversation, Barrett knew that there was something happening.
“Most of the children here are either just coming of age and some cannot shift properly yet.” It was Myrvinne who spoke.
“How dare they on the day we got the kids for fun.” He looked painstakingly annoyed as he clasped his temple. They continue the

Their appearances aren’t of normal humans, Barrett shivered at the sight of the two men, she clasped hard on the memento her mother gave her and closed her eyes. Praying to let those humans, no they are creatures, not notice her presence. The closest one step in front of the cabinet that she is hiding at, the creature slowly inspecting the door he was about to touch when the loud knocking of the door caught them on guard. The two immediately run out of the bar. Barrett let out a sigh of relief but still being careful not to make any sound, observing the surroundings and making sure that both creatures had run out. She carefully brought out herself, crawling her way back to the VIP room where she left Mielle. The wolves were running, keeping the prey on their sight surr
Barrett: Heart of Promise 37 Her first task
“I have the report done by Thursday evening.” He replied while sorting out the documents that Denzell has to sign, “I’ve heard that one of the employees is on leave?” he asked his assistant regarding one of the employees that is supposed to deliver the attendees to him. “Ah right, I’ve dealt with it, I’ve found a reliever to her position, also I have notified the human resource department on that matter.” His face clearly shows the dissatisfaction as he remembers how hard it was to debate with the HR Manager as he requested to rush the hiring. “We have a process in the company, it doesn’t mean that you work under the CEO, you will have to overlap ours.” Samantha, who happened to be of the same kind as Gerard has been keeping him outside the box. “It’s an e
Barrett: Heart of Promise 38 A helping hand
“Why did you just tell me now? It’ll take hours to do just a single page of this one!” One of the employees yelled at the other, it seems that the junior employee did forget to remind the Senior secretary of a presentation. Barrett and the rest of the department looked at the scolding Senior employee so early in the morning, it was then the arrival of Gerard the head of the department and asked what the commotion is all about. “It is your negligence as an employee for not keeping things in check, however we see to it, both sides have a fault, as a Senior employee how could you trust this to your subordinate alone?” He did solve the problem but did not let them off the hook by scolding both sides. This is how he managed things, he never took the side of any employee to bring fairness and no favoritism. “No matter how much I

“Gerard, who made this report?” Denzell put down the folder at his table, Gerard looked over it and checked the document. “It was Miss Borton who made this report. She passed this early in the morning.” He informed the CEO who is thinking deeply. “I checked it before submitting, this is quite neat from her reports before, I think she improved.” He added, but still Denzell is not satisfied. “Asked their team and inquired who helped her do the report.” He ordered him again, so Gerard got curious, “May I ask why? You look troubled.” “There’s just one thing I need to confirm. That’s all.” It seems that he doesn’t want to explain further so Gerard only nodded and went out of the office. On his way, he saw the team he sc
Barrett: Heart of Promise 40 My boss is my suitor
“Denzell?” It was a first name basis and Gerard inches an eyebrow upon hearing it, who dared call the dragon king and CEO by his first name? However, as he looks at Denzell, he is amused at the current situation and quickly gets it. She is the woman of the rumors, the girl who has knocked off the hard stone heart of this cold dragon. “So you happen to know each other?” He quickly asked, the way Denzell looks at him could cut him into half already but he immediately refutes. “I didn’t do any research.” He mouthed to him. Denzell cleared his throat and immediately turned to Barrett, he had been missing this face and wanted to embrace her but he needed restraint. “So… Barrett, you actually applied here at IIC?” He confirms.
Barrett: Heart of Promise 41 Caught with the Mafias
The management meeting proceeded as planned and was wrapped up in a good flag. The directors were all satisfied once again from the results that the IIC has presented, and of course the report that Barrett has made has made a big impact. “The summative report was made so well, I didn’t have a hard time ingesting the information, you got yourself a good secretary Mr. Edelgard.” One of the Board of Directors, Mr. Rodneil, also one of those who knew the Dragon Kin, keeps on singing praises to his long time business partner and friend. You may look at them like a father and son, however, it was the other way around. Cristellon Rodneil is a descendant of one of the few servants of the Dragon King, it was a long family history that was protected by both the Edelgards and his family. The family has been in the guidance and protection of the Dragon King as well as th
Barrett: Heart of Promise 42 Welcome Party to disaster
The commotion was long forgotten by everyone in the department as the news spread that the welcoming party will be held in the evening. To add more about the good news, the whole company was informed of the dating rumor of the CEO. It is like a wildfire that cannot be stopped, passed by mouth to mouth and even an addition of facts and actualities, once again the woman of the rumor came to rise. The restaurants had a classic Chinese style interior, as you enter the lobby you can see a huge imitation of a cherry tree in the middle of a man made swamp. The dim light accentuates the pink blossoms and makes you feel like in an ancient scenery you watch in movies. Barrett was amazed at how pretty it was. Everyone seated in the reserved hall for the secretarial department was served with the best cuisines and desserts, she enjoyed the night eating together with her
Barrett: Heart of Promise 43 I know you are a wolf
There is an unspoken dislike between Agatha and Damien as she turns to the two. “Hey Barrett, so are you coming with us?” Agatha again asked her, it’s like she’s throwing down the gauntlet to Damien who shows a clear discontentment with the two. “Isn’t it a bit late, and Barrett already got a few drinks. It’s better to head home.” Damien interrupts Agatha. “Hey! I am asking Barrett! Not you!” “Uhm, you two please.” Barrett was torn between the two and was so noisy that the other people noticed them. Denzell and Gerard who just finished paying the bill went out of the door and saw the commotion. “Aha! That’s interesting!” Gerard said, “How can she get involved with the wolves? Do you know this?”
