Chapter 19

MEGAN'S POV

My lips curled into a soft smile as I wrapped my hands around my father's giant arms. After a while, we disengaged the hug, and he continued. “Don't worry, my dearest Meg. As far as I'm concerned, no one can hurt even a strand of your hair.”

“Thank you, Dad.” I mouthed, and for the first time in so many years, I felt safe and loved.

Taking a deep sigh, he continued. “Don't forget. Tomorrow, you'll be resuming fully at the Wolf's Joint empire as the MD in charge of every operation.”

I shook my head slightly, and his eyes narrowed with a mixture of confusion and astonishment. That offer… Every single werewolf would die to get it. “What? You don't want to? Meg, this is your befitting position in the Wolf's clan as not just the Moon Heiress, but also as my daughter.”

“Dad, you know I've been hiding my identity. Making me the MD out of the blue is like telling everyone that I'm the Alpha Queen. I'm not yet ready to reveal my true identity. Just see this as an undercover supervision. Please don't say no.” I continued with a pleading voice.

Reluctantly, he sighed. “Are you sure about this, Megan? Every werewolf would die to be in this position."

“I'm sure, Dad. This is what I want; please don't refuse.” I pleaded, and he patted my shoulder.

“Fine. You can start with becoming the new project manager. If you, by any chance, do not feel comfortable with this position, do not hesitate to let me know, okay?” He said, and I nodded my head. “Yes, Dad.”

The next day, I was dressed in my corporate attire with a dark shade, matching my black pair of trousers. “Stop.” I snapped, making the driver halt the car abruptly as he quickly turned to look at me.

“Ma'am, we're four poles away from the company. Why do you want to stop here?” He inquired anxiously.

I quickly took off the expensive jewelry on my wrist and neck. “I'll take a cab to the company. You don't have to drive me there.”

“Ma'am?” The driver called out with fear in his eyes and voice. “I really don't want to lose my job.” His voice was hoarse and anxious.

“You won't lose your job. Don't worry, I specifically asked you to drop me here, so there's nothing to worry about.” I replied as I got out of the car and flagged down a cab that I quickly entered. As a project manager, why would a Maybach be driving me to work? That will only raise suspicions that I don't want… At least, not now.

The cab drove straight into the skyscraper. I took off my shade as I got out of the cab and headed into the building. Even though I was still at the entrance, I could hear two workers clearly talking at the counter.

“The new project manager starts today. Super young. Twenty bucks says she's all looks and no skills.” The first lady whispered, and they chuckled.

The other lady, who looks domineering and proud, continued with a definite voice. “Make it a hundred and fifty. She's probably someone with a rich sugar daddy. Otherwise I would have that manager position.”

Oh! I just got here, and I already have a competition. Intriguing! Holding my cup of piping hot coffee, I tried to walk past them when the domineering lady snatched the coffee from me. I raised my brows, confused, to look at her. “You must be the new assistant.”

Before I could say another word, she was already gulping down the contents of the cup. “You need to remember two extra sugars, okay?”

“A thousand bucks says you'll spit that out in three seconds.” I snapped. She rolled her eyes and continued sipping from the cup. “Hello, I'm your new project manager, and I decide who stays and who gets fired…”

I was still speaking when she spit the coffee out on the first lady's face with her eyes widened in shock. The lady screamed and rushed off to get her stained shirt cleaned. “I…. I… I don't… I didn't… I didn't know.” She stuttered with a nervous chuckle.

“A fresh coffee will do. No sugar, thanks.” I sharply said, and she nodded her head with a forced smile.

She stormed down the hallway, fuming and mumbling inaudible words to herself with her heels clicking against the polished floor.

“Pst… Claire. Hey, wait.” Someone whispered from a slightly closed door. She stopped and turned her gaze to the door.

Curiously, she rushed to the lady behind the door. “What is it, Hailey?”

“You were right about the sugar daddy. Look.” Hailey brought her phone closer to Claire, who scoffed in disbelief. “She's with the Alpha Prince!”

“Wait, she's an omega? There's no way a human gets to work as a project manager of this company.” Claire freaked out. “Omegas are only meant to eat from the crumbs that fall from our tables. She's even wolfless. How can she fit in with no supernatural powers?”

With a mischievous grin, she continued. “The Prince. He must have faked her entire résumé.”

“Wait until that board meeting. We'll make sure she regrets ever stepping her foot into this company. What a whore she is!” Hailey made a disgusting face at the picture of me and Nate on her screen.

A few minutes later, I was already settled in my new office, doing some paperwork, when I heard a faint knock on the entrance. “Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and Claire walked in with a new glass of coffee. Placing it on my table, she smiled nervously. “I'm truly sorry for what happened earlier.”

I didn't bother looking at her deceiving face. “Let's not make it a habit, shall we?”

“You're about to crash and burn, you witch! Feeling proud because you whored yourself into getting this position? Well, get ready.” She thought to herself with her fists clenched tight.

She turned to leave but stopped and reluctantly turned back to me. “Oh, no… I forgot to tell you, your biggest investor. A very difficult guy. He's going to attend your first board meeting and…”

“Really difficult?” I raised my eyebrows at her.

“Yeah, really. He hates waiting, and…the bad news is he's currently waiting for you.” She continued.

I glanced sharply at the table clock. “2pm? Why was it too slow earlier? Shit! I have to go.” I picked up my laptop and rushed out of the office.

Claire smirked coldly. She had reset the clock too slow, intending to make me go late for my first presentation.

“Let's see how you get out of this one.” She thought with a wide smile before walking out of the office.
