9: Intension

Vanessa's P.O.V.

Our manager stated, "Miss Lyre, Mr. Morningstar is looking for you." My coworkers looked at me as I slowly stood up.

"Why is he looking for you?" Did you do something wrong? "

"Mr. Morningstar is so terrifying that I don't even want to go to his office." I heard him yelling at his employees when they make mistakes. "

I simply smiled at them and proceeded to Zeux's office. Based on the reactions of his employees, he is extremely strict with his company. They didn't seem to want to go to his office. I knocked several times before entering his office. He smiled as he greeted me.

"Come with me," he said as he entered his pantry.

I was surprised to see so many foods on the table. My saliva is dripping from my mouth. There are many foods in front of me, and they all look delicious!

Let's eat. Join me now. I ordered a lot of food because I know you eat a lot, "he said before winking at me.

I smirked. "Well, that's me. I love foof anyway."

I quickly grab a spoon and fork before taking my food. I ate it right away and couldn't stop smiling because it was so good.

"What do you have to say?"

It's so delicious! Don't bother me, I'm eating!" he laughed before beginning to eat.

I felt like I couldn't stand up after we ate two because I had eaten so much. I gently massage my stomach. It has grown slightly. I feel like all I want to do is sleep because I'm tired.

"Are you okay? Your stomach is a little bigger!" he exclaimed, then burst out laughing.

I locked my gaze on him before closing my eyes. I desperately need to sleep.

"I know you're tired. You're welcome to sleep in my room."

Because of what he said, I opened my eyes. He has a private room in his office. Maybe he just sleeps all day when he's too lazy to work. It's great to be the boss.

"I don't want it. Maybe you can do something bad to me," I said, rolling my eyes at him.

His head shook. "No, I won't do anything else. You can lock the door if you want." 

I laughed. "I see you have a key, so you can open it as well."

He scratched his head furiously. "That's a double lock door that I can't open from the outside, so don't think about anything else. You're always overthinking me as a bad person," he said then shook his head.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'm really tired. I'm going to sleep in your room now," I said as I stood up slowly.

"Sleep well, and don't worry, I'm not going to cut your pay. I'll be the one to make an alibi for them. Go to sleep." He said just like he's ordering me.

I gave him a fleeting smile before closing the door. My eyes rolled around. His room's cleanliness and nice designs. They are latest. The lavender scent emanating from the air purifier was detectable. My eyes widened as I looked at the paintings. It's entirely werewolves. Does this imply that he adores them? I suddenly irritated.

I suddenly remembered my parents. What I remember is that my playmate, the boy they looked after, was a werewolf. They said the boy was nice, but I wasn't convinced. And I was correct because werewolves also killed my parents. If that boy had been truly kind, he would have saved my parents, but he did not. He has no sense of gratitude.

Suddenly, I couldn't sleep. I decided not to sleep and went out to his room. When ha¹he saw me, his eyes widened.

"Why did you come out? Didn't you say you were tired?"

I shook my head. "I'm not sleepy anymore. I'll just go back to my department. I have to work and sleeping after eating is not good for me."

He just nodded. "Okay, if that's what you want."

I simply smile. "Thank you, Sir. Thanks for the a lot of food. I really appreciated it. Until next time!" as I said then walk outside to his office. 

When I returned, they looked at me as if they were curious. They're curious about what happened to me inside Zeux's office.

"Did he yell at you?"

"Did he fire you, Vanessa?"

"What did he say to you? Do you still work here?" 

I simply smile at them and proceed to my table. Blake sat next to me. I looked at him once frowned. 

"Why?" I asked him to start filing the papers. 

"What did our boss tell you? Was he angry with you? Did he shout at you? That man's behavior is still very bad. If you make a mistake only once, he will fire you right away. He is so cruel. he wants everything perfect. "

I lightly slapped him on the shoulder. "You're so bad for badmouthing our boss; he wasn't like that to me earlier. Nothing like that happened when I walked into his office."

His pupils dilated. "What exactly did you do there?"

"He just asked me something about my long absence and then I explained why. I guess he understands me," I explained then laugh.

"Ah okay. I'm sorry for judging him. You can't blame me because we all know here that he is extremely strict, which isn't always a good thing. It's good to hear he didn't yell at you," he said, smiling. 

"You know what? In these past few days, I didn't see our boss yelling to us, to his employees."

i raised my eyebrow. "Really."

"Yes. Because every time he passes by here, he will look around to see if there's something wrong and when he sees that, he will scold everyone here in our department. And then we'll just know that someone has been fired. . "

"Really? Does he always do that?"

He agrees with a nod. "Yes, we used to change employees here almost every day. We have been here for a long time, and we are very careful not to make mistakes. We also work together when something goes wrong with us because we don't want to lose anything."

I just nodded and continue what I'm doing. Zeux's behavior bothered me greatly. According to what I've heard, he's a jerk. He will occasionally burst out laughing for no apparent reason and then he suddenly yelled his employees here with no reason. It made me wonder even more why he was so nice to me.

What are his true intentions towards me? Let's see who is the first to give up on the two of us.
