JANA’S POV

.

“Who is there?” I asked, with my eyes, looking around in fear.

“Sorry, did I scare you?” 

It was the pervert CEO who had appeared in the restroom with me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked as I held myself tight.

“I’m not here to hurt you.” He said, looking like he was concerned.

“You are in the female’s restroom!” I shouted as I reached the end of the restroom.

Then he looked around like he knew nothing about where he was. 

“Oh, my goodness. I’m sorry.” He apologized, then left the restroom.

My heart was still racing and I was clueless on what to do. Was he really a pervert? Why is it me he has his eyes on? I left the restroom and walked quickly to the office where I met the others, waiting for me.

“Uhm… Sorry I took time.” I apologized, with my hands, shaking as I picked up my bag.

“It’s fine.” Britney said, with a smile on her face and then, she hung her hand around my shoulders.

Edward had a car, so we all hopped in and he drove us to the restaurant.

“Cheers!” Everyone said and clinked their glass cups, excitedly.

“So, how does it feel, working with us?” Britney asked, as she cupped her cheek with her hands.

“I feel good. It’s actually nice to work here and I’m happy that my colleagues are accommodating.” I said as I gave a big smile.

“We are glad that we are working with you as well.” Alicia said, with a slight smile on her face.

“Heard that the monthly show off is coming up, next week and I caught a glimpse of team B’s design, I am so sorry to say, but their design is mind-blowing. I really hope that they do not tramp over us, this time.” Corey said and adjusted his glasses.

“We won’t allow them crush us, this time.” Britney said as she balled her hands into a fist and pressed her knuckles.

“Let’s just be sure to do our best in whatever we are assigned to do.” Edward finally voiced out.

He looked manly and seemed like he was serious with his work and that was cool.

After work, we all bade each other good bye and then while I was walking back home, a car honked at me and then I looked at my side, it was Edward.

“Seems we are going towards the same direction. Why don’t you hop in?” He asked, staring into my eyes.

“Uh… Won’t that be inconvenient for you?” I asked, fiddling with my fingers.

“If it was, I wouldn’t offer it.”

Edward dropped me at the street near my home and just like anyone would talk with someone they helped with their car, even if it is just a little conversation, Edward didn’t, but it was fine. At least, I was able to have a little rest in his car. I got home and to my surprise, I met Layla, eating chicken and watching a movie.

“What a surprise to see you here. You still have your spare key.” I said as I dropped my bag on the couch, sat beside her and took one chicken.

“You must have had a stressful day.”

“Yeah, I did. And a weird one.”

“A weird one?” She asked, in surprise.

I didn’t want to tell her my encounter with the CEO, and I didn’t have a reason, but I just felt I should watch for a while before saying a thing.

“Just there. I think I’m tired. Let me freshen up, first.” I said as I made my way to the bathroom.

STEFAN’S POV

I could not get my mind off Jana who was now in form of Melissa. If she was in a different form, then she wouldn’t remember me, but I still felt that there was Jana, inside of her.

There was no one that I could ask about this re-incarnation stuff, except in my world, where I would make a journey to the witches’ world, but I was already banned from stepping into their territory.

My phone began to ring and it was my secretary who was calling. I didn’t want to answer the call, because I wasn’t in any mood to do so, but I did, anyway.

“Yeah, what’s it?” I asked, dryly.

“There is a meeting with Miss Jenny that you will have to attend. If you keep declining, it will look bad on the company.” My secretary informed, with a tone of worry.

“Alright, send me the address.”

“Alright, sir.”

The tone in which he spoke, was different, this time, he sounded happy. He was a good secretary and human, because he cared about my well-being and that of the company. Then a text message came in, which read:

“Valdore Restaurant, by 7pm.”

I didn’t expect it to be in the evening, but what could I do? He would have already sent her a message of approval, so I had no choice than to go.

When it was 7pm, I drove off to the restaurant and then to my surprise, she wasn’t in the restaurant, yet, which was unlike her. As I sat and was served a glass of water, a call came in. It was her. What did she have to say? That she won’t be able to make it? Tch!

“Hello?” She sounded scared, when I heard her voice.

“Hello? Is everything okay?” I asked, out of curiosity.

“No, it’s not. Please help me. Someone is after my life and I am right in the alley, not far from the restaurant. Trying to hide from him. If I scream, he’ll get to me before anyone does.” She said, in a low tone as she sniffed.

“Okay, okay. Do not make any noise, I’ll be right there.” I said as I hung up, then I rushed to the alley and saw the man, holding a sharp object.

He had gotten to Miss Vivian and held her neck, about to slit her throat. Then I used my werewolf powers and ran in a split second, then gave him a powerful punch, which knocked him out.

“W…what are you?” Miss Vivian looked up at me, in fear and shock.
